The Golem Mage

A Hob Goblin could be seen walking straight for a Palace built in the middle of a square with many castles around and with many strong auras coming from all over the castles.

With every step the Hob Goblin took, he could feel the pressure on him increase more and more, as the exp hiding all checked him with their spirit energy to ensure it was not an enemy trying to approach the central Palace.

The Hob Goblin was not too happy with the spirit search on him, but all he could do was just put up with it, as any suspicious move from him could put him in more problems than he already was.

The moment he got to the main door of the Palace, there were two Tier 5 goblins at the door as guards.

They slightly bowed to him as they opened the door, and he quickly walked in. He snorted in annoyance as he made his way to the throne room, not bothering to waste any time Admiring the pictures and art on the wall all around the foyer; the moment he got to the throne room, he went on one knee.

”I greet the family leader,” the Hob goblins said, not daring to raise his head; even if he did, he could not see the person sitting on the throne except the family leader moving into the light.

The family leader was sitting on the throne area as darkness filled it.

”You are my son, right!?” a shaky voice came from the darkness.

”Yes, I am your one hundred and twenty children,” the Hob Goblin said as he secretly smiled. He was happy that his father seemed to remember him after all the goblins had given birth to many children.

So they only took notice of the unique ones and were not bothered about the rest, as they might even die in the contest that always happens in the second dimension.

”Useless!!!” the shaky voice seemed to change instantly from a shaky old voice to one filled with vitality and vigor, and it appeared that he would strike soon.

The Hob Goblin’s heart went cold instantly as he felt the Intense killing intent oozing from the figure hidden in the darkness.

”Do you know how long I have made that plan or how much I must pay before securing all the space gates around this area?”

”I had to bleed for it because I know my family could profit more here than following the orders of the clans like dogs. I would rather be a lion in the wild than a dog in the city, and I took this leap of fate hoping the Goblin clan could help me deter the undead clan in charge of this place before.”

”And it succeeded, and now it is time for me to reap the fruits of my labor. And one of my kids came short. What would you do if you were in my shoes? ” the voice from the dark asked as it never stopped fluctuating, giving others the feeling of weakness and vitality.

But even the Hob Goblin was not fooled by it.” I would accept any punishment, royal father, as long as you let me command the next attack. I assure you I will make up for all our losses.

”The Hob Goblin finally raised his head as he said, the light in his eyes glistening.

Then, a slight face came out of the darkness as the Hob Goblin saw a goblin emerge. His staff helped his movement, and another goblin was behind him with hands folded and a giant axe strapped behind him.

The family leader of the goblins, who was supporting himself with a staff with a bent back, suddenly walked adequately with a straight back—the moment he got to the hob Goblin, every form of weakness disappeared. All that was left was an intense killing intent, and I looked at the hobgoblin’s eyes.

”You are one of my most talented children but not the strongest, and I don’t believe in talent. I only believe in result and strength, and I know you know that already; I have seen your resolve, and I promise not to punish you.”

”I have one request: kill enough to expand your gate to a( Low) Tier Space Gate. I feel a strong energy from your gate that can help me recover faster. Don’t disappoint me; I don’t take disappointment easily; anyone who can upgrade their gate to the level I can come to will be rewarded, ” the leader said as he turned back after that, walking back into the darkness.

But the muscular goblin still stood there with crossed arms as he stared at the hob Goblin with a slight interest in his eyes.

”I won’t disappoint you, family head,” the Hob Goblin said; even if the family head was his father, it was clear that he felt no familial ties to him.

He never even called him father once; he only called him royal father and family head, which refer to their leaders.

”Ohh! Two branches will be helping you out in the next blood moon; I heard that an obstacle stopped you last time. I hope that with all this support you can get, you will finally get rid of it.”

”I surely will,” the Hob Goblin said as he stood up and thanked the Goblin family head. As he walked out, happy he was not punished but still given a chance.

He knows that many people are waiting for him to fail so they can take his place, but he is not ready to give up now as he already has a plan to turn around his last defeat.

If Draco or any of the Two Tier 6 mages from the city guards and one other family saw this goblin, they would be shocked to realize that the same goblin led the goblins in the last blood moon against the human mages.

What was scary was that he had to bow towards someone else, and there was no iota of the previous pride he displayed when he invaded the city of Estonia.

”Why did you give him another chance? Others might start saying that you favor him too much since he evolved to a Hob Goblin,” the Goblin, who still had his hand folded, said without turning to face the leader who was in the darkness.

”No 1, you have been with me the longest as you are my first child; what do you think about him?” the voice in the dark answered his question with another.

”Simple mistake; I think he could take care of it as long as he doesn’t meet that old opponent again, ” the muscular goblin evaluated.

”That is why I want him to go back and rectify his mistakes; his future is bright. I don’t want him to develop a heart demon just because of a small issue, and I don’t have time to worry about this as I still have to participate in protecting the Ancestor when he breaks through. I pray I survive, and If I don’t take care of my family, No.1”

”Well, that should be no problem, for now, I just have to face that stupid undead again, and it’s getting on my nerves as they are not willing to leave the space gates even after I offered spirit energy crystals, and that’s why I don’t like dealing with unintelligent races” the muscular goblin cursed.

”Well, they have every reason to be angry, but as long as I don’t get what I came for, they can forget about occupying these space gates. Thank god it’s just a small clan. They need to find a way to match up with our large family. If we were dealing with that strong undead horde, we might have been wiped out.”

”See you later. I have to settle this.” The muscular goblin stretched his hand, and a crack in space was made. He walked into it, and a few seconds later, the crack repaired itself, and the Goblin was already gone.

Silence returned to the room as the leader goblin returned into the darkness.
