Chapter 11

'the sword has been retrieve, finally time to retreat' exclaimed silreon while busily waving his staff, casting magic spell to another wave of enemy and his mana is about to deplete, since he was just near the cliff he uses his bit remaining mana to cast wind stride on himself, wind stride magic is a wind propelled magic, by casting wind magic on the focused feet of the target, the whole body will be propelled into the sky.

As he flies through the sky dodging incoming barrage of arrows, he was about to reach the end but one fleeting arrow hit his core, every monster has a core which is equivalent to as there heart, once destroyed, his death is predetermined, he didn't even know his killer, as his consciousness finally lost it's light.

Around somewhere near the armory tent, two familiar soldier, one holding a longbow and the other holds a composite bow.

"amazing, sir Dyruf, I never thought your accurate shot killed the fleeing magireon, but no fair, you didn't even coated your longbow with battle force, how come it shoots farther while maintaining constant speed" complained kentil.

"ha-ha, kentil that's why you should train hard and learn the difference between weapon types, look you let that monster from dragonite race go, why did you even pick up composite bow?"

"with my pull strength, I feel composite bows is compatable with me, it's just that the dragonite is just slippery in the air, although I manage to injured him but he still fly high at the cliff, unlike you, you actually destroyed the crystal core of magireon race"

"that's why you should practice, you already know that most of the people lord felix are elites of their own field, just like haryuu, he might be a simple foot soldier in this expedition force but he was once renowned as a wandering bladesman of shiki"

"shiki? Is it the town in the principality of koryuu where rumored to be a warrior town with people of a bloodline of ancient bladedancer"

"yes, from what I know, he possible inherit the bloodline by training frequently at the midsection of sky mountain"

"such a strong person I wonder why he was here" spoke kentil while stufipied knowing many soldiers in this force wasn't just normal.

"there is also many others as strong as him here, lord felix might also ask them a favor like he did to us and accepted it"

The two was still talking outside the armory while the other soldier started to bring their spears and swords outside because a small monster wave suddenly occurs, the two talking soldier was interrupted by their captain.

"you two quit idling and move into position in the battlefield"

"yes, sir" the two saluted and made haste to reach the border of the camp.

"hey jhorl, will sir silreon and the others be alright? Will they succeed? Can they bring human meat?" garc was speaking while steadily watching from the woods about the camps situation.

"I'm sure they will succeed, and bring the sword not human meat, and garc you should stop eating human meat, they taste bland and disgusting even if cooked and do you know what the birdman doctor told us?"

"what did those quack doctor said"

"human meat can cause cancer to our intelligence, our intelligent lifespan might reduce if we keep eating them, that must be the reason your dumb, I suggest you stop talking about eating then"

"said someone who always eat them just about 3 months ago!" refute garc in disagreement about the latter.

"what are you talking about? I already stopped when the birdman doctor told me about when I consulted about the reason I'm being dumb recently which it not usual to me, as soon as I finished the 1st demonic cycle, my mind became clear and my stupidity is gone, so you should stop it, your already at the 2nd demonic cycle yet your still struggling with your stupidity, what if your intelligence lifespans expired, you might forever become a mindless monster who keeps attacking, we aren't monster like the humans said, we're demons and the monster were those whose intelligence depleted"

"your right, jhorl....look iruk is coming" garc spotted iruk sneakily head on their way to inform him.

"jhorl, I spotted some smoke in the camp! And some outside guard's are getting in" the other hobgoblin spoke hastily.

"ohh, it's must be the signal, I hope all of you survive, let's go" jhorl carried his big axe and the others followed gripping their weapons in their hand as they march on the camp, the forces then came to counter their entrance towards the gate, in this fight.

Jhorl the ogre died and a few other hobgoblins, it was a bloody skirmish sprinkling the ground with green and red bloods the small monster group retreated when they had a chances good thing they weren't pursued by the humans any further as they met up in the cliff region with only 15 survivors, 5 including garveron escaped from sneaking the inside, not without any injuries, garc managed to survived but has received minor cuts on his body, it seems besides the hobgoblins, the sole bugbears manage to survive.

"sir silreon.... Didn't make it" spoke garveron with a sad expression.

"what?! Jhorl is dead, and now sir silreon too, wasn't he a competent mage?"

"were merely mortal beings, such death is unavoidable, once the core of us demons, unless we obtain the sacrificial core that legend say to be obtain after transcending to true demonic core foundation, we can revived after putting the substitute core from a safe place" explained garveron.

"sir garveron your so knowledgeable, there such a legend like that" garc replied.

"i see it's good to see you alive but, who is that creature in your back?" asked garveron with a puzzled look.

"Kweeh?"
