The Goblin Who Throws a Mountain(3)

Fortunately, we didn’t need to search for the fusion monster mass that caused the Gate Break – we could find it as soon as we entered the gate.

How could we not see it when it was moving its massive body, larger than the rocky mountains?

The appearance of the monster whose entire huge body was made of water, with thousands of nuclei floating inside.

However, although we immediately discovered the fusion monster mass, I had to hurry because it showed movement as if chasing something.

“Yeon-ah! Is it okay if the mountains in this dungeon get a little damaged?”

“Ah, yes! As long as the dungeon itself doesn’t completely collapse, there’s no problem with the terrain being damaged.”

“Good, then both of you help me. So-eun, was it? I heard you can control earth too.”

Now that I had Yeon-ah’s permission, only preparation remained.

Of course, I could have directly jumped in and split the fusion monster mass’s head, but even for me, at this distance, it would take a full 30 seconds of running.

However, the monster was now raising water to prepare an attack on whatever it was chasing.

In other words, it meant there wasn’t much time left, so I wanted to try the best attack possible from a distance.

“Actually, it’s not really an attack…”

To explain more precisely, this was a kind of game.

But despite being a game, its destructive power was already more than sufficient, so my hesitation didn’t last long.

“You two! Help me cut the base of this mountain. I’m going to throw it at that guy.”

“Yes, understood.”

“Y-you’re going to throw this? Of course, if it’s your order…”

Yeon-ah, already accustomed to my outlandish actions, naturally answered and moved her hands.

So-eun made a very bewildered expression, but soon followed suit, adding her strength as Yeon-ah moved first.

Rumble—

With Yeon-ah’s power, replaced with the newly produced 93% synchronization rate mana stone, and So-eun’s power still using a 60% mana stone combined, half of the mountain’s base was quickly cut off.

Then I directly cut off the remaining half and supported the mountain that was about to fall to one side with my hands, and lifted it up.

“Heup!”

“Haa?! What is this…?”

So-eun shouted with her eyes wide open in disbelief as I, with a body of only 160cm, lifted a mountain approaching 500m.

Even in a world with supernatural abilities and highly developed science and technology, such a sight wasn’t natural, it seems.

However, unlike So-eun’s thoughts of admiration, even I, as the great chief, wasn’t holding such a large mountain with mere physical strength.

“As a goblin who rules the earth, lifting a mountain like this is simple.”

“W-well, I also handle earth, but that’s not simple at all…”

The reason I could easily lift the mountain was simply because I could freely control the earth.

Since goblins are yokai that dominate and freely use the four elements, lifting a mountain and settling it in my hands is nothing special.

At these words of mine, So-eun seemed to try to refute something, but as she trailed off, I couldn’t hear it properly.

Well, anyway, although I used my ability to lift the mountain, now it’s time to use the goblin’s strength to throw it.

“Then here I go!”

Looking at the fusion monster mass raising a huge wave in the distance, I released the power control I had been conscious of in my two legs standing on the ground and my right arm holding the mountain, and drew out my full strength.

Crack, the sound of muscles that had been suppressed normally being released is heard.

At the same time, the mountain fell from my hand that was swung with enough force for tendons to pop out, and flew through the air.

Whoosh—!!!!!

With a wind sound loud enough to split ears, the mountain flew across the sky and hit the fusion monster mass precisely.

Crash—!!!!!

Immediately after, the mountain that blew away the monster’s upper body with a pleasant roar.

Then, at the monster’s lower body staggering and collapsing ungracefully to the ground, I smiled, showing undeniable joy.

“Haha! Accurate.”

It was truly a perfect mountain throw.

---

So-eun had heard about goblin strength before.

As the Goblin Clan had risked their lives to help Korean citizens during the Gate Rampage era, many people had directly witnessed their fighting style, and as such, there was a considerable amount of information that had not been lost and was recorded in books.

And among them, So-eun had read in books that goblin strength was truly incomparable to any other different races, but honestly, she thought it was an exaggerated story of the older generation.

‘There are plenty of strong different races.’

There were countless races around the world that were evaluated as strong, such as the Giant Clan, Golem Clan, Oni Clan, and so on.

But to say that even such races couldn’t compare to the Goblin Clan.

At words that were hard to believe easily, So-eun had just thought that the evaluation of goblin strength was exaggerated due to the title of humanity’s heroes.

But now, right before her eyes.

Seeing Shin-yeon throw a rocky mountain far away, So-eun had no choice but to withdraw her thoughts so far.

Could the Giant Clan or Golem Clan throw a rocky mountain over 500m that far?

It’s absolutely impossible.

Of course, Shin-yeon said she borrowed the power of her ability up to the process of lifting the mountain, but in the process of throwing, she used purely her own strength.

The goblin in front of her threw the mountain as casually as throwing a baseball.

However, So-eun couldn’t imagine other races evaluated as strong throwing a mountain like Shin-yeon just now.

“This is the Goblin Clan…”

Truly a race at the top of the food chain that lacks nothing to be called legendary, and at the same time a race more truthful and overflowing with mercy than any other race.

So-eun, who had only encountered the past heroes in childhood fairy tales and history, couldn’t close her open mouth as she witnessed them before her eyes.

The numerous impressions received from Shin-yeon the goblin just wouldn’t stop coming out of her mouth.

But fortunately, should we say, seeing Shin-yeon suddenly narrow her eyes and start running towards the monster, So-eun had no choice but to forcibly close her mouth and move.

“Ancestor?!”

“That guy is still alive! We should finish it off before it recovers unnecessarily! Quickly follow me!!”

“What? Ah, yes!”

No, how did she know that from here where the view was blocked by the rocky mountain?

So-eun momentarily doubted if she had seen correctly, but before she could even try to put that doubt into words, the question couldn’t even rise to her throat as Shin-yeon instantly went ahead.

“Wh-why is she so fast…!”

Shin-yeon was going ahead at an explosive speed incomparable to when they had run from the tent to the gate earlier.

Even though she was raising the ground to use as a pedestal and exploding water to increase speed, the distance with Shin-yeon wasn’t narrowing, but rather growing further and further.

“Ye-Yeon-ah unnie…!”

“Haa… Let’s… hurry…!”

It was the same for Yeon-ah, who was flying beside her riding the wind.

Seeing Yeon-ah sweating profusely and urging the wind just like herself, So-eun felt a sense of relief from the sense of kinship and chased after Shin-yeon.

Fortunately, the distance to the monster wasn’t that far, and Shin-yeon stopped running just before losing sight.

“As expected, it was still alive.”

And as soon as Yeon-ah and So-eun barely arrived behind Shin-yeon, Shin-yeon looked at the lower body of the fusion monster mass that was starting to get up sluggishly, and jumped up from where she had stopped.

“I guess it won’t die until all those nuclei are destroyed?”

Although the fusion monster mass had only half its body and nuclei left after half its body was blown away by the mountain throw just now, it was still stronger than ordinary monsters.

A size of 300m, smaller than the mountain but still large, and about a thousand nuclei floating inside.

“Guooooooo!!!!!”

The fusion monster mass, which had regenerated its upper body with the remaining water, roared and fired water cannons at Shin-yeon who was jumping towards it, but…

“Against a goblin… attacking with water is useless!!!”

“Guooooo?!”

Gurgle—!!!

Before dozens of water cannons could reach Shin-yeon, they stopped in midair as if flowing backwards, then burst in the air.

Each was an attack reaching upper A-rank monsters, but when they were neutralized at once, the fusion monster mass let out a cry as if flustered.

However, before the monster could calm down and prepare something, huge sparks began to rise around Shin-yeon.

“Intense heat!”

At Shin-yeon’s shout that followed, the sparks burned fiercely and raised their momentum.

And the sparks that raised their momentum in tune with Shin-yeon’s swinging club formed the shape of a huge snake and swallowed the monster on the ground.

Roar—!!!!!

A snake of flames that devoured the monster while emitting tremendous heat enough to pierce the clouds in the sky.

Inside it, the water fusion monster mass vanished while evaporating without even being able to scream once, and only after devouring even the last remaining nucleus cleanly did the flame snake slowly scatter and fly away in the wind.

“Phew… Now it’s completely dead. There’s no possibility of it coming back to life.”

Then, landing where the monster had disappeared and stomping her feet, Shin-yeon muttered like that.

“Haha… This is something.”

“Hehe, you should get used to it quickly and accept it, So-eun.”

As So-eun burst into a hollow laugh for the umpteenth time at that nonchalant and naive appearance, Yeon-ah, who had been wearing a moved expression beside her, gave advice to So-eun.

Yeon-ah’s advice, adding that it was still amazing even though she had seen such sights several times already.

At Yeon-ah’s advice that felt like personal experience, So-eun just nodded.

“It really was a situation I was worried about how it would turn out…”

The unexpected situation of Gate Break.

Although So-eun had been very worried about this, she felt rather empty now that it was resolved so simply.

And So-eun couldn’t help but smile unconsciously as she looked at the back of the girl humming while fiddling with her club in front of her.

“The ancestor…”

Because that back of the girl called the ancestor felt so reliable.

The descendant embraced in those arms smiled.
