Heaven's Greatest Professor

Chapter 162: Goblins

They found a group of goblins creating a ruckus as their way came to a dead end, blocked by a thick stone wall.

Two of the smaller green humanoid goblins were hammering their pick axe on the wall with all their strength, yet barely getting anywhere. There wasn't any protective formation placed on the wall. The stone wall was remarkably hard and the goblins were simply that weak.

"Grrrrr! Stop you teatless bitches," roared the hobgoblin, who seemed to be the leader of the crew. The hobgoblin was a head or two taller than the goblin minions, his body fatter, but the physical force it carried was undeniable. The aura it was radiating was lower compared to the bull-wolf chimaera, but definitely in the silver rank.

After the goblin minion rested work, another goblin minion came from behind the hobgoblin with a pulsating bead. Everyone crackled at the sight of the bead, as they took a step back. The goblin set the bead at the centre of the wall and activated it.

He came back scurrying instantly.

"Back off," the hobgoblin roared. The underlings did back off, coming to stand behind the hobgoblin, their eyes glowing as they eyed the wall.

The bead released a series of serious undulations of energy and then it burst open, ripping apart the thick wall in a spray of stone shards and splinters. What followed was dust and debris, as all the goblins began roaring cheers.

Before the dust cleared they moved into the hole created by the peculiar energy bomb.

"Goblin tinkering," Agnes said. "They aren't the brightest, far from it, but they do know how to make a ruckus."

They followed after from the shadows. Unfortunately, the goblins' path came across another dead-end shortly.

"You pathless mothafucker!" the hobgoblin roared, hurtling a devastating kick to a lesser goblin, who was most likely the failed navigator.

The parchment map he was holding fell as the navigator crashed into the wall, they were to break apart again.

"Chief, calm your heart," the underlings tried to quench the tangible violone bearing on the hobgoblin. "That poor, luckless bastard did not deserve your wrath."

"Ohh?" the fiery glint of violence didn't wear off from his person. He hammered his fist into the face of the goblin that tried to intervene, sending him flying to join the navigator. "You deserve my wrath, then?"

He shot his glares at the other, as the underlings took a step back.

"Grrrr! Why do I bother with you sons of bitches?" the hobgoblin chief screamed. "Your incompetency has no bounds that we still have to suck dicks of the orcs."

Warden couldn't help but smile, looking at them. It was amusing, kind of.

"My liege, what to do with the wall?" the bomb guy goblin asked. His hand was inside the leather satchel, where the energy bombs were stored. Interestingly, even though his voice was calm, his facial expression hid a deranged self, who'd likely throw the bomb at his liege, if the hobgoblin came to attack him.

Well, perhaps Warden was reading more into it. He couldn't tell with the twitch in the goblin's ugly exterior, but the defiant and fearful aura around him was palpable. People do wild shit when they are afraid, and these were the creatures of chaos. Warden wouldn't be surprised if they began killing one another from right here.

Warden sucked in a deep breath. The only time he felt a gold ranker power was when the head of disciplinary pressured him with his aura. That had been some experience.

"Of course, their power will be suppressed in here," Agnes continued. "Still, do you think you can hide under the presence of a Gold ranker?"

Warden didn't think to look to answer. "Well, if the lord is dumb like these buggers, I don't see why we cannot?"

Agnes shot him a look and nodded. "Let's go then."

"Hmm, are you sure?"

"What, are you feeling under the weather?" there was a challenge in her voice, her lips curling up in a sardonic grin.

Warden snorted. "Lead on, Madame Captain."

Tracking down the goblins didn't turn out to be a problem with them creating ruckus everywhere they went. The only problem was that they were terrible at tracking, circling the same place, and blasting through walls with their goblin bombs.

They were so incompetent in tracking that, Captain Agnes gritted her teeth to utter, "I'm contemplating murdering these goblins if they waste my time anymore. Gods, even I can do better navigating than them and that too without a map."

Warden just smiled at her frustration.

Thankfully, they wouldn't have to circle around for longer. Although the goblin was unable to navigate through the catacomb, another group of orcs found them. There were more of them, over a dozen of them, and surprisingly two of them had power equal to a silver rank.

"I was wondering who could be creating such destruction in the ruins for no reason," the lead orc said, a pale red-skinned orc, compared to the usual green-skinned ones. Other than the skin colour and different tattoos on the skin there were no differences between them. "Of course, it is you, Hamim of the Skaa'm goblin clans. Nobody is as dull and pathless as you."

"Rashe'Ivek, you look as filthy as always," the goblin Chief Hamim of the Skaa'm tribe roared.

"That coming from a goblin?" Rashe'Ivek sneered. "Perhaps I should gift you a mirror, but alas! I'm afraid there's no mirror that can do justice to your ugly exterior. 'tis probably the reason your father gave you up on your birth."

"Rashe'Ivek, do you want to die so bad?" the hobgoblin roared, bringing out his massive club.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you, Hamim?" Rashe'Ivek was prepared, equipping his battle axe when the other silver-rank orc came from behind and stopped him. It was actually a female orc.

"Now is not the time to fight among ourselves," the red-skinned orc woman said, charging her huge wooden wand with power. "Especially when we have a couple of guests among ourselves."

Without further ado, she shot lightning bolts right where Warden and Agnes were hiding.
