Venn had died.

Or not less than that was what he hoped that the goblin scout would imagine particularly after the Oscar degree appearing that he painstakingly carried out.

Initially, he had already deliberate to battle to the loss of life with the goblin scout within the tent. However as soon as he realized that he might management each himself and the shadow that he conjured individually, he had a change of thoughts.

It was a lot better that he didn’t put all his eggs into one basket, and he was proper.

“Hahh.. Hahh..”

After distracting the goblin’s consideration, his shadow had escaped from the tent with the twins in his arms.

And proper earlier than he was killed, he had reactivated his ability to swap locations along with his shadow, leading to his shadow to behave as an alternative choice to the deadly blow.

It appeared that he was nonetheless capable of swap locations along with his shadow even when they have been greater than 30 metres aside. Figuring out this, Venn’s face brightened slightly, however nonetheless he wanted to experiment extra to know concerning the extent of his ability.

After switching locations, Venn had been operating across the battlefield that was engulfed by flames with the Oni twins piggybacked on his again to search for a approach out while dodging flaming particles.

Despite the fact that deep down, he knew that the twins have been simply digital information, and he wasn’t precisely in a circumstance to assist the NPCs, he could not discover the center to desert the twins. Particularly after witnessing the atrocities that the goblin military had subjected to the Oni race.

Wanting again, ever since he joined the blood serpents, he felt that issues stored getting weirder and weirder.

The extra he is aware of concerning the secrets and techniques within the recreation, the extra unfamiliar the sport is. Heaven Descent had developed to grow to be a a lot completely different recreation than what he had remembered.

After encountering flaming obstacles after obstacles, Venn lastly discovered a transparent path out of the village after taking a number of detours.

Alongside the way in which, he had met others that have been operating away for his or her lives as properly they usually banded collectively to seek for a approach out of the ransacked village, following alongside a considerably empty path.

Though Venn felt that it was very unusual that each one the goblins have been nowhere in sight, he shrugged the sensation off as there have been no alternate options.

Earlier than lengthy, the group consisting of round 20 individuals lastly arrived at a gap.

Nonetheless, as a substitute of feeling relieved, their faces shortly distorted into faces of despair once they quickly found a row of closely armed goblins surrounding them and blocking their path of escape as if that they had been ready for them to land straight into their lure.

Among the many goblins, there was even a huge hobgoblin standing amongst them with a big picket membership of round 5 metres lengthy whereas behind the rank of goblins, there have been clusters of captured people with their wrists being tied with large ropes; lots of whom on the verge of loss of life as bruises and blood coated their our bodies.

Seeing the goblin’s formation, Venn shortly realised that it was a lure. To avoid wasting the effort of discovering Oni that have been hiding from them, the goblins had set hearth to the village to flush out the remaining people.

“Hahaha… Is that this the tip?”

“In any case that I had carried out to affix the blood serpents, I used to be given an unimaginable mission to finish?” Venn complained whereas clenching his sword laborious.

He could not settle for such an final result.

Nearly instantly, Venn turned to the group of Oni round him to encourage them to battle. However in contrast to what he had anticipated, the colors of their eyes had lengthy since pale away together with their combating spirits.

They’d utterly given up.

Nonetheless, Venn wasn’t capable of. Though he would possibly seem like an fool that struggles pointlessly, he preserved on.

That was how he had lived his life, and he wasn’t going to alter that.

Stepping ahead to battle, Venn’s lone determine appeared extremely gallant. Towards the horde of appalling goblins that have been multitudes bigger than him, he steadfastly stood in the course of their encirclement.

Nonetheless, earlier than Venn and the goblins crashed, the sound of a lone drum beat all of the sudden might be heard because it echoed all through the grassy plains.

“Dum!”

Shocked, everybody within the space; each goblins and the Onis alike, stopped their actions momentarily to go searching for the sound’s origin, however to no avail.

Quickly, the drum beat was adopted by one other once more, with the sound of every beat touchdown not directly onto everybody’s coronary heart, thereby affecting their heartbeats as properly.

“Dum!”

“Dum!”

“Tak!”

Shortly after, the beat of the drums quickened its rhythm, going quicker and quicker each time a verse is accomplished.

“Dum! Dum! Tak!”

“Dum! Dum! Tak!”

“Dum! Dum! Tak!”

And on the peak of its pace, the beats stopped abruptly, turning the place right into a creeping silence.

Nobody is aware of what was occurring. However as soon as the beats stopped, they noticed a younger woman had appeared out of nowhere in entrance of Venn.

Instantly after that, the Onis cheered once they had a greater look once more on the determine.

“Princess Ysera!”

“The princess is right here to avoid wasting us!”

The younger woman was sporting an extended white silk costume with an extended sword in her proper hand. Together with each step that she took, an air of class was emitted by her as properly.

Towards the massive hobgoblin, she wasn’t fazed a bit. As an alternative, she launched the initiative by attacking first.

With the straightforward twist of her wrist, her lengthy sword flew throughout a number of metres in the direction of the hobgoblin, and earlier than the hobgoblin might intercept the sword with its membership, the lengthy sword break up into seven longswords inside a second, surrounding the hobgoblin in all instructions in mid-air.

Then, as if she was dancing across the hobgoblin elegantly, she appeared in the direction of one of many swords and grabbed it earlier than she strikes on the hobgoblin.

In the meantime, the sounds of drum beats might be heard once more.

After each slash, the sword she was holding would disintegrate, making her transfer on in the direction of one other floating sword. It went on till the seventh sword with the primary fourth aimed on the hobgoblin’s limbs, the fifth and sixth sword aimed toward its chest and the ultimate strike aimed toward its head.

Inside lower than three seconds, the massive hobgoblin fell with out even placing up an honest battle. As if it was a strawman for observe, its giant torso collapsed to the bottom making everybody that noticed the scene speechless.

“Fuck. That is simply the in-game cutscene for having accomplished the tutorial is not it?” Venn thought as he lastly realised why he was given ten days to finish the blood serpent quest.
