BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - A Demon's Rampage
When Adrian snapped his fingers a sound akin to glass breaking occurred except it was not glass but space itself was the one that broke and from that broken space a black hole ten meters in diameter formed and pulled everything that it could muster. Adrian is always impressed by the sheer power of the Vortex skill. Not only did it pull all he views as enemies but even things like fences swords and any other thing that was not firmly rooted or able to withstand the pulling force of the Vortex he summoned. This objects deal additional damage to the enemies sucked into the black hole which is always a plus in Adrian\'s eyes and with that numerous notifications assaulted his sight.
[You have dealt 3,879 magical damage to a Goblin Ranger Recruit. Additional 467 damage has been dealt due to swirling objects in the black hole.]
[You have dealt 4,149 magical damage to a Goblin Mage Recruit. Additional 638 damage has been dealt due to swirling objects in the black hole.]
[You have dealt 3,268 magical damage to a Goblin Warrior Recruit. Additional 159 damage has been dealt due to swirling objects in the black hole.]
[You have dealt 4,243 magical damage to a Goblin Mage Recruit. Additional 827 damage has been dealt due to swirling objects in the black hole.]
....
This were the notifications that sprung up in Adrian\'s field of view and a few seconds later even the tent housing the Goblin leaders was sucked into the black hole revealing a Goblin with a robe conjuring up a barrier to prevent the three of them. The two goblin guards that are guarding the entrance of the tent plunged their swords at the ground to anchor themselves to it. Not long after all the goblins in the training ground were sucked into the black hole. One might think that hundreds of goblins could not fit into a ten meter diameter black hole but that would be the uneducated point of view because the concept of space is different inside it but the game designers have used the idea that the black hole has infinite space and is always swirling. Adrian had more or less an idea of this because he has seen a giant tree being sucked inside of it and that every inanimate thing or energy sucked inside would become damage for the beings sucked inside.
"Kanlaon fire your dragon breath inside of the black hole" Adrian commanded after he saw all of the goblins in the training ground sucked inside the black hole.
Kanlaon breathed fire directly into the black hole and it was absorbed right in and explosions could be heard if you listen closely to the sounds produced inside the black hole but who would be brave enough to come close. The goblin commanders looked at Adrian with hostility that if looks could kill Adrian would probably be death ten times over. The black hole ceased to exist meaning the duration has ended and the goblin commanders hoped that some of their recruits survived the ordeal but fate was cruel. All the goblin recruits that was expelled from the hole become flashes of light once their corpses landed on the ground.
[You have successfully killed a Goblin Mage Recruit. Experience has been gained.]
[You have successfully killed a Goblin Warrior Recruit. Experience has been gained.]
[You have successfully killed a Goblin Ranger Recuit. Experience has been gained]
Hundreds of notifications like this was popping up in Adrian\'s vision that he had to turn them off for the time being because it was distracting him. Adrian and his party was immediately given tons of experience that Adrian leveled up about five times and his soulbounds leveling up about seven times. The bigger one of the three goblin commanders emitted a battle cry because of what he has seen but Adrian was unfazed because of his skill.
[The Goblin Chieftain has used the skill \'War Cry\']
[You have resisted the fear status due to your \'Asmodian Prowess\']
The Goblin Chieftain was fuming with rage and charged towards Adrian but Adrian\'s eyes was glued to another area. Adrian was looking at a metal cage that was previously covered with a dirty cloth and it was revealed to be a group of caged individuals which mostly consisted of human females. Adrian was enraged even though they were just game characters but actually seeing victims in close proximity is different from just reading about it or seeing it in the media. Adrian already know what was done to them due to some having dead eyes while some had their legs cut off. There were even children inside the cage.
Adrian flared with anger and ordered Sirius and Kanlaon via their Soul Link which was either a good choice or a bad one since even Adrian\'s anger was transmitted to his soulbounds.
"Destroy them. Leave nothing behind!" Adrian commanded in a heavy tone as Adrian\'s Glamour was dispelled by a spell of the Goblin Mage that Adrian did not even bother dodging. Adrian\'s skin tone changed and his horns were revealed that the goblins were surprised.
Sirius headed straight for the Goblin Ranger while Kanlaon charged towards the Goblin Mage. The three goblin commanders was almost near Adrian when he executed those commands and he was finally shown their status.

From Adrian\'s point of view it was not this two who posed a threat but the goblin who was the same size as that of an adult male that was charging towards him.
Monster: Goblin Chieftain
Level: 50
HP: 100,000/100,000(100%)
MP: 40,000/40,000
Description: An evolved species of the goblin warrior that is known for its robust and immense physical force. The Goblin Chieftain is considered to be the third strongest existence only below that of a Goblin General. It knows how to lead an army of goblins to assault towns and villages. It is said that if goblins are becoming organized and raiding towns or villages in an orderly fashion then there is a Goblin Chieftain in the vicinity giving them commands.
The Goblin Chieftain about to charged recklessly towards Adrian when the two Goblin Warriors that were level 45 stopped it by uttering some words in a language not familiar to Adrian. The Goblin Chieftain stopped its charge and instead the two Goblin Warriors were the ones that are going to confront Adrian first because the Goblin Mage told them that the demon has exhausted all its mana just in conjuring up that spell. The Goblin Mage was right now Adrian only had about 100 or so mana left and he was out of mana potions which he forgot to restock due to being too excited to level up. Adrian was only now relying on his mana regeneration to restore his mana.
The two Goblin Warriors were glaring at Adrian as they charged towards him. Adrian activated Geoforce and enlarged his demi-gauntlets. Due to his level rising the demi-gauntlets dealt more damage now that they have dealt before. The Goblin Warriors were using good coordination and what\'s more they were buffed by the Goblin Chieftain.
[The Goblin Chieftain used Chieftain\'s Valor. All subjects under it have 15% stat increase and will deal 5% more damage.]
The Chieftain glared at Adrian before heading towards the Goblin Mage to assist it since it was having a hard time fending off the dragon that was spewing fire at it as it continued to be in the defensive rather than chanting spells. The Goblin Chieftain obviously knew that the demon before them was a summoner and the easiest way to defeat a summoner\'s monsters was not attacking it but directly dealing with the summoner itself but the demon in front of them was different. Not only was it incredibly adept at using magic but he could also sense immense physical strength from it which was expected of a demon because their goblin ancestors always viewed demons as the incarnation of destruction.
The goblin elders always recount their story of ancient times about demons having immense physical and magical prowess that it could put any Goblin King to shame with just one flick of its finger. The Goblins know of the difference of demons and devils since their Goblin Kings was afraid of Demons not Devils and that message was passed to their generation time and time again. Yet, the Goblin Chieftain did not fear this demon in front of him because its horns are yet to emerge. In their stories the demons have imposing horns filled with power and a presence that would make others bow down before them but this one did not. The Goblin Chieftain decided to aid his other commanders first so that it would be easier to take out the demon invading them. Its two summons were also strong because it was the a mighty great lizard and a dog of destruction.
