Chapter 417: The Half-Kobold Monster



Chapter 417: The Half-Kobold Monster

The winged goblin monarch released a burst of wind from its palm to extinguish the flames on the two-headed ogre warrior’s body.

Whoosh!

What?!

Lucas was stunned.

It actually managed to extinguish the draconic lion’s flames with just one move!

“Stand back! Don’t come closer!” Lucas warned his troops while keeping his eyes on the Catastrophe-grade monsters.

The warriors didn’t question his orders and retreated to a safe distance. Their instincts were screaming at them that the two monsters that had emerged from the nest were formidable beasts.

It would be unwise for them to approach Lucas as they would only be a hindrance.

After warning his troops, Zephyr landed before Lucas and growled at him as if it wanted to say something.

Lucas was baffled. He couldn’t understand what it was trying to say.

Zephyr revealed a look of dissatisfaction, but it lowered its body and called out softly to Lucas.

“I understand now. You want me to ride on your back?” Lucas finally realized what it was trying to convey.

The draconic lion nodded its head.

Seeing this, Lucas no longer hesitated. With a ’whoosh’, he jumped onto Zephyr’s back.

Roarr!!

The draconic lion let out an ear-piercing roar that shook the forest. It then flew into the sky and circled above the Catastrophe-grade beasts, eyeing them coldly with its beastly eyes.

Lucas could see the whole battlefield from his viewpoint.

We must kill those monsters to win this battle!

Thinking about this, he brandished his sword and released a fearsome gust of wind that rotated like a sharp blade.

Whoosh!

The winged goblin monarch imbued mana into its arm and summoned its own innate ability.

It conjured a terrifying wind that clashed against Lucas’s wind blade.

Boom!

As soon as the two attacks collided, the air exploded.

A violent shockwave erupted, causing small debris to fly in all directions.

Lucas’s cape fluttered vigorously as he looked down at the winged goblin monarch.

Just like the monster he had faced several months ago, this thing was also overwhelmingly powerful.

This will be a hard battle.

He took a deep breath as he communicated with Zephyr.

“Zephyr, let’s focus our attack on that ogre. It’s already exhausted so it won’t be able to defend itself.”

Upon hearing his words, Zephyr roared and swooped down like an eagle.

Whoosh!

It opened its mouth and spat out a breath of flames.

Meanwhile, Lucas focused his attacks on the winged goblin monarch to prevent it from protecting the ogre.

With a series of wind blades, the winged goblin monarch was forced to defend itself.

At this moment, the ogre was about to be engulfed by flames when a mana barrier suddenly appeared around it, encasing its body like an indestructible shield.

Boom!

It’s that half-kobold monster!

Lucas frowned after witnessing the scene.

As if sensing his gaze, the half-kobold monster lifted its huge head and smirked at him.

“Human, do you think we can’t kill you because you’re riding that lion?” A voice suddenly echoed in his mind, startling him.

Mental communication!

Lucas’s face darkened as he looked at the half-kobold.

Out of nowhere, an oppressive aura came crushing upon them like a collapsing mountain.

Zephyr was caught unprepared by the suppressive force. It tried to resist the suppression, but it soon plunged to the ground under the crushing pressure.

“Zephyr!” Lucas shouted and helped the beast overcome the pressure, but it was futile.

The draconic lion fell heavily to the ground.

Bang!

Lucas managed to save himself, but the draconic lion wasn’t as lucky.

After falling from such a height, it broke almost half of its bones. If it hadn’t cushioned its fall with mana, it would have been left half-dead.

“Zephyr!”

Lucas rushed to the creature and checked its injuries.

Oh no! With its wounds, it would be difficult for it to fly any time soon.

His face fell.

Suddenly, Lucas raised an eyebrow and twisted his body to the side.

Bang!

He turned his head and saw the winged goblin monarch retracting its long, sharp claws.

Can I even defeat these monsters now that Zephyr is wounded?

Lucas stared deeply at the approaching winged goblin monarch.

This thing is already bad news and there is still that beast waiting for the opportunity to attack me.

While thinking about this, he glanced at the half-kobold that was watching them with interest.

What should I do?

Lucas furrowed his eyebrows, sweat trickling down his face.

All of a sudden, the winged goblin monarch pounced at him and swiped its claws.

Whoosh!

The force behind its claws caused the air to fluctuate intensely.

Facing its attack, Lucas lifted his shield and imbued it with his mana to activate its engraved ability.

Screeech!

A terrible scraping sound echoed as its claws struck his shield.

Lucas’s feet were buried deeply in the ground due to the strong force.

Gritting his teeth, he pushed off the creature with his shield and took a huge leap backward to gain some distance.

He looked down and saw deep claw marks on the surface of his shield. This was a relic, but the winged goblin monarch almost penetrated through his defenses.

I can’t defeat it on my own.

Just then, he felt a presence behind him.

He instinctively rolled to the side and narrowly evaded the punch of the two-headed ogre warrior.

Bang!

A deep crater was formed on the place where he just stood.

How can it still move?

He looked at the severely injured ogre in surprise.

Its body was covered in ugly burn marks. One of its heads was also covered in pus and blood, making it look more hideous.

“Human warrior, die!” Enraged, the two-headed ogre charged at him and swung its fists aggressively.

Lucas nimbly evaded its punches. He could block them with his shield, but he didn’t want to waste his mana.

How can it be this strong when it’s already severely wounded?

Lucas found himself in a tough spot now that two Catastrophe-grade monsters had teamed up against him.
