Chapter 24: Go to dungeons to increase rank [2]

Once Erik and Violet entered the dungeon, which was a not very extensive forest. There were only trees and bushes, and there didn't seem to be many animals, as no birds could be heard in the surroundings.

They walked deeper into the forest, staying on full alert to prevent any kind of surprise attack, which is the common tactic of monsters, except for bosses, who are usually more cunning than normal monsters.

After walking for a while, Erik and Violet started to hear monster noises far away from where they were at the moment.

"Kiiekk!!!"

"Kiieekke-!!!"

"They sound like goblins," commented Violet recognizing the sound of the monsters that were not far away from them.

"Are you sure?" asked Erik, as he had never heard the sound goblins made, since he had never encountered one. Although he had heard of goblins in the test, but he hadn't made it to that area, so he didn't recognize the sound those monsters made.

"Yes, I'm sure they're goblins," stated Violet, sure that the monsters were goblins.

"Then this dungeon will be a piece of cake for us," said Erik, now much calmer than when they entered the dungeon, as he was unaware of what kind of monsters would be in the place.

Knowing that they were goblins, he relaxed completely, for these are at the bottom of the food chain. Even an ordinary grown man can defeat them, as long as he does not panic, otherwise he would be devoured by the goblin. Besides, they are the only monsters that can be defeated with conventional weapons, that's how weak goblins are.

"Alright, let's get started," Erik exclaimed, twirling his spear and creating a small breeze.

Violet also prepared to begin, ready to cast her spells now that she had reached D rank, which would allow her to do so a bit faster than before.

A little further ahead, a small group of five goblins could be seen walking calmly, not knowing what awaited them.

Erik, seeing them, didn't think twice and jumped towards them. Although this act was reckless, after all, they were just goblins, weren't they? So he could afford it.

With that leap, Erik landed in the middle of the group of goblins, leaving them completely surprised by his sudden appearance.

"Kiieekke!"

And before the goblins could react or do anything, Erik swung the spear hard, creating a circle. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Shoosh!

"Kiieekk!!!"

The goblins' heads flew through the air after Erik's quick attack that caught them off guard.

[Monsters - Rank E,30 times: incomplete (5/30)]

"Phew... honestly, I'm still surprised," Erik muttered with a wide grin, looking at the lifeless bodies of the goblins. He looked down at his hand and closed it tightly; he was beginning to enjoy this sensation. However, he knew that what he was experiencing was because the monsters were too weak.

"Kieeekk!!!"

"Kikeeeiikk!!!"

Violet, observing the magic circle in the sky, a big smile on her face and excitedly exclaimed, "[Star Glacier!"]

Swoosh!!!

From the magic circle, a large rock made of ice began to emerge, which completely cleared the sky, leaving only the imposing figure of the rock in the firmament.

"Wow, how beautiful!" exclaimed Erik, looking at the huge rock in the sky.

The gigantic mass of ice began to descend from the sky like a meteorite at great speed, straight towards the small village of goblins. The goblins, seeing it, panicked as they realized that it was getting closer and closer.

"Kieekeke!!!"

"Kieekekekeeekk!!!"

"Kieeekakkkaa!!!"

The goblins tried to flee the village, but it was too late to escape the place....

BOOOOOM!!!!

A thunderous sound echoed in the area when the ice rock hit the goblin village, which had no chance to escape, raising a huge cloud of dust all over the place.

RUMBLE!!!

After the rumble came a strong tremor that shook the whole environment, alerting all the animals that were in the forest at that moment.

Swoosh!

Next, a strong breeze swept away all the dust that covered the place, revealing the state of the goblin village, which lay destroyed in the middle of a huge frozen crater.

"How much magical power did you employ in that spell?" inquired Erik, contemplating the vast hole.

"I used half of my magical power reserve" answered Violet, as a bead of sweat slid down her forehead, though her face could not hide the smile.

'Wizards are amazing,' Erik thought as he looked at the crater strewn with hideous monster corpses.

"Well, let's go collect the mana stones," said Erik, heading toward the crater.

Violet heads towards the crater. Once inside, none of the goblins managed to survive Violet's attack. If they had survived, it would have been a true miracle, but they were doomed to die at Erik's hands anyway.

"Wow, it's even more impressive up close," Erik exclaimed at the edge of the crater, then descended to pick up the mana stones.
