I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

Iris' words made Angeline take back the giant sickle she had already taken out.

"Goblins? And Fiery Slimes? Remember, Fiery Slimes are around level 10 monsters. Goblins, who are less than level 5 on average, will lose their fighting power if they encounter Fiery Slimes, no matter how many goblins there are."

"Is the Fiery Slime strong?"

Since Iris was in charge of searching for the enemy, Ella was so respectful that she didn't open the "Terrain Search".

The one who answered the question was Lotte, who was standing at the back of the team.

"The Fiery Slime uses its magic to ignite itself during battle. The flames on its body are very troublesome for Warriors. While it is possible to use a bow and arrow to penetrate the magic core inside, it is unlikely to be done in actual combat."

Not to mention that the slime's sticky surface can greatly delay the arrow's progress. If the arrow does not have the "Sharp Blade" magic attached, it may not even be able to penetrate the skin.

"If it's Lotte, there'll be no problem."

"Compared to me, it's Miss Angelini who's the one. Maybe before I even take action, Miss Angelini has already turned them into experience points for leveling up."

"Well, since they're not here to ambush us, why don't we just avoid them?"

Ella suggested that if there was no need to fight, one should avoid fighting. The monsters here were generally weaker than those in the maze, and even if one defeated them, it would not gain much experience.

It is also worth mentioning that after defeating the disaster monster, the levels of the group have been improved to varying degrees. Ella is now level 26, Lotte is level 30, and Iris is level 36. After that, Angelica, Shen Gan, Mitis and Eve are level 28, level 27, level 40 and level 36 respectively.

[It won't be long before everyone can reach level 30. ]

"Ella, light."

Eve, standing side by side with Ella, pointed to the sky. Although the view above was covered by dense branches and leaves, it was still possible to see through the gaps between the leaves that the purple light filling the sky was getting stronger and stronger, giving people a strong sense of unease, just like the fuse of a bomb was getting shorter and shorter.

"Ah, let's bypass them and go straight to the cave."

No one objected. After Iris pointed to the right, everyone chose a route that avoided the battlefield.

◇

"quack--"

The screams of some monster were heard by the ears, but no one paid any attention to it. This sound had existed not long ago. It was the sound of goblins fighting slimes.

Ella shrank back, feeling a little creepy.

"Iris, what's the situation now?"

Perhaps because the monsters in the forest heard the sounds of the battle and scattered far away, the group did not encounter any monsters along the way. In order to pass the time, they kept asking Iris for information about the battle situation.

"The goblins are about to be defeated. Linglan and the others have given up waiting and are heading further ahead."

"Those goblins are obviously weak, so why would they go looking for trouble with the Fiery Slime? Even if monsters aren't very intelligent, they should be able to tell the enemy's strength from their size. The Fiery Slime is at least three meters tall."

Angeline sighed, and from her tone she seemed to sympathize with the goblin's plight, but this was understandable. Sympathy for the weak who had nothing to do with oneself was a biological instinct, and most people had this tendency.

"Perhaps they were defending the village. Not far from where the battle took place was a goblin village built of wood. Well, goblins treat humans as prey, using their agility to hunt down passing hunters and adventurers. If they see Angeline-chan alone, they will definitely attack her, so there's no need to sympathize with them, Angeline-chan."

After saying that, Iris changed the subject.

"By the way, couldn't Mitis-chan secretly control the disaster monster back then using her monster control abilities?"

"Uh... I can, but honestly, it's been so long since I've used Monster Control that I've forgotten..."

"Can Miss Mitis's monster control work on humans?"

Luti asked curiously, and probably seeing that Mitis didn't seem to understand, she continued to add.

"If the difference between humans and monsters is intelligence, then if humans are not so smart, can they be controlled by monsters?"

"So that's what you mean? I haven't tried it, but it should be possible. Monster control itself is a forced contract. If you don't have enough willpower, you can't resist the power of the contract. From my previous memories, I could even control dragons, so it should be possible for ordinary humans too."

"I always feel like Mitis is a dangerous person..."

"Ahem, I can't control Ella, okay? Don't look at me like that, I'm a very serious person."

"The question should be why you are so sure that you can control Senpai."

Climbing over the dead tree lying on the ground, Shen Gan sighed softly.

"—Wait, something's happening."

Elise suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong?"

Ella asked subconsciously, and everyone drew their weapons almost at the same time.

"The goblin lines have been completely broken—they're fleeing towards us."

"Tsk, even if we can't defeat the Fiery Slime, we have to lure them away from the village."

Perhaps feeling annoyed by the upcoming battle, Shen Gan frowned and showed a disgusted expression. Although the goblin's behavior was commendable - sacrificing himself to protect the goblins in the village who had no fighting ability - this led to his group being dragged into the battle. Absolutely no one likes such a thing to happen, even if the Fiery Slime was not worth mentioning to everyone.

"Can't we speed up and avoid them?"

Lotte asked.

Elise shrugged.

"It's already here—Ice Wall."

Bang.

A goblin had just crashed into the five-meter-long, man-high ice wall when it crashed into it. Judging from the sound alone, the impact was definitely enough to break bones.

But this was just the beginning. Behind the first goblin, accompanied by the rustling sound of the grass, the second and third goblins also crashed into the ice wall that was as hard as steel.

“Gah—”

The strong reaction force caused the goblins to bounce back to the ground, their ugly facial features twisted together. The severe pain that was almost like broken bones made them unable to react to what had happened to them for a while, and they curled up on the ground in pain. Thanks to this, Ella was able to see the goblins' appearance.

Like the goblins in the fantasy world that Ella knew, these goblins had dirty gray-green skin. Perhaps because their muscles were tense all over their bodies, the purple-red veins on their arms were extremely obvious. Although they also had pointed and long ears like elves, they had no aesthetic appeal at all. Their short and thin bodies reminded people of the villains who played thieves in dramas, and their teeth protruded from their lips. It was natural that such an appearance would be hated by humans. If they suddenly appeared in front of people at night, they would definitely scare countless passers-by.

After a few seconds, the first goblin finally came to his senses. When he discovered the solidified ice wall in front of him and Ella and her group standing behind it, a look of horror immediately appeared on his face. He supported himself on the ground with his hands and rubbed his hands as he backed away.

"Gah—Magic!"

"Goblin, speak?"

"Looks like he can talk now... an intelligent type?"

But this is understandable. Ruti had said before that among the goblins who can build villages, there must be a Goblin King. The existence of the Goblin King will improve the wisdom of the entire tribe, so it makes sense that he can speak - although the goblins' tone sounds very strange.

“Humans!”

“Run!”

The goblins came to their senses and crawled to their feet, running back the way they came. Even they knew that human magic casters were more lethal than the Fiery Slime.

However, the three goblins stopped shortly after they ran out - the goblins responsible for luring the Fiery Slime were rushing towards them, which meant that they had no way to escape.

"What a hassle."

Iris, who learned the situation from the "Eye of Exploration", clicked her tongue, raised the Crescent Dew, and gathered unstable blue-purple electric light at its tip.

"Reverse Cross—"

"Please, please, let us go!"

Perhaps seeing Iris's actions and realizing that his life was in danger, the goblin fell into despair and knelt on all fours, kowtowed to Iris repeatedly. The banging sound even made Ella feel that if he continued, his skull would be broken.

Seeing the first goblin kneel down and kowtow, the other two goblins immediately followed suit, completely ignoring the wounds on their bodies and kowtowed continuously. Some of their burned skin was even torn from rubbing against the ground.

However, Iris had no intention of stopping. Not to mention that Iris was not the type to easily let her enemies go. First of all, if she listened to the monster's request so easily, Iris would not have become a character that even the Holy King Council feared.

The blue-purple light was still gathering, and the grand electric light wrapped around the gorgeous staff seemed as if it would break through the limits in the next second.

The shocking scene of Iris's magic and the goblins in despair made Ella feel pity for them, and she carefully tugged at the corner of Iris's clothes.

"Iris...let them go..."

The gathered purple electric light gradually dissipated, and Iris, whose momentum was gradually withdrawn, turned around with a helpless look.

"I knew Ella-chan would say that. First of all, it's a monster, it won't appreciate Ella-chan's kindness."

"I know, but it looks so pitiful..."

I really can't bear to see the goblin being roasted like this. If I guessed correctly, Iris was about to use the third-level magic "Reverse Cross Lightning" just now.

After removing the ice wall, Iris waved her hand helplessly, walked to the back of the team, and signaled Ella to take over.

Ella took a few steps forward and opened the "Terrain Search" at the same time.

[…Are they the advance guard? There are about twenty goblins and five Fiery Slimes behind them, and the number of goblins is gradually decreasing… Wait, is this the Goblin King?]

Ella looked at the goblin who was kneeling on all fours, not daring to look up. According to the information on the "Topography Search", this was the ruler of the goblins, the Goblin King. Apart from looking a little stronger than the other two goblins, there was nothing special about him. He was even shorter than herself.

Like prisoners awaiting trial, the goblins even breathed with minimal sound.

At the speed of the Fiery Slime, it would take several minutes for it to reach her. After thinking for a moment, Ella swung the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment horizontally.

"'Basic Healing Technique'."

Like a curtain, golden light spread out in all directions with the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment as its center. The goblin's skin, which was wrinkled due to severe burns, began to scab over, and the parts scratched by thorns also began to recover with granulation tissue.

[Hmm? HP is still decreasing? Hmm... Is it the Fiery Slime's poison? In that case.]

"Blessing of Detoxification"

Unlike the healing spell, this time it shed a light green light.

"That should be all right, but how should I start next..."

Ella had no confidence in her social skills, so she frowned and began to think about her first sentence, but the goblin was faster than her.

Feeling the touch on her toes, Ella instinctively shifted her gaze.

——The Goblin King was kneeling on the ground, kissing the tip of his shoe.

"Eh?"

Ella took a big step back reflexively.

Chapter 62: The Mysterious Inscription and the Possible Existence of the Second Disaster Beast

Although Ella could understand the goblins' desire to thank her—no, would goblins really thank humans? Two completely different thoughts swirled in Ella's mind, leaving her frozen in place for a moment.

"Great God, please accept my worship."

Seeing Ella take a step back, the Goblin King, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke in a voice trembling with excitement.

"We feel guilty for accepting your kindness and yet still acting so unbecomingly."

"What's going on? I sound like I've seen this before, and I'm calling you 'God-sama'. Could it be that Loli God?"

Ella frowned.

There was no doubt that he was now wearing the Crown of Mistin. Although his face remained largely unchanged, his height and body shape were quite different from those of the Loli God. Moreover, the Loli God had silver hair. After all, the Loli God would never appear in front of others in a Loli state. The description of the only God on the continent was usually that of an old man with white hair and beard.

Noticing that Ella still hadn't responded, the Goblin King looked up at Ella and thought for a moment before suddenly revealing an expression of realization.

"If it weren't for the treasure you left in this forest, I wouldn't have the wisdom to survive like I do now. If even you aren't considered a god, then there are no gods in the world."

"...Treasure? You didn't recognize the wrong person, did you?"

Ella was sure that this was her first time on Yoyo Island, so there was definitely no treasure left behind.

"No mistake. Although I only happened to enter the Death Cave once, I will never forget the inscription on the monument. It is exactly the same as yours, Lord God."

The Goblin King's face was filled with devout faith in Ella, but just as Ella was about to ask further questions, she heard the goblins' screams and the sound of grass being crushed coming from the front.

The goblins being chased by the Fiery Slime have arrived.

According to the "Terrain Search", the number of goblins being pursued has been reduced to only a dozen or so. Aside from the goblins that have scattered in other directions, most of them are unable to move due to severe burns. Some of the goblins rushing towards him are also suffering from the pain of the flames - their HP values ​​are constantly decreasing.

The Goblin King also heard the rustling sound. Its face was full of anxiety and it stood up from the ground with extreme uneasiness.

"God, God, please leave here quickly. The Fiery Slime is coming. Even with all my tribe members, I couldn't drive them away. I beg you to step aside for a moment!"

「You know you can’t win, but you still want to stay here and persuade me to leave? Well, even if it weren’t for that, I’d still help. 」

I am very interested in the inscription that the Goblin King mentioned. Since he looks like me, maybe he has some connection with the Loli God.

"Lord Kami, leave quickly!"

The Goblin King was even so anxious that he kept stamping his feet on the spot. The other two goblins also had fear written all over their faces. If the Goblin King had not escaped, they would have already run away from the Fiery Slime. The pain of having their skin burned was something no one wanted to experience a second time.

Ella swung the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment.
