Chapter 55 Teamwork
The Goblin King, who had been proud of his goblin army, was now down to just nine goblin generals. He looked around to see his army corpses lying in green blood, split in half all over the place.
In unison, the goblin generals roared in rage. The only thing they wanted now was to kill that person who had appeared out of nowhere on the battlefield.
"Holy shit brother, that was awesome." The spear guy said it with sparkling eyes. Finally, the rest of the guys snapped out of their shock.
"Y..You are really powerful; you should have helped us earlier." David said this while trying to sound confident.
Aizel took a glance at him and then looked toward Thomas.
"We have to cooperate with each other if we want to kill all of them, and try to save some energy of yours because we might have to face some more enemies after that," Aizel said, which surprised everyone once again.
He has already informed them there might be more trouble on the way, but they still wanted to have some hope.
Thomas nodded, while the rest of the guys also focused their attention on the remaining nine goblin generals, who were running in a frenzy toward them.
Aizel used mana to increase his speed and began running toward the first goblin general. The spear guy did the same and followed Aizel.
The goblin general swung his big club down at Aizel with full force, wanting to smash this human to a pulp.
With his speed, Aizel easily avoided the attack, while the spear guy quickly stabbed the goblin general with his spear. The spear pierced the goblin general's thick skin, causing the monster to roar in pain. The goblin general attempted to take a step back, but a water spear, similar to a drill, quickly pierced his chest, leaving a large hole in it.
The spearman wanted to celebrate a little, but he saw two more goblin generals approaching.
Thomas cast a small lake-sized water spell above the two goblin generals' heads and flushed it downwards towards the monster.

The two monsters stumbled in the water spell, while Aizel quickly struck the water with lightning. The lightning struck the water quickly, scattering sparks and stunning the two goblin generals.
Nathan quickly took the chance to grab the advantage as he slashed with his dual swords, targeting the neck area, while Alisme did the rest with her dagger to deal double damage around the neck.
And just like that, three goblin generals were dead in a matter of minutes, leaving only six with the Goblin King.
The remaining goblin generals paused for a moment, intimidated by their comrades' quick defeat, but quickly regained their composure and charged towards Nathan and Alisme, weapons raised, when they heard the angry roar of the Goblin King.
"Man, if I could only go all out, I would have finished them much more quickly and easily." Aizel thought in his mind. Not only has he researched many things on the internet, but he has also researched many spells and techniques that he can imagine for different elements through anime or fantasy novels.
Aizel stood back and watched as Nathan and Alisme fought off the goblin generals, waiting for the right moment to use his own magic.
This time, all six of the remaining goblin generals were attempting to attack them. Alisha shot arrows one after the other, attempting to aim for their eye, but the running and moving around made it difficult.
Meanwhile, Harry stood like a rock in front of David at the back, wanting to join his friends but being told repeatedly not to leave his side by this noble.
Thomas was casting a water-controlling spell; he summoned some water tentacles that kept the six goblin generals apart, and Aizel was casting lightning spells from time to time through water tentacles.
Because the water was a good conductor of electricity, he was making full use of it. Thomas also noticed that and started using more water spells, which can help with the Aizel element.
"If this goes on, we can pretty much have a decent chance to escape from this situation, but why is that Goblin King not attacking us? Is he so confident?" Thomas pondered as he saw the goblin king just staring at them from the distance with an angry look.
The group eventually dispatched all six remaining goblin generals, one by one. The cooperative spell of Aizel and Thomas, as well as everyone's teamwork, made it simple for them.
"Only the Goblin King is left. Kill him, guys." David shouted from the back. He finally sighed in relief; what once felt like an impossible situation was now pretty much clear. He finally had a chance to survive and return home.
The Goblin King glared at them with hatred and eventually shifted his position. He began to approach them slowly, a hammer resting on his shoulder.
"Everyone must protect David at all costs. Only me and Thomas will fight against the Goblin King. No matter what, don't try to help us or leave your position. Go back now." Aizle shouted quickly, while the rest of them seemed pretty confused.
But they still did as they were told and quickly went back to cover David from all sides.
Even David was confused by the situation; he thought Aizel might be sending them to protect him from the Goblin King.
"We can easily kill this monster, Thomas. Your power can collide with his head-on, so concentrate on that and leave the job of killing him to me." Aizel said while Thomas was a little hesitant about it. He thought, how can it be easy to kill a Grade II monster?
What he didn't know was that Aizel had already experienced a fight with a Grade II monster. He also has knowledge of the fire element, and he has faced worse situations than this.
