Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!-Chapter 358: D132. Show your true skills in the next life_2

Things have gone from bad to worse, as it was caught off guard by a Goblin Magic explosion, forcing it to reduce its own presence for survival, which made its escape even more difficult.

The Nightmare Sage continued to advance in anxiety, enduring the pain and burrowing into the Goblin carcasses that barely held its consciousness.

However, no matter what, that disgusting mound of flesh indeed brought chaos to the city’s order. To approach the city gate as quickly as possible and seize the opportunity to break through the Barrier, it had no choice but to do so.

It didn’t have to be so hasty.

It knew humankind well, though the Border Count had considerable strength, sealing off the entire Border City would require vast resources and money. A prolonged blockade was simply unsustainable and bound to have loopholes eventually.

Even after several backlashes and blows, the Nightmare Sage still retained enough strength to roam the edges of the lockdown; the best proof being that it successfully prepared the Goblin Refinement ceremony, causing the current chaos and casualties.

But lately, destiny seemed to always glower at it.

Originally, it planned to wait for the Goblin Hive Mother to produce more Goblins, then distribute them throughout the city to cause chaos all at once and then find an opportunity to leisurely leave amidst that chaos.

However, the sudden explosion ruined everything, almost costing its life. It had to diminish its own existence to free itself from the pervasive Goblin Magic.

Now, with its strength continuously waning and its spirit exhausted, it could no longer handle the intense searches as calmly as before, and was forced to hastily choose to escape.

But despite all this, chaos had still erupted, and it had already neared its target.

Soon, very soon, just need to think of a way, just need to pass through that Barrier, then it could—

"Indeed, guarding here was the right decision."

[Due to a failed escape, the Nightmare Sage encounters an Assault]

[Sergeant: Ghost Warrior LV73]

Strength: 266

Agility: 303

Constitution: 252

Intelligence: 179

Perception: 237

Charm: 171

[Sergeant activates skills: Wraith, Yin Yang Chaos, Guardian King]

D133+d89+d151+40+374= d133(48)+d89(56)+d151(27)+40+374=545

The Sergeant’s Long Blade became transparent and ethereal, piercing the head of an Adventurer attempting to approach the city gate, passing through as if he was mere air.

The Adventurer’s body thumped to the ground, but his head did not separate from his body, blood splattered five steps away.

Instead, grayish-black smoke surged forth, and wails echoed from the void.

Behind the Adventurer, the Sergeant materialized, accompanied by the sound of his blade being sheathed, a net-like array of Slashing strikes fell, covering the entire void filled with mist.

The Nightmare Sage, not yet recovered from the first strike, was instantly shaterred into scattered fragments.

[Sergeant inflicts 545 points of damage on Nightmare Sage]

[Nightmare Sage suffers excessive damage, activates skill: Dream Awakening LV10]

[Sergeant activates skill: Divine Martial D5+5=10, inflicting 266 points of damage on Nightmare Sage]

[Nightmare Sage suffers excessive damage, activates skill: Dream Awakening LV7]

Constitution: 85

Intelligence: 135

"Damn... why... why like this..."

The Nightmare Sage struggled to reassemble itself, looking towards the now empty city gate, its gaze finally settling on the solitary figure of the Sergeant standing before the gate, uttering a pained whisper.

The Sergeant, expressionless, held the grip of his standard-issue Long Blade.

Due to recent times, the highest specification of Arcane Furnace was serving the Hero, so he was temporarily using this standard-issue Long Blade. Nevertheless, this blade, newly obtained not long ago, seemed to have been mastered for decades in his hands, swinging smoothly without any hesitation.

"Nightmare Sage, you underestimated our resolve and you underestimated the Count’s Wisdom."

"When a disturbance occurred in the city, we had already determined it was your doing. Not only did we not reduce the defense at the city gate, but we actually enhanced it, and I also reached the exit closest to the center of the disturbance as quickly as possible.

"And similarly, sufficient forces were deployed at other city gates as well capable of stopping you."

Despite the Nightmare now appearing utterly disheveled, the Sergeant did not forget the entity’s true nature; it was a Demon Monster King, commanding a vast tribe of Nightmares beyond the city.

The Water Mirror Crane on the highland edge also prompted the Count’s cautiousness, and a higher-ranked Nightmare Sage posed a real threat far beyond just summoning a few hundred Goblins.

However, it had been toooverconfident and also extremely unlucky. Not only did it infiltrate the city alone actively thrusting into humankind’s midst but also encountered backlash multiple times, coupled with an inherent opposition to such Evil Demons, leading to its current wretched state.

But as long as it crossed the Barrier, it could reunite with the Nightmare tribe and swiftly restore its power, by then even if unable to break through the Border City, it could inflict heavy casualties on the surrounding villages.

This was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, a threat that definitely could not be overlooked.

"—Today, you must stay here."

"Damn you—!"

[Nightmare Sage’s struggle (death throes D2, Agility 143,150+High-tier, 250+Ritual)]

2d143=d143(140)+d143(63)=203

[Sergeant’s Slashing (guaranteed 151)]

D152+151=d152(115)+151=266

Accompanied by the high-pitched wail of the Nightmare Sage, an invisible mental Sharp Blade burst forth, capable of rendering all life in its path into a forever vegetative state.

Perhaps a survival instinct kicked in, the Nightmare Sage’s Spellcasting was performed at a speed that would astonish any human Mage, but it did not make the Sergeant’s expression waver at all.

After all, being a Fantasy Species, this level of power was expected.

But—

"Still too slow."

The Long Blade flashes.

[Nightmare Sage’s Critical Success in Struggling! Spellcasting—(Counterattack failed without bonus)]

2d100=d100(26)+d100(23)=49

[Sergeant’s Slashing]

D133+d89+40+222=d133(127)+d89(19)+40+222=408

[Sergeant causes 408 damage to the Nightmare Sage]

[Nightmare Sage takes excessive damage, activates skill: Dream Awakening LV7 (-13,-65)]

[Sergeant activates skill: Divine Martial D5+5=8, causing 213 damage to the Nightmare Sage]

[Nightmare Sage activates skill: Dream Edge (216), Nightmare Sage takes no damage]

Constitution:72

Intelligence:70

[Nightmare Sage’s Intelligence falls to the Legendary Realm, unable to activate related skills again]

The near-simultaneous slashes cross again, but this time the web of swords failed to tear through the enemy again and instead passed through like striking a phantom, slashing powerlessly onto the earth.

In a thunderous roar, dozens of intersecting sword marks are engraved onto the earth, the rebounding wild Magic Power even shocks the nearby city walls, creating shallow, web-like cracks.

"Barely dodged the final blow.

"So difficult to deal with, truly a Fantasy Species."

The Sergeant calmly lifts the Long Blade, his pupils reflecting the now shattered form of the Nightmare Sage.

"It shouldn’t be... like this..." The Nightmare Sage, upon first appearance, though its facial features were obscured in shadows and blurred, still held a tall human silhouette.

And while fleeing, although it no longer maintained a human posture, it was still a solid mass of gray mist.

But now it could no longer maintain even such a form, with the mist that made up its body continually dispersing and falling, struggling merely inches above the ground, like the morning mist about to fade at dawn.

At this moment, unable to utter a complete sentence, it simply struggles, trying to distance itself from the increasingly Magic Power infused blade.

"In this world, there’s no such thing as ’should’ or ’should not’."

The Sergeant’s expression remains unshaken by the enemy’s tragic condition, his voice adopting a hint of coldness.

"The Kingdom has defended its borders for many years, the frontier defenses haven’t been expanded in a long time.

"But that does not imply we are declining.

"Establishing Guilds in major towns, setting up communications; strengthening defenses on existing city foundations, training more Professionals; establishing a corresponding academy system, developing Arcane Engineering... Although the Kingdom as a whole may not be powerful enough yet, this city at the forefront is no longer a place where creatures like you can run wild."

Magic Power flares up like a torch, forming a blade that almost reaches the sky.

"—Magic Creatures, this is Humankind’s domain, remember this with your life."

The Long Blade falls.
