nAlex looked at the snake-like fire going up against the sky and exploding into reddish flames.

n“Shit! I think Max is in trouble.” Alex cursed and left the goblin to escape and was about to rush forward but halted his steps and looked at the cracker and thought that the direction of the signal coming was supposed to be Aeon’s zone.

nAlex’s eyeball widened as he thought about the matter.

nAeon is in peak disciple ranked and is on the edge of breaking through to master ranked.

nSo, Aeon facing trouble meant that someone stronger made an appearance.

nConcluding the things, Alex rushed in the direction along with his squad and the group of rangers while communicating the things and talking about probable dangers Aeon may have faced.

n…..

nOn the far northeast from Alex’s direction.

nThe entire ground had been turned into a bloody battlefield.

nThe Aeon team had suffered two casualties along with multiple injuries.

nIn front of him was a sea of goblins who were swarming them.

nThere had been a goblin hideout nearby and sensing the beings closer to them, the goblins started to rampage and assaulted Aeon’s team in huge masses.

nAeons and the rangers showed worse expressions of fright and shock while many were thinking of retreating but Aeon was dead set on handling them and getting rid of them now.

nCause he was sure that if this goblin were left like this many casualties were going to happen. The current village had been utterly devastated and all the population of a hundred had been killed.

nAnd if these goblins reach the denser populated village of around 500, unimaginable things might have happened.

nAeon guided the flank while shouting”Maintain the formation. We need to hold on until the reinforcements arrive.”

nAeon unsheathed the sword and dashed towards the sea of goblins.

nHe kicked the goblin in the front who flew away and crashed onto the other goblins making the front of the goblin swarm collapse. Taking this opportunity, he ordered his man to fire.

nThe arrows pierced the goblin and the front ones were killed but the ones at the back didn’t have any mercy even for their kin and used the corpse of the goblin at the front as meat shields to protect themselves from the arrows.

nAeon jumped and along him, the rangers also jumped on the sea of goblins and slashed every green head that came in his sight.

nWhile they were busy engaging, they didn’t notice the presence of a goblin who wore a cloak along with a staff that seemed to be made of bones.

n“Hujrah Freeraris!”

nHe chanted something in the language of goblins and a huge fireball materialised in the air out of nowhere and fell over the Aeon and rangers.

nAeon’s hair stood up as he sensed danger and a burning sensation over his head and looked at a sphere of fire falling on top of them.

nAeon’s eyeball narrowed and stomped the ground, he jumped up and pulled back his sword towards his left shoulder and coating it with a thin layer of mana, he slashed towards it.

nBAAM!

nFollowed by his swing, like waves crashing down on the shore, an invisible ripple was formed in the air followed by the air before Aeon was torn and cut apart along with the fireball descending on them.

nThe fireball split into two halves and each half separated and went in two opposite directions.

nOne fell on the sea of goblins and burnt the goblin who emitted a shrill cry of pain and anguish.

nAnd another was falling near his people.

nAeon noticed the trajectory of the other fireball and was rushing forward to save them but Alex and Max appeared in time and both of their mighty slashes completely neutralised and extinguished the flames in the mid-air.

nAeon breathed the air of relief but he didn’t calm down as because of his careless mistakes, his people might have suffered many injuries.

nAlex’s expression turned solemn seeing the dark-cloaked goblin holding a staff.

nIf there weren’t this huge number of goblins then he would have screamed.

n“What the hell!A goblin mage. Are you kidding me?”

nEven after countless searches, Alex hadn’t found anyone talented in magic.

nThough one can also be a mage despite talent but for that, they need extensive teaching and guidance and there are no magician towers, nor any mage school in Nevan.

nMoreover for Alex to teach others magic, he needs to awaken his mana and use magic first.

nAlex asked the others to take care of these green heads while he and Aeon took care of the mage.

nA mage can be highly fatal if he was given a chance to cast spells from long range.

nAlex stomped the ground and jumped over the goblin and each time he landed, he would land with a loud boom blasting away the goblins and then jump again.

nAfter taking a few jumps and crushing everything in his path, Alex finally arrived in front of the goblin.

nAlex noticed a small smirk appearing on the goblin’s lips and his senses heightened by a margin.

nWhen he landed, he noticed a change in ground structure and the ground faltered and Alex fell into the huge pit which was created by the goblin mage.

nThe goblin waved his staff and many fireballs appeared in the sky and started to descend on Alex.

nAlex saw the illuminating brightness but there was no expression of fear in his eyes.

nClenching his fist, he looked at the wall of dirt and soil before him and clenched his fist tightly.

nHis muscles bulged and veins started to appear in his arm and contracting his muscles to maximum, he punched at the wall in front of him.

nBOOHOO!

nWith a loud thundering sound, the wall before him crumbled and a fissure started to form before Alex and the space before Alex was cleared.

nAlex didn’t waste any time and jumped out of the pit. The fireball fell on the place where he stood and small explosions started to occur.

nAlex jumped out of the place and looked at the goblin mage with a large grin on his face and was about to punch it when something with superior speed hit the head of the goblin mage and crushed his head which popped like a watermelon.

n“What The Hell!” Alex screamed seeing the scene.
