Chapter 203: Reinforcements
The thinking of the Blessed opponents was partially right. In order to summon this large amount of imps, Noah had spent much of his energy.
Something that had not been specified when the skill leveled up that Noah had found out when he summoned the first imp was that the "price" per summons had dropped quite a lot. As the amount of imps he could summon increased, the amount of energy he used to summon the imps decreased.
This was great news for him, since if the amount of energy used to summon the imps was still the same, the ability to level up would be almost useless since he wouldn"t even have enough energy to summon as many imps as the ability allowed.
But the Blessed Ones were right about one thing: after summoning another 20 imps Noah had run out of energy. This time he even prevented the imps from eating the meat of these humans, as he would use it to replenish his own energy and earn some stat points.
With that second wave of imps, the unicorn, and Lilith, Noah was confident in dealing with more opponents even though Jeffrey called for more reinforcements. As long as the amount was not so great, he still had confidence in dealing with them all.

Watching the battle from inside the car, Jeffrey was scoffing at these red goblins. As much as the lives of his employees were being thrown in the trash, he didn"t care; for him there was no one more important than himself. With more money he could easily hire more security guards, so these disposable parts dying to protect him was completely valid.
Seeing the battle of the thirty security guards against the twenty goblins, his smile only grew even more. These monsters did not care about their own lives, but as frightening as it is to deal with an enemy like this, he was not the one on the battlefield.
Of the thirty Blessed, ten had already died to kill fifteen of the goblins. There were only five more goblins alive; the victory was already in front of him.
This was until suddenly, one of the goblins did something that Jeffrey didn"t know was possible. The claws in his hand started to catch fire!
"What the f.u.c.k is that?! Why is that goblin"s claw on fire?! Watch out!" One of the leaders of the security guards shouted to a Rank E security guard, but the shout was too late. The Rank E security guard had nothing he could do and was cut deeply by that claw. Fortunately for him the cut was nowhere near fatal, only tearing through part of the man"s thigh.
"Aaaaaaaargggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" The man who was cut screamed as hard as if he were being eaten alive. No, for the other security guards that scream sounded worse than someone being eaten alive.
Unlike what the security guards imagined, that cut in a non-fatal place was actually much more effective than a cut through the throat, since shortly after the man started screaming, he desperately started to beg some of his companions to kill him and make the pain stop.
That death request greatly destabilized the morals of the other Blessed guards, who, after seeing their partner"s despair, began to fear that goblin with its fiery claws.
"s.h.i.t... what the h.e.l.l is that fire?! Watch out for that goblin! Deal with the others first; leave that problem for last. We"ll go together and deal with it together!" Another leader of the security guards shouted an order that everyone followed, n.o.body wanted to face that red goblins head on, n.o.body to be in the place of that security man who was screaming begging for mercy.
When one of the security guards was about to cut one of the other goblins in half, strangely that goblin burst into flames, which greatly scared that security guard and made him jump back, afraid of being hit by that flame and suffering like the other security guard who was screaming desperately until now while rolling on the floor, trying to put out that evil fire that burned him slowly but painfully.
But while he believed that the exploding goblins had died, on the other side of the battlefield another similar explosion happened behind one of the security guards, the Blessed Rank D. The goblin emerged from the explosion and used his sharp claws to open a big cut in the back of the man"s neck.
That leader managed to scream, since his throat was leaking so much blood that he started to drown himself while falling on the ground and trying to prevent the blood from spilling out with his hands.
If it weren"t for the brilliant explosion of fire that happened when that goblin appeared, no one would have realized that their leader had died.
At that point there were four living imps out of the five that were left after the initial clash, while among the fifteen Blessed survivors, only eleven remained. Since no one had the courage to deal with the "goblin with the claws of fire", he was like a wolf in a chicken coop, only killing the human who came within his reach with extreme ease.
Jeffrey was inside his luxury car watching everything that was going on, and part of his confidence that he would survive disappeared. At this point, he was starting to worry again if he would be able to stay alive until the rest of the reinforcements arrived.
"d.a.m.n, d.a.m.n, d.a.m.n! why are they taking so long? These idiots apparently won"t even be able to kill these remaining goblins, so I"m going to be the next victim..." Jeffrey said to himself uneasily.
In a minute the battle was over. At that point only two goblins had survived. One of them was the goblin with the claws that could catch fire, while the other was a strange goblin that could also control the fire. But unlike the first goblin, this one used the fire to heal itself, causing himself after each battle to practically return to peak state.
These two goblins alone were responsible for killing most of the security guards on his team. Fortunately that goblin that exploded and teleported had only managed to do this once. Apparently he didn"t have enough energy to do it again, otherwise this battle would have ended even faster.
"These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds were unable to buy enough time for reinforcements to arrive... Holy s.h.i.t..." Jeffrey cursed in the car that had no more wheels with which he could try to escape.
With his gaze fixed on the unicorn, Jeffrey was hoping it wouldn"t advance and let the reinforcements arrive. He was sure that with forty more security guards they would be able to deal with these two troublesome goblins and together kill that unicorn.
But to Jeffrey"s dismay, the unicorn took the first step forward since it had appeared.
"s.h.i.t, s.h.i.t, s.h.i.t, don"t kill me..." Jeffrey was pleading as he looked at the unicorn, having completely lost the arrogance he had shown previously.
But to Jeffrey"s delight, the unicorn for the first time looked away from him and looked at the pile of corpses. Slowly he walked towards where the Blessed bodies were, and a strange ball of fire appeared from above him.
For a fraction of a second Jeffrey swore he could see a hand there, but he soon dismissed that possibility.
As it was very dark in the place, Jeffrey couldn"t see Noah on top of the unicorn, even with the creature"s mane shining brightly because of the fire. So when he saw the fireball appear from a dark place on top of the unicorn, he thought it was some kind of power from the unicorn that was just trying to end that corpse as some kind of monster instinct.
"Yes! Idiot, you"re just giving me more time! In a few seconds my backup will arrive and you"ll be f.u.c.ked! Hehehe." Jeffrey laughed in the car, happy that this unicorn was stupid enough not to kill him quickly. "Do you think you can play with me like I"m a prey and that you are invincible? I want to see if you have enough strength to handle another round of forty Blessed Ones willing to lay down their lives for me!"
Within seconds, when the last corpse had finished burning, five more vans crossed the circle of fire around the site and quickly another forty men descended from the vans, looking at the unicorn with hostility.
During their approach here, Jeffrey had already warned them that the unicorn was weakened, but that at most he could summon another twenty goblins, and that among the twenty goblins, there were three extremely problematic goblins that they should take care of last. He did, however, omit that the flames of the fire claws goblin were extremely painful, since he did not want them to give up on rescuing him.
With that warning in mind, the forty security guards went into formation and prepared themselves for a major battle. They had a lot of confidence in dealing with this monster. With only fifteen Blessed they were able to clean up Fortresses, but with a force of forty Blessed there was nothing that could scare them.
And just as they guessed, a large red pentagram appeared on top of the unicorn which quickly descended to the ground, and from within each of the pentagrams it split into, a small red goblin appeared.
As with the other times, goblins had frantic expressions on their faces, as if they were controlling themselves not to run up to humans and kill them.
Jeffrey already saw victory in front of him. In the previous fight there were thirty Blessed against twenty goblins and the goblins barely won. This time he had forty Blessed against the same twenty goblins; their chances of victory were much greater.
Meanwhile Noah watched these battle calmly sitting on the unicorn.
