Goblins in the Letchers village

DLR - 7

____________________________

Riding throughout the whole day, Vernox and Minova finally got to their next stopping point. It was a small village owned by letchers, they are demons similar to elves but they have purple skin, sharp teeth and claws.

Riding inside the village he went to the stable that he saw.

"I need him taken care of"

He spoke to the letcher there as he have him the horse and some charol.

"Come on, let's find a place to stay"

And like that they explored the village where they saw that the letcher was even more developed than the last village they were at.

After some time they finally found an inn and rented a room there.

"This seems like a nice place"

He collapsed on the bed.

"Come on, don't hesitate. Get some rest too"

Minova, who has been looking at Vernox weirdly finally moved and sat on the bed. Vernox and Minova were organising their things when all of a sudden a noise started coming from outside the inn.

*Dang Dang Dang*

Bells were being rung as the letchers were running into their houses. The noises were disturbing Vernox and Minova so he decided to go and check it out.

"Wait here, I'll go check it out"

He walked out of the inn and saw one of the letchers running towards him. He grabbed the man's arm and shouted.

"What's going on?"

"Th... they're coming, the goblins are coming, let me go"

The man looked so scared and terrified. Vernox walked towards the village entrance and there he saw some weird monsters. They were goblins but they were huge.

Actually they were always big but now that he's seen them for real, they were truly big.

They held large maces and there was three of them.

Vernox walked towards them as they were making a lot of noise smashing things that they saw around.

"Hey!"

The goblins, hearing a small creature shouting all turned and looked at him. Feeling the demonic energy that was being emitted by Vernox they attacked him.

The one in the middle swung his mace at Vernox downwards. Vernox saw this and put his hand towards the left and that's when he noticed that he left his sword at the inn.

'Ahh...whatever'

He swung his fist upwards to clash with the mace.

Some villagers were peeping out of their windows and watching the fight that just started.

*Bang*

Vernox punched the mace and he overpowered it causing the goblin to stumble and lose balance a little.

For some reason he wasn't scared of them, infact since he came to this world...he has not felt fear, only excitement.

With tremendous speed, Vernox rushed to the unbalanced goblin and punched it's stomach with all his strength. The tremendous force bursted a hole in it's body.

Seeing their fellow goblin fall the other two charged at him and swung their maces. With accuracy he dodged the mace and jumped forward grabbing one of the goblins legs swinging it into the air.

'It's not even that heavy'

All the people were wondering who this person was to have such strength. The goblins have been terrorising their village and stealing their food for years. The goblins were too strong and nobody could do anything about it. But this young demon that they were watching was making defeating them look so easy.

"Hah"

Vernox kicked the leg of the goblin and it fell to the ground dropping it's mace. Vernox quickly grabbed the large mace and swung it at the goblins face. The goblin could only watch as the mace smashed it's head and killed it.

All the people there couldn't believe it. This demon actually singlehandedly killed the goblins...with his bare hands. All the people there came out, all with shocked expressions.

*Pa Pa Pa*

Soon all the villagers started clapping as they went to him.

"Huh?"

Vernox looked at the villagers coming towards him and was surprised that they came outside.

Out of the crowd an old letcher came out and went to Vernox.

"Dear boy, I'm the village leader. I thank you on behalf of the entire village for getting rid of the goblins" the man said wholeheartedly.

"It's no problem, they were just making too much noise and I silenced them"

'Yess...classic overpowered character line. Now they shall fear me'

"You're funny my boy, We SHALL CELEBRATE THIS YOUNG HERO WHO HAS SAVED OUR VILLAGE FROM ITS DOWNFALL" the old man shouted.

*Whooo..yeah*

The air was filled with cheers. Everyone was shocked, relieved and happy, but no one was more shocked than Minova who watched the entire thing.

'He's so powerful....I also want to have power like him'

Now she was convinced that she followed the right person.

A while later Vernox came back to the room only to find Minova swinging his sword around. He only chuckled at her.

"It's not a play thing. You don't need to worry about your power that you can't use, I know of a way to help you but it's going to take a while"

After all he needed to take the throne from his brother and restore order to the demon kingdom. Hearing his words, Minova smiled a smile of hope.

"Come on, they're holding a feast. Might as well enjoy our stay here"

He then left the room.

'He's so unfazed, even after fighting those monsters'

She was now more frustrated by her weakness. She began to worship Vernox inwardly.

Inside a bar in the village cheers and shouting were echoing and Vernox was being entertained by some letcher ladies.

Minova then entered the place and walked towards him.

"Minova my dear. Come, take a seat"

He pulled a chair for her and she sat beside him.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself" she said as she saw him eating a large piece of meat which was on the table.

"Here have some. It's good"

He gave her a plate of the delicious looking meat and...well...she ate it.

"All right all right. settle down"

The whole place seemed to quiet down as the old village leader climbed on a table there, not afraid that he might fall.

"Today...we celebrate our freedom. And our hero, the demon prince of Azure. CHEERS"

"CHEERS"

Everybody chorused as the celebrations began again. It was a long feast and when Vernox started feeling dizzy Minova took him back to the room and he fell asleep immediately.
