Chapter 25: Goblin King's Pursuit

Meanwhile, as Azmond was having some fun with an Ice Beauty, in a large city filled with goblins going about their business with a variety of weapons on their backs, there was a giant 9-foot-tall goblin sitting upon a throne made of bones in the biggest castle north of the city.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The entire castle was currently violently shaking from the mere pressure that the Goblin King was exuding.

"You are telling me that after more than 5 years of searching, you still haven't found a single trace of the human Core Formation Cultivator who killed both GrandMeister Argas and my 3 Asuras...?"

The goblin king spoke in a chilling tone towards five shadows who were kneeling before the throne with tense looks on their faces.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." The Goblin Shadow standing at the front answered his king's question.

Following his confirmation, he continued to orate everything that he knew:

"We have only found out the last approximate location of the Human cultivator based on his latest actions against a village of goblins that were destroyed swiftly and promptly by him as he was on his way heading towards the East... or more specifically heading towards our current location."

........

One might wonder what the goblin shadow was talking about; however, there was some information that needed to be filled in before Azmond made it to the waterfall.

You see, he had a little side quest completed when he was originally on his way to the Goblin Kingdom.

That 'side quest' was to eradicate the entirety of a small goblin village with one simple |Fireball|, a neat skill he named himself while experimenting with the Fire Dominion skill he got from the Divine Devil Arts.

And the goblin village was the perfect training target for his |Fireball| skill.

Of course, he made sure to check for any captured humans left in the goblin village before he razed it to the ground, but most of the humans they captured from nearby human villages were brutally mutilated corpses, with the ones who were still alive being the females...

And let's just say that Azmond put them out of their misery at their request.

After witnessing such a 'sight' firsthand, he became even more determined to eradicate the Goblin King and his entire Kingdom after he completed that side quest.

Nonetheless, it also made him realize that he needed to get stronger a lot faster than he was if he wanted to contest with the Goblin King and whatever else stood in his way to Absolute Power, so Azmond decided to take a 'quick' pit stop on his way to destroying the Goblin Kingdom, which just so happened to be the waterfall with an abundance of Qi available for him to use.

That's the end of the recap, as we make it back to the present day...

........

The leading shadow narrated the report with an apprehensive tone as his voice got even more strained as he neared the end of it.

"Heading in our direction, you say??" The Goblin King questioned in a chilling tone as a large vein bulged on his big green forehead.

"..." "..."

The five shadows kneeling below started sweating buckets when they saw the furious look on their usually calm and collected king.

The goblins who reported this information said they saw a strong-looking human cultivator who looked just like the wanted poster, except that he was older and better looking.

In addition, the reports put an emphasis on the 'Better looking' part, saying that the person they saw was even better looking than the people depicted inside paintings as genuine immortals.

Furthermore, they then stated that the human cultivator was seen by them from a distance, as he was cultivating on top of a small cliff that lay underneath a very large waterfall to the west.

And lastly, it was said that they watched the immortal-like human cultivate for months on end with no breaks or stops as blood constantly poured from all 7 of his orifices.

The goblins who reported this information didn't even know how the human cultivator was still alive after all that blood loss being dished out to him for months on end...

....

"Oh...?"

A brooding look appeared on the Goblin King's less terrifying countenance as he walked back over to his large throne and sat down.

He then took a few moments to contemplate before he finally turned his head up and looked at the now-three kneeling goblin shadows.

"I think I know of just the large waterfall tens of thousands of miles east of my kingdom."

The Goblin King's usual sinister face once again returned as he looked in a certain direction and started to fade away.

It wouldn't be long before he would soon disappear from his throne; however, he gave one last command before fully fading:

"I'll go deal with this human cultivator myself... Tell my advisors that I'm going out for a short walk."

"If I hear that any single one of you used my authority for your own purposes when I come back..."

His voice suddenly became frosty.

"Then let's just say that death will be a luxury for you..."

The Goblin King's chilling voice was heard one last time before he fully faded away, as the three goblin shadows still kneeling were practically sweating buckets at the thought of receiving their king's ire.

......

Meanwhile, in the skies above GoblinHaven,.

'It's time to see which lone human cultivator still has the guts to completely disregard my authority over these lands."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A scary smile emerged on the now-flying Goblin King's face as sonic booms were constantly produced.

His speeding figure was seen headed in a certain direction west of the Goblin Kingdom's capital.
