I looked at Jahi, who simply shrugged when she heard the Marquess' question. Sighing in annoyance, the Marquess pushed me forwards, into the center of the clearing.
"Alright, the pup first. I'll release one of the goblins, so get ready."
Nodding, I palmed the dagger and stared at the goblins, watching as one of the mana ropes dissipated.
Standing up, the goblin looked towards me, its small eyes radiating fear and wariness.
Scooping up a rock and stick, the goblin remained still, before chittering at me.
Unlike before, this chittering was low and shaky, almost like the goblin was pleading.
Taking a step towards me, it looked up at me, a tear falling from its beady eyes.
I lowered my stance, watching as it got closer to me.
After taking another small step forwards, the goblin grinned widely as it jumped towards me, cackling as it swung the rock towards me and stabbed with the stick.
I sighed in annoyance, swaying to the side before flicking the blade upwards.
