The Devil Tears: Lord of the Night
Arc 1 Chapter 9: Hobgoblins

Liz POVs

Liz follows Edwin and soon they meet Ludwig and his colleagues, each holding a girl his age.

“Edwin they follow us prepare,“ Irwin warns Edwin to prepare.

“Good.“

But not long after 8 hordes of goblins came to them from the forest

“Abuggugrhahraaaa.“ 8 goblins instantly ran and showed their sharp claws

“You put the girl – girl in a safe place, Liz and I will hold them back,“ Edwin said

“Alright, we'll be right back,“ Ludwig said.

Without waiting for them to discuss 5 goblins directly approached them while the rest attacked Liz.

“Cepattttt!!! “ they rushed to leave Liz and Edwin both

3 The goblin first arrives and tries to thrust its paws at Liz

“Abugugrharara “

Seeing the 3 goblins attacking him as Liz dodged their attacks and waited for the right time for a counterattack. Then one of the goblins jumped towards Liz and blocked Liz's view to see the movement of the remaining 2 goblins.

However, Liz uses the technique she saw when Sparing with Ludwig. Liz dodged quickly and then slashed her sword with both hands and decapitated the goblin in front of her. Not only that Liz continued her attack slashing the head of the second goblin next to her.

“Gagrggagrhharubu.“ The goblin that jumped earlier turned around and tried to escape, but Liz was still faster and thrust her sword into the goblin's back earlier.

Then Liz saw the condition of Edwin's distress against 4 of the remaining 5 goblins, he also moved to stomp his feet and attack the goblins that surround Edwin.not long after they beat all the goblins that attacked them

“Hey, is it true that you are just learning a sword? “ instead of thanking him, Edwin was surprised to see the ability of a girl much younger than him.

“Daddy,“ briefly reply Liz.

Not too long later they saw the goblins coming back and this time around 20 goblins.

“Grabugahgrgha“ this time goblins – goblins that come some use weapons

Liz and Edwin are back.

This time they were troubled because they were outnumbered, even Liz was hit by several goblin incisions. Then then the help they needed came from the back of the goblins that swarmed them.

A slashh! Slassh! Slasssh! Ludwig and the others also open the goblin siege of Liz and Edwin.A part of the goblin shifts its focus towards their new enemy. Liz took advantage of this situation and quickly began to slash the goblins. Slassh! Slassh! The slash!! Chop!! Chop!! Chop

Not long after, they managed to defeat the goblins.

“Thank you Ludwig and others,“ Liz smilingly thanked him.

“Hei Liz, you can already use the technique I showed you during sparring.“ Ludwig was surprised to see Liz who could already master the hard-earned techniques he had learned.

“Hosh... After fighting with as many goblins, I was tired,“ complained Edwin while sticking his sword to the ground.

“Grhrahguubah “ their conversation should stop as 10 armed goblins and muzzle armor.

“It looks like the real fight just started , after this fight we will get stronger,“ said Ludwig confidently while clasping his sword tightly.

“Yes sure,“ Liz has the same determination.

**********

At the same time, Luciel went into the forest looking for something, and opened a bottle and sowed it into the surrounding trees.

“I hope it won't take long to lure him here.“ Luciel from a distance had already heard the sound of the battle and hoped that Liz and the others were good – was fine.

After waiting for 5 minutes there was a bear cub approaching and began licking – licks of the tree that Luciel had sprinkled his potion.

“Aauuu!? “ A throwing arrow that has been smeared with an anesthetic is stuck on the neck of the bear.

Before he could shout the bear cub, he fell down and fell asleep on the ground.

Luciel then went down and began to wade the bear.

**********

Goblins - powerful goblins kept popping up and now the six of them were fighting with goblins that were somewhat bigger and stronger than usual plus they were using weapons and armor

“We can do this we kill them all,“ said Ludwig trying to post their morals.

After fighting for 10 minutes they managed to defeat the goblins.

“Hah... hah.. You all are okay - what? “ Ludwig asked the state of his colleagues - his colleagues with gasping breath - somehow.

“Only minor injuries and I am very tired,“ Edwin said.

“Yes, who would have thought fighting goblins could be this difficult,“ added Eze.

“Hey Liz how about you?“ Ludwig approached Liz.

“Nothing – what, I guess I can still fight again.“ Among them the six Liz was the one who moved the most and previously she held the goblins for them.

But Liz was the freshest after the battle.

“Ludwig.“ Edwin called Ludwig to stand by as a 2.5-meter tall creature carrying a large mace.

“Groaarhhh! “ Hobgoblin was running and targeting Edwin who looked the most exhausted of the six of them.

Edwinpun was surprised and did not expect that hobgoblin can be that fast despite its large body. Hobgoblin was already in front of him and was about to hit Edwin with his giant Full Swing.

“I won't let you buarrrhgggg!!!“ Eze intercepted the attack that would lead to Edwin with his sword, but Hobgoblin's punch was too strong to break his sword and make him bounce into a tree.

“Ezeee!!! “ Ludwig calls his bouncing friend.

“Edwin run from there!!“ The hobgoblin then prepared to destroy Edwin and began to raise his rock

“The goblin's attack was together – equals!“ the four of them then ran towards the hobgoblins and attacked the hobgoblins. But the Hobgoblins turned their swing towards Irwin.

“Takkkk!!! Irwin dodge!“ Ludwig tried to warn Irwin, but it was too late.

“Craackkkkkk!!! “ the goblin mace landed right on Irwin's head until it broke his head.

Blood was covered and there was the rest of Irwin's brain on the goblin mace

“I won't forgive you!!!” Ludwig rampaged him and Landolf attacked the hobgoblin

“Edwin we have to help them.“ Liz helped Edwin stand up.

“Arghhhhh, shit! She's strong once.“ Ludwig and Landofl bounced.

‘ Must be how this ‘ Liz heart pounding more and more rapidly increasing her passion in the fight.

“Me and Liz will shift her focus, Edwin and Landolf get ready to attack her when she is off guard.“ Ludwig tells his partner a plan to fight the hobgoblins. However, hobgoblins did not wait for them to finish speaking. He immediately ran towards them preparing to swing his drum.

“Liz, we hit the gun hard together - sama.“ Ludwig and Liz ran and prepared to resist the hobgoblins

The clangg! Ludwig and Liz jerked while holding down Hobgoblin's Cada ‘ Successfully ‘ thought Ludwig.

“Now!!! “

A slash! A slash! Edwin and Landolf who had prepared behind them slashed into Hobgoblin's stomach.

“Sial! We can only scratch her skin, she's too hard!“ edwin's Complaints.

Not long after, Hobgoblins began to aggressively attack Edwin. Knowing the opponent - his opponent could not hurt him hobgoblin began to attack blindly.

“Sial!“ The exhausted Edwin started running

But when their situation was already very bad, some goblins emerged from the forest.

Liz set her foot running faster and attacked the hobgoblin from behind. Noticing Liz's movements, Hobgoblins turned around and swung their wheels at Liz. However, Liz managed to avoid it by using quickstep and then tried to thrust her sword towards the hobgoblin's eyes before her.

However, due to the high differences that far Liz struggled to achieve.

“Edwin, Landolf, you fight the smaller goblins, me and Liz will fight the hobgoblins.“ Edwin then prepares to fight the 3 armored goblins heading towards him while Landolf fights the 4 armored goblins.

Ludwig believed if they could defeat the hobgoblins, they could turn things around.

“Liz! I will use my strongest technique,“ Ludwig said.

“Alright! I trust you Ludwig.“

Liz then advances against Hobgoblin to give Ludwig a gap, Liz uses Quickstep and grips her sword using both hands, each swing of the Gada, and then the other, he turned with his firm grip in order to avoid the powerful swing of the hobgoblin.

The ability that Liz displayed was extremely impossible even for the Roaring wolf members.

But the body of Liz who had fought for a long time and always used Quickstep began to fatigue. Liz set foot on the ground after deflecting the hobgoblin's mace and then slid off to target the hobgoblin's eye.

A grippp!

However the hobgoblins managed to hold Liz's sword using her hand.

The hobgoblin then throws Liz down loud. However, that was the plan from the beginning so that the hobgoblin view was blocked and Ludwig could do the technique.

“Kill him, Ludwig!!!“ shouted Liz who was lying on the ground

“Feel this shit! Rageeeeeee!!!“ Ludwig leapt out his sword vertically and struck right at the head of the hobgoblin.

Blood flowed from the head to the Hobgoblin's mouth, and Hobgoblin grinned as he licked his lips.

“No mungk— Bughhhh!!!" Ludwig bounced, Hobgoblin kicked Ludwig hard, breaking some of his bones

Ludwig looked at the other friends. Edwin was further cornered and then a goblin stuck his spear into Edwin from behind to penetrate his stomach.

“Agghhhhh please!! Helpg!! Nokk!“ Landolf was being eaten by several goblins starting from his hands and stomach, he was still alive when the goblins started eating him. The sound of footsteps was pointing at him.

Seeing this creepy scenery Ludwig first felt the horror of the monster.

“No!!! Don't come any closer! Please!!!" louis shouted hysterically

“Stay away from him you ugly creature!“ Liz then ran to try to fight the hobgoblins, but with the injuries she received earlier, the hobgoblins managed to easily catch her. When the hobgoblin was about to move he fell silent for a while.

“Aghubugra grakraa agubuhu. “ he spoke to the goblins – goblins who were preying on Edwin and Landolf. They then went to carry the bodies of – Ludwig's colleagues and began to leave the place of battle

“No - no!!! Lower me! Ludwig please! I don't want to be a monster prisoner anymore please “ hobgoblins start taking Liz into the forest

“No!!! Just stop! Help meu!!“ Liz's scream was still heard but Ludwig was still motionless and trembling.
