Chapter 25: Eleanor
[Sophia's POV]
I started to get bored inside this hole honestly, though I have an amazing mental power so I shooed it away, if I don't have the guts, how can I talk with a literal god and even think of smacking him right in the head? Anyway, even though this place is boring, I find the fight... or beat down now quite entertaining.
There is an isekai protagonist who has this kind of opponent who is only good when they are winning but can't contain their composure when the advantage and tide of the fight are reversed against them.
_I wonder how did they not turn into a sadist... This is just enjoyable..._
[Hey now, don't get all sadistic to me the moment I fixed myself.]
Will you shut the fuck up already?
I made a blob out of magic and grabbed on it whilst making orbs of water outside as I saw the wolf charge straight into the water clone I made, the water clone is not perfect as he said, it's just a giant blob of water in a barely humanoid shape obscured with dust to look like me, it does not even have a mouth, nose or ears while barely replicating my white colored robe.
Maybe because of his mental strain, the Wolf King(LOL) did not notice it. I sneered once again as I used the blob of water in my hand as a microphone.
"Hey now, don't whimper like you are already on your deathbed. I did not see you bathe in your blood yet after all."
I ended with a sinister laugh as I, with Philo's eyes saw the visible shudder on the whole body of the Wolf King (LOL), as loud barks started to come out of his mouth. Usually, a wolf will immediately escape out of the danger's vicinity, but it seems like he is prideful enough not to do that.
But still, a wolf is a wolf after all and thus he acted like how a wolf should act.
"Come out! If you proclaim yourself as a hero, then face me alone!"
The wolf taunted me as I replied, closing my mouth a little towards the blob in my little hands.
"I did not proclaim that I am anything and think about it, if I proclaim myself as a hero, will you be whimpering in fright because of me right now?"
With a little chuckle in the end, I replied causing the wolf to once again whimper a little and growl once again to cover his fright.
"Shut up you coward! Shut up and pay your dew respect towards my mighty self and let me escape! I shall forget this grudge of mine towards you and never bother you again."
I went silent for a second as a laugh erupted inside the space I made inside underground.
"GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA! PFFT! BWAHAHAHAHA! OW! OW! MY SIDE HURTS... KUFFF! BWAHAHAHAHZA! HAHAHAH... HA..."
I can see the confusion in the eyes of the Wolf King as his obvious and pitiful attempt to impose his laughable authority on me failed horribly to the point of me laughing my ass out.
"Man... You are something huh?"
With a slight "fufu" I composed myself as much as I could and continued whilst transmitting a mental command towards Philo.
"Let me translate it for you: I am scared shitless right now so please let me go already and I will promise from the bottom of my heart that I will not make myself be seen by you again."
Philo responded to my command with a sneer and a nod as he started to encircle the wolf king his expression went immediately blank, Philo when ordered to let go a while earlier immediately hid, and now had become the perfect ambush person.
"Well, I might consider it, but you have to say "Please~" while having puppy eyes, come on do it do it!"
I chided the wolf who immediately shouted with anger, his fear vanished and was replaced by it like just goblins who reached their brain's maximum capacity.
"YOU BASTARD! I AM NOT SCARED I AM NOT! I AM NOT! GRAAAAH!"
His eyes already got docile became aggressive once again and dug into the ground, good thing his position is far away from the place I am positioned currently, I can't make the hole I am in right now move, he might know that if he is still thinking straight because of my loud ass laughter earlier, but because he is shrouded by the thick fogs of fear and pride, he just decided to dig in a reckless abandon, now you should know that fire can be extinguished using sand or soil, and it's more effective in some ways because water causes fire to emit more smoke while soil does not.
My point is, what will happen if a fire-based monster decided to dig the ground? Damage because of the earth is visible in the eyes of the wolf as it let out pained tears whilst his claw is also bleeding, this world is so amazing as it shows that no matter how hard your claws are if you touched something that counterbalances your nature, it will cause injuries.
I looked at the futile actions of the wolf and ordered Philo.
Philo attack him again, now!
Philo then using [Sprint] went and dashed making a grey flash of lights as he activated [Ram] and went right for the head. The wolf immediately noticed his presence and growled with his frenzied and desperate eyes.
"YOU MIDGET! I GOT ENOUGH OF YOU!"
He then bit Philo in the crosswise half of his body with his large maws, because Philo is using a skill, the ramming attack he is about to unleash ravaged and damaged the insides of the wolf's mouth.
Some of the wolf's teeth fell out as blood came leaking out of the gaps made by the absence of some of his teeth.
"Grrk...!"
The wolf King made a grunting sound as I closed my eyes damn these maws of that mutt are fucking gross. Philo suddenly saw a squirming red-colored flesh smeared in crimson-colored blood and used [Strong Bite] on it, his fangs, though smaller but not less powerful compared to the wolf's embedded into the tongue of the wolf who is still trying to kill my subordinate.
"GRAAGH!"
The wolf let out another whimpering cry as he stuck out his tongue immediately after he spat out the body of Philo who is now just in half, my vision suddenly went far beyond the fight scene, signifying that the head was cut off by the sudden unexpected retaliation of the cowardly king.
The wolf then spat out bright red colored flames that immediately soared up high, targeting the body of Philo who is still in the air, this attack will surely make the atoms of Philo vanish in an instant, but because a head was left out of the scene beforehand, I am not worried about it. After all, my bunny can heal in the fastest time possible.
"GRAAAAAAAHH!"
A growl once again was heard from him looking for me with his all greem eyes, ignoring the charred dark matter that came out of the attack and started to once again dig with ferocious last ditch energy. But then, suddenly numerous tentacles made of sand that now had also numerous suction cups emerged out of the soil and clung to the body of the wolf.
"GRAAGH!? What is this time?"
He questioned but the tentacles did not stop and fully covered his furry body, ignoring his fur and clinging directly to his flesh caused the mutt to panic and wagged his whole body in reckless abandon as I commanded the tentacled to drag down the body of the wolf.
The contradicting forces of me making my sand tentacles pull down and the wolf pulling up caused severe tearing damage to the wolf's body as his whole body gushed out with enormous quantities of blood which he ignored in desperation to get out of his frightening situation and immediately retreat, I make the cups in the tentacles suck harder and the wolf also pulled harder, his effort gradually paid off as he successfully pulled out his body from the Kraken I made in the sand.
However, of course, I did not make him go unscathed, bis fur thag first had a perfect crimson color is now shredded off and accompanies some of his flesh lying on the ground, several holes are visible on his body flowing with blood as whimpers of now unconcealed despair is coming out from the bottom of the pitiful king's body.
"P-please let me go already... I promise... I promise I won't bother you again... Please I'm scared... Sniff... Sniff..."
In between pitiful whimpers, he pleaded while just standing in his position with pure willpower alone. I replied.
"Oh, you are? You do?"
With a grin that of course, he cannot see, I responded causing the tone of his voice to have some hope to it...
"Really! Its... It's true... Why is there water forming into weapons..."
Just to once again fall into a deeper pit of despair.
"YOU DO!? BEFORE YOU SAY THAT ASK ME IF I FUCKING CARE OKAY!?"
I then immediately gestured the hundreds of water shaped into weapons to descend at their top speed into the fucking mutt.
"Wait! Wait! If... If you killed me those monkeys will surely retaliate! Graaaa!"
He howled a loud one but immediately started to whimper as the first water-shaped sword punctured his back, and then the spear, the halberd, and numerous other weapons stabbed into him. His cry resounded into the whole forest before it died out and only exploding sounds of me venting my anger into the corpse of the wolf king are audible.
The weapons did not stop descending until only a pool of mushy blood with numerous broken bones can be seen.
[Overkill.]
He deserved it.
[Whatever you say, anyway.
Master, warning, Three minutes more before your injuries will end your life.]
Oh yeah? KABUTO!
I voiced out as I ejected myself out of the space I made heaving a huge breath with labor and a man way taller than I caught me in mid-air, Kabuto did not say any more words as he just sprinted as fast as possible into the first resource point.
[3rd Person POV]
The howl of their king was immediately transmitted into the hearts of the wolves attacking the resource point they are already escaping but for some reason, instead of escaping, they just got gathered into a single encirclement, it seems like the goblins intended to capture them. But of course, the wolves that they are won't let mere goblins capture them just like that.
As they were planning to have their final stand, the howl came causing their morale that is already being lifted despite hitting a rock bottom to just disappear.
_We... We don't have any hopes, is there..._
All of them have the same thoughts and the look of hatred in the eyes of the two undeads who are leading the goblin soldiers looks like the eyes of the reaper about to cull all of them.
"Surrender."
The goblin who have short hair and a rather skimpy outfit, not like the other goblins any better said in an indifferent tone.
The remaining three Beta of the pack that had its alpha be killed lowered their head thus signifying the end of the battle of the first resource point.
"Father, settle the prisoners."
Lyra immediately said to Bernardo, though Bernardo is conflicted, he is mostly proud that his daughter now has a stronger personality and is not a stubborn fool like she is once before. Well, if she is not stubborn then she might not meet their master so all is good, Bernardo thought.
"Is there anyone who can use healing magic!? Be quick!!"
Lyra suddenly heard the voice of one of his companions, it was Kabuto who have a panicky voice very unusual to him. She immediately sprinted seeing Sophia in Kabuto's arms covered in grass.
"M-master!?"
Lyra stopped on his track, Philo then appeared, looking downhearted as he helplessly looked at his Lady.
"That's the best our master can do to stop her bleeding, even her mighty self won't escape death if she did not receive immediate treatment."
Kabuto continued to yell but was stopped by Lyra.
"Be quiet, how can goblins have healing magic?"
Lyra said as they entered the cave to lay their master into her chambers, in her chambers however, a person, who has white skin and voluptuous proportions can be seen hiding on a wilting branch of the tree they have set up for 'furnishing' purposes.
The branch failed miserably to hide the body of the intruder who sways seductively with every squirm the intruder is doing.
The intruder opened one of her eyes to peak and then opened the remaining one as her expression exclaimed her fright at the situation of the person in the arms of Kabuto.
Lyra knocked her bow and arrow while Philo went to the front baring his teeth.
"WHO ARE YOU!?"
The intruder put up his hands to show she will not resist whilst Kabuto calmly put down Sophia into the stone bed and then dived into his shadow and appeared once again baring his dagger made out of orc bones into the carotid of the intruder.
"Wait... Uhm... I know I am suspicious but I swear I don't have any bad intentions..."
She looked with a pained look of Sophia.
"As... as proof... h-how about I heal her?"
The intruder then with arms still up in the air walked towards Sophia, Kabuto gestured to his seniors to not attack yet and see what will happen.
The intruder once she is already close to Sophia spread her hands into her and then cast a strange white light that enshrouded Sophia's whole being. The subordinates got alerted but then the pained expression of their master lessened and lessened until it became a tranquil face of a seemingly innocent baby smiling.
At that time, Eleanor does not have any idea that she is healing someone deeply etched in her destiny.
