Chapter 44 Are you joking

" What " .

' Why are they surprised ' .

" Am sorry but did you just say you can bring back the crystal which even I a trained assassin couldn't bring " , Farhen asked trying to calm his anger.

' Is this pompous brat trying to belittle him by claiming he could finish a task which almost killed him..... '

ರ╭╮ರ

' If I wasn't still recovering I would have beaten him up already , is he trying to say he can do it better than me despite me been trained for the past 20 years , is he trying to mock me ' , Farhen thought .

"Aaaarrrrrggghhh "

Layla laughed seeing the boy she had always taught to be useless trying to ' impress ' them by going on a suicide mission

" I knew you where dense but I didn't know you where also suicidal , if your trying to impress me just give up on it cause your death is just going to be amusing and laughable you stupid peasant " , Layla said while laughing.

' Sometimes I wish I can spank this brat and give her some manners ' , Miles thought while staring angrily at Layla .

" Can you please explain what you mean Miles " , Gilliard asked.

" I mean I can get the Mana crystal for you if you just give me some time " , Miles replied .

" Fine you stupid peasant since you don't value your life why don't you..... " , Layla was saying but was caught short by Gilliard .

" Are you sure you can get the crystal " Gilliard asked .

" Well am not a hundred percent sure but am confident in my skills " , Miles said which earned the fury of Farhen .

" Look kid the shaman is not someone a newly promoted B rank like you can handle if you set foot in that city it is going to be suicidal for you " , Farhen said .

" Don't worry about it am pretty sure I can take care of my self " , Miles replied .

" Just let him go if he want to die so badly then let him go and get himself killed he isn't useful any way " , Layla snorted .

Gilliard after observing Miles knew he was one of the strongest members In the team , even though he wasn't the most skilled and his sword moves where amateurish at best he was still plenty strong which was a surprise to him because when he went through his adventure sheet he was just Barely a B rank adventurer but what he was seeing here was totally on a different level , and in a few years he will surely be an A rank fighter , so Gilliard couldn't help but think maybe he was hiding his might before which was impressive because for someone as young as him already been on the road to a rank A fighter it meant he was gifted , but even though he was gifted that didn't mean he could steal from a beast which a trained A rank fighter couldn't steal from it was just suicide but still he will give him the benefit of the doubt and let him go .

" Miles you can go and try , but I wouldn't give you more than an hour anything more and I'll assume that you are dead is that clear ? " , Gilliard asked.

" of course " , Miles replied while taking his leave.

" Sir why did you let him go , it is a suicide task " , Farhen asked .

" I know that but I have no choice if he can take the crystal it will make our clash with the goblins easier if not some of us will be killed in the clash " , Gilliard replied .

Although Miles knew it will be way easier for him to steal the crystal from the shaman with his void jump and escape easily , but he didn't want to tell them his secret , and he had noticed that if he used the void jump to much it weakened him it wasn't a skill that used Mana but if used to many times his body wouldn't be able to handle it and will start to weaken which could last for a whole day so he didn't want to use it to much .

Miles ran through the forest speeding past the trees as he made his way towards the now 'goblin city' .

After about two minutes of sprinting he finally saw the city walls in front of him , he climbed up a tree and so he could get a good view of inside the walls so he could directly teleport inside .

After finding a deserted location inside the walls he used the skill directly teleporting to the location .

' Great I made it inside the walls , but there is still one big problem I don't know where the shaman is ' , Miles thought .

' He might be inside that castle that's the first place I have to check ' , Miles thought .

Before using void jump to approach the castle gate .

Seeing the goblin generals who where protecting the gate whole heartedly Miles couldn't help but laugh .

While stress himself going through the front door when he can just teleport inside the castle through the windows .

Teleporting inside the window in the top part of the castle Miles made his way through the castle trying to find the shaman .

While Miles was walking through the castle he heard a goblin talking to another goblin .

" Ga hi ga tro leee .... "

Miles looked at the talking creatures .

' Hmm I can't hear their language '.

[ Would host like other languages to be translated to the host directly Yes/No ]

' What this system can do that ' , Miles thought while mentally clicking yes.

[ All foreign languages are going to be translated for the easy understanding of the host ]

As the system screen vanished from his vision Miles noticed he could understand the creatures clearly albeit what they where saying wasn't fluent he still understood them .

" Human destroy shaman's cave " , the first one said .

" Woooo what shaman do now human already run away " , the other one asked .

Miles couldn't distinguish between them since they both looked the same .

" What his Gobloid do now " .

" Human try take treasure so His Gobloid keep treasure near him " .

' From what I can gather it seems they already found out we are after their crystal and it is already in the hands of their king , damn this make it a whole lot harder but I still have to try my best ' , Miles said making his way to the throne room .

On his way to the throne room Miles met a lot of goblins on the way and if not for his void jump he would have been discovered already .

Making it to the throne room Miles saw a goblin on the throne talking to another who was on his knees and the Mana crystal was on his right hand side a little away from him but he could cover the distance in a second if he needed to protect it .

" your Gobloid the army still haven't returned from the inferno " , the hobgoblin reported .

" What that's almost 30% of my force how can they be wiped out like that , unless they meet an army of humans , quickly prepare my armour am going out to kill the human army " , Rakh'Ash said.

" The humans my know about our treasure but they will never get their hands on our treasure and with it we will kill them all , with the power of our treasure we shall crush them , no human filth will lay his hand on our ... ", Rakh'Ash was in the middle of his speech but was interrupted by a human who seemingly disappeared out of no where and was now with their treasure .

" Oh if you don't mind me I didn't mean to interrupt your speech I was only here for the Mana crystal " , the human said before disappearing out of sight leaving the shocked goblin king Frozen in place .

(●__●)

Rakh'Ash kept staring at the former location of the treasure thinking it was just his mind playing trick with him and any time now the horrible dream will end .

"NNNNNNNNOOOOO , THE TREASURE " , Rakh'Ash shouted while releasing his aura which sent the unlucky goblins in the throne room crashing in the walls which directly killed the goblins while the hobgoblins managed to leave with heavy wounds even the generals where still a little affected by the pressure .

" Quickly search the whole castle he couldn't have gone far get me that human and most importantly bring back the treasure " , Rakh'Ash shouted .

Meanwhile the human he was looking for was already out of the city and in the forest staring at the floating message in his vision .

[ Obsidian crystal found would you like to start absorbing it's energy ]
