Goblins, a common race of monsters in Kritias, in the Labyrinth of Eden, they had begun to grow in population slowly as they hunt wild animals, hunt other monsters, or cannibalize each other to survive. They had a speech and were usually intelligent and cunning, but lacked emotional intelligence, becoming mostly barbaric and merciless.

Their intelligence, barbaric behavior, and ruthlessness all merged together into cunning geniuses even in their weakness. They had easily been the major cause of casualties in the Labyrinth, many adventurers had perished to their cunning traps and ambushes.

One of the most common ones was hiding in the bushes near this stair and wait for the adventurers to leisurely walk downstairs. They were already very relaxed as the stairs were very long and nothing was there other than the beautiful scenery. Newbies that would stare too much at the beauty of the scenery would become easy prey, dumbfounded by the pretty place, the goblins easily took advantage of them and killed them mercilessly.

No amount of magic nor equipment can save you if you get ambushed from behind and a flying rock breaks your skull, right?

Well, maybe a helmet.

But then you'll have to deal with the poisoned arrow into your knee.

Antidote Magic?

And then you have to evade the deadly javelin.

Indeed, they all attacked at the same time, for those without overwhelming strength and defense, such place was their doom unless they were to notice the goblins in time and ambush them from above with magic while they waited for you in the bushes.

Experienced Adventurers did this usually, blasting these nasty green skins out of existence and getting some easy magic crystals too.

"Grryyaaah!

"

One of the goblins roared angrily because the girls were not being affected by their attacks, holding a rusty knife, he rushed towards Violet, the most small and vulnerable-looking, as he pointed his knife into her stomach, moving faster and twisting his body around with incredible speed and swiftness sonly attained by small critters such as them!

SLASH!

The knife easily pierced through Violet's stomach! The Goblin rejoiced as a sickly smile surged on its wide mouth, showing its sharp teeth, it was ready to munch on the little girl and have the dinner of his lifetime!

However, his hand continued sinking into Violet's stomach.

"Ugrah?

"

And sinking some more…

Suddenly, the Goblin began to scream in agony as its arm was suddenly being triturated by hundreds of sharp fangs inside of Violet's stomach!

Her entire body was actually like her mother, a mass of flesh, and she could mold it however she wanted….

"Grryyyaaaahhh!!!

"

The Goblin screamed in horror as it saw the small little girl devour him alive, his entire body was devoured by her stomach as it opened wide, showing tentacles and a wide jaw with many spiraling teeth, the goblin was triturated into meat paste and swallowed whole…

Crunch, crunch, crunch…

The Goblins looked at the scene in utter horror, their eyes sinking into their skulls as their sharp teeth gritted tightly! Cold sweat began to cover them from neck to toe, their lips trembled like they had never trembled before…!

"Hm, that wasn't that good, I prefer mommy's cooking.

" Said Violet.

"Is that so? Then I guess I am not trying them out.

" Said Aura.

"Yeah don't, they're bad.

" Said Violet.

"Hmm… They're paralyzed in fear.

" Said Kuro.

"GRUGRAAAH!

"

The goblins instead of turning their tails, attacked all together at the monsters in front of them!

They rushed forward like a swarm of angered and wild critters, trying to gang on the little girls.

The goblins began to reach them so fast the girls were surprised…

By how slow they actually were.

"Wow I can see them and they're so slow…

" sighed Kuro.

"Let's see…

" Aura pointed her finger at the goblin in front of her and fired a small laser beam of bright yellow-gold light. Her finger shone brightly as if it was turning into a star itself, and then a ray came out of it, reaching the goblin in front of it incredibly fast and piercing its head!

And the head of another three goblins behind!

All four of the goblins had their brains fried in an instant, although the attack was actually small so their heads didn't exploded into pieces, but the powerful attack was still deadly and left a huge hole in the middle of their foreheads…

The four goblins fell as Kuro decided to be more physical, materializing a large scythe out of her material recreation abilities as a living armor herself, as a beautiful black scythe emerged into her hands, unleashing a powerful aura of phantasmal and dreadful mana…

She swung the scythe in an instant, as she overcharged the scythe with her divine energy, the black metallic scythe shone with bright metallic hue, the phantasmal energy inside of it gathered an then exploded outside of the scythe's blade, unleashing a slicing wave of phantasmal energy that spread to the direction Kuro choose!

SLASH!

Five goblins suddenly felt like something was wrong as they began to see upside down, indeed, their sliced torsos had fallen into the ground and the last thing they saw were the girl's upside down!

BOOM!

The massive wave of phantom continued its curse through the marshland, slicing the weed growing on it and all the wild animals or monsters it came into contact…

Violet finished the other ones rather simply… the Goblins had run towards her with the intention of killing her, and jumped towards her little body, but she simply opened her mouth wider, deforming her cute body into an amorphous shape and simply letting all the goblins fall into the pits of death inside her very mouth when they jumped over her…

They literally jumped to their own deaths…

"Grrryyyyaaaahhh!!!

"

The goblins cried in agony as they were triturated into meat paste in an instant, and then digested.

"Hmm, that was fine… Oh? I leveled up? Really?

" wondered Violet.

"Me too…

" said Aura.

"Same!

" said Kuro.

Now this was interesting.
