Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 23: Goblin Cave II

After an hour,

The sea of goblins that was before the students was no longer visible. Currently, everyone was sitting on the hard ground, panting heavily. Because after fighting for so long they were exhausted.

Meanwhile, Alec who was sitting beside Carcel looked at the new notification he got from the system,

Alec sighed looking at the notification, telling him about the failure of the mission. The reward was tempting but there was no way he would be able to find someone without knowing who it was.

'Humans don't have bloodlines. Was the system telling me to find a monster who has Celestial Bloodline? No way. The name Celestial sounds quite powerful and considering the system wants to stop the world from destruction, it won't help a powerful monster.'

Sometimes Alec just wished the system would give detailed information about the missions. But he didn't dare to complain after gaining so much from the system.

On the other hand, he was happy about finally gaining a new mission after so long. Finding and killing the Goblin Leader won't be hard for him as he is already inside the 'Goblin cave'.

Lara seeing Alec being too engrossed in his thoughts Said,

"What happened?"

Alec stood up and patted his clothes.

"Nothing. I am done resting, how about we go further inside the cave."

Mia nodded agreeing to Alec's suggestion.

Lara also agreed with a big sigh before following Alec and Carcel.

The four of them started walking, heading deeper into the cave. And seeing them leaving, all the students despite being tired stood up and quietly followed behind them.

Meanwhile, with the most pleasant smile one could muster, Kyle was walking behind the students. After killing so many goblins he was feeling refreshed. Looking at the students at the front Kyle said to Nine who was walking beside him,

"Honestly the Goblins were too ugly, but it was fun."

Nine who was slowly walking alongside Kyle replied in a daze.

"....Right"

During the goblin's attack, both Kyle and Nine were fighting further away from the students, that's why others didn't notice Kyle's rampage. But Nine saw everything, he saw how Kyle fought with the Goblins!

No, he won't call it a fight!

It was literally a bloody massacre where Kyle used his fists and kicks to punch the Goblins to their death. Seeing the Goblin's swollen and pitiful faces Nine accidentally imagined himself being on the receiving end,

'I swear to myself I will never get on Kyle's bad side.'

After promising himself to not get on Kyle's bad side he started cleaning the green goblin blood from his sword.

As everyone moved deeper into the cave without looking back, they heard a loud sound of metal clicking with each other.

-Click! -Clank!

Alec who was in the front moved forward to see the origin of the sound, only to find five different tunnels up ahead.

Among the five tunnels, the one in the middle was guarded by an (E)-Rank Goblin warrior, holding an axe in one hand and a shield in another.

Because there were five different paths to choose from, all the students started discussing which tunnel to enter. But mostly students decided to enter the one guarded by the Goblin warrior, because if it is guarded by an (E)-Rank Goblin then it's probably the right path.

After discussing with the others, Alec's team also decided to enter the middle tunnel. All four of them moved forward, engaging in a battle with the (E)-Rank Goblin warrior.

On the other hand, Kyle narrowed his eyes to see the situation. But when he saw that almost everyone was heading toward the middle path guarded by the Goblin warrior, he frowned. He gestured for Nine to just enter the left tunnel which was not guided by any Guardian.

Nine also wanted to enter the middle tunnel but because Kyle said to enter the other one he asked with confusion,

"Why are we heading this way, when everyone is going to fight the Goblin warrior."

Kyle looked at Nine with a carefree smile,

"It's because the tunnels are too narrow from the inside. If we enter the same tunnel as others we won't be able to kill many goblins. First, it will be too crowded. And second, the people in front will get the most points due to them killing the most goblins."

Hearing Kyle's explanation, Nine nodded his head with understanding.

Both of them walked further inside the tunnel, and just like Kyle expected the road started to become narrow. A couple of (-F)-Rank goblins soon appeared before them, obstructing their path.

And because Kyle and Nine both were already holding their swords before entering the tunnel. They immediately attacked the goblins without any mercy.

-Click! -Clank! -Click!

-Thud! -Thud!

Soon after, many green heads fell on the ground indicating the end of the battle. For the next few hours, they either walked or hunted down goblins that tried to ambush them as they moved forward.
