From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 280

Chapter 280: The Frenzied Alice

TL: Sungmin

Dusk fell.

The continuous, thunderous roar of Alice’s sword filled the air.

At long last, the sound subsided.

From a distance, Lin Tian gazed upon the scene before him.

The rays of the setting sun filtered through a gap in the mountains, dazzlingly bright.

Alice hovered within this crevice, bathed in the sunset’s glow.

She seemed like an angel—pure, majestic.

“Ha… ha…”

Within the crevice, Alice breathed heavily, her skin glistening with sweat.

She felt an overwhelming sense of exhilaration, as though reborn.

“She’s already grown to this level? It’s truly unbelievable…” Lin Tian remarked, reviewing her status.

In the distance, Alice quickly turned, hearing his voice. “Your Majesty Lin Tian?”

She soared toward him, descending softly.

Her armored skirt lifted slightly, revealing her fair, slender thighs.

But she was wearing safety shorts beneath.

Lin Tian smiled approvingly. “Lady Alice, your power now far surpasses mine; it’s astonishing.”

“No… Your Majesty’s strength is the unfathomable one. Besides, I wouldn’t have achieved this without you.”

Alice blushed slightly at his praise, responding with humble sincerity.

Her skills, equipment, and growth resources all had ties to Lin Tian.

But Lin Tian replied, “Even if I gave these things to someone else, they’d never reach your level. I’ve seen your hard work; just in these few days, you split a mountain in two. I certainly don’t have that level of determination.”

He knew his own talent and willpower well enough.

He couldn’t compare to those insane prodigies of this world.

Take, for instance, the Titan God-Making Project data they had seized from the War Empire—possibly the most precious treasure they’d ever captured.

It held the potential to unlock knowledge beyond the world’s comprehension.

However, he knew nothing of magic, alchemy, or the application of theory and runes.

So, he’d given it to Grugia.

“Well, with your current power, dealing with that lot should be no problem,” Lin Tian assured.

But this was just an initial estimate; further testing in the Life Simulation was needed.

He never fought battles he couldn’t win.

Alice’s beautiful eyes turned fierce. “Yes! I’ll never let those damned demons off…”

Her gaze grew as sharp as a blade’s edge, chilling to the bone.

Even Lin Tian shivered slightly.

Then, he set off to inspect another area.

Specifically, Gobu Yue and Goblin Slayer’s magic training grounds.

Their identities were uniquely complex, possessing both goblin nature and human abilities.

They could wield spells that were normally restricted from monsters.

Crossing over the hills, he arrived at his destination—a stretch of flat plains.

As he arrived, he saw massive craters pockmarking the ground!

Each was over two or three hundred meters wide—utterly astounding!

Compared to Alice’s mountain-splitting attacks…

The difference between power levels of ten thousand and several thousand was clear.

Though, in battle, those with ten thousand power rarely showed off in flamboyant ways, as using their full strength could endanger both allies and themselves.

In close combat, flashy, highly impactful skills could backfire, putting even the user in their own line of fire.

However, certain powerful magic lacked dramatic visuals, yet could be just as deadly and overwhelming.

“BOOM!!!”

Suddenly, a mushroom cloud like a mini-sun rose up ahead!

Fiery red light blazed below, with thick smoke billowing above—an awe-inspiring sight!

The blast dispersed the clouds, leaving the entire area below scorched to ashes.

“Gobu Yue, I’ve maxed out my ‘Doomsday’ spell! This brutal, brainless magic is the best!”

From behind a cratered hill, Goblin Slayer’s voice called out in satisfaction.

Gobu Yue replied, “It’s truly impressive. You’re learning magic so quickly.”

Goblin Slayer, however, sounded puzzled. “Why don’t you focus on these powerful, destructive spells? Why all those support types when we have Katheryn and Ifreya? Honestly, my talent doesn’t hold a candle to yours. Learning destructive magic is straightforward; it’s the support types that are the hardest.”

Hearing this, Gobu Yue sat down slowly on the grass, a bit embarrassed. “Miss Katheryn and the others mainly focus on healing magic. Mine’s more about buff enhancements. I just feel this way I can be of more help to the Boss…”

“You little thing, completely conquered by Lin Tian, aren’t you? Unlike me, I’d rather conquer him myself, haha.” Goblin Slayer teased.

This made Gobu Yue even more flustered, left speechless.

To save some face, she replied, “Not true! I study these kinds of spells to help everyone. Lady Alice, Miss Elizabeth—they often rush deep into enemy lines. With buffs, they can fight even stronger!”

“Heh, makes sense. But you’re just saying that to cover up how you’re always thinking of that guy, Lin Tian, aren’t you?”

Goblin Slayer, like teasing a child, pressed on, not letting up.

Gobu Yue fell into the trap, struggling to explain, “That’s not it, I just… just…”

Yet she truly couldn’t think of a single excuse.

“Is it just the two of you here? Where are Lia and Katheryn?”

Just then, Lin Tian appeared, speaking calmly.

Normally, this group stayed together.

Seeing him arrive, the two were momentarily surprised. Goblin Slayer quickly composed herself and replied, “Lia’s been handling administrative work lately, and Katheryn went with Ifreya to visit the villagers.”

“B-B-Boss, let me explain! What I just said isn’t what you think! I actually…” Gobu Yue stammered, her voice flustered and chaotic.

Lin Tian waved his hand dismissively. “It’s fine, I understand. And you,” he added, glancing at Goblin Slayer, “why are you teasing her? If you make my Gobu Yue cry, I’ll have to give you a taste of~ holy power~.”

“Oh? A bit cruel, don’t you think? You know I’m half-monster, holy power would affect me. Next time, I won’t dare sleep next to you!” Goblin Slayer pouted with mock annoyance.

Lin Tian laughed, then began reviewing their status panels. This was the real reason he’d come.
