The Era of Tower Defense: I Have Super Enhancement Novel - Chapter 21
Chapter 21: Reclaiming the Temple
Seeing the Goblin Chief leading his men towards the door, Thomas was not in a hurry. He had already made arrangements at the door and was not worried that the Goblins would escape.
Thomas continued to lead his men to kill the Goblins.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of arrows killed another five or six Goblins.
Arriving at the door of the temple, the Goblin Chief kicked open the door of the temple and took the lead to rush out.
However, before it could take two steps, more than ten bright red spikes emerged from the ground and pierced into its body.
The Goblin Chief was only a level 2 dark creature.
Facing the level 3 Blood Spike trap, it had no way to fight back and was directly pierced into a sieve.
The few Goblins who followed closely behind did not have time to stop and also crashed into the Blood Spike trap.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of sharp spikes appeared once again, piercing through the Goblins who had crashed into them.
The sharp spikes were retracted.
Clack, clack, clack…
One after another, the Goblins’ corpses collapsed to the ground. A gust of wind blew past, and the corpses scattered with the wind, leaving only a few magic cores on the ground.
Seeing the magic cores fall to the ground one after another, the Goblins who were following later were all dumbfounded.
They stared blankly at the ground, none of them willing to go over.
However, Arya and the others, who were standing on the window, did not give them too much space to think. They directly shot arrows at the group again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of arrows once again killed a few Goblins on the spot.
“Jump over! This is a spike trap. I’ve seen it before. Its attack range is only one meter. As long as we jump over, we can escape for our lives!” an old Goblin shouted loudly.
It had seen this kind of trap once. At that time, hundreds of warriors of the tribe had died in this kind of trap. It was the Great Chieftain who had discovered the flaw of this trap, which was still fresh in its memory.
Seeing that the few Goblins were still hesitating, the old Goblin decided to demonstrate it itself.
“You guys follow me and do it together!”
The old Goblin took two steps forward and jumped forward.
Although it was already old, it had been training hard to jump because of the shadow of the spike trap.
It was so that one day when it faced the spike trap again, it could easily jump over it.
The heavens did not disappoint those who were willing. After a long period of practice, it had become the king of the Goblins’ long jumpers, able to jump 1.5 meters in one go.
It was more than half the distance of the other Goblins.
The old Goblin leaped and spread its arms, flying forward like a big bird.
After flying a distance of one and a half meters, it flew a distance of one and a half meters until it landed on the ground at a distance of one and a half meters.
“Mm, it’s even farther than before.” The old Goblin nodded in satisfaction. It was ready to turn around and enjoy the adoration of its fellow Goblins.
However, it suddenly felt a burst of pain under its feet.
It lowered its head to look. It turned out that several blood-red spikes had pierced through its body from the ground.
“Impossible!” The old Goblin’s face was full of shock.
“I’ve already crossed the distance of one meter and jumped over the attack range of the spike trap. How could I still be injured by the spike trap? What’s going on?”
The old Goblin’s heart was filled with doubt.
However, no one could answer his question.
The old Goblin’s body turned into powder, turning into a white magic core that fell to the ground.
Once the old Goblin died, the remaining Goblins became even more flustered.
The old Goblin was publicly acknowledged as the king of the long jump in the tribe. Now that even the old Goblin hadn’t jumped past the range of the trap, there was even less hope for them.
There were traps in front and deadly arrows behind. The Goblin tribe was in a desperate situation.
Suddenly, a Goblin shouted loudly, “Quickly go to the back door! There is a back door at the back of the temple. It is very hidden. Those despicable humans will not set traps there. As long as we rush over, we will be able to live!” At this moment, another Goblin who coveted the throne of the Chief stood out.
At this moment, the Goblins who were still alive were already panicking. After hearing the call from someone, they immediately ran towards the back door.
When these Goblins ran to the back door, there were only five Goblins left in the Goblin tribe that originally had thirty people.
“Rush out.”
The leading Goblin roared loudly, opened the back door, and rushed out.
However, what they never expected was that there was a Blood Spike trap installed outside the back door.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Caught off guard, these Goblins were pierced through and turned into magic cores.
Looking at the magic cores on the ground, Thomas sneered.
“Filthy dark creatures! Intruding into the temple of the Goddess of Life, you still want to leave?”
Thomas brought everyone back to the ground from the window and picked up the magic cores on the ground.
Thirty Goblins dropped 15 magic cores, barely meeting the standard.
Thomas brought everyone to the front of the altar of the Goddess of Life.
Fortunately, the Goblins only took the decorations on the altar and did not damage the altar itself.
Thomas placed the level 2 magic core of the Goblin Chief on the altar and began to pray.
“Respected Goddess of Life, your believers offer you high respect. Previously, a group of dark creatures had invaded your temple. I have banished these filthy dark creatures to the darkness forever. Now, I offer the magic core of their leader. May your glory forever shine on the earth.”
After Thomas finished praying, the image of the Goddess of Life appeared on the altar.
The Goddess of Life picked up the magic core and looked at it carefully.
“That’s right. It’s the bandits who infected my temple. I’m glad that you can help me expel these dirty dark creatures. I have never been stingy with rewards for warriors.”
As the Goddess of Life spoke, a set of armor appeared in front of Thomas.
“This is the armor I made from the leaves of the Kingdom of God. It can block any attack from dark creatures below level 5.”
“Thank you, Goddess.” Thomas received the armor with a face full of joy.
This armor could actually block any attack from dark creatures below level 5. Didn’t that mean that as long as the opponent was not a dark creature above level 5, it would be free to kill?
“If you can take over the entire town, I will give you a higher reward,” the Goddess of Life continued.
“Your will is my mission. Your glory will be redistributed to every corner of the town. All dark creatures will be expelled,” Thomas said respectfully.
“I look forward to your good news, my warrior.” The image of the Goddess of Life disappeared.
‘There is actually a better reward. It seems that the recovery of the entire town will be accelerated,’ Thomas thought seriously.
