Goblin Knight - Chapter 316



Only Noblemtl

EP.316 Time Problem (24)

Even though I heard the shocking truth that it was the ruler of the Federation who had been chasing them, it honestly didn’t hit me right away.

One reason was that Blanc was almost ignorant of the highs and lows of social status and power, but the most important reason was that he ‘didn’t understand it at all.’

The ruler of the Federation… So, the king of all the monsters and demons in existence came after me?

Wouldn’t you first wonder why?

But it’s as if he doesn’t even give me time to answer those questions myself.

I felt the eyes of the woman who was waving her dark blue wings in the night sky turn towards this place.

I didn’t see it directly. It was flying high up in the sky, and the full moon was behind it, so even Blanc, who had good night vision, couldn’t see its face properly because of the backlight.

But… I felt it.

– Obey! Give me your all!

That He who should reign over all monsters took notice of a single insignificant goblin.

“That… evil… …!?”

“Sir Blanc!?”

Boom, Boom, Boom!!

I felt my heart pounding so hard it hurt, accelerating the blood flow throughout my body.

His blood was racing, his brain burning hot as if it was going to burst under the illusion of a pair of huge blue eyes staring straight at him.

The realization that in order to cool down and survive, he must abandon everything and follow the orders of the One who reigns filled his head… … .

… … But then who will protect Annely?

“Ugh, uhh… Never… back down… … !”

Ugh.

Biting the flesh inside his mouth to regain his senses, Blanc barely managed to pull out the silver sword and aimed it at the blue eyes.

“The evil that must be confronted… no matter how powerful it may be… …! Fight against evil without hesitation!!”

Chook!!

The moment the silver curtain, swung with all his might, cut through the blue eyes, the illusion dispersed like a goblin and disappeared.

The heat of my blood that was so hot it felt like it was going to burn me, and the voices that filled my head telling me to obey immediately, have all become so small that I can somehow ignore them.

However, since the mental effort was not ordinary, he was holding his breath while leaning against the wall, and Gilan, who was watching him from the side, muttered in surprise.

“Could it be that you have just now… broken the second princess’s mind? You were able to break free from the dream she forced upon you?”

“Simsang? Yes, indeed, it is imaginary… I think I know what it feels like when I experience it myself… Now that I think about it, the three questions that the tall guy used were also a type of imaginary… …?”

While Blanc was mumbling at the sudden realization, he felt a look of surprise from the dreamer above. Was he still conscious?

But that was only for a moment.

The woman pointed to Blanc with a slender, jade-colored hand, as if it were nothing more than a minor matter.

At the same time, the air in the space changed.

The war and murderous intent that filled the whole world… … .

It belonged to monsters.

“Charge! Charge!!”

“His Majesty protects us!!”

“For the dream of walking through winter!!”

A loud advance sound was heard from all directions, as if they had been waiting for that gesture all along.

I couldn’t even begin to imagine how many and how varied the sounds were: the sound of hooves, the sound of heavy footsteps, the crunching of tree roots, the sound of sharp claws clashing with metal.

Was that all? The night sky was also soon filled with the shadows of monsters.

A flying lizard that looked like a really small dragon (but still big compared to Blanc), a ghost that was wandering around, a dream horse, a harpy… countless flying monsters whose names I don’t even know.

All of that was just chasing them.

“under…….”

It’s almost time for Ella to wake up… but no matter how strong Ella is, will she be able to handle that army?

There’s a monster out there that can blow up half of this massive building with a single wave of the hand, and overpower Blanc with a single glance?

Blanc let out a sigh of relief at the hopeless power gap.

But… it wasn’t like there was no way to fight back.

Because this was a rippling land.

“Damn it! Yeah, looks like I’m going to have to skip the plan a bit!”

“What? Your plan to go up!? You’re still worrying about that? What the heck-”

“It seems like the part about coming back after reorganizing has become impossible!!”

Gilan frowned and took out his key card.

“Security number OZ-1900! Request that the defense system be activated at the highest level! Pour everything, both present and absent, into Factory 7!!”

– WARNING. Military supplies have not been replenished for the past 000,000,000,000,000 days. If you continue to fire at full power, supplies will be depleted in less than 30 minutes. And yet-

“Okay, do it!!”

– Your request has been completed.

Clank, clank, clank… … !

As Gilan’s rebuke fell, strangely shaped hemispheres began to appear on the walls of the factory, which had previously appeared smooth.

The hemisphere was white and round, with only one flat surface cut out, and out of it protruded six gun barrels, like those seen on the Tin Man.

Blanc seemed to intuitively know what it was designed for.

“Found it! Here it is! Here they are-”

– Initiating interception. Have a nice day.

Tutatatatatatatang!!

With an ear-splitting metallic sound, the six barrels spun furiously, spitting out fire.

Unfortunately, the giant rock troll that was the first to find them was reduced to rags by the torrent of shells that poured down like a waterfall, making the rock that covered its entire body pale in comparison.

And this wasn’t just happening here.

The sound of the monsters advancing from all directions was drowned out by the overwhelmingly loud explosion, and the sky was filled with hundreds and thousands of orange flashes.

I vaguely thought that if the end of the world came, it would feel like this.

“This is, this is… the true appearance of the rippling land… … .”

“… … I’m speechless. It’s so magnificent.”

Ella, who had woken up to the commotion, was standing next to him, mouth open, looking up at the sky.

Is there an army in this world that can withstand that immense firepower? Why, that foolish unit of immortal guilders that was tricking the black dragon would probably be taken care of in a second.

I couldn’t help but think, “Do I really need to move somewhere else? Why can’t I just hold out here and repel them all?”

but.

“Don’t let your guard down. Do you remember what I told you when we first met?”

“what?”

“The defenses here will not be breached unless even the leader of the Federation comes.”

Gilan muttered, looking up at the sky.

“And here she is.”

– Nightmares erase your existence… … .

A woman’s soft voice was heard.

It was a small voice, but it was a voice that could be heard everywhere she saw.

Just a moment ago, the ‘darkness’ that had obliterated half of the building spread out in all directions, centered around her.

The turrets rising from the ground, endlessly firing shells, each and every crimson flash that covers the sky and oppresses the monsters, all of them-

– The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… The nightmare erases your existence… … .

“… … !!”

Every time the woman finished one ominous sentence, something covered in black seemed to disappear.

The turrets, of course, as well as the countless flashes of light that had been illuminating the sky, were consumed by the darkness and disappeared.

Even they remained in space, consuming the countless flashes of light that followed.

“That’s… the leader of the Federation… … .”

“Ha, she’s the type that cares about her subordinates, so she survived! Since she’s only focused on defense, she’ll probably be able to stall for longer than expected!”

“No- This won’t solve anything! Even if it’s in the air, what are we going to do with the ground dogs that are running at us right now!?”

It was just as Ella said.

The net that had dominated the space became thin in an instant, and the offensive that had been at a standstill for a moment began to strike more fiercely than before.

Soon, they will come at you from all directions, and while it won’t be an immediate end, you will eventually be tied down.

Moreover, in this worst situation, Nikola, who should be the main force, is still fighting with the 0th body-

– … … change priority.

“What? What are you saying? Where are you going!!”

One of the two tin men who had been fighting furiously regardless of whether the surroundings were a mess or not, Number 0, suddenly turned around and started running away.

But Nicola was about to chase after him.

“Oh, stop there for a moment. The motion function is locked.”

“Gilan!? What are you doing! Our contract is-”

“I know, I know. I don’t really mean to bother you. I just think it would be better if we went together, given the circumstances. So please don’t be too angry.”

Just as he had locked his voice at the base, Gilan locked Nicola’s body and approached her.

and…….

“Put the quarantine gate down. The target is Lord Blanc and his party.”

– Your request has been completed. Have a nice day.

Ji… ing!

A transparent wall suddenly appeared between Gilan’s group and Blanc’s group.

No, it wasn’t correct to say it rose, because it was a transparent rectangular prism that completely enveloped them.

“Gilran? What is this-”

“I’m sorry, Sir Blanc, but I think our deal has come to an end.”

Gilan bowed her head slightly towards him.

But, sadly, as if he really felt sorry.

It was a familiar face, as if I had seen it a lot.
