The Story Of Jammetaria
CHAPTER 08 - The First Mission

Early in the morning the three of them were already standing in front of the guild request board, with still a large selection of missions that could be taken.

"So... What are we taking today ?" Eliana asked.

"What if that was it." Henry pointed to a paper and read it.

"Exorcising the dragon that attacked the village, in return for 100 Gold coins"

"BRINK IT !!! "

"WE'RE STILL HENN'S BEGINNERS…"

"yes, brother, sorry.."

"well then we take the easy first, such as slime hunting how ?" Audrey interrupted.

"If it's too easy, Audrey.., which makes more sense, no matter where we're ranked C."

"If this is how it is." Audrey finds a mission that catches the eye and reads it.

"The annihilation of the goblins, still left about 30 goblins, rewards 3 silver coins for 1 goblin head brought, there is no minimum amount for the goblin head brought, the location of the abandoned gold mine ."

"OK, take it right away..."

They both agree. Audrey took the paper and they took it to the reception.

"Excuse me, we want to take this mission."

"Okay, please wait a minute"

The guild officer put a stamp on the paper indicating the mission had been taken. After that the three of them immediately left for the intended location.

The location in question is a gold mine that was abandoned not long ago.

This time they set off unhurriedly, trying to enjoy their first mission. They walked towards it, trying to feel what it was like to have another adventurer party that not all of its members could fly. They walked casually through the forest, about 1 hour later they finally arrived at the location.

What they saw was not a large mine that had existed for a long time, but a mine that seemed to have not been made long ago, because it currently only had 1 inlet. The location itself is also in the depths of the forest with shady trees around it.

The atmosphere was quite dark and a little creepy even though it was still daytime, with so many abandoned items left behind. Like a pickaxe, shovel, and do not forget also with the owner who now lives bones.

The three of them went into the pitch-black pit of the mine, using torches they picked up and burned with Audrey's fire magic.

They went deeper and deeper, but there was no sign of goblins. The air is getting thinner with a cold atmosphere.

A moment later the wind suddenly blew, extinguishing all the torches. Suddenly making the cave pitch dark, there was no light at all because the entrance of the cave was already invisible.

Singggg!!...

The sound of a knife slashing something until they were shocked.

"Y!!…."

"What's Hen !!!"

Audrey quickly lit the crystal on her wand without even casting the slightest spell.

Actually there is a reason the head of the witch still uses spells among others :

- Witches have not been able to cast magic without a spell.

- In order for the magician to be able to concentrate more on the magic used.

magic is too difficult to cast without a spell.

- Let it be cool.

But of course for a simple magic like making light Audrey does not need to cast a spell, especially at a crucial time like this.

The crystal on his wand glowed very brightly even brighter than the three torches earlier.

Eliana was surprised then looked back because Hendry was in the back position while Audrey himself in front. Hendry's right shoulder was slashed, his shirt torn, and blood dripped slightly from Hendry's right shoulder.

In a panic Eliana immediately cast healing magic on him, slowly his wound closed and his blood disappeared. But their surprise didn't just stop there.

They are surrounded by a group of Goblins whose number is more than 50, whereas on the request paper itself mentions only about 30 goblins.

Each of them carried a weapon from pieces of wood to broken and rusty swords that they seemed to have taken from the adventurers who had been killed here before.

All the goblins closed all the exits, the three of them were surrounded in the middle so there was no choice but to fight.

True goblin win itself is a low-level monster that can be faced by novice adventurers but it is not applicable if facing a herd of armed goblins in the tens of tails.

"Ah shit when this is the first mission why it could be like this."

"Listen.... I'll hold it in, as much as you two can run!!!"

"No !!!" Eiliana shouted and almost cried.

"Do you want to die here?, on our first mission to become adventurers."

"No. It's better we're together, after all this time we've finally found you."

"Just talk after we get out of here."

"Listen friends, don't give up."

"Better to try from it give up and die !!!." Hendry interrupted.

Audrey and Eliana nodded in agreement then prepared themselves into battle mode. Audrey with her long magic wand, Eliana with her short magic wand, while Hendry with his sword did not forget also the iron horse he was riding (similar to people riding a lumping horse).

This was the first time Audrey had seen the fighting abilities of the two of them. Audrey used ice and water magic to attack the goblins.

Incredibly sharp ice appeared in the air then shot forward like a rifle and rained down on the monster's body. But not as easy as imagined sometimes they deflect it with a wooden board they have or even with the body of another goblin in front of it so they can continue to advance.

Eliana attacked and blew the creature with her wind magic, not forgetting to also provide support magic to others, either in the form of healing or other strengthening magic.

While Hendry fought with his sword also rode his strange horse, like a knight on horseback only this time his horse was not alive.

This fight is endless. Audrey and Eliana increasingly run out of their magic energy, although Audrey's magic energy is quite a lot but of course there is a limit. But this did not apply to Henry.

Although he had fought for a long time he did not look exhausted at all, apparently the horse he was riding on was able to absorb magic energy from nature, so his magic energy was limitless.

Even just slashing with a sword without a spell requires magic energy, because it also affects the power of each slash. After a long time the three of them managed to kill 30 goblins.

"Ok Hen the rest we leave to you, we both want to rest first." Eliana said casually.

…

…

Hendry did not answer.

"Ehhhhh..."Audrey is puzzled by what Eliana says, telling her sister to kill 20 goblins alone.

"But El…"

"Have calmed down, let's come with me away and find a safe place." Eliana drags Audrey's hand and goes to the edge of the cave where all the goblins are currently gnawing at Hendry alone.

Audrey is forced to follow what Eliana has to say. After a while Audrey saw Hendry very differently than usual.

He was getting stronger and faster, also able to decapitate the remaining 20 goblins very easily. Because everything was done Audrey intended to approach Hendry.

"That was pretty great, Hen."

…

…

"Hen?"

Hendry did not answer and slowly turned to face Audrey. His eyes shone, and his body did not respond at all then…

Woossha…

Eliana's wind magic hit Hendry's head and made him faint instantly to make Audrey confused.

"A... What really happened Eliana?"

"Ah.. I'm just making her calm."

Based on the explanation from Eliana, this is common when Hendry is too much or too long

sucking the natural magic energy into his body. Over time he lost consciousness of his own body and only focused on facing all the enemies.

(It's like a lumping horse trance)

This was a side effect that his body received after receiving boundless magic energy. Because it is quite dangerous usually he will only use it in an emergency.

when everything is done usually Eliana will help by restoring her consciousness.

The trick is quite simple, just need to make him faint and when he wakes up, his consciousness will return.

Eliana is currently guarding her brother who is fainting while Audrey collects the head of the goblin and prepares to return to the guild to report the results when Hendry is awake.
