Chapter 10: Dungeon battle

Before Zeno had gone to sleep, he had stayed with Xera and talked about many things. They mostly talked about the projects that they will make in the future. Although Xera had access to the data base, Zeno discovered early that she lacks creativity. Although she was no robot, she was not as creative as Zeno.

Zeno reckoned hat if she was left to be, she might just copy earth as it is. So for the creativity of the world, it all came to him.

With he he talked about many projects. They made many projects and improved already existing ones. Many projects like 'GentleGiant', 'TyrantRex' and 'Magix' were born in that conversation.

Many were also improved. And the one of the improvements Zeno was adamant on seeing out, was the improvements on the goblins.

Zeno was going to keep the goblins more or less like normal and similar to his past life, but he suddenly remembered a certain novel in his past life.

Goblin Me.

The novel had many things. Reincarnation, system, fantasy and a lot more. But the one thing Zeno seemed very interested in was a certain species that appeared in there. They were the goblins.

The goblins in there were different. Instead of making them ugly and evil creatures, the author made them human-like and beautiful. Well, these characteristics were only for the females though.

He thought that since he was already making a goblin race, why not make them similar to the novel?

Xera of course agreed to his idea and adjusted the species to fit his wish.

Not long after, a proper race was born.

[Do you like them father?]

"They are perfect."

He looked down even closer and saw a certain scene happening below.

A group of goblins sneaked around in the forest. There was as many as 15 male goblin lead by one female goblin. These goblins crouched near a cave and watched it silently. Not far away, a deer lay dead with blood smeared on its body. Zeno turned interested as saw the creature that hid within the cave.

...

Erka crouched behind the bushes. Unlike the male goblins, she stood a few meters away from the cave. As she was a tad bit bigger than the male goblins, it would be easier to be noticed than them. Although, with her green skin, it was hard to be noticed in the forest, she can't be too cautious. After all, the enemy she was to face was no ordinary prey.

She lowered her head and watched the cave with her yellow sharp eyes. Her face and many parts of her body was marked by dark paint. Of which helped camoflouge her body. Her fur clothing was small and barely covered her body. Only her important parts seemed to have been considered when she was wearing them.

This choice of clothing led to her scars and hard muscles gained over years of battle to be shown. Of course, it was not only her scars and muscles shown, he bountiful thighs and mesmerising navel could be seen.

Other than her two wooden earrings and a necklace made of animal teeth, she wore no other accessories. Alyhiug both her wooded earings were woen on her left ear, it did not look unnatural at all. Her necklace of teeth seemed to have been contributed by many creatures. Among these many teeth, two seemed different. They were longer and more sharper than the rest. They seemed to have come from very terrfing creatures.

And today, she hoped to leave with one more.

In her hand, was a wooden spear. The spear had a sharp stone tip tied to it. The spear was alredy starting to wear down. The stone tip had some left over bloody marks. It seemed like this spear had accompanied her to some of her adventures.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, their prey showed itself.

From the dark cave, black scales walked to the light. The assortment of terrfing teeth was the first thing to be seen. These teeth were sharp and long. Always ready to shred flesh and drink blood.

Then came its 'hands.' Although most of them were webbed and no longer suitable to hold anything, two claws with long black nails were left. They were the only ones that did not contribute to forming the dark wings.

It looked around and stepped foward. It's body was then fully seen. A black reptilian body with scales all over. It had two wings for arms and two hind legs that seem like they knew how to grab. It had a long barbed tail that would surely shred flesh with a single attack.

If this creature had horns, then it would no doubt be a dragon. But because it did not have horns, it seemed more like wyvern than a dragon.

SCREECH!

It sounded its signature screech. Hoping to get whatever may be nearby to come out. It looked at the dead deer with desire in its eyes.

One must know that although the wyvern was strong and quite possibly one of the most dangerous creatures in the world, it does not have an easy life. Due to its large size, sneaking on prey has been hard and not at all easy. Although it has advantage in the night, many creatures had also adapted their own advantages. Not only that, goblins have been a bane in its life. Although these creatures are quite weak, they use those stick and sometimes craft methods to attack it.

Not long ago, this dragon was chased off its territory by another competitor. Although it managed to save its life, it had gotten an injury while escaping. Luckily though, it was almost fully healed now.

But because of its injury, it has not eaten in days. Today It had prepared to scout the area and see if there are any possible danger and preys. So it was famished.

Now a dead creature suddenly appeared in front of it. The wyvern was not dumb, it was not sure if this was one of the goblin's crafty methods.

But it was too hungry to care.

It stepped foward and went closer to the prey.

Suddenly...

Woosh!

The earth and leaves below its feet crumbled and fell down. Clearly, this was the old pit with spikes trap. With no support on its feet, the wyvern started falling down.

The wyvern screeched and flapped its wings. It used its claw like feet and grabbed the nearest edge of the pit. Seeing that it was in danger, the wyvern eared no time and used all its strength. With the support if its feet and wings, the wyvern was able to free itself temporarily from gravity. This short moment was long enough for it to get back on its feet.

Clearly, the trap had failed

But Erka never depended on the trap at all.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Many figure jumped out of the bushes and brandished their wooden spears. They threw them with their greatest strength towards the wyvern. The wyvern saw the multiple projectiles heading its way, closed its eyes and dodged their attackes.

The attacks barely left any scratched on its scaled body, but suddenly...

Bam!

A spear with a stone tip impaled its neck.

Screech!

The wyvern wailed. Blood spilled and covered its neck. It opened its eyes and saw what had hurt it so. It scanned the goblins below and saw the only one that could be the culprit. She looked bigger than the others so the dragon figured it could only be her that attacked it.

So it spread its wings and charged to her. One must say, the sight of a three meter draconoid creature charging at you was very scary. Erka of course was not scared. If she was, then the teeth on her neck would no doubt be fake.

Even though she was not afraid, she was not dumb. There was no way to face a wyvern with her strength only. Not even the queen dared do that, so how could she?

So he ran without a second thought. The other goblins did not stay idle either. They ran in separate directions.

The wyvern hit an unlucky goblin with its wing. Before the poor goblin could get up, it was stepped on by the wyvern.

The goblin did not manage to get up. So it stayed like that forever.

The wyvern continued chasing Erka. It's wings were too big and hindered its movement in the forest, so it folded its wings towards its body and streamed towards Erka.

Erka could be considered to be the fastest hunter in the horde, but even she was not confident in outrunning a wyvern. So it did not take long before the wyvern was close to chomping her head off. The wyvern opened its mouth and prepared to take her out.

But she suddenly slid on the ground. There in the ground she found her prepared spear. The wyvern on the other hand found a tight rope that tripped its feet.

Boom!

The wyvern fell directly to the ground. Erka took her chance and ran to the wyvern with her spear. Many other goblins came and surrounded the wyvern.

Even though the wyvern was strong, the odds did not seem good for it. But it was not down and out. The wyvern suddenly opened its mouth wide.

Whoosh!

Thick green smoke exuded from its mouth. Within a second, the whole place was covered in green smoke. The smoke was not friendly to the nose, so the goblins could not breath while it covered them. Many goblins coughed, but that was only the new goblins. The veteran goblins that have been following Erka did as she did...

Charge!

The wyvern was stabbed on the wing.

Screech!

It tried to remove its wing, by soon found out that it's wing was stuck. The spear had not only stabbed its wing, but also the ground. The spear was also crafted specifically to hold the wing down. So unless it wanted to tear down its webbed part, it could not leave without taking the spear out.

At that moment, the other veteran goblins stabbed the wyvern on its wings. Some went to its butt to poke its ass. As that was one of the few opening they could use to injure it. Wyvern itself was not weak. The goblins were thrown away with a turn of its wing. A goblin felt its head suddenly cave in when hit by the wyvern tail.

Bam!

The wyvern saw that it was in a dangerous situation, so it prioritized its freedom from all else, it craned its neck to bite the spear from its wing.

At that moment, a figure who disappeared in the smoke appeared. Erka grabbed the spear that stabbed the wyvern earlier. She pulled the spear and as quickly as she pulled it out, she stabbed it back in the wyvern's eye.

SCREECH!

The wyvern went crazy. In its pain, it ignore the pain from its wing and pulled it fiercely. It's wings was soon torn, but it did not care about that. Because it had a spear in its head. And because the spear was removed, blood gushed out like crazy from its head.

In its thrashing, it managed to land a luck strike on Erka.

Bam!

It's wing hit Erka on the head. Before she could register the pain, a foot was already headig her way. She instantly rolled. Saving her life in the process.

She got up immediately and ran towards her second spear. She held the spear and ran towards the wyvern..

The wyvern currently had its back on her. She saw this as a chance and jumped on its tail. Using its back as a trail, she ran to its head. Before she reached the head, she raised the spear and...

Jumped!
