Chapter 813 Lacking Patience
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Since the whole purpose of 'Arcadia' was to make the world 'evolve' into a stronger version of itself, it wasn't hard for Emilia to realize that the 'dungeons' within each of the 'pillars' must also serve a similar purpose somehow.
The energy that the world will was investing in this 'promotion' might be substantial, but not everyone would end up sharing it equally.
It was only when the most excellent seeds were given the most 'light' that they would be able to sprout into the tallest and sturdiest of trees. As for the weeds… not only would it not be a pity to leave them out to dry, but it was also essential to pull them out as quickly as possible.
'In the original timeline, the first run of this dungeon was the toughest. Most players didn't expect the goblins to be so vicious and depraved, and the humiliation drove so many to despair.' Emilia smirked, a little amused. 'It's hard to believe that I'm here in front of that boss without witnessing a single such scene.'
The rewards dropped by the monsters in this dungeon were obviously much better than they should have been, which was enough to make many players deviate from their 'real goal' and waste time. And once they lost both their vigilance and 'sight', they became very likely to suffer tragically on the second floor under the hands of the Goblin Elites.
However, this had only been the case before the dungeon's first conquest. And with Emilia 'ruining' it like this, it was very likely that the overall impact of the entire pillar might be dulled.
Cynthia couldn't help but sigh. "You really broke a lot of 'rules' this time, so we'll have to be a lot more careful in the future."
Even if it was the 'boss' making the final decision himself, the raven-haired girl knew very well just how 'unreasonable' a 'world will' could be.
Emilia smiled. 'I know, don't worry.'
Unfortunately, the crimson-haired elf's smile was mistaken by both the boss and her teammates alike as her being 'overconfident' and provocative.
Their warnings fell on 'deaf ears', however, and the eager boss finally couldn't control himself as he stomped the floor heavily, his hooves cracking it in a spiderweb pattern that soon spread to cover not only Emilia, but also her team.
[The 'King's Domain' is now in effect. Certain movement skills have been restricted or disabled…]
Every 'individual' in Arcadia, including monsters, usually had some 'memory' that they themselves 'fabricated' in accordance to their circumstances within the 'game world', though it was still loosely based on their own real-life experiences. And the 'Goblin King' facing Emilia at the moment was no different.
Based on his 'experience', there was no way for the girls in front of him to know that he wasn't a brawler of some sort, and getting closer to him like this could only mean that Emilia wanted to engage in a 'fair battle' with him.
Of course, the Goblin King himself was somewhat aware of the disadvantage he would be facing if he allowed a tricky opponent like Emilia to get 'too close', especially considering her strange ability to make those close to herself 'forget' about every other opponent. But when she approached him on her own, his desire to conquer and suppress the elf in front of him brutally was aroused to its limits, completely suppressing any previous thoughts of caution.
Facing the little beauty he had been looking forward to tasting for so long like this, it was impossible for the Goblin King to not be a little impulsive.
"Hehehe… little girl, come. Come, let's have some fun!"
Green flames seemed to spontaneously ignite in his eyes as the Goblin King grinned, and even the saliva dripping down his exposed fangs seemed to have been contaminated by his overly concentrated magic.
The dozen or so remaining 'Goblin Elites' watched in excitement as their boss moved in to teach a lesson to the opponent they'd been almost 'helpless' against. Of course, although he ruled and controlled them through fear and magic, the Goblin King's strength was indisputable.
Their faith and confidence in their 'king' was unwavering, and they didn't consider even for a moment that he could lose.
[Inside the 'King's Domain', the status of all allies will be enhanced, and some attributes of all enemies will be suppressed!]
[If defeated inside the 'King's Domain', the allegiance of the loser will be changed.]
Hearing the first few notifications only made Emilia's teammates a little anxious, but the last one was what really disturbed them.
If they really lost to the hideous thing in front of them, could it be that they'd be forced to join the 'Goblin' faction in the future? In that case, they might as well quit the game.
Just as their will wavered slightly, the Goblin King made his move.
"Rain of Torment!"
He raised his giant arms to the sky while completely disregarding Emilia's dash, and a great magic circle formed above his head, raining down green balls of fire rapidly.
Emilia's teammates had no choice but to focus on dodging them, and couldn't provide her any support, but the crimson-haired girl easily weaved around it all to reach the boss.
Unfortunately, the moment she was close enough to strike with her poison fang, the giant nimbly stepped aside and lunged to grab her.
Emilia was able to barely avoid its clawed hands as the boss tried to hug her, but it wasn't without paying a price.
Not only did she lose almost fifty points of health, but her top garment was also left half torn.
The boss grinned as he brought the piece of crimson cloth to his face. "So eager to get close? It seems you're just as excited for this lord's love. Kekekeke…!"
Taking a deep whiff of the soft fabric in his claws, the Goblin King's excitement reached its peak, and it couldn't even be hidden under his rather thick loincloth anymore.
At this point, he no longer cared about 'playing around', and just wanted to gobble Emilia up immediately.
"Do it!"
