I was surrounded by goblins, I was hitting them, killing them, and destroying them, but their number was increasing by the second.
’Shit. Why are there so many of them? How are there so many of them?’
’It’s like there is a hole in the ground inside that dungeon-like gate and the goblins are coming from it.’
’And the more goblins I kill, the more goblins are coming out from the ground.’
’Shit.’
I cursed under my breath.
I had no choice but to kill them one by one, even though their number was increasing.
’Damn, this is bad.’
I looked at my mom who was also slashing and slicing the goblins in half, some goblins got their throats slashed, and some had their stomachs split open, and were disemboweled.
Blood was spraying into the air, and the ground was filled with it.
But, there was no end to the number of the goblins.
Their number was increasing rapidly.
And, they were still pouring out from the dungeon gate.
I can ask for help from my family, but my younger sister Lily was too stunned to see the goblins being cut and slashed in half.
She was in despair, and her face was pale, and her eyes were red, and her breathing was heavy.
She was crying and trembling.
And she was hiding behind Emily and was holding the fabric of her clothes tightly.
On the other hand, my elder sister, Emily, even if she is in her right mind doesn’t even know how to throw a punch, so she is useless in this situation.
In front of her was the box which I had told her to bring the sword from.
Hmm...
’She brought the box...?’
Ella’s mother, Ms. Dune, was on her knees, tears were falling from her eyes, and she was holding the hands of the lifeless body of her son, Jake.
And Yoonhe...
Wait!
Where is she?!
She isn’t with others.
Fuck!
Don’t tell me she is already...
No, it can’t be...
...can it?
No, no, no.
Please, don’t tell me she is already...
’...dead.’
’I hope she isn’t...
’I hope she is still alive. Otherwise, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.’
’Shit. Now what?’
’This is really bad. What should I do?’
’I should do something.’
I looked at my mother, who was slashing the goblins.
But, the goblins’ number was increasing, and there was no sign of their decrease.
"Mom!"
"Not now, I am busy!"
Just as my mother replied, the sword she was holding started to shine a blue light.
"Huh?" My mother, who noticed the sword, stopped and looked at it.
"What is this?" She mumbled.
The light was getting brighter and brighter.
"It can’t be..." I mumbled.
’Don’t tell me...’
’...is she also...?!’
Instinctively, my mother swung the sword as if it would help the light to disappear.
But instead, her swing caused a catastrophe, a huge wind blade formed from the swing and flew outward.
Slash!
’No way!’
The wind blade flew outward and cut through the whole crowd of goblins.
All the goblins in the frontline were slashed into two, and their bodies fell apart.
And not only that, but when the wind blade hit the wall, right beside the gate of my house, it sliced in two from top to bottom.
The cut was clean, and the wall didn’t even have any cracks.
This is...!
...so cool!
"Huh?" My mother was surprised.
Her eyes were wide, and her mouth was open.
Her face was full of surprise, and her face was pale.
"This is..." Her words were low and her voice was filled with shock.
"What is this?" Her eyes were looking straight forward as if there was something that had appeared in front of her.
It was a system’s screen.
’So she has really...’
’She has really Awakened her power.’
’She is the first one to awaken her powers in our family. Well, except for me.’
"What is this blue screen floating in the air? Is it some sort of hologram?" My mother’s voice was shaking.
I could see a blue screen floating in front of her but I couldn’t see the contents of the screen.
’Saya,’
Suddenly, my right eye transformed and I focused it on the screen which was in front of my mom.
The screen appeared in the vision of my right eye as if I was just standing in front of it, at the place of my mother.
[Congratulations! You have awakened SS- Class Skill ’Sword Saint’s Blade’.]
’Ohhhhh!’
’Now that is a great skill. It is not even SS Class, but SS- Class skill.’
’Wow.’
I was really happy.
But it wasn’t the same for others, my father, my sisters, and even Ella’s mother were surprised and were in shock.
All of them were starting at the cut in the wall made by my mother.
And the goblins...
Oh... The goblins...
They were just staring at my mother as if she were the devil.
Even I was shocked.
Because the goblins were no longer trying to attack me, but were standing in the same place as if they were frozen by an unseen fear.
Gugaggu!
Guga!
The goblins started to let out some voices as if they were communicating with each other.
All of their eyes were locked onto my mom.
Their eyes were full of fear, and they were terrified.
"This is..." I heard my mother’s voice and before she could continue, all the goblins started to run toward her.
All of them.
Even the ones I was fighting.
All of them had abandoned their fight with me and were charging toward my mother.
It was as if they were attacking my mother to save their lives.
"Mom, be careful," I warned her, and my mother snapped out of her daze, and her eyes became cold and sharp.
"Huh." She snorted, and slashed the sword horizontally, and the wind blade formed and flew outward.
Slash!
This time the wind blade was a bit thinner, and its range was less, but the speed was faster.
Boom!
