Chapter 815 The Hidden Ace

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

—The 'Crimson Witches' have killed the [Elite Goblin Knight]. All members are rewarded with 10 Gold Coins and 100,000 Experience Points.

—Received [Cursed Broadsword] x 1

—Received [Random Evolution Stone] x 1

The Goblin King didn't react much when the giant goblin swordsman finally fell helplessly to one of Crystal's light arrows, and just waited 'patiently' for Emilia's response.

Based on what he'd seen so far, he didn't believe that she could remain calm for long when faced with the 'well-being' of her 'friends'. It was such an obvious weakness, to the point where the Goblin King felt it would be a mistake to not make use of it.

As he expected, the na?ve little elf in front of him really wavered once she realized that the fate of her teammates was also on her shoulders, and slumped her shoulders in defeat. "I-I… If I do as you say, will you really let them go…?"

The Goblin King grinned. "Of course."

Watching her trudge over to the boss, Danielle, Nico, and Robin couldn't help but panic.

"Emilia?!"

"No! Don't listen to him!"

Although this was only a 'game', and they wouldn't really suffer 'physically' no matter what they went through in this 'world', the sensations and feelings that they experienced within Arcadia were no different from the real world.

If Emilia was really 'humiliated' by the monster in front of them, it would definitely leave some deep scars in her mind. And knowing that it would all be because of them only made them feel a hundred times worse.

"That perverted monster is trying to trick you!"

"Y-You… idiot!!!"

'What happened?!'

His desperate thought was soon answered by a system prompt, but it didn't bring the boss any relief. If anything, it left him even more dumbfounded.

—The [Goblin King] received 6360 points of [Dark] damage.

—The [Goblin King] has been afflicted by [Lethal Poison], and will receive 1% of his own max health as damage every second until cured or dead.

"!!!"

"Nice one, Sylvia!"

"Good job!"

Whether it was the massive amount of damage that shaved off a good chunk of his health, or the fatal 'curse' that had now seeped into his blood, neither of them seemed to make any sense to the Goblin King.

It was true that he had forgotten about the dark-haired girl who attacked him, but how could she deal such a ridiculous amount of damage to him with just one hit? Even the much stronger enemies from other 'invading' teams could only deal a thousand or so damage at a time, and that was after using some skills, at least.

Obviously, he had no idea that Sylvia's high conceal, when combined with her own skills and sense, allowed her to look for the perfect opportunity to deal the most critical strike that she possibly could. And when combined with the bonus attack and poison damage from her bow, [Sylvan Strike], the effect was even more astonishing.

Moreover, Sylvia had also done her best to sneak in a few shots on the distant goblins at the start of the fight whenever they'd been 'distracted' by Emilia, so she also had almost a hundred stacks on her [Ring of Purity], increasing her [Dark] element damage by nearly a hundred percent.

The most 'tragic' of it all, however, was the fact that the Goblin King himself had given Sylvia her greatest 'damage boost'. After all, greatly amplifying his [Light Resistance] wasn't without its trade-offs, one of which included reducing his [Darkness Resistance] to negative.

It was only now that he realized that the price he paid for being able to stand confidently in the face of those arrows was really too steep. But unfortunately, it was too late.

Emilia was too close to him now, and easily took advantage of the opportunity, her previously 'delicate' mood nowhere in sight. And even the dark-haired girl who ambushed him dealt another strike while he was too stunned to move.

This time, the damage was much more 'sensible', but when the effects of Emilia's [Poison Fang] combined with the two 'poisons' already on the Goblin King, he really panicked.

The 'death' of his subordinates had always felt like a trivial matter to him. After all, they should all 'revive' soon after, anyway. But when he faced the 'reaper' himself, even the King of Goblins couldn't maintain his composure.

"You annoying little fly, how dare you?!" He screamed hysterically, swiping wildly with his claws while compressing a huge amount of magical energy within himself.
