The Bored Immortal

"Hmph, just words and foolish bravado are not enough to intimidate us high-rank adventurers!" Verona snarled as she cast a fireball right towards Viktor, who felt that this fire was really tame compared to the cursed flames he once got blasted with when he battled Nyissa in the past.

Even though this fireball contained odic force, it wasn't really at the level where it would severely hurt him or anything. 

Still, he casually dodged it as he charged toward Verona since taking her down first would just get rid of whatever little nuisance this party could create for him as a whole.

*GRAAAH!!!*

But Viktor suddenly stopped in his tracks upon hearing a barbaric roar that boomed across the entire region. Brono and his party felt goosebumps on their skin just by hearing that crude roar.

Their eyes widened in horror when they guessed from whom this roar was coming.

They had once heard this roar before, but at that time, they were able to run away before running into this monster.

"I can't believe it…why would it…oh shit…the odic circle!" Brono realized how this monster was able to find them. After Pobi and Pubo's firebombs had exploded, they got exposed, and this monster must have caught wind of their presence.

*Kraaa!!*

*Kraaa!!*

But what was even more despairing was the largely guttural shouts that accompanied right after this roar. Based on these sounds, it seems as if at least dozens of minions of this large monster were accompanying it.

Viktor narrowed his brows upon hearing these shouts and battle cries since they seemed similar to the green little fuckers named goblins whom Brono and his party had fought off.

Since it was already night time he was able to see through the darkness only to see a large humanoid creature, at least three meters tall, emerging from within the tall trees with a big crude club in its hand with spikes on it.

'A monster goblin?' This was the first thought that flashed in Viktor's mind when he saw this huge dark green monster with a pointy hooked nose, murky reddish eyes, and big teeth that were sticking out of its mouth.

But despite its crude appearance, it was donning a shiny black armor on its huge body, which Viktor thought it must have stolen from some adventurers. Still, how could one find armors this big? Did he personally ask someone to forge it for him?

Viktor could only wonder.

However, unlike the cool-headed Viktor, Brono and his party were feeling jittery all over their body since they felt like their situation was no different from jumping into the fire from the frying pan.

It was not for nothing they were worried. After all, this big gluttonous monster was none other than the Goblin King, that was said to rule a considerable region of the Blackmere Forest.

Everybody knew where it usually rested, and thus the adventurers who were not dumb would do their best to avoid going in that direction since people had lost count of how many adventurers had died to the Goblin King.

The reason the Goblin King was really dangerous was that it had the ability to not only call upon its dozens of minions to fight for it but also because it was hard to make a dent in its skin.

Unless someone was carrying a mighty weapon, one could forget about making it bleed, let alone defeat it.

And now, not only did they lose all their valuables and treasures to protect themselves, they were completely surrounded by these green monsters.

Verona was literally feeling her skin crawling after seeing all the lustful gazes of the goblins landing on her. She had already heard and seen what happened to certain unfortunate women who got taken by the goblins, and the last thing she wanted was to end up like them.

As for the three men, Brono and the twins found it hard to even swallow their saliva since they knew these green fuckers loved to torture adventurers to death and wouldn't even give them a clean death.

That was why there was a common saying among the adventurers, 'It was better to kill yourself than end up in the hands of a goblin.'

Viktor quickly backtracked and grabbed Seraphina's hand as he said, "Let's wait for now."

"Are you going to fight it? This creature is not weak," Seraphina asked with her lips firmly pressed together.

"I will have to anyway, and we can't risk you exposing your identity until we get your fruit. We are surrounded for now, but the goblins wouldn't target us until they take care of the adventurers since they consider us a threat. Also, it would be a waste to leave behind all this loot," Viktor said as his eyes gleamed. He was particularly interested to know if there were any other interesting treasures like the white flute Brono used on the Sirens.

Seraphina was about to say something, but then she stopped herself. She let out a low sigh as she looked at Brono and his party, knowing what their fate was going to be.

The two sirens who were still trapped in the water tanks were now stuck in the middle of this situation. But of course, the goblins had their lusty eyes on them as well. If they were alone, they wouldn't dare to even come near any of the sirens, but with their great Goblin King around, what did they have to worry about?

The Goblin King lazily looked around and even swept its gaze past Brono and his party as if it was not really bothered about them.

Instead, its eyes shone upon catching sight of two extremely beautiful sirens lying in the water tanks.

It had never tasted a siren and never dared to since not even it could approach any one of them without getting hypnotized. But now that two of them were already trapped wasn't it the same as getting them served on a platter?

However, it then looked at the opposite end, where it saw two demons of the rabbit race hiding behind a tree. It ignored the male one but instead its eyes shone with a fervid glint upon seeing such a tasty figure timidly hiding behind the male. Surely, its lieutenant didn't lie about seeing a top-tier rabbit beauty in this area and that was why it even set out in search of her in the first place. Surely, it had to see why its lieutenant was bragging so much about her beauty.

Viktor realized that this monstrous green thing already had its eye on Seraphina, making him wonder if it came here in search for her.

*GRAHH!!* The Goblin King let out a roar, ordering its minions to get rid of the adventurers as fast as possible. It couldn't wait to round up all the loot and girls and enjoy its time.

"Fuck! Get into formation!" Brono shouted with a grave expression as his party quickly reacted.
