The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Chieftain Takedown

Third person's POV

The rescue group entered the goblin nest along with a dozen Elves. The rest of the rescue army stood guard outside the nest.

They're surprised to see the creatures that were living in the place hewn around, lifeless, black blood is the main background of the scene.

Lief said with slight disbelief Did that Kiyan do all this by himself?

Wilhelmina didn't sense the familiar dark magic lingering in the area for she thought Kiyan had gone to rage again Probably, yes.

Axel commented as he stooped before a corpse Look at what he did to this. Looking at a goblin with its lower half gone.

Elsa thought I hope that he's alright. Dianne asked Don't you think that he's a bit reckless in doing this? You know, he could've been totally outnumbered and killed by these.

Sylvana replied Apparently, on what happened here, their numbers weren't enough. Axel exclaimed That's crazy! There must be more than a hundred of them here! He's probably injured somewhere within.

Athena thought as he passed them You have no idea. Recalling the Ju-an Clan war against Masamune Clan.

Vantra said as she stepped nonchalantly on the corpses while walking to the other tunnel One single human with no magic did this by himself?

Izanami grunted You're asking yourself. Izanagi added Princess Titania must've been taken deeper in their lair. He probably attempted sneaking in but with all these things running around, he took the harder way.

Meanwhile, Sylvia is taking pictures and recording their proceedings in the nest like some first time tourist.

He ordered an Elf to bring in half of the army inside the first area before they entered the tunnel.

Yes, Sir.

Liliana, Alexander, and Sylvana are on the lead while the Mederiena siblings are on the back as they walked through the tunnel.

Valien commented I smell some kind of unusual odor coming from the end of the tunnel.

Izanagi added I noticed that too, it's different from those goblin corpses, this one seems...light.

They arrived on the next cavern area, noticing that the area is where prisoners captured by the creatures are held there. They saw the wooden cells destroyed, indicating that whoever is inside must have been set or broke free.

Erica, who is observing the place closely, noticed that Janus, who is beside her, is tapping her shoulder What is it?

Janus pointed, his finger slightly shaking. Erica looked at the direction he's pointing at - to the far left side of the cavern...

...they didn't notice first for their eyes are focused in front of them.

Erica's eyes widened in shock If Kiyan is the one who did that.., all I can say is that he's a total monster.

The others heard her query and looked at the direction Janus and Erica are looking at...

...and they saw a corpse of a giant spider that was cut in half!

Valien muttered in surprise Goodness! Vantra said, heading towards it first This creature is an Ern'dule'ik - the Man-Eater.

The rest of them can't help but he amazed on what they witnessed. Valien asked Did Kiyan really do this by himself?

Axel drew his sword and cautiously poked the head of the spider Yep, it's truly dead.
