The Villainess With A Heroine Harem



━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The two 'leader' goblins obviously understood that Emilia must be using some sort of ability to make everyone focus only on her, but they didn't worry about it too much.

After all, compared to [Inferior Goblins], saying that each one of the [Goblin Elites] was at least ten times stronger would still be an understatement. They didn't believe that the 'little girl' in front of them could handle so many for long.

However, they soon realized just how greatly they'd underestimated the firepower of Emilia's team.

"Focus Shot!"

"Fireball!"

They might not have been as 'skilled' as some of the players in the hero's party, but none of Emilia's teammates could be considered weak.

Even when dealing with a powerful group of enemies such as the one in front of them, their damage was far from falling short. Danielle's fireball boosted by her being a 'Pyromancer' could easily deal almost four times the damage of a 'regular' mage of the same element, and there was no second ranger in Arcadia who could deal even a fraction of the damage that Crystal could with her focus shot.

The hundred points of 'Intelligence' from [Wisdom] might not matter much a few years down the line, but at this stage, to call it 'game changing' wouldn't be an exaggeration.

What was supposed to be thin needles of light that would at most shave off a tenth of a goblin elite's HP became a searing spear that obliterated almost half a dozen of them in one go.

In fact, if not for most of the [Goblin Elites] being fast enough, a single shot from Crystal might already have cleared at least a tenth of the horde.

Even the healer in their team was smacking the heads of [Goblin Elites] with her staff, making the usual sturdy and vicious warriors cry out in pain.

The fact that they couldn't even turn around to fight back because of Emilia's [Challenger's Charm] leaving them completely 'captivated' only made it worse.

The two giant goblins couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"What the fuck?!"

They were clearly the most basic of skills, but the damage they inflicted on the elite goblins completely overturned everything that the two giant goblins understood from watching other teams fight.

"That… focus shot… doesn't it only leave a skin-deep wound on the elites?"

"I-It should…"

"And that fireball, too… it's clearly too strong!"

As for the healer girl making the goblins cry with her staff… the goblin mage found it too ridiculous to even mention. Presumably, the girl's weapon must have some sort of pain amplification ability, though he had no idea why a supposed healer would ever carry around something like that.

"I don't get it… weren't they supposed to be so weak that the boss had to have them 'escorted'…?"

"…" The warrior goblin didn't speak this time, but even with his 'ugly' face, his deadpan expression made no secret of his thoughts.

Between the two of them, shouldn't the 'mage' be telling him more about these things instead of being so confused? And no matter what, it wasn't their turn to question the decision of the boss, or even try to guess his thoughts.

If the boss was watching them, which he always was, he would definitely think they were both incompetent fools. As for the consequences of disappointing the King of Goblins… he shuddered just thinking about it.

"That's enough, we can't play around anymore! Let's quickly capture that red-haired elf and crush those little ants!"

The goblin mage also came back to his senses, and nodded furiously. "You charge ahead, I'll start channeling."

No matter how engrossed Emilia was in her own fight, it was impossible for her to not notice the giant goblin's roar and charge. But unfortunately, while she could weave in and out of the most lethal of the attacks around her, there was no way for her to completely avoid this one.

Whether it was the giant spiked flail or the massive body of her charging opponent, there was just not enough space for her to maneuver out of their way.

Her allies also saw her situation, and their hearts constricted with fear.

"Emilia!"

"Watch out!"

Although it was only a 'game', the pain they would experience made it impossible to truly treat it like that. And watching the girl they cherished so much getting crushed was definitely not something they could bear.

Even Sylvia and Robin almost canceled their skills to try and come to the crimson-haired elf's rescue. But fortunately, Emilia managed to react in time and give them a reassuring smile.

She didn't have the time to speak before the charging giant slammed into her, but it was obvious from her expression what she meant.

"Trust me."

The resounding bang shocked Emilia's teammates and the goblins alike, and they almost couldn't believe it when they saw the tiny little elf steadily holding back the giant goblin with just the flat end of her sword.

It was only then that Danielle was able to remember the ability of Emilia's [Ring of Might].

When facing a stronger opponent, it greatly increased the chance for her to resist stagger and crush effects. Though it only worked at most once every sixty seconds, when it did, the effect looked almost miraculous.

The magician goblin's chant had come to a halt along with his thoughts, and even the giant warrior goblin and the other elites around him didn't come back to their senses until Emilia had already stabbed him almost five in quick succession with her [Poison Fang].

"…"

The crimson-haired girl giggled as she dodged the jagged swords of the goblin elites who finally came back to their senses. "… Ehehe…"

Even if they were able to make her bleed quite frequently despite her speed and reflexes, with Nico's healing always focused on her, it wasn't something she was overly worried about.

The giant goblin warrior in front of her sneered. "Little girl… it seems we really underestimated you. But… all you've managed to do now is to piss me off, and doom yourself to a fate far more painful than it would otherwise have been."

The expression of the other giant goblin was also grim, and he not only resumed channeling his spell, but the flow of the dark energy around him also increased substantially.

In response, however, Emilia just grinned. "Which one of us is doomed… I'm sure you'll soon find out."
