“We finally caught up…!”

“Let us help too!”

At the moment I faced the Goblin King, three adventurers entered the forest.

“What is this…?”

The adventurers who entered shuddered and froze.

It’s hard to say whether it was because of the Goblin King or my familiars…

“Don’t worry. They’re all his familiars.”

“Huh?!”

So it was the familiars after all.

I showed Earl earlier, but they probably didn’t see Rei and Ace. It’s a bit suspicious whether these adventurers were even there when I showed Earl. To be honest, there were so many adventurers that I couldn’t remember all their faces.

“I’m his familiar too.”

“That’s a bit different…”

The bewildered adventurers didn’t have time to react. The Goblin King, who had taken position behind his troops, began to move.

“Grrraaaaaaahhh!!!”

The Goblin King’s roar echoed through the forest, intimidating even the nearby goblins and causing them to lose consciousness.

“What…?”

“I can’t stand… it…”

“Why are those people so calm…?”

The adventurers nearby were also affected by the intimidation and were kneeling.

On the other hand, Milim and I had experienced worse with the roar of the Dragon Zombie, so we weren’t particularly affected. Experience is the best teacher.

“Rei, Ace, Earl. Protect those three.”

“Kyuuoon!”

“Gumooo!”

“Kyuuuuu!”

The three familiars headed towards the adventurers who couldn’t move.

“What…?! A Fenrir?!”

“And a Minotaur! Much stronger than the Goblin King…”

“Wait, wait, A dragon too… What’s going on!?”

Each of them showed their surprise in their own way. As expected, they hadn’t seen them before. Maybe they had been fighting in the forest the whole time.

“Wait… with this many familiars, are you going to fight alone?”

“Don’t familiar users usually rely on their familiars and not themselves… Huh?”

Before the adventurers could raise the bar too high, I decided to end it.

“【White Inferno】.”

“Eeeeeehhhhhhh?!”

Thanks to the Dragon’s Protection, I could control it better now and can handle it without burning the forest.

There was no use for the Goblin King’s materials, so it was okay to burn it all down.

“What did u get?”

“It seems to be the King’s Charisma and Growth Acceleration.”

“Again, it’s not an extra skill! King’s Charisma seems to have the effect of raising the status of familiars, so I can benefit from it too.”

Growth Promotion also seems to promote the growth of familiars.”

“Kyuuu!”

“Well, it doesn’t matter if this one doesn’t grow too big. The goblins around us are taken care of with this.”

As Milim’s words suggested, the goblins around them were all taken out.

In the end, I used Necromancy to efficiently absorb the abilities of all the goblins. Even though I had a ring that could make them invisible, it would be difficult to lead an army of goblins. And somehow, I felt it would be difficult to control these goblins, who were solidified in their loyalty to the king.

“They defeated enemies who we couldn’t even move against so easily…”

“Well, the opponent was the Goblin King, after all?!”

“Well, considering that they are leading such strong monsters, it’s only natural…”

The adventurers’ gazes gathered on us.

“For now, let’s go back. Are there any injured people?”

“No, because you guys came before it became a full-fledged battle…”

“Ah, I’m really grateful!”

“I’m glad.”

For the time being, I was relieved that we had been able to protect everyone without any casualties.
