8 – Persistence

"Hey, you, ugly *ss goblin!!!" Nora yelled louder until her voice was hoarse. "Come here!!! Stick your d*ck into my *sshole!!!"

"Err…. Isn't that too much, Nora?" Hannah looked worried for her friend.

Nora snorted. "This is to get his attention!!! And why don't you scream!!??"

The three people continued to shout and berate the goblin. The green monster looked increasingly irritated and finally approached the adventurers. Elise, who was peeking again, instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is not the time to relax. You must carry out my plan, now!" Raymund gave the order.

Grasping the hilt of her sword tightly, Elise came out of hiding, trying to ignore her chaotic feelings. She limped along, desperately trying to get her steps back to normal. And when she got to the street, the woman was able to walk normally, though with increasing pain.

"Just a little more, Elise." The young woman whispered to herself a second time.

Now she looked at the broad back of the goblin. The green monster staggered towards the adventurers, who were still screaming.

"Remember your training, Elise. You can definitely do this. After all, I'm the one that chose you." Raymund gave words of encouragement in a warm tone.

Elise sneaking, approached the goblin. Her hand gripped the hilt of the sword even tighter. That woman couldn't calm down yet, but she had no choice. Thus, she started running.

Elise's swift footsteps made the goblin face the woman. However, Elise had already jumped up and drew her sword forward. The sword plunged into the monster's left chest, piercing all the way to his back.

"Graaaahhhh!!!" The goblin roared and finally collapsed.

Elise's grip slipped from the sword's hilt. The woman immediately fell to the ground, almost out of breath. Her eyes focused on the blood pool flowing from the goblin's chest wound.

"S-she did it!" Hannah jumped for joy.

However, did Raymund's chosen woman really succeed?

Suddenly the goblin's body twitched, triggering Elise to inched backward. Her mouth fell open as the monster started to rise again.

"What the fuck!" Raymund was utterly speechless. He didn't expect that the initial mission would be this difficult. Maybe choosing hard difficulty early in the gameplay is a bad thing?

No. If he can choose the difficulty in the initial mission, there is a way to solve it.

So, does Elise have to pull the sword from the enemy's chest? No, it's very risky. Doing so meant that Elise had to be so close to the goblin from the front. No one knew what the monster would do.

Perhaps Elise needed to use something else as a weapon? But, what should Elise use?

And finally, an idea popped into Raymund's mind. The neck of the goblin was only slightly larger than that of a human. "Take off your pants, Elise."

The brown-haired woman immediately froze. "E-excuse me?"

"Take off your pants and use them to strangle the goblin's neck from behind. If you use your shirt, it will take time. You have to take off your armor first." Raymund's words sounded like a machine gun because they were so fast. "I'm sorry for asking you to do such a shameful thing in public. However, I'm not sure you'll be able to find a rope or something like that quickly around there."

Elise covered her red and hot face. She couldn't believe she had to do such a shameful thing. Unfortunately, again, she had no choice. The monster had already started to kneel and would probably be standing on two legs in a few moments. Yes, he does look weak right now, but that doesn't mean the situation is entirely under control. It could be that he will do something unexpected, such as when his attacks are getting faster, even though his body has just been struck by lightning.

So, despite extreme reluctance, she began to lower her pants.

"Why is she taking off her pants at a time like this!?" Alex was so taken aback.

"Hey, what are you doing!?" Nora asked when Elise had lowered her pants almost to her knees.

"I will use my pants to strangle this monster…." Elise hastily covered her mouth. She felt so stupid that she had just leaked the secret to the monster. The young lady could only hope that the goblin couldn't hear it.

"Don't let your epic fight end with something ridiculous!" Nora snorted, then took off her shirt and threw it at Elise. "Just use this."

Alex couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief, while Hannah couldn't help but stare at Nora's chest, which was only covered by a cloth bra. The archer's breasts weren't too big, but that didn't mean they weren't beautifully shaped.

"Thanks!" Elise caught the shirt, and hastily adjusted her pants. However, when she was about to attack, she found that the goblin was already standing tall, still with the sword stuck in his chest.

"He's still not fully awake, Elise!" Raymund screamed. "Jump!"

So, according to her master's words, Elise jumped onto the goblin's back.

"Graahhh!!!" The goblin tried to untangle the shirt around his neck.

"Taste this!" Alex pierced the monster's chest with his spear, next to Elise's sword.

Instead of falling, the monster gave a deafening roar. That creature then moves and runs wildly in various directions.

"Don't let him go, Elise!" Raymund shouted for the umpteenth time.

Elise desperately maintained her position to strangle the enemy. However, she struggled because the monster's movements were getting crazier.

Elise's pain was multiplied when her body hit a wooden pillar of a house. However, she persisted in strangling the enemy's neck.
