Chapter 119 Clearing The First Floor

Readying themselves for battle, the whole team moved forward.

​ "What's the status Emma," Ray asked as he threw some fireballs but couldn't see a thing.

"Don't move forward," Emma shouted as she held Ray's arm and stopped him from moving forward, "There is dark magic used here. The place forward is a trap," She continued and used her Aura to highlight the magic used.

Sending her Aura forward, the whole place changed as strange archaic runes appeared on the ground, walls, and even the roof. After observing the runes for some time, Ray decided as he spoke,

"Okay guys, time for plan B,"

"Are you sure?" Noah asked in contemplation as he continued, "Whatever, I am with you. Let's get this over with," Noah said as he showed full support for Ray.

Not only Noah, but everyone else also showed support for Ray as they nodded in agreement.

Seeing everyone nod, Ray smiled as he spoke,

"I thank you all for your support, but for this one. I will head out first,"

With that, Ray used his barrier-type ability as a multicolored barrier appeared all around his body. This was a different type of barrier named,

[Mana Immunity Barrier],

This barrier granted Ray protection from all types of attacks that used mana as their source. Though this barrier had one downside and it was that it needed a lot of time and energy points to charge while it also needed Ray to concentrate a lot while using it.

Hence, Ray didn't use this barrier type very often as it was more distracting than useful. However, the barrier type turned out to be perfect for the situation he faced right now.

Therefore, activating his barrier, Ray stepped into the trap as he unsheathed his sword, and charged forward.

As Ray charged forward, many traps activated as all sorts of attacks rained down on him. Ranging from simple mana attacks to mana arrows and dark magic attacks while all sorts of curses rained on him. However, nothing happened to Ray as the barrier deflected all the attacks that hit it.

Ray took his time as he slowly crossed through the place and activated all the traps while rendering them useless.

After walking some distance, Ray came across the goblins that waited in ambush, and just as Emma had told him, he saw twenty goblins standing in front of him as they held weapons and magical artifacts in their hands.

Out of the twenty, only three of them gave him a sense of danger as he asked Aurora,

"Don't you think it's too much? All twenty of these goblins are stronger than the ones we fought previously. Not only that, those three are giving off some serious magical aura. Isn't this supposed to be the first floor?" Ray asked in confusion as he readied himself for a clash while sending a message to his teammates by his transmission technique.

Not waiting for them to arrive, Ray charge ahead as he kicked the ground, and jumped in the air. Jumping in the air, Ray used a different approach as he used his spell,

[Lightning Net]

Using this spell, he threw it at the strongest three of the goblins as he distracted them and attacked the weaker ones in a bid to decrease the numbers.

"Take this you filthy creature," Ray shouted, his body falling as his sword slashed in an arc.

'Swoosh.. Clack.. Clingg',

Ray did a back flip as he reached the ground and maintained his balance. Smirking over the thought of fooling those goblins and taking out a few of them, Ray looked forward to seeing how many goblins he eliminated.

However, to Ray's shock, all the goblins stood in their place unharmed with not even a single scratch on their skin.

"How?" Ray thought in confusion as he looked around in a bid to find any clues over why his attack failed to harm a single one of them.

Looking behind him, Ray saw the hobgoblin smirking at him as a mirror appeared in front of it.

"So that's how," Ray thought as he identified the mirror to be one of the artifacts that hobgoblins used to transfer attacks from one place to another.

"My attack was most probably transferred to an inanimate object such as some rock or wall. Though, that hobgoblin is dangerous," Ray thought while simultaneously churning his mana as he prepared to fight head-on.

"Came at me with all you have got, you filthy mongrels," Ray shouted in spite and readied his weapon to attack.

"We are here Ray. Don't you go fight against them on your own," Sirius's angry voice sounded out as a gust of wind blew up and Sirius appeared beside Ray.

"Huh?" Ray turned to look at Sirius who stood beside him. After that, Ray looked back and saw the whole team standing in formation, ready to attack at a moment's notice.

Seeing this, Ray grinned and his aura skyrocketed as he looked at the three goblins that stood in the middle and spoke,

"Ohh.. How much I am going to love beating you to a pulp,"

Even though the goblins couldn't understand a word Ray said, it nonetheless sent shivers down their spines as all the goblins readied their attacks.

On the other hand, the assault team, which consisted of Ray, Sirius, and the kid, used their attacks as well.

Sirius used his complete transformation as he transformed into a wolf that had dark brown fur with red eyes while the kid used his system as an ice dagger formed in front of him.

Holding the dagger in a backhand grip, the kid grinned widely as he licked his lips in anticipation.

Meanwhile, Ray also went all out and infused his sword with fire while he spread 'Lightning Net' all around the place. Thus, making a makeshift battlefield for the assault team and the three goblins to fight.

On the other side,

The hobgoblins also readied their magic as they raised their staff and started chanting some gibberish,

"GU…KE…DUU… KIDA…BOO..BAA…PUU…SSY"

The hobgoblins chanted as their staffs glowed with an eerie black light while blackish mist seeped out of them. With their magic ready, the hobgoblins moved in unison as they lifted their staffs in the air and sent out three consecutive attacks.

Strange balls of back mist left the staff as they flew towards Ray and the others. Seeing those balls of mist coming towards them, everyone dodged and did a counterattack of their own.

Ray sent a flurry of fireballs while Sirius charged forward towards one of the hobgoblins and engaged with it in hand-to-hand combat as he slashed and swiped with his claws while the hobgoblin was left to defend using his staff.

On the other hand, the kid counter-attacked in the most unique way of them all as the kid used his mana to build a carpet of ice beneath him and then slid along the ice as he approached the last hobgoblin.

Though it seemed a bit strange, the kid's strength was nothing to scoff at as the kid reached the hobgoblin within the span of a few seconds and started slashing it all over.

Meanwhile, outside the lightning field, the whole team fought as they overtook seventeen goblins on their own.

"Hey Aliya, give me some heal over here," Tim shouted as he asked Aliya to heal him,

"You jerk, it's the third heal you asked me since the start of the battle. How the hell are you even getting injured? There is barely any goblin attacking you," Aliya retorted in anger and annoyance. Though, she didn't stop healing Tim as she knew that Tim was constantly running around the battlefield to tank the goblins wherever needed.

While Tim and Aliya quarreled, the whole team continued to fight in their unique ways. Aella used her remarkable marksmanship to pinpoint any hidden goblins and hit them while she herself hid between her teammates.

Elina used her curses to place traps at different locations on the battlefield while Emma helped her with the places to place traps at.

Not only that, Noah helped the most as his spirit needles continued to aid everyone as they formed various small defensive formations that helped the team avoid any fatal injuries.

As the team fought against the goblins, Ray, Sirius, and the kid reached the end of their fight while Ray used his flaming sword to decapacitated the hobgoblin while Sirius was more violent as he tore off both arms of his opponent and shoved them into the hobgoblin's mouth, hence tearing it's mouth open.

Lastly, the kid defeated his hobgoblin as he bled the goblin to death by slashing it hundreds of times.

The hobgoblins fell to the ground as they disintegrate into light particles. Only a few items were left behind when they died.

Ray sighed in relief as he bent down and picked up the dropped item as he inspected it,

[Skill Book: Curse Of Darkness],

On the other hand, Sirius and the kid also picked up their drops as they inspected it,

[Skill Book: Curse Of Weakness]

[Skill Book: Curse Of Rotting]
