Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 293 Carnage, Chaos, And Calamity



[Stronger? Well that doesn’t really sound that bad, but I am sure that they wouldn’t be running from this Karl person.] Harold said in my mind, and I agreed with him.

[Karl is able to increase one skill to be perfect, but at the cost of everything else. They basically become more monstrous monsters, and it looks like his latest victims are these poor goblins. Normally they are weak creatures, but even more so here, since they are the lowest level of creature here.] Libra explained.

That was troublesome, and it made sense why I was being directed to them, but I couldn\'t figure why one of the so-called Twelve would act like this. I had assumed that they would all be lawful and righteous, but that didn’t seem the case.

[Hardly. None of us are angels, and you were the one that mostly kept us all in line. While there are some like me that are mostly good, but none of us are perfect.] Libra explained, and I sighed, making everyone look at me with worried looks.

“Well, I guess that we can go deal with this one first, and then we can find you a good place to settle with the rest of your people,” I said, but then the quiet girl in blue, Meg, spoke up.

“If there are any left. Karl works fast, and once all of us are dead, new goblins will spawn in. Well will soon be all killed, and then like Milo said, we will all close our eyes and rejoin the ring,” Meg said in a monotonous tone.

Looks like these folk have been through a very rough time, and it was showing on some of them. The others seemed to not let their despair show, but Meg and Milo seemed the worst hit of their lives.

“Well, let’s get going so we can save the ones that are left. I will help straighten things out the best that I can, I just need you to guide me in the right direction,” I explained to the group, and Ayech and Gee nodded to me, and turned to start walking into the tall grass without another word.

I let the others go ahead of me as I looked around the forest that was filled with tall grass. There was nothing in the area that I could sense, but I was curious how the goblins were able to get close to me without running away first if they thought that I was so strong?

[I think that it might have something to do with them being scared and trying to find shelter. You also had decided that you weren’t a threat to them.] Libra explained to me.

The goblins moved surprisingly fast for having such small legs, and I had to walk briskly through the tall grass to keep up with them. Not like it was hard to see the trail they were making as we headed left from where I came in.

[I have so many questions. First of all, what is with those names? Ayech? Like the letter? And then there is Gee and Zee, highly suspected to also be letters! Then there are the girls, and their children! None of them are letters! What the heck?] Harold complained.

I was a bit curious about that as well, but now was not the time to be talking out loud. I needed to make sure I was keeping distance from Carnage, so this steady pace was good.

From the speed that he had been walking at I only had about a ten minute lead on the creature. Carnage looked like his pace had picked up, so I needed to figure out something to fight him.

[You could just get a big stick.] Harold suggested.

‘Nope, that isn’t going to work, and I don\'t even know if a metal weapon will work on this guy. He was able to see everything the second I did it, and was able to react. That means that he has to have a ridiculously high reaction time as well to be able to think so fast, and now he is going to be serious.’

[You are going to have to be very careful with Carnage here. You might be stronger than him outside of this, but not inside of this place. Carnage, Chaos, and Calamity rule all with the power of the Astral Orichalcum Ring.] Libra explained to me, and I held back a sigh.

I was already struggling with this foe, and there were two more of them to deal with this after. Now that I was here it wasn’t like I could just leave, but I might have to figure out something for the other two cocoons.

[This will be one of your hardest battles you will face, but you promised us all that you would return and finally activate the Constellation of Light. You have activated mine and the Gnoll King, Mustafa’s stars now, but your journey is only just beginning, and there are many more Astral Stars to retrieve.] Libra explained, but I had to focus on my group and surroundings.

The group was starting to slow down, and I could feel eyes on me, multiple sets. There were three shapes moving towards us from the sides and behind, but I couldn’t make out what they were.

I looked around, and there was a lower tree that was lower.

“Go over to that tree and get up it!” I yelled at the goblins pointing at the tree, and they didn’t even look to see where I pointed but they all ran to where I had.

I whirled around and reacted with a fast kick that smashed into the side of a large blue wolf that had leaped at me. My eyes searched around, but I couldn’t find the other two, and the one I had just kicked was getting back up.

[Oh, don’t these things look cute! Be careful, they have teeth!] Harold told me helpfully, and I groaned.

This was wasting my time, but I needed to deal with them. The visible wolf got up after, but then I heard the goblins screaming behind me.
