“It couldn’t possibly be just a ruin now…” Succumbing to anxiety, Vandalieu used the Detect Life spell across a vast area. He detected over a thousand responses in the center of the city.

It seemed that the city had declined, but hadn’t become a ruin.

There were a large number of reactions that were stronger than the average person’s, but they were probably adventurers and soldiers who had been stationed there.

“Ah, that’s good.” Letting out a sigh of relief, Vandalieu set his feet back on the ground and began walking towards the city’s gates.

As he did so, the gatekeeper that noticed him began to make a noise that sounded like, “Gegyagegyah.” Vandalieu had stopped using Flight so that he wouldn’t startle them, but it seemed that this was pointless.

The gatekeeper with dark green skin, a long nose, long ears and slanted eyes –

“Hmm, let’s face reality,” Vandalieu told himself. “That’s a Goblin.”

Judging from the fact that it was raising its spear, it seemed to be a Rank 2 Goblin Soldier. On the other side of the doorless gates, there were countless Goblins pointing in Vandalieu’s direction and shrieking as they ran towards him.

There was one particularly large Goblin who was the size of an adult human among the other chest-high Goblins, letting out a shriek.

Unlike the other crudely-armed Goblins, it was equipped with proper armor, a shield and a halberd.

It seemed that this was a Goblin King.

“Wow, this is the first time I’ve met a King other than myself,” said Vandalieu in a monotonous tone as he released Death Bullets.

And so began the battle between the two Kings, the Ghoul King and the Goblin King!
