Chapter 41: Vampire!

TL: Sungmin

Loder was speaking seriously, appearing more clear-headed than ever before.

Moved to tears, Cecil hugged his leg and cried, “Cousin, I’m sorry for berating you earlier, cousin!”

“Hehe, a prisoner dares to negotiate with me?”

Lin Tian showed no mercy and directly cut off one of Cecil’s legs to roast.

The paralysis caused no pain, but the brutal scene made him faint out of fear!

A smile curved on Loder’s gloomy face, “Listen to me, how about letting him go? The family will definitely send many people to rescue me then.”

“Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting?” Lin Tian looked at him coldly.

It seemed Loder’s mind had completely collapsed.

Suddenly, Loder became agitated and yelled, “Out of my mind? You could kill more people then! Devour more powerful ones! Kill them all! I’ll help you do that!”

“Are you serious?” Lin Tian still doubted.

Loder laughed maniacally, “They all deserve to die! All of them!!! They didn’t send troops to rescue me for so long and sent this useless guy instead, so they deserve to die! And that whore, if I could, I would help you kill her too!”

“Alright, I believe you. Ifreya, heal this guy.” Lin Tian agreed directly.

He ordered Ifreya to come and treat Cecil first.

Then he walked to the furnace, picked up the roasted leg, and tossed it in front of Loder like feeding a dog.

He said, “This is your reward.”

A flash of murderous intent passed through Loder’s eyes, different from usual.

Immediately, he recovered and began gnawing on the leg, “Delicious! Delicious!”

“Boss, isn’t this letting the tiger return to the mountain? Our location will be exposed.” Lia expressed her concern.

Lin Tian gestured to interrupt, “Don’t you trust me?”

“I understand.”

Lia said no more.

In the end, they arranged for a few goblins to carry Cecil out and throw him into the forest.DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m

...

Bright Town.

People knew that Cecil and others had joined forces to exterminate the goblins.

They were eagerly awaiting good news.

In the tavern, everyone was drinking and chatting.

At this time, someone joked, “It’s been so long with no news, did they all get wiped out? Hahaha.”

“I’d rather believe a goblin can screw me over than that they all got wiped out.”

“He’s just joking, though it’s unlikely, who knows.”

“If a team of two Diamond-level adventurers loses, we might as well pack up and leave.”

No one believed such a thing could happen.

Just a few goblins, even high-level intelligent ones, were still just goblins.

They couldn’t stir up much trouble.

For hundreds of years, stories of goblin kings being killed were frequent.

The impression of goblins being weak was ingrained in human minds.

The Wandering Hero said, “Don’t think the Sword Saintess lost, she only lost to herself. Diamond-level adventurers dealing with a bunch of goblins is no pressure, at least not for me.”

“Bang!”

At this moment, the tavern door was violently pushed open.

A bald man in simple leather armor rushed in excitedly, “It’s over! It’s all over! They’re all dead!”

“What’s over?! Calm down!”

The tavern owner cursed; that was his door!

The bald man panted, “I just saw Cecil come back, missing a leg, looking extremely miserable! He rode a carnivorous horse and left Bright Town, heading towards the capital!”

“What!”

The Wandering Hero smiled awkwardly, “Forget it, I’m supposed to slay dragons, not goblins, and I’m not interested in bounty hunting.”

“I don’t like moving at night.” Goblin Slayer said and left the tavern.

The red-fanged bat was a bit disappointed, “What a pity, we can only operate at night. Otherwise, Gru and his team wouldn’t have met such a fate. Let’s move out, my kin.”

“Screech! Screech!”

A swarm of bats flapped out of the tavern.

They flew towards the enchanted forest.

...

At this time, a well-equipped knight riding a carnivorous horse arrived swiftly at Bright Town.

After asking around, he found the room where the Sword Saintess was staying.

The door was tightly shut, and despite it being just after dusk, the lights were already out.

The knight sighed, took out a letter, and slipped it under the door, then turned to leave.

...

Above the enchanted forest, the bats, being vampires, had the advantage at night.

They had excellent vision, quick reflexes, and a keen sense of smell. It didn’t take long for them to catch the strong scent of blood.

It was coming from across the river, several kilometers away, from the uncleaned battle site.

The bats hung upside down on the trees, pondering the battle traces.

“Leader, what do you think? There doesn’t seem to be a large tribe around here.” One bat asked.

The red-fanged bat sniffed carefully, then its eyes gleamed with a sinister red light, “Go back, they left this on purpose!”

Following the scent, they quickly returned to the riverbank.

They hovered around a waterfall.

The red-fanged bat smirked, “The scent stops here, they’re definitely inside! Let’s go!”

With that, the swarm dove into the waterfall.

Sure enough, they saw two big goblins patrolling inside.

“Bats?”

“Ignore them, stay alert.”

The two large ones commented, paying no further attention.

After all, why would monsters care about a bunch of bats?

It was nothing unusual.

The red-fanged bat led the way, quietly infiltrating deeper into the cave, reaching the living area.

Inside, the goblins were all sound asleep.

They were snoring blissfully.

The bats didn’t act immediately, but silently scoped out the entire cave.

The red-fanged bat was surprised, “There are so few goblins? And only one mutant variant?”

“Could we have the wrong place? This seems like a medium-sized tribe.”

The members were puzzled.

The red-fanged bat was sure, “No mistake, with so many big goblins, it’s just as Goblin Slayer said. Let’s feast, drink your fill!”

“Though goblin blood tastes bad, it’s very nutritious!”

One bat said as it quietly climbed onto a sleeping goblin.

Its sharp teeth gently pierced the skin, like an ant bite, unnoticed by the deeply sleeping goblin.

In just over ten seconds, the previously robust big goblin turned into a dried corpse.

The red-fanged bat also drank heartily, “Tonight, drink to your fill!”

The Cold-Blooded Mercenaries had killed many powerful opponents in this silent, deadly manner.
