A goblin with a name! Continuation!

Chapter 11: The very first BETRAYAL!! (1)



[One Week Later; In Grondahl Dungeon]:

"Delia jump!," yelled Jason from afar as he was in combat with a bear completely made out of red hot burning fire.

Jason was fending off the fire bear with his black colored mage staff, he was utilizing his staff to make space between himself and the bear.

The fire bear was trying to chop off Jason's head from his shoulders. Over and over again, very desperately.

"Wow there Jason you look like you need some help there! Do you?!," comically yelled out Juliet with a playful grin plastered on her face. She was also fighting a fire bear but unlike Jason she was easily fending off her opponent.

All she was doing was to continuously fire attack skills such as her "ifrites fire" to just keep the bear far away from herself, not killing it as she and the party needed it and it's fellows alive.

"After all it's just a fire bear! A weak one at that, seems its level is 37, ten-levels lower than an average fire bear!," yelled Juliet, abbreviating the fire bear's status info.

"Level 37! Huh, that explains a lot! But you know why I am holding back, no? So why are you making fun of me?," Jason comically yelled back with crocodile tears rolling down his chin.

"Haha haha! You both are very comical!, like brother & sister!," yelled Thor. As he effortlessly cut down and killed a fire bear

with his orange colored kodachi sword.

"Hah that's so true! Just how did we now realize this?!," inquired Thorfinn with a casual smile as he flung blood from his icy blue colored kodachi.

A fire bear was about to pull out a surprise attack from Thorfinn's unprotected back. But a powerful blow came into contact with its left side sending it flinging away.

Thorfinn didn't even budge or react as he just finished flinging blood from his kodashi then he proceeded to sheath his kodashi.

"Thanks there captain," Thorfinn calmly replied with the same calm smile plastered on his face.

"I wouldn't let my guard down if I was you, that goes for all of you! Know let's get done with what we came here to do," indifferently spoke Cole.

"Yeah that's right. Let's get this over with, after all I am really… bored of fighting such weak monsters," said Thorfinn.

As he, thorfinn, Juliet & Cole as they all walked forward and sat down on the ground, staring down into a small slump where a white-haired elf stood with 4-fire bears surrounding her from all sides.

"Wil she be fine all alone, against 4-fire bears for her first quest?," inquired an interested Juliet as she sat leaning over to Cole's left shoulder.

"Hmmpff! I taught Delia some of her status skills. So am confident that she can handle herself," confidently spoke Jason with a proud grin on his face.

"oHHH! Is that so? Then let's see those skills on display," replied Juliet with visible interest evident in her voice.

And with that the whole party's attention was shifted to the white-haired elf.

Inside the slump stood the said white-haired elf with clear sky blue eyes. The elf had didi von'sfield facial features revealing the elf's identity as delia.

Delia was standing straight completely inside the slump with her hands spread wide open in an inviting jester.

The 4-fire bears were all staring at delia with visible fear evident in their burning eyes, as they were continually taking a single step forward, then they immediately took 2-steps backwards.

It was as if they all instinctively knew that if they took more than 2-steps forward, they all instinctively knew that they all would die before even knowing what killed them.

"Utilize status skill, [Elemental magic: Earth(LvL3); spinning earth drills]," calmly spoke delia in a quiet whisper.

In that moment, as if understanding Delia's orders the 4-frightened fire bears instinctively went to attack her.

But…it was too late for them as before they could attack Delia's 6-spinning earth drills all synchronously started to pick up more speed by the second.

After about 20-seconds of picking up speed the 6-super spinning earth drills, suddenly without warning, except for a loud super sonic boom was heard as they all were launched flying for the 4-fire bears.

"SPLAASH!"

Was all that was heard all across.

As the 6-super spinning earth drills quickly & effortlessly tore through all the 4-fire bear's heads within the spam of 4-seconds.

Leaving cole & the rest of the party shocked, except for Jason.

Who was also shocked but not to the level of his party-mates.

During the one-week Jason realized that once again Delia's intelligence increased, but this time by 5-fold than previously.

So all he had to do was teach her… things of how to differentiate between monster's & humans.

First of all Jason taught Delia to differentiate by their appearance, nature and killing intent also known as "ki."

You might be wondering, why killing intent? Simple because for some unknown reason, Jason realized that Delia could easily pick up a being's Ki, and using that she'd differentiate between comrade & enemy.

But he realised that Delia held his orders higher above than anything. Like for example If he told her to attack Cole even though she's afraid of him, she'd still attack him without thinking twice about it.

That really dumbfounded Jason as he wondered why she blindly followed his orders, so stopped trying to comprehend it and just rolled with it for the time being.

Second was by appearance quite simple right?

"What the…hell!," breathlessly exclaimed Juliet in utter bewilderment. Her eyes were wide open with her mouth wide open.

"Ahuh," dumbfoundedly nodded Thor & Thorfinn as they both also stared wide eyed at Delia. Who by now lowered her hands and in a swift motion she turned around & walked towards the direction of Jason and the party.

She walked with a demeanor full of confidence and a stoic look plastered on her face. Within a minute of walking Delia made it to the party then she stood to the right side of Jason, obediently awaiting for any of Jason's next orders.

"Well? Is she now trained enough to join us?," questioned Jason with a proud smile on his face.

Cole stared at Jason with an unreadable expression but his teeth were grinding hard against one another. Then his eyes roamed over to the stoic looking elf standing besides Jason, then to the rest of his party with a questioning gaze.

He continued to grind his teeth for a bit longer before he forcefully calmed himself down & spoke.

"So? What do the rest of you think?," he inquired looking first at his party's female mage- Juliet.

Juliet looked at Delia with freight in her eyes as a single thought appeared in her mind.

"No, no, no! This can't be happening again! Just how? How?," she insanely thought as her mind went through various questions & insane scenarios.

Feeling various stares on herself, Juliet slowly started to snap out of her insane thoughts.

"I'll have to find a way to get rid of her, very soon, no? Immediately!," was Juliet's last thoughts, as she stopped her murderous thoughts, before coming back to reality.

"Inhale!, Exhale!, Inhale!, Exhale!," Inhaled & exhaled Juliet as she tried to calm himself down. After a minute she finally spoke to the party.

"I personally wouldn't want her to join us but… as a member of this party it would give us a huge advantage. And maybe just maybe she'd be able to make us achieve our childhood dream of reaching S-rank."

Thorfinn wisely nodded his head, with a playful smile. Mirrored by Thor also, while Jason's grin grew wider if even possible.

"Well then it's official! That Delia has now officially joined us- the rangers!," cheerfully yelled Jason as he placed a hand on Delia's shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah she's joined. Now let's collect our loot and bail out of here!," grumpily said Cole as he gested for everyone to follow his lead.

But as Cole turned around no-one saw a small faint smile on his face, all except for Juliet. Whose previously calmed fury came blazing back even stronger than before.

"Tch! I was planning on letting you go unharmed… but that doesn't look anymore optional," she venomously thought to himself in audible hate evident in her voice.
