As Collete slumped on the ground, I got off her chest and tried to slash at the startled Goblin Lord. However, perhaps wary of me, a mysterious baby, the Goblin Lord immediately jumped back and distanced itself.
“W-What’s…going on…? Human…baby, doing some…thing like this…”
“It’s no use running away.”
“~~~~!?”
From the goblin lord’s point of view, he probably thought he was far enough. However, that position is still inside my reach. I closes the distance with a leap and slams Lindwurm into its head. The goblin lord panicked and tried to block it with its sword, but it was too late.
Clang!!
Lindwurm’s blade cut the Goblin Lord’s sword then directly sliced its body into half from the top of its head. Slowly, its body part ways and cries could be heard from the left and right side.
“Ga, a, aa-aaaaaaaa~~~~!?”
Thud. The left and right side of the body fell to the ground at the same time.
“G-Goblin Lord…”
“With one blow…?”
“T-The goblin lord that even seasoned adventurers struggle with…?”
The examiners and examinees were stunned. Colette suddenly made an enigmatic cry, “Awawawa.”
“““~~~~~~~~~~!?”””
On the other hand, the goblins were greatly panicked when their leader was killed. I’m not sure if all their power from before was gone or it’s just that they now don’t know what to do next, they just yelled, “Gaa-gaa-gaa”.
“Go! What are being dazed about!? Kill as many as you can right now…-ugh!”
“Y-Yes!”
In response to Malicia’s yell, the examinees went on the offensive in unison. The goblins outnumbered them, but the death of the Goblin Lord must have been a big deal. It was difficult for them to recover from the chaos and the tables were easily turned.
“Ga-gya-gya!”
“Gugya~~!”
“They’re going to run away!”
There are quite a few goblins running away. Goblins jump into a side hole like the offspring of a spider scattering. It would be a pain to annihilate them if they were scattered around the nest like this. I raised Lindwurm, which had returned to staff mode, and countless light blobs appeared at its tip.
“That baby…. what is he going to do this time?”
“Eh? W-What is this magical power… ?”
“Rather than that, this baby can even use magic!?”
I then unleashed the blobs of light.
“Tracking type wide-area extermination magic, —Hunting Shower!”
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do!!!!
Countless chunks of light were emitted, directly hitting and penetrating the goblin’s head one after another. The goblins that fled to the depths of the nest were no exception, they were firmly pursued and killed.
Well, since the opponent is a goblin, the power is quite suppressed. In my previous life, when I seriously unleashed it, I was able to annihilate about 90% of the horde of demons in a stampede of tens of thousands with a single blow.
For a while, we heard the “Gah!” and “Gugee!” screams coming from various places. After that, the goblin’s screams stopped and like a storm that has just ended, it became quiet. Just in case, I deployed my search spell to check if there was a goblin who escaped.
“……Un, I think I’ve defeated all the goblins in the den.”
I don’t feel any living presence from the holes. The purpose of this exam, the extermination of goblins, has now been completed.
“““……”””
Everyone looks at me in disbelief. I took away the opportunity for the other examinees to appeal, but it could not be helped as it was no longer a case where I could lay low. Many of them have been injured or have lost their will to fight due to the appearance of the Goblin Lord after all.
One of the most severely injured is the examiner, Maricia.
“Geez…. that went way beyond my expectation! That darn guild leader…. if there is such a dangerous guy, he should have told me in advance…………Gah-…”
Maricia collapses with a pale face. Her back, which had been slashed by the Goblin Lord, was stained bright red with her blood.
