While I am on my smithy, I can hear the various sounds of battles up on the surface which means the monsters have already found their way here already. I am not worried about their arrival as I trust my followers and pets in dealing with all of the monsters that are coming.
So I continued my job and finished up all of the amalgamation processes that I have yet to finish. It was easy compared to smithing so I am not having a bad time doing so. It took a little bit of time for me before I managed to finish all of the stuff that was clogged to my schedule.
Once I was done, I returned to the living room. Lily is currently helping Lina cooking. It looks like Lina already helped her mother to accept what happened and decided to spend their time. I didn't bother to disturb them as they rarely have any time to bond together even though they are mother and daughter. It's not right for me to ruin that moment.
Going to the door, I turned to look at the sofa and saw Almira sleeping soundly. It seems she didn't care at all about what is happening around her. But it's normal as she is strong enough to handle herself. If she managed to keep a toe-in-toe with the late King Arthur then the monsters are just nothing to her. So there is no reason for her to intervene, she can just keep sleeping and not worry about the incoming attacks of monsters.
Since Almira is clearly not going to wake up anytime soon, I went outside to check out what is the current situation as the sounds of monsters and magic spells exploding is getting rampant and frequent. I want to see how bad the attacks of monsters are looking.
When I got out, the monsters are easily killed left and right by my followers and pets. Mizuchi easily deals with the bigger monsters and eats them up while the smaller ones are given to my other followers like the wolves that easily managed to use their teamwork to deal with multiple enemies and kill them without any problem. Gobu annihilates the monsters by using his sword skills and magic power. You cannot even think of him as a normal goblin due to how he already surpassed the current idea that goblins are not capable of becoming advanced classes.
Tina supports the backline by becoming both the buffer and debuffer which allows her allies to become stronger and her enemies to suffer in different debuffs that either weakens them or constantly damage them. Lucia and Atlas are both killer machines that easily break hordes after hordes of monsters without breaking a sweat. Alongside Leona, Atlas will be more broken than ever due to their compatibility.
"You should be among them helping fight the horde. I don't know why but you are a disgrace as one of the ferocious monsters alive right now," I looked at Cath Palug who is still dangling on my left shoulder.
"Hey, if not for the fact that I was being reduced to this state by that f*cking Merlin then I will not be stuck in this form for so long! Don't blame me for being unable to properly fight! Blame that Merlin f*cker as he is the one who did this to me!"
I can only scratch my head. As much as Cath Palug wanted to do so, he is right that he cannot fight at all as he was reduced to a state where even the weakest monster can kick his *ss in one go. As much as I want to see Cath Palug easily obliterates the enemies, the risk of having Cath Palug retain his abilities is also the risk of him becoming the monstrosity that would soon cause the raid of Cath Palug to occur. I would rather have this form of this guy rather than the monster form which still makes me shiver thinking about it.
Compared to the invasion of monsters in the Capital who are directly the target of the enemies, the current monster invasion happening right now is not even that bad as they are not as numerous as that in the capital. I can even say I can defend the mansion just fine even with myself alone but hey. free experience is a free experience and it also helps my followers and pets to level up too not just in battles with me.
It took a few more minutes before the horde thinned out and although there are some cases of the other monsters appearing from time to time, it certainly made the monster attacks less compared to earlier where the hordes of monsters just keep on coming.
"Good work everyone. You guys can go and rest if there are no more enemies coming in. If you guys are hungry, go ask Lina inside the mansion for some food. They are preparing food with her mother and there is nothing like having good food to eat after an intense fight."
If the players in the capital see me like this, everyone would be green in envy due to how I have it easy without doing much. But as much as I want to say things, it's just not gonna be possible without changing a lot of the current events. I have changed quite a lot of events in the past already. It would be troublesome if I decided to change the main key events that happened before that would impact quite a lot. If I really needed to change it, I will do all I can to change it, and this event that happened is the least event I needed to intervene in.
Now, it seems the time is right. Now that the situation is getting rough in the capital, it seems it is time to increase the profits I have right now. I didn't just let the situation of dungeon break get worse like this. For a person like me, who knows already how tough it is under the siege of the monsters in the Capital after the Dungeon Break, I should take this chance to get extra profit. This is just business, nothing too personal.
