Chapter 11 - Chaper 11 - Throne Room

After seeing the two goblin guards, everyone readied themselves for a fight.

Each goblin guard was holding a large club in their left hand.

They noticed us, and put the clubs on their left shoulders. They moved closer to us. Their appearance, even hideous than normal goblins.

They kept coming closer, and closer. But, before they could get close enough to everyone, the raid leader spoke in a calm tone, "They're not like your usual goblins, so stay on guard. They're much stronger than those weaklings. But…

The raid leader took out his long sword from it's sheath, and held it in his right hand before finishing his sentence.

He slightly crouched down, and with one single step, he closed the gap between him, and the goblin guards. And stood in front of one of the goblin guards, and raised his long sword in over his head. He swung his long sword down on the goblin guard. With a single, and clean swing of his sword, he cut the goblin guard vertically with ease.

… they're no match for me." He finally finished his sentence after decapitating one of the goblin guards.

No one was able to perceive his quick movements except for me, and Jasmine Sung until he stopped to finish off the goblin guard.

After noticing that his buddy was killed instantly, the other goblin guard let out a loud screech, but was stopped by the raid leader as he kicked him in the guts, and was sent flying into the wall.

"Let me help!"

Jasmine Sung said, and raised her right hand towards the goblin guard that was sent flying by the raid leader.

A ball of fire started to materialize on the surface of her hand.

"Fire Lance"

Her Fire Magic took the shape of a lance, and she launched it towards the goblin guard which pierced through it's chest.

After being pierced through the chest by a lance shaped fire, the goblin guard screamed as it's inside were now being burned.

"Tsk"

The raid leader clicked his tongue, and whispered, "Damn goblins", in a hateful voice before dashing toward the burning goblin guard, and piercing it's heart with his long sword, killing it.

He than put his long sword back in it's sheath.

"Don't burn the bodies completely."

The raid leader said, looking at Jasmine Sung.

"Yes. Understood, raid leader."

Jasmine Sung responded, calmly.

"Even with these damn things burned, they're corpses will still be useful to the association."

The raid leader added, looking down on the dead bodies of the goblins.

"Now, let's see what's waiting for us behind this door."

The raid leader said, calmly, and walked towards the huge door with weird rune symbols.

There was no door knob on the huge door for opening. So the only way to open it was by pushing it.

The raid leader put his hands on the door to push it open, but was stopped when he heard a voice from behind him.

"Raid leader, are you sure it's okay to go in there?"

One of the male F-Class Scythes asked.

Sensing his concern, the raid leader asked, "Why do you ask?"

"I feel a really dark energy coming from behind that door."

The same Scythe said, expressing his concern.

"So I wasn't the only one."

"Yeah. I feel it too."

"I feel creeped out by how dark it is."

"With how creepy it feels, I don't think this is an E-Class Wormhole Portal."

More Scythes expressed the same concern.

"You all are experiencing it for the first time than."

The raid leader said, calmly.

"Normally, all Scythes needs to do is kill the monsters inside the Wormhole Portal before they have enough time to come into our world. But, this is different from a normal raid. The monster behind this door is a Lord-Class monster whose dark energy you all are sensing. You should consider yourselves lucky to experience it first hand, because not many low class Wormhole Portals have lord-Class monsters."

The raid leader added.

All the F, and E-Class Scythes that mentioned the dark energy behind the huge door gulped, and gripped their weapons tightly.

"Either way, we have to kill them before they get access to our world."

The raid leader added, his expression, serious.

"Be ready for battle."

The raid leader said, getting everyone's attention.

"Yes sir!"

Everyone said, with a stern voice.

The raid leader finally pushed the huge door open from which came a flying fire ball straight toward him.

"Duck!"

The raid leader saw the incoming attack, and quickly dodged it, and shouted for everyone to dodge as well.

Some quickly moved out of the way, but some couldn't, getting injured as a result. And, falling on the ground.

They weren't seriously injured because their armor, and gear mostly protected them from the blast.

"What was that?!"

An E-Class Scythe shouted.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of the fire ball.

"Someone heal the wounded!"

The raid leader said, calling for someone to heal the injured.

"Yes! On it!"

A female D-Class Scythe named Marine Millers responded immediately.

She had long dark brown hair with brown colored eyes. She had a slim body of average height, and looked to be about 18 years of age. She was wearing a black, and pink outfit with tight black pants.

Marine Millers knelt down to the injured, and put her hands over them.

"Heal"

Bright light surrounded the injured, and covered their body with it.

Marine Millers used her Healing Magic to help, and quickly heal the wounded.

"Thank you"

The injured Scythes wasted no time in thanking her, and getting off the ground.

The interior behind the huge door resembled a throne room, but less fancy, less decorative, and mostly made out of stone instead of gold.

Far into the room was a throne occupied by a figure, and was surrounded by an army of goblins, and goblin guards who seemed to be protecting that figure from threats.

On the throne sat a much bigger, and many more times hideous goblin than the goblin, and goblin guards that were not so greatly guarding the huge door.

He sat on the throne as if he was a king. He wore a dark black cloak which suggested that he may be a shaman. But there was no way to know for sure unless confronted directly.
