Burning Soul
Chapter 80
After waiting for a while, he finally decided to deal with this camp.
Although he was making a move without Lumiere’s acknowledgement, he was still being loyal to the methods and using the only skill he showed.
So long he hadn’t perfected it, yet he was trying his best.
‘Now to begin I think it’d be better to distract a few and then take them by surprise.’
This strategy had been proven effective earlier while taking on previous camps so naturally, he wanted to go with the same.
The same skill set that he had been following for the last 3 camps, surprisingly he had been successful, though up until now he had been facing 4 Goblins at max. now there were more and seemed more dangerous.
‘Well, I took down a warlock then that monster bear, this would be a piece of cake in comparison, though I hope the offence goes well, this skill leaves no space for defence and once they are on alert it’d be difficult.’
Though he had already taken a step,
‘Let''s see how it goes!’ he thought and moved in.
At the camp, those on guard heard something in the bushes nearby, as a standard reply to this, they moved in closer to inspect.
Although they were quite cautious, that ticked him a bit.
‘Now there’s no going back huh!’ Thinking this to himself he pounced on them,
“Striking Lance” as he was waiting up in the trees, he didn’t need to use the first skill, he learned in the last attack that he can literally ditch the whole first skill, the trade-off being the speed would decrease for the second skill.
Here it was no prob as he managed to take them by surprise.
“Lateral Collision” Even though his movements were not as smooth as Lumiere''s, he managed to slash through them.
This caused a bit of noise in the quiet night of the forest attracting the attention of the other Goblins.
‘As I thought!’
“Boost-Overdrive Pounce”
It was a bit different than what he had shown yet Lumiere never said not to enhance the skills. Adding the ‘Boost’ spell to the skill he managed to increase his speed dramatically directly appearing right above the loads,
‘Got Y''all’
Just as he was about to activate his second skill on of them took aim at him and shot towards him,
…
‘This is bad!’
He had to ditch the idea of activating the skill and land normally.
This broke the chain of skill sets and nullified the effect.
‘Crap,
Without the surprise element, this is gonna be difficult.’
He realized that there was a reason this felt difficult to him, as it really was.
‘Huh, that much is expected’ though he didn’t stop his efforts.
“Shadow Step” he disappeared right in front of their eyes as he dissolved,
“You miss me?” His voice literally shocked everyone as it came from right behind,
“Lateral collision!” Also, Lumiere didn’t say he couldn’t use the skill set as individual skills either. Even though using only one would lessen the effect, on an enemy that wasn’t on guard, it was simply buttery smooth.
‘This marks the fourth,
or rather not!
What’s in there, should I take a look?’ He thought to himself before walking towards the camp.
‘Well,
whatever,
even if there is something,
I can take it on my own as there is no one left to interfere’ although it was dangerous his past endeavours had filled him with enough courage.
He walked to the camp and took off the cloth covering the front end to see what was inside of it.
To his surprise, there was nothing in there except a potion and a note.
He picked it up and read it only to be stunned by the content, it said,
“You can meet her, all you need to do is drink this potion and lie down, the one who guides you is waiting for you to respond to her call”
.
…
A little farther than where the camp was,
“Master is it necessary to stay here and play with the kid, we should be heading back.”
To his question, Diablo answered with a smile, “We are not wasting our time, if I hadn’t sensed someone interfering with this world, we’d have already left, but seems like someone is interested in him just as much.
Let’s see what he is up to while we are at it, oh!
And it’s not like we will be late for anything!”
The arch-demon simply couldn’t believe how much liking his mighty lord had taken to this kid he had never even heard of a while ago.
