Chapter 235 : The Goblins in Trouble
Chapter 235: The Goblins in Trouble
The fairies were a race that loved and hated clearly. They resisted strangers intruding into their lives and territories, but once they recognized you, they would show you great enthusiasm.
Along the way, these adorable little beings flew energetically at the very front of the group. Their small figures weaved flexibly among the trees, guiding the team along an easy path to walk on, as if they would never tire.
Although they had not known each other for long, Gauss still decided to immediately cast a layer of protection, 【Gauss Force Field】, upon the four fairy guides.
Even though there were four of them, the magical energy consumed was not much.

This was because the energy consumption of this protective spell was closely related to the size of the target it was cast upon.
The fairies’ bodies were barely larger than a palm, so naturally, it did not require much energy.

However, Gauss felt that the protection on these little ones would probably not come into use.
Everything had two sides. When the gods closed a door for you, they also opened a window. Their small size made the fairies weaker in frontal combat compared to other beings, but it also granted them the trait of being difficult to hit. Coupled with their agile flight, enemies found it greatly difficult to land an attack on them.
So, when Gauss said he would cast protective magic on them—
The four little ones all shook their heads firmly, indicating they did not need it, and that they did not want Gauss to waste his magic power.
W е̇ b n о v̊ē l Е̌ n̈u ṁ ӓ
But Gauss still decided to cast the protection.
Whether it was needed or not was one matter. Whether it was there or not was another. There was no reason for the rest of the party to have protection while a small handful did not, for the cost of a mere sliver of magical energy.
As his magic released from the wand’s tip, a nearly invisible, transparent barrier, glowing faintly with magical light, enveloped the little ones like the gentlest of bubbles.
「Thank you, big guy, but you wasted your magic a little. Good steel should be used on the blade’s edge.」 The warrior named Thistle, the leader of the fairy squad, bowed to Gauss in thanks.

「I have plenty of magic, don’t worry. By the time I breathe, it’ll be restored.」
With the guidance of the local fairy guides, the party moved swiftly through the forest.

Since it was unclear which Goblins were the targets Gauss needed to find, and because he requested it himself, the fairies planned to take them past Goblin settlements they knew along the way.
「Take a look, are these the ones you’re looking for?」
The fairy pointed through the gaps in the leaves to a clearing.
Even from a distance, the lingering stench of Goblins could be smelled.
A dozen Goblins were lazily going about their “daily” life.
Several Goblins were tending to a campfire built from rough stones in the middle of the camp, throwing various foods into a clay cauldron.

Others were fighting over a bloodstained rabbit hide, clawing each other with sharp nails until a stronger one stomped another’s head and snatched the skin away. Without minding the filth, it tied the bloody hide to its head, grinning in satisfaction.
「They shouldn’t be.」 Gauss shook his head, though a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
The Goblins that the fairies pointed out all carried crude wooden weapons. Aside from animal skins and leaves around their waists, they had no protection at all.
Such ragged appearances were clearly unrelated to their current mission target.
They were just a group of ordinary wild Goblins, no different from the many tribes Gauss had exterminated before.
「Recently, there have been more and more Green-skin pests like these in the forest.」 The fairy sighed.
W e b́n о̃ v̆ еl̈ Е ṅ um̄а_
As “locals” of the forest, they could most directly sense the changes happening there.
To powerful monsters, Goblins were of little importance, but for ordinary beasts—especially herbivores—they often became victims.

If it were normal predation, the fairies would not resent it, as that was simply nature. But Goblins were not normal predators. As their numbers grew, the surrounding ecosystem often suffered devastating blows. Merely their practice of abducting females as breeding machines, then slaughtering them afterward for food, was enough to make fairies—who favored kind beings—feel instinctive disgust.
Thus, the fairies had long developed the habit of collecting information on Goblins and would regularly form battle-capable squads to hunt down their tribes.
This time, Thistle, Dandelion, Glowdew, and Moss—who accompanied Gauss—were all among the elites of such extermination squads.
Though small in size, ordinary Goblins had almost no power to resist them.
W еb n̄ о̌ v̄ e l̈_ Еn̈ ũ m̀_а̀
These few were among the rare elite individuals born from hundreds or even thousands of fairies.
After Gauss confirmed he would attack the Goblins ahead, the four little ones raised their weapons eagerly, ready to fly into battle. But before they even moved—
Gauss was already in action.
As the wand in his hand lit up, six 【Magic Missiles】 condensed in the air before him. Once they locked on, the deep-blue orbs shot forward like comets, striking precisely at the largest Goblins in the group.

「Boom! Boom! Boom!」
A series of terrifying explosions erupted.
Wёbnо̆v̂ е́ l̃ Ё ň u m̊ ӓ
The targeted Goblins, along with those nearby, were blown away by the shockwaves.
In just one round, more than half the Goblins were annihilated.
The remaining ones on the outskirts were dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what had just happened.
A suffocating aura of fear instantly filled the air, chilling their limbs and paralyzing them from moving.
Dark yellow urine trickled down from the filthy rags and leaves covering their loins, soaking into the soil beneath them.
They instinctively turned toward the source of that terrifying aura. But the next moment, an expanding blue glow completely filled their vision.

As a scorching sensation exploded over their bodies, they lost consciousness instantly.
Gauss’s two volleys of 【Magic Missiles】 swept the field, sending the Goblins to the afterlife before they even caught sight of him.
When the magical ripples subsided, the clearing was a scene of devastation.
The Goblins’ deaths were gruesome beyond words.
Their bodies were nearly unrecognizable.
Charred fragments, shattered bones, blood, and organs splattered everywhere, staining the grass and tree trunks with filthy dark red.
E nǔṁa. ì d̆
Gauss had just tested the effect of 【Magic Missile】 after upgrading it.
As it turned out, its power had nearly doubled, and the volley increased from five to six. Gauss even felt that with some effort, a seven-shot volley would not be difficult.

Forget about ordinary Goblins—even Tier 1 or Tier 2 Elite Goblins could not withstand an attack of this level.
「Gr… Green-skin pests… are they all dead already?」
The four fairies were dumbstruck, their heads buzzing.
As Gauss looked at the fairies, who seemed frozen like statues, he silently reflected on whether he had been too careless in creating such a bloody scene.
Ẅ ӗ b̂ñǒ_v̂ е l̀ Е̌ǹ u m̂а̄
The fairies suddenly turned quickly, flew before him, and exclaimed excitedly.
「You’re amazing, big guy.」
「With just one boom, those Green-skin pests were all wiped out.」
「Can you teach me? I want to kill Green-skins like that too.」
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Well…
Looking at the excited fairies, Gauss realized that he had been overthinking.
Ẇ ẽ bñӧ v̀ е́ ľ Е̃ n̄ů m а
Unlike Pixies, many fairies were tough and combative warriors. Facing their enemies, they would not feel much pity.
「Sorry, little ones, I can’t teach you this kind of magic.」
「What a pity…」
「But big guy, if you’re this strong, doesn’t that make us useless?」 The fairies, realizing it, quickly fell into disappointment again. They lowered their heads, staring at the weapons in their hands, with the sense that their skills had nowhere to be used.
「You guiding me to find them is the greatest help.」 Gauss comforted the little ones.
He then walked toward the clearing of the camp, where strands of Goblin spirits gathered toward his body.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Yes.
In the past two days, after his Clay Magic proficiency broke through to Lv4, he no longer needed to kill corresponding creatures with the magic itself to collect their spirits.
As long as it was something he killed—no matter the method—he only had to channel the magical energy of Clay Magic afterward, and he could complete the collection.
Sensing that his Goblin soul body had grown stronger again, Gauss nodded in satisfaction.
「Gauss, your Magic Missile has become stronger again.」 Arya exclaimed.
The change in power was very obvious, especially since she was an old veteran. Of course, she was very familiar with this spell that Gauss used most often.

「I just mastered upcasting it.」 Gauss said softly. 「Next time, I’ll hold back. Against weak enemies like these, I won’t upcast it.」
Making things so bloody every time was not a pleasant sight.

Shadow had no intention of acting the entire time.
A small group of Goblins was nowhere near enough to stir her fighting spirit.
She only blinked, watching Gauss and the wand in his hand, tilting her head as she fell into thoughtful confusion.
Time passed quickly.

Once the fairies realized how thick Gauss’s thigh was to cling onto, they decisively led him to sweep through Goblin nests in the forest one by one.
Although Gauss’s current commission was to investigate and eliminate the Goblin tribes affiliated with the Black Fang Tribe, he was in no rush.
Because for him, striking down Goblins was already a high priority.
And—

「Monster Kill Count: 3859」
In just a day or two, he had killed nearly two hundred more Goblins.

The next milestone reward was drawing closer and closer.
If possible, he hoped to obtain the reward and breakthrough before officially facing the commission target.
In fact, he had a hunch that the farthest Goblin tribe the fairies mentioned—the one mining minerals—might be related to the target of his commission.
But since the reward was already within reach, there was no reason to ignore it and stubbornly push the main objective.
When possible, Gauss preferred not to stage a dramatic last-minute breakthrough.
The safest and most reliable approach was to honestly secure the reward first and put it in his pocket.

Even if a stat increase during battle could refresh his body and relieve some fatigue, there was no need to rely on that.
One had to know that stat increases and other rewards required time to be digested.
That was also a kind of planning for growth.
Gauss preferred breaking through during peaceful daily life rather than in battle—it was more controlled.
「The Green-skin pests are all dead again.」
The fairies clapped their hands, smiling brightly.

Every group of Goblins they hated so much that perished was great news for them.
「Are there more Goblins nearby?」

Gauss asked, watching the delighted fairies.
He had to admit, having locals guide them was invaluable.
Many Goblins hid in caves or caverns. Without these forest natives, it would have been nearly impossible for them to find them alone.
As he killed more Goblins, Gauss felt his racial talents 【Energy Storage Gland】 and 【Hardened Scales Bloodline】 improving as well.
E n̄ um а́
His energy scales grew more vivid, and his defense slightly stronger.
「Yes, big guy, there are.」
「Let me think.」
「Take your time.」 Gauss turned to look at his companions.

None of them objected to his plan of sweeping Goblins in the surrounding area.
Not even Shadow, the temporary member who had just joined the party.

However, as the days with Gauss’s party passed, Shadow’s inner confusion only deepened.
Especially in the past two days. She had only been following the group—in truth, it was Gauss alone silently slaughtering the Goblins. She herself had done nothing.
Yet she was shocked to find that her own strength seemed to have grown.
At first, when she noticed it, she thought it was an illusion.
Until a few days ago, when her archery suddenly broke through to a new level.
When her arrows could be imbued with the power of shadows, she realized—that feeling of growing stronger was not an illusion!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It truly existed!
That archery skill was something she had only recently learned, mainly as a backup combat method for situations where she could not conveniently use her shadow abilities.
Because of her high Tier 5 Class Rank, she learned archery extremely fast. In a very short time, she had reached a level ordinary people would find inconceivable. That pace was already astonishing, but in recent days, it had accelerated even more—like riding in a horse-drawn carriage rushing at breakneck speed.
【I also feel my strength growing stronger. It seems connected to Gauss. I told you, this isn’t an illusion.】
Sensing her thoughts, Shadow’s inner spirit, Shaid, spoke innocently.
【It all began the moment you joined this party.】

「Could it really be because of Gauss?」 Shadow wondered inwardly.
From the very start, when she had first met him, she could feel the mystery around Gauss—even greater than her own.

But as they spent more time together, she found that Gauss’s secrets far exceeded her imagination.
She couldn’t help but turn to look at Arya and Serandur.
No wonder both teammates listened to Gauss so obediently…
「It feels… it feels pretty good, actually.」
Е́ n̂_um̌ӑ
No one could refuse the feeling of constantly growing stronger.
She turned to gaze at Gauss’s back.
Not to mention, Gauss had a good personality. Even though she had hidden her shadow powers without telling him, he never forced her.
Moreover, that subtle sense of familiarity in him made her instinctively lower her guard toward an outsider.

【Friendly reminder, my master, you’re only a temporary member of this party. Once this commission ends, you’ll part ways with them.】 Shaid reminded unhelpfully.
「I know, you don’t need to remind me.」

【Your top priority should be figuring out how to stay. The food here is too good—I don’t want to leave.】
「I’m not as mercenary as you.」
【So, you’re leaving?】
「I didn’t say that.」
【Then what’s the point?】
「I need to unravel the mystery on my body… yes, that’s it.」 Shadow nodded, as if convincing herself.
