Chapter 33: The Awakening of Takumi
Afterwards, while fighting the occasional goblins, we were confident that we were getting closer to the colony.
「It’s there.」
「Yes, it’s a Goblin General like we thought. Luckily it isn’t a king.」
We discovered a mid-sized goblin colony, and the site had about 300-400 goblins. There were superior species such as Goblin Archers and Goblin Mages, with 4 Goblin Knights and the Goblin General as the head.
「The Goblin General is huge.」
Compared to goblins that were the size of elementary school students, the Goblin General is over 180 cm tall. You wouldn’t think they were the same race.
「I’ve confirmed with the Wind Spirit. There seems to be no people here.」
We sighed in relief at Sophia’s report.
The fate of women kidnapped by goblins and orcs is tragic. But with this, we can freely launch magic.
「Then let’s match up our timing.」
Sophia and Maria nodded and began kneading magic power.
「Oh Spirit of Wind, turn to blades and cut the enemies before you.」
「Solid piles that pierce through all, Bloom.」
Sophia and Maria recited incantations.
「Spirit’s Riot Blade」
「Rock Pile」
「Firestorm」
Blades of wind overran the colony.
Piles of rock burst forth from the ground like a mountain of swords.
A maelstrom of fire swirled in the middle of the colony.
A stream of skill level announcements flowed in my head, but we rushed into the colony with spears in hand.
The surprise magic attack of three people reduced the goblins to around 100, 1/3 of their original numbers. And originally, challenging that amount in melee combat with just 3 people is unreasonable, but we were confident we could win.
Unscathed goblins were few, and injured goblins that couldn’t move well were stabbed with the spears we wield, killing them one after another.
Enemies in front were mowed down by stabbing them with the spearhead, enemies from behind were hit with in the face with the butt end of the spear.
While using the spear, I scattered stone bullets with Earth attribute magic 「Rock Bullet」.
We stabbed with spears and swung with swords. Goblins fell to the ground each time.
The minute it turned into a melee, Sophia changed her equipment from spear and sword to sword and shield, and performed what seemed like a sword dance in the crowded areas.
Maria sometimes shoots out a fireball while using her spear.
Kaede’s tough invisible threads make the surviving goblin’s heads fly soundlessly.
The movements of Maria and I, who were low leveled, quickly grew sharper and stronger as we fought.

Roaring and carrying a large sword, the Goblin General appeared with the four Goblin Knights.
Sophia began fighting two of the Goblin Knights.
Maria and I confronted the remaining Goblin Knights, one-on-one.
When the Goblin Knights started running, holes were made with Earth magic. With the ground underfoot suddenly collapsing and opening up, the Goblin Knights that started sprinting lost their balance. [1]
「Ha!」
「Yaa!」
Maria and I stabbed the necks of the fallen Goblin Knights and swiped sideways from there, and the Goblin Knights’ heads went flying.
Then I saw that Sophia was struggling in her fight with the two Goblin Knights.[2]
「Maria! Support Sophia!」
「Yes!」
When I thought about it afterwards, I fail to understand why I, who was aiming for a peaceful life as an artisan, challenged this clearly superior opponent alone.
I confronted the wounded Goblin General.
Flinching from the tremendous pressure that lashed at my heart, I tightened my hold on the spear to recover and started running.
Booon!
I avoided the large sword that the Goblin General swung while lunging with my spear.

Footnotes:
The raws in both LN and WN say goblin general but it doesn’t make sense so I changed it to goblin knights.Raws said Maria but I believe this is Sophia since it said just a few lines up that Sophia was fighting 2 and maria just killed 1. sooo.. xD 魔法使い – I originally translated this as the mage job, and when 魔術師 pops up once in a while, I’d use magic user but now the higher tier job uses 魔術師 as well. I think I read somewhere that a Magus is a better version of mage so I’ll use that maybe? or is there something better?Yes, I am aware of the inconsistency. Evasion is a skill had previously been acquired in chapter 10 in an announcement but was not included in the status originally. Another error by the Author that was not fixed even in the LN. There might be more inconsistencies like this so I will put in footnotes regarding them but I will not change it because the story might fix them at a later point. If I miss any, please do point them out. Thank you.
