Defiled Hero Chapter 027

Defiled Hero

The Fairy of the Wind and The Goblin King

We could feel the footsteps of the goblins through the ground.

Fiere held on to me tightly while crying.

Oniichan...... I was so scared. I was so scared since they kept chasing after me...... (Fiere)

They kept chasing after you? It was just by chance that they were going the same direction you were wasn’t it? (Izayoi)

It couldn’t be. I suddenly slowed down and made a sharp 90 degree turn.

The goblins who were running in the front successively changed their direction to chase after me.

Were they after Fiere? Why?
Although I was worried about it, it's fine right now.

With strength, I vertically kicked off the ground and flung my body high into the air. I turned my body and climbed onto Rigolo.

Master is amazing! You flew into the sky! (Uri)

Saying that I was flying, I only went up about 20 meters didn’t I? It was within my jumping range. (Izayoi)

......Who is that girl? (Reri)

Fiere is Fiere. Oniichan’s little sister. (Fiere)

You’re not my little sister. She’s an old acquaintance (Izayoi)

Whether you’re his little sister or an acquaintance, hurry up and separate from him. (Uri)

I don’t want to. I want to be with oniichan forever. (Fiere)

I understand. Then Reri will also be with master forever. (Reri)

Separating from Uri’s back, Reri transferred over to me.

Alright stop screwing around. This isn’t the place to be doing this stuff. (Izayoi)

The goblins on the surface halted, and menacingly raised their cudgels towards the sky. As I thought, their aim was Fiere.

But what should we do? At this rate we’ll just be running away forever.

To defeat all of them, the number is a bit...... (Izayoi)

Even if I take down the king, I’ll probably have to take on some of them right afterwards.

Is there some other......I’ve got it.

I have Tear. If I'm right, then we should be able to do something with Tear’s inherent magic Beast Manipulation Arts. In order to safely contract with the goblin king, we’ll need to somehow deal with the other goblins.
(TN: Replaced 操縦術 with 操獣術 for consistency, former means “Manipulation Arts,” latter is “Beast Manipulation Arts.”)

Controlling it with contraction magic will take a bit of time. If it’s the same as the taming contract, then we’ll need to buy time.

You want to defeat the goblin king? If Fiere has magic power then she’ll help. (Fiere)

Magic power? If you get it from Astrea, you’ll take in so much that it’s impossible to handle. (Izayoi)

It’s alright! If I get it directly from oniichan then I’ll be able to do it. (Fiere)

Directly from me? Even though I barely have any magic power? (Izayoi)

Fiere is rubbing her cheeks on my body, I’m getting a weird feeling.
Huh? She’s absorbing something.

Suddenly a feeling of exhaustion closed in on me, I felt dizzy as if I were anemic.

She, don’t tell me she’s absorbing my life force?

Hawawa! I’m full of energy. Punishment time. (Fiere)

Fiere was overflowing with magic. She rested herself on top of my shoulders, and faced down towards the Goblins.

Wait a second Fiere. We’re up in the sky right now. If you were to use wind magic, you’d hit us as well. (Izayoi)

*Hawawa,* That’s right. That could have been dangerous...... (Fiere)

It would be dangerous this high. We’d have to brace ourselves as we descended.

Flying a short distance, we made our way down towards the front of the goblin horde.

Hold on tight. (Izayoi)

The earth was trembling as the goblin horde continued.

Tear, Uri, and Reri were clinging onto Rigolo as if hugging him. Stepping firmly onto the shaking ground, I intended to catch Rigolo in preparation for if anything were to go wrong.

Fiere had left a moment before. Facing the goblin horde, she stuck out her arm. The wind around Fiere began to rise and gradually increased in ferocity.

*Hawawa!* I’m starting! Ei! (Fiere)


In an instant the wind seemingly disappeared, but an enormous gale erupted in front of her.

*Kuke!? Kukeke!?* (Rigolo)

Receiving the impact of the wind, Rigolo began rising into the air. Rigolo was held down so he wouldn’t be lifted away.

The wind continued for a few seconds and calmed down before long.

That was dangerous! Were you planning on launching us away!? (Uri)

Although it was an attack that consumed a large amount of magical power, it would in turn have a high degree of lethality. It completely enveloped the goblin horde, I wonder how much damage was dealt.

After the dust settled, the goblins could be seen writhing about on the ground.  Although it wasn’t to the extent of killing them, their forces had been greatly weakened.

Well done Fiere. We’re up next, I’m going to beat up the king. (Izayoi)

I jumped towards the goblin king.

He was alone, and was practically uninjured.

I’ll deal with him. The rest of you take out the surrounding goblins for me. (Izayoi)

Got it! (Uri)

......Understood. (Reri)

......Yes. Will do my best. (Tear)

If it’s against the wounded goblins, it’ll be fine even if it’s Tear. Well then, though it’s a pain, I’ll give him a good amount of punishment without killing him.

*GURAAAAAAAA!!* (Goblin King)

The goblin king threatened me by letting out a deep voice. He bore his fangs, and with his enormous cudgel overhead, stormed towards me.

He seems pretty angry.

Drawing my sword, I lowered my stance in preparation. As he violently swung his cudgel downwards, I swung my sword to meet its trajectory.

Although he and his cudgel were fairly large, the amount of power behind the attack was a disappointment. I didn’t feel a great impact in my arms, and my blade’s trajectory was uninterrupted.

The broken cudgel flew into the air.

Even though it’s a king, it’s a king of small fry. Like a frog in a well. Something given the title of “King” should be able to take at least one attack from me. (Izayoi)
(TN: the idiom “Frog in a well” is used here, which carries a meaning of “ignorant of the rest of the world around it”)

*――GAAAAAAAAA* (Goblin King)

I slipped through, gave it a somersault kicked to the face.


I’ll give you a chance. (Izayoi)

Returning my sword to its scabbard, I thrust my hands into my pants.
(TN:( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

Then, I closed my eyes.

I listened. The angered goblin king came at me in a straight line.

......You are not fit to be a king. (Izayoi)

Angrily yelling and recklessly displaying your emotions, you are disqualified from being a king, disqualified from being a warrior. If you’re going to attack like a savage, you won’t be able to defeat me.

In this darkness, I could sense his movements, and slipped through the attack as I evaded it.

――Small fry. (Izayoi)

I twisted my body and sent a kick towards the goblin’s face. With a dull thud, the goblin king fell over and hit the ground.
