After fifteen minutes of uneventful journey, Raizel finally reached his second goblin village. They reached the village premises rather quickly as the area around the pond was pretty much devoid of monsters. Raizel figured that Poison Geckos were responsible for this."Hob-goblins" Raizel mutters upon seeing two big green-skinned monsters inside the village. This village wasn"t all that different than the Old Greeny"s village only there are three hob-goblins here.
In normal cases, Hob-goblins are the immediate evolved form of goblins. They are humanoid monsters who have a slight increase in all their stats with a better physique. But in a true goblin"s hierarchy there no such creature. Evolving into a hob-goblin is the same as abandoning the goblin heritage and wholly accepting the Impish one.
Hob-goblins may increment the physical power but at the cost of intelligence. Meaning the once smart race member would truly become nothing more than a mindless beast. With every evolution after the hob-goblin, more of the soul"s aspects will be terminated.
The hob-goblins weren"t a true racial evolution rather a de-evolution. When a species go through racial evolution their entire life-signature changes. But in hob-goblins, the signs stay the same as goblins only a little more vigorous.
Raizel concluded this to be the main reason why his spell didn"t detect them.
"Sixteen goblins, three hob-goblins, and four humans. This should be easy. A little bigger ant is still an ant.
Three will be perfect dummies to test my sword aura. I don"t need idiots under my rule. These hob-goblins, they"ll only be a nuisance as they grow further. But they"ll make a fine show of power."
Raizel thought as he directed walked towards the village without any plan, there is no need to plan. Smashing them already seems to be the best plan here.
"h.e.l.lO, FELLAS!!!!. HOW"S IT GOING?" Raizel yells in goblin language with an aura enhanced voice. His voice spread throughout the village alerting all the goblins, making them come out of their houses.
"Puny goblin...swords...give or we smash you. Hehe." A hob-goblin said to Raizel. He swings the mace in his hands lightly with a wicked smile. It was from the hob-goblins point of view, all the normal goblins were their slaves as well.
"Hoho, you"re gonna still from me. Let"s see if you have what it takes to utter such words." Raizel says. Seeing the crowd of goblins behind the three hob-goblins, Raizel smirked knowing the audience is here.
"Come" pointing his sword at him, Raizel invites the idiotic hob-goblins to fight.
"Urrrh!!" Screaming like a mad sod, the hob-goblins charges at Raizel, swinging his mace intending to kill him with a single strike. But Raizel hops sideways evading the strike easily.
"URRRHH!!!"
The hob-goblin, seeing that it missed strikes continuously while screaming louder. All his attacks seemed crude and wasteful to Raizel. Just using brute force mindlessly would not get anywhere and would not teach him anything at all.
"Useless. These brutes can"t even be training dummies, which means you are of no use to me."
"Therefore, die." Raizel thought.
*Swing*
*Thud*
Silence preceded the entire atmosphere, all the goblins standing behind the other two hob-goblins were stunned by the scene that played before them. With a single slash of his sword, the newcomer goblin had beheaded of their leaders; he beheaded an evolved goblin.
The audience was in a total stupor, not knowing what was going on and Raizel didn"t give them the chance to recover.
This hand moved once more...
*Swing*
*Swing*
*Thud*
*Thud*
Two arcs of condensed aura shot out of his blade, like rays of light and swiftly sliced apart the remaining two hob-goblins like a paper sheet.
Blood rolled on the ground from the three corpses-- dyed red. The smell of fear and anxiety tensed all. Every goblin in the crowd was already trembling at this gruesome display.
"All of you shall be my subordinates from now on.
Submit to me and life
Or
Oppose me and perish here along with your dead leaders."
Raizel"s voice tone was small but the quiet atmosphere and tension made everyone hear his words with utmost importance, their lives depended on it.
"We greet the chief." All the goblin shout out, kowtowing before Raizel.
[Sixteen beings have offered fealty to you. Do you wish to commence the servitude program?
Cost: 160 Myriad Points
Yes/No]
"Commence"
[Installing Servitude Program...]
The goblins froze in their places and lost consciousness. Meanwhile, Raizel made his way towards a tree at the center of the village. There was a naked teenage human girl bound with the tree. Both her hands were bound to the back of the tree with a fat rope, while her legs were suspended in the air, knees bound to the branches of the tree with another long rope exposing her p.u.s.s.y completely.
The girl had purple bruises all over her petty body, her eyes held only absolute despair in them. It was as if everything in this world had no meaning and only death was true. Raizel made closed in on the girl.
"Such a pitiful creature. Raped, abused and forced to live on. Life is nothing more than h.e.l.l to her. Those eyes, they hold absolutely despair in them.
In this world, only death remains true." Raizel says to himself.
Raizel commands the two wolves. In a minute, the two wolves appear behind Raizel. Without looking back, he points his finger at the largest hut and commands again...
The wolves run to the largest hut which probably belonged to the hob-goblins and in two minutes all four human women were gathered on the base of the tree. The other three women were in even worse states than the teenage girl.
Their faces were completely disfigured, their v.a.g.i.n.a expanded and bruised in an unnatural way. Scars of horrifying abuse were visible on every part of their body. Blackened bruises, broken bones, large chunks of missing hair and wounded b.r.e.a.s.t.s with vicious bite marks on them.
"Their spirits are broken."
Raizel thought, gazing at this horrid exhibition. Raizel sends his aeon strands into the four female humans in order to communicate with them telepathically.
