Chapter 14 Goblin Extermination (2)

Kurono!

Lily, its dangerous so get back a little.

Goblins were already an agile race like monkeys but that one jumped threateningly towards me surpassing it.

Rifle!

I rapid-fired my Rifle towards the goblin in the air but with unnatural movements it deflected most of them with that big hatchet.

Even though some hit its body, as if it didnt feel pain, it kept on swinging the hatchet with unchanged speed.

This is the type thatll keep on coming until I completely destroy it. The distance between me and the landed goblin was about 3 meters.

Now that it was in front of me, I could clearly sense an ominous energy what could only be described as the [curse].

Automatic Fencing

To block the approaching enemy I controlled the blackened sticks that were behind me. If my opponent was a normal weapon I could have blocked it with just these wooden sticks.

gyoaah!!!

In front of the cursed hatched, they were easily split in two.

The 4 sticks were somehow able to attack the goblin but it didnt seem like it was taking any damage. While it was fighting with the sticks, I fired Rifle towards it but with superhuman reactions it either deflected or evaded it. In 10 seconds it had cut the sticks apart and then rushed towards me in a straight line.

Kuh, shield!!

The deployed shield somehow prevented my head from being split apart like a bamboo.

Even my strongest shield that wouldnt crack with my own Anti-material attack was cut till halfway. This will definitely break in the next attack.

Buckshot.

But, Im not going to let that happen.

Taking my Buckshot at close range, the goblin was blown away. Many bullets should have pierced through him but maybe due to the weapon strengthening the body as well; it was still in good health.

In mid air, it fixed its posture like a cat, and the blood stained goblin lightly landed on the ground.

The moment it took a step towards me to try and cut me again, the pieces of the broken black stick started coiling around its leg.

gii!?

It must have thought that the sticks have become useless after being cut apart, but Automatic Fencing wont be stopped just by being split into 2 or 3 pieces.

It didnt really have any effect against Sariel, but against the goblin corrupted by the weapon, it was effective.

With its leg caught, the goblin fell face first but it still didnt let go of the weapon in its hand.

Anti-material.

Up till now the goblin had been jumping around, but due to it falling, I could precisely aim this time. And in that position it was impossible to swing that hatchet either, even a cursed weapon could not ignore the structure of its body. The fired bullet pierced through its strengthened arm and blew it away completely. The hand along with the weapon fell to the ground.

Rifle.

At the same moment, the Rifle fired hit directly at its forehead and blood and brains burst out.

phew, man close-combat really is scary.

Without a user, the cursed weapon could no longer show its effects.

Wait, it wont fly by itself and try cutting me right? Is what I thought, but the blackish aura coming from that hatchet seems to have finally calmed down.

For the time being I should recover it.

I dont want to fight another goblin who picked it up and went mad again.

Kurono stop! Its dangerous!

Lily who was standing quietly behind me as I asked raised her voice when she saw me coming close to the hatchet. Well, I am trying to touch a cursed weapon, its normal to try and stop me.

aa, itll probably be fine Lily.

I without any hesitation touched the handle, at that moment.

-hatekilllovedie

ooh, well this is a nostalgic feeling..

It was similar to thoughts being forcefully put in my mind as done by the ring of restraint. The thoughts of love and hate entered my mind giving me a chill.

Youre being noisy, be quiet!-Blackening!!

Similar to when the goblin held it, blackish aura started to come out of the hatchet but my much darker magical energy overcame it.

AS I thought, this big hatchet has black magical energy inside of it similar to mine but the quantity inside me is far above it.

I dont know what kind of malice it possesses but against an overwhelming difference of magical energy, it wont be able to make me go mad and control me as the goblin. Basically, my compatibility with the hatchet was good.

Ku, Kurono?

See, I told you itll be fine.

Hahahaha while laughing I played and swung it around my hand like a pen.

I didnt have such technique in me but due to probably the effect of coming in contact with the weapon, I felt as if the weapon was like a part of me and use it with maximum skill.

The curse?

Hmm, I cant hear the hateful voices anymore. But, Lily shouldnt touch it. The only reason I can is because my compatibility was high.

Is that so?

Yes.

I see.

With the cursed hatchet in my hand, after making sure that I showed no change in presence, Lily finally showed a smile. But, isnt this scene of us smiling like this while surrounded by a mountain of goblin corpses a bit too surreal?

Oh I almost forgot! There were goblins remaining.

Before I realized, the goblins that hadnt lost their fighting spirit were slowly surrounding me.

It seems they have finally become a bit more vigilant, they have shifted their strategy to slowly close the distance while moving on all sides. I can easily fight without any problems but itll be dangerous to let Lily also become surrounded along with me.

Lily, quickly

Move back, as I tried to say that, I heard the sound of something flying towards us.

Shit, they fired a bow.

As I looked up, numerous arrows were coming down towards us as if raining.

Will I be able to deflect them all with buckshot? Even if not, then with the help of the hatchet I will be able to defend my own body mostly.

In any case, due to the shield being partially destroyed previously I wont be able to reconstruct the shield in time.

For now, I should hold Lily and protect her from-

nn!!

Huh?

The moment I thought of holding Lily who was standing on the ground, I realized she was already on my shoulder. Sticking both her hands towards the front, with a nn Lily sound closed her eyes and groaned.

eeei!!!

With Lilys cute shout, her faintly glittering white body started shining more strongly than ever.

Uooh, too bright!?

The next moment, numerous beams of light were released from Lilys hands.

What? Its a beam!? Is that a beam!?

The numerous beams of light released by Lily flew towards the incoming arrows while leaving a trail behind it. With a speed much faster than the arrows, one beam of Lilys light destroyed multiple arrows.

Could it be that its automatically tracking them?

Moreover, the targets are arrows which are pretty fast too.

As I muttered that, the rain of arrows had been completely destroyed in mid-air. The light that had counter-attacked had also disappeared.

.amazing.

Its a highly efficient magic that makes my Rifle or buckshot look like toys. Amazing, can fairies all use such level of magic? Then it makes sense that goblins wont be much of an opponent.

ehehe

Receiving my respectful gaze, Lily became shy while sitting on my shoulder. Her face is close, her cuteness is also 3 times greater!

ha!

I cant calm down just yet; Im still in a battle. The goblins have come close enough to be able to slash at me after one step.

Ill have to also show my cool part it seems.

I gently lowered Lily back to the ground. Holding the hatchet in my right hand, I start loading in my left hand.

Lily, I wont let the spear users come any closer but they might shoot the arrows again so can I leave that to you?

I have no reason to doubt Lilys abilities any longer and at this point it wou
