As soon as they walked downstairs, they were greeted by more goblins.

"Krrr, humans!"

"Krr, intruders!"

The moment the goblins saw the trio enter the room, their eyes lit up, but before they could even react, they felt a tremendous weight slam down on them.

"What!!" Eleanor’s eyes widened in shock when she saw the goblins become immobile, their bodies pressed against the ground as if an invisible force was crushing them down.

She turned toward Victor and sensed mana fluctuations around his body.

"Gravity Manipulation, 5x," Victor muttered as the force pressing down on the goblins intensified even further, turning them into goblin paste.

Bang! Bang!

As they continued walking, Victor kept killing goblins one by one with a single glance.

Notifications kept flashing across his system as he slaughtered goblins without mercy.

A few minutes had passed since Victor made his first move, and over a hundred goblins had already perished under the overwhelming force he wielded.

Gulp.

’Looks like he really didn’t need my bodyguard services,’ Eleanor thought as she stared at Victor, who was somehow crushing goblins into thin paste with nothing more than a glance. His actions appeared utterly godlike in her eyes. Never in her life had she seen someone dominate monsters in such a tyrannical manner.

On the other hand, Amber was looking at Victor while biting her lips, feeling an itch spread through her body.

"Hey, how are you doing that? I thought you had a Lightning Bloodline, but it seems like you’re increasing the weight on their bodies and crushing them," Eleanor said after a moment of silence as she looked at the mangled corpses scattered across the blood-soaked floor. She wasn’t disgusted—instead, she seemed strangely satisfied.

"I never said I only had one bloodline," Victor replied in an amused tone. As the implication sank in, Eleanor’s jaw dropped as she stared at Victor.

"Just what kind of monster are you?" Eleanor couldn’t help but blurt out.

Victor didn’t reply and proceeded to the next floor, and everyone’s expressions darkened even further upon seeing the scene before them.

Inside this floor, many females were chained to the walls, and none of them were wearing clothes.

What’s more, most of the females’ bodies were bruised, emaciated, and clearly malnourished. Their eyes were devoid of light, almost like soulless dolls—but even dolls possessed more emotion in their expressions than the people in this room, something they entirely lacked.

One could easily guess the purpose of this room and why these females were here at a glance, but that only made this place even more sickening.

When Amber saw the state of these females and their expressionless faces, even though she didn’t know any of them, her heart filled with anger.

"Damn, these filthy beasts are even crueler than the most sadistic nobles I know. Their very existence is a sin," Amber said as she clenched her fists in rage. Even though she used to play the role of a sadist in the past, she had never been this cruel.

"I should not have killed them so quickly..." Victor sighed, slightly regretting his decision not to torture the goblins before killing them slowly.

All five were women, but they were no longer whole. One of them had both legs torn off, one had lost an eye and an arm, one had all her fingers severed, one had her ears and a leg ripped away, and one had lost her left eye along with her left arm and leg.

Far from feeling disgusted at the sight of the white and yellow maggots writhing through the rotting flesh of their wounds, what Victor felt instead was anger and hatred toward the goblin race.

He had heard from players that these goblins were the worst race among intelligent lifeforms, and many had vowed to exterminate their entire race. In fact, some had made it their life’s mission. He hadn’t understood their obsession in his previous life, as he had never seen the victims of goblins with his own eyes, but now he understood their fury.

"Plea...se..."

It was the same voice as before, and it came from the woman whose fingers were missing..

"Sigh, I have killed the goblins here. You can rest in peace," Victor said and was about to kill them instantly, but Eleanor stepped forward.

"Let me do it," Eleanor said with bloodshot eyes, and Victor nodded.

"Embrace of Heaven."

Beams of light left her fingertips and struck the women. As soon as the beams touched them, they felt a relaxing sensation spread through their bodies, and in the next second, they peacefully lost their lives.

Victor watched as Eleanor stored the corpses of the women inside her storage ring.

"Why did you take the corpses?" Amber asked.

"I will bury them after we leave this place," Eleanor replied.

"Let’s go to the next floor. I can sense a group of humans downstairs," Victor said as the trio followed him.

As soon as they entered the lowest level, they saw a group of beautiful women who were unharmed but nude inside cages.

Victor’s eyes darkened upon seeing this. ’Damn, did some slave traders sell these women to goblins? Fuck, are humans also involved?’

Most females sold in this manner usually became bed warmers for their owners or were forced into prostitution. The women’s eyes lit up with hope the moment Victor appeared in their line of sight.

"Handsome young man, would you be kind enough to take this lady? I will do anything you want..."

"Little brother, we both know why you are here... if you take me out of this cold place, I will give you everything you’ve ever wanted..."

"Handsome, look at this... I am still a virgin..."

A few of the ladies even made seductive gestures in hopes that Victor would be charmed by their bodies.

Victor remained nonchalant throughout the entire scene, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "The goblins in this place are no longer here, and I am here to help you regain your freedom."

Victor brought out a sword and began cutting through the steel cages as though they were paper boxes, and the people inside the cages stared at him with dazed expressions.

"Is it true that you killed those beasts?" one of the women asked.

"Yes, he killed them," Amber replied and handed them some clothes to cover their bodies.

Sob... Sob...

The women who heard her words immediately burst into tears of relief, and after they calmed down, Victor asked them, "Can you tell me, were there some humans who sold you to the goblins?"

"What?! Humans?!" Eleanor and Amber both exclaimed, their expressions darkening as they thought about the most plausible explanation.

It made sense—how could goblins leave the Lightning Valley to capture women? If they did, they would have been discovered long ago, and information about them would already have spread. Moreover, looking at the women before them, they appeared weak and ordinary, meaning they could not have entered the Lightning Valley seeking treasures, as they were far too weak for that.

"Yes, yes. They raided our village and killed everyone except the beautiful women, then brought us here to trade with the goblins for treasures," one of the women said with hatred in her eyes.

"Do you know who they were?" Amber asked. If they could identify them, she would use the Oreburgh family later to hunt them down and torture them to death.

"Yes, they wore black robes with a white eagle on their uniforms," one of the women replied with a frown, and Eleanor’s expression immediately darkened.

"Damn those bastards!" Eleanor suddenly shouted.
