Chapter 16 Unknown Power

Nikol was hiding near the bushes thinking Alva would be able to take care of the monsters. Nikol did not doubt Alva's power because he witnessed her strength beforehand.

Even though Nikol was able to injure the spider when he first met it, he had no idea how he did and after that incident, he tried to do it again but he wasn't able to. It was almost like he suddenly became strong when that incident happened.

Alva was trying her best to protect the others from the goblins on the front line and Nikol was impressed by her bravery and strength. Her figure protecting others was too lovely and valiant.

"Are those creatures called goblins? I didn't think they would look this ugly in real life," Nikol thought looking at the green creatures.

He didn't see the powerful goblins at first because he was at a considerable distance from others, but when he saw them and Alva struggling to protect others, he felt helpless.

"Damn it! She took care of me until now, why can't I help her when she needs me the most,"

"Why am I so weak? What's with my body getting powerful randomly?"

He was getting impatient looking at Alva and the huge goblins getting close to her. He felt the need to protect her but, at the same time powerlessness affected his mind.

Nikol remembered how he first attacked the monster so he took a piece of rock and aimed at the monster but it couldn't reach the monster.

He was getting rather impatient and angry looking at those goblins getting close to Alva. He felt his blood rushing onto his brain in anger.

"Damn it! Damn it!" He threw the last piece of rock, he had in his hand toward the direction of the monster and he felt the difference between the previous throws and this.

"It felt great, I feel like my body weight had been lifted or floating," Nikol thought while looking at his hand.

At this point, he was fully aware that he wasn't on the earth anymore because of all these bizarre things. He had no idea about his sister's whereabouts, he didn't want to think she was dead because if he was alive then Viola who excelled in swimming must also be.

He saw that his stone was not powerful enough to damage the goblin so he took a stick and ran after them to attack their blind spot.

Alva didn't understand what was happening at first, but when she saw Nikol running toward the goblin her body freezes for a second.

"Idiot! What are you doing? Go back," Alva knew he wasn't strong enough to face them because she never saw his strength while training him.

In Alva's mind, Nikol wasn't the weakest but he was still at the level of a newbie for her. He had the right amount of strength to wield a good weapon and the accuracy and speed to rival most of the warriors but he didn't have enough training.

Alva had no idea what hit the goblin at that speed but she took the chance and pierced its hand to take the escape.

If she wanted to protect Nym and others before, now her mind was on rescuing Nikol. She felt ashamed that she felt that way but, she didn't want to see him getting injured.

"Nikol, go back, I will take care of them," Alva shouted but he didnt stop running toward the goblins.

The three goblin generals were focusing their attention on Alva and the rock that they didnt notice which was thrown by Nikol.

He quickly jumped and hit the head of one of the goblins and attacked the other one with his legs. If someone had closely paid attention they could have noticed that Nikol's fingernails were violet in colour and very sharp right now.

The collective attack of both Alva and Nikol caused great damage to all three of them and the one who got pierced by Nikol's fingernail was acting rather strange.

"Alva, I'm sorry but I can't leave you alone, this is too much for you, I will help you," Nikol said taking a defensive position after landing on the ground.

Alva felt sweet inside her but at the same time, she had many questions.

"How the fuck did he jump that high?"

"Those attacks, they are a lot faster and stronger than, I remember,"

She looked at his tall figure and got intoxicated by his actions. She felt like her heart would explode at any moment by excitement and thrill.

Alva was disturbed by the loud growling of the monsters which caused her to get angrier and angrier with them.

Nikol noticed her angry face and thought she was angry with him for acting without informing her but, Nikol didn't mind getting scolded after helping her.

Somehow his body felt so light and powerful unlike before, it was like something inside him trying to come out but unable to.

"Alva, I know you're angry with me, but first let's defeat them together, after that you can scold me," Nikol said while taking a sword which was lying on the ground.

"Ah~ ok," She got startled by his voice and quickly agreed with him.

Both of them were getting ready to attack the growling monsters looking rather grotesque with their impure blood all over their bodies.

"Nikol, be careful, there is a mage goblin but I have no idea where it is," She warned him.

Nikol nodded at her words and ran toward the monster together with Alva. They were planning to rain them down with their attacks before they recover.

Nikol quickly swung his sword and tried to pierce the leg of a goblin general but unlike before it felt a lot more weaker and it only managed to graze its leg a little.

"Damn it! What's this? I feel strong and weak all of sudden, what's with me?" Nikol thought while taking a step back.

Alva was doing a great job attacking the monster unlike Nikol because she wanted to show off a little to him. She was keeping an observant eye on Nikol, so she can help him if he was ever in danger while fighting her opponent.

They were exchanging attacks for a few minutes until Alva and Nikol duo managed to fatally wound two of the goblin generals. The remaining one was trying to retreat but it wasn't able to escape from the grasp of Alva and Nikol. She quickly ambushed it and tried to kill it before it run into the forest.

Nym finished using her healing on the injured girls and observed the fight and she was surprised to see another one coming to help.

She had seen this new face a few times before in the village introducing himself to the others but, she wasn't the type to get too friendly with unknown people so she didn't get to know Nikol.

Despite all this, nobody noticed the green figure with a stick hiding in the forest looking at the battle. It took the chance and chanted a spell aimed at Nym who was isolated by others.

Nym or Alva didn't notice this but Nikol was able to sense something was wrong. He quickly looked around to see an orange colour light forming in the forest.

At first, he was a little confused but then he remembered the words of Alva. He saw that mages can do things like fire and water forming so he quickly tried to kill it but, it was too late.

*Grrahh

The Goblin mage released an ugly voice and finished chanting its spell aiming at Nym. Nikol quickly changed the path and tried to protect the girl.

The spell it chanted was a fire element spell. There were six elements such as fire, water, wind, earth, dark, and light. Normally the number of mages was low and those who had the power won't be able to use it for attack purposes but this situation changes from race to race.

Unlike elves, humans had low magical power so their spells were somewhat weak and just like that the opposite can be said for elves too. Their physical strength was lacking a lot more than humans so most of the elves are useless in close-range battles.

Nym was scared looking at the orange colour ball getting close to her. She knew what it was and Nym had no way to evade it because she wasn't the best when it comes to speed.

Even if she evaded it, the fireball would hit the unconscious girl, she didnt wants anything to happen to them because she thought that it was because of her that everyone here had to face this attack.

She decided to protect these three girls from the fire spell by covering them but, she never felt something hitting her or the heat of the fire spell.

She was confused but after opening her eyes, she was only able to see the shadow of a person standing covering her from the spell. She didnt expect someone to protect her like this but her face went pale looking at the figure.

Alva was distracted by the other goblin but with all the sounds she heard, Alva decided to back instead of chasing the goblin and encountering more goblins in their caves.

When she returned, Alva saw something she wouldn't forget even if she go to sleep. Her body went numb seeing it,

"Nikoooool~" She couldn't help but scream looking at him.
