The whole person swiftly left the goblinsâ encirclement.
In fact, if Raineâs spiritual power were sufficient, a Second Level Spell âIce Ring Spellâ would be the most suitable tactic at this moment.
Not only could he instantly freeze the densely packed goblins in place, but subsequently casting a Third Level Spell âSnow Rainstormâ could also yield some beneficial effects.
However, the problem is that Raine has not yet changed classes.
Even with the support of Ice Crystal Mind, his spiritual power is still insufficient to consecutively cast Second Level and Third Level spells.
Therefore, he chose to use Barbaric Charge to create distance, then directly cast Snow Rainstorm.
Fortunately, as a Monster Skill, the Third Level Spell Snow Rainstorm does not require any chanting, hand signs, or spellcasting mediums for Raine.
Seeing Raine charge again, the mutated goblin in a filthy linen robe continued to clutch its stomach, vomiting, and now showed an expression of âmy life is over,â closing its eyes.
But with a âbang,â being knocked away again, it still awaited the fatal blow.
Then, the mutated goblin felt a piercing cold; it opened its eyes, and the next moment, its eyes widened, mouth open, in shock at the scene before it.
Its home nest had been covered by extreme cold sleet and hail.
The ordinary goblins had been entirely covered by rapidly freezing ice, becoming ice sculptures.
Even the Goblin Warrior shivered almost unable to move, while the only one able to shift, Bear Goblin Crook, had also become a snowman, with a look of fear as it moved its legs in slow motion, trying to run outside the cave.
But as time passed, including Bear Goblin Crook, all were frozen in place.
Once the Snow Rainstorm was over, the goblin nest seemed as if migrating to the Lankote Snowfield, transformed into a snow-covered ice sculpture kingdom.
And it became the sole survivor.
"Can you understand the common language?"
A deep human male voice came.
The goblin Puck shivered all over, quickly responding, "I understand! I understand!"
"Very good, whatâs your name?"
"Puck! Puck!"
As a spellcaster-type mutated goblin, evidently, the goblin before them named Puck had intelligence surpassing other goblins, similar to Bear Goblin.
This made Raineâs mood increasingly better.
With a smile, he nodded lightly, then lifted the neck of the mutated goblin named Puck like holding a chicken, and walked out of the cave.
At this point, Raine glanced at the Bear Goblin icon and multiple Goblin Warrior icons in the sixteen-slot backpack but did not look closely, because he needed to quickly recover spiritual power, as more important matters lay ahead.
.....
A minute later.
Seeing Raine walk out with a smile, holding a mutated goblin, the four temporary team members, including Regina, all widened their eyes, watching their captain.
"Mr. Rein, itâs about the usual time." Elise smiled sweetly, only her eyes blinked, somewhat puzzled at the goblin in Raineâs hand.
For itâs the first time in half a month Mr. Rein brought out a live goblin.
"Cap... Captain, is the inside all cleared?" Regina stuttered.
Just now, they heard Bear Goblinâs roars from outside the cave, worried for a time. Unexpectedly, in a flash, their captain came out, unscathed.
"That Bear Goblin..." The Rogue Apprentice couldnât help but ask.
"Yes, all settled." Raine smiled and nodded.
The group exchanged looks for a moment, then Regina focused on the goblin Raine held, curiously, "Captain, whatâs in your hand?"
"A mutated goblin, Iâm going to do some research."
Raineâs answer didnât surprise the group, considering mage apprenticesâ fondness for research is normal, isnât it?
"By the way, go inside and collect the loot."
Though clearing a large goblin nestâs task reward seemed minimal after the Lankote Snowfield excursion, Raine couldnât forget he was still a debtor.
Mosquito legs may be small, but theyâre still meat!
"Alright, Captain."
"Yes, Captain!"
So Regina and the four immediately headed to the goblin nest. Just entering the cave entrance, a compelling chill hit them, and the scene before their eyes stunned them!
"Wow! This... this...." The eyes of two Warrior Apprentices almost popped out, stuck on âthisâ for a while.
"Even an official mage would struggle to cast such a powerful spell, wouldnât they?" Regina murmured.
...
An hour later.
After collecting goblin ears and nest loot, Reginaâs group had built a campfire on the empty ground at the goblin cave entrance.
Given the presence of a large goblin group here, forest predators like brown bears and leopards had long been either driven away or killed, ensuring utmost safety.
The day had reached noon, so Raine and Elise decided to have lunch here before returning.
However, Raine wasnât by the campfire then, instead, he carried the mutated goblin named Puck back into the cave.
Regina and the others exchanged looks but dared not ask.
Just nowâs goblin cave scene had truly shocked them.
