Chapter 219: Orc Nest

"Hey~ It's time to wake up my dear."

"Five more minutes Zzzzz."

"You said I should wake you before noon, well it's time," whispered a pretty young girl into the man's ear.

"Yawn, what day is it?" Gerald slowly got up and stretched his limbs when a sudden headache hit him.

"Uff, my head is killing me! Seems like nanites are breaking down way faster than expected I really shouldn't have drank that much..." he mumbled while holding his head, and slowly got off the bed.

"Wait, did you say it's noon already?!"

"Yes."

"Fuck! I'm going to be late!" Gerald simply touched his clothes on the floor and they disappeared into thin air, before reappearing on him.

Instant Dress Technique!

"Oh~" The girl seductively gasped at the sight.

"No time to explain, I got to fly! Take care baby," Gerald said and sent her a kiss with a gesture of his hand. Then he ran to the window

The girl smiled like a pretty flower and waved him goodbye, only she didn't expect him to simply jump out of the window.

"What the-? Oh my gosh!" She ran after him and looked outside, only to see his figure rising higher and higher.

"Oh my Nobody is going to believe me"

***

Gerald flew in the sky, but then another wave of pain hit him and he wobbly landed on a roof.

"Ugh, maybe I should take a little rest. I'm sure they will be fine without me for a few hours"

He cast Recovery and drank a Healing Potion to try and get rid of the hangover.

It seemed to be slowly working.

There was a clear hierarchy between them, and you could figure out many things with just a single glance.

Rich guys had expensive-looking gear, such a s wands, staves, or jewelry, while the rest held simple amulets made of Earth Crystals, or even better yet, the raw Earth Crystal itself.

As chunks of earth were pulled from the ground, the hole slowly expanded and sunlight shone into the darkness.

The job was all but quiet and discrete, and soon beasts started swarming out.

Just as they expected, dozens of stinky Goblins rushed out in panic, and aggressively attacked anything that moved.

Tak!

A bolt pierced the forehead of one of them and the beast collapsed on the floor like an empty sack.

"Keep casting, don't let them disturb you! Time is of the essence!" Ravian shouted and loaded another bolt on his crossbow.

Meanwhile, mages and archers started picking off the little pests before they could do any damage. Of course, Goblins were merely fodder, and nobody expected them to be any more than a nuisance.

The real fight would start when they would descend into the caverns below.

One of the mages there was standing out a little bit among the athletic warriors. He was on the short side and even slightly fat, however, his control over Mana was quite good.

He created a fat snake out of water and sent it rushing at one of the Goblins. The snake exploded on impact and sent the Goblin tumbling on the ground while making a whole bunch of mud on the forest floor.

"Hee-hee, you are mine now!" The chubby mage licked his lips in excitement and pointed with his staff while chanting a spell. Meanwhile, his right hand moved constantly, and his ring-adorned fingers traveled in a circular motion.

The mud under the Goblin moved as if it was alive, and thick tentacles rose from it, grabbing the beast.

The mage trembled in excitement as his fingers moved all over the place, and even his tongue was constantly dancing on his lips.

The muddy tentacles tried to force themselves down the Goblins throat and nose, in an attempt to slowly choke it to death.

"Hehehe, yes, yes! Suck on it! Suck on it good! Choke on my big, fat-"

Slice!

Igrit from the Phoenix Knight decapitated the struggling Goblin in one swing and gave the fatty a disgusted look.
