Novel Bin Chapter 175 Dream Part 1
To not have any annoyances attacking me left and right, I created an elongated barrier that stretched out in front of me and also rotated as well. So this way, any goblins attacking it would be thrown away instead of just bashing on it and somehow breaking it. I walked straight down the path I made and got up close to the portal. “Appraisal!”
[Dark Portal]
[A portal that will summon Monsters of a given type.]
[Monster Type: Goblins]
[Spawn Rate: 10 goblins per second]-.
“What kind of crap is this!? Why would it spawn so many so fast!?” I sighed as my eyes lit up. “Since you want to spawn more goblins and there doesn’t seem to be a way to stop you from doing so, then I can only create a barrier around you, and then you can spawn as many as you want.”
I set up a ten layer barrier around the portal along with it all being connected to my mana. The main thing about this barrier is that they all rotate in different directions. While the outside barriers are just a precaution, the first two barriers have a certain purpose. With the high speed rotation, the goblins squashed against it will begin spinning at a high speed grinding up against other goblins, effectively creating a goblin blender. While this might sound disgusting, and it is very disgusting, I do believe this will also give me a fair bit of experience points as well. At least, I hope anyway.
But now, with the portal taken care of, I can do something about this mass of goblins. “Absolute Zero! Fire Pillar!”
I dual casted two different spells. First, I instantly froze all the goblins around me and then used fire pillar to make them combust.
<strong>*Boom!* </strong>
Well… I guess such a move is not the best inside a dungeon…. Luckily it was just a steam explosion and only sent out a shock wave, but I am not sure how that would affect someone not covered in a barrier.
But now, with the goblins taken care of, everything is set. I made my way back to the place where everyone was waiting for me and stepped through the barrier only to be slapped in the face. I held my cheek and stared at Adel with a shocked expression. I mean, I was shocked, Adel actually hit me! “You…. You! Idiot Faith! Why did you run off on your own!? Why!? Why do you always try to do things by yourself!? Just because you are powerful!? You didn’t even explain anything. You just ran off!”
Adel gripped my armor as tears rolled down her cheeks. I see…. I must have worried them all. As I looked up, I could see that worry as clear as day. Although I wished she didn’t slap me, now her hand is all red. I took her hand in mine and cast a healing spell to restore it back to new before hugging her. “Sorry.”
“Just explain yourself better next time!” Adel cried out.
“Young Miss, please at least take me with you next time. As your bodyguard, it would not be good if you keep leaving me behind.” Ugh, even Sally was reprimanding me.
I let Adel go and bowed my head to everyone there. A true full bow as I said: “I am sorry for worrying you all.”
“Boss, you can rely on us more. We do not mind even if we have to push ourselves past our limits. In fact, we want to push past our limits so we can grow stronger.” Steven stepped forward and said.
“Alright… But this dungeon won’t be easy, and as you know, it is especially dangerous for girls. So we need to be extra careful. The thing that was causing so many goblins to appear is already taken care of. And all the extra goblins are also dead. If we had continued as we were, we would have been stuck here forever. But still, I am sorry.” I bowed once more.
We all took a long rest. I took out some food and made a campfire. Blankets and pillows were all passed out. Annie really had a thing about pushing so many things on me for just in case situations. And I should really give her a raise. She is like the secret guardian angel who always seems to know what will happen in the future.
I laid down with Adel and Sophie snuggling up next to me. Something we were pretty much used to doing. We were doing shifts on keeping watch. Sally and Sei took the first shift, so I took this time to catch some sleep myself.

“Faith! We need back up!” A voice screamed out. I turned to see Steven shouting from the side, but this was an older version of Steven I did not know. Once again, I was seeing an image of a battlefield. I do not know why I keep seeing such dreams. But they always seem so realistic.
“Faith!” Steven screamed once more.
“Okay!” I yelled out. Unlike before, I did not dare sit idly. I did not want to see my friends dying in front of me. But what I couldn’t understand was why were we fighting? Why were we stuck on this battlefield?
I went to fly up into the air to get a better grasp on the battlefield but was quickly pulled down. “Are you crazy!? Flying is death! The monsters they summoned rule the skies. We can’t even get an aerial advantage. You should know this! You were the one who almost died trying to take them out!”
I stared at Steven in shock. They summoned monsters? What kind of monsters? I looked up at the smoke covered sky and couldn’t see anything. The dense clouds overhead blocked my view.
I sighed and began marching on. The enemies were both humans and demi humans. But for some reason, I feel there is something off about them. They all had a strange purple pattern on their bodies. I am not sure what was wrong with them, but they were indeed very powerful. I had cast a fireball at one casually while they were fighting someone else, and it smashed into them, but they did not even react.
“Faith! What are you doing!? This is not time to be clowning around. We need a large area of effect spell off in the distance or we will be overrun!”
