Drakengard: Demonic Flower [Demons Souls X Drakengard 3 Crossover]

Chapter 5 - Missions and Miracles

I left the town with a quest paper in my hand that I asked the innkeeper to read to me, according to him, this was a quest to eliminate a group of goblins settled in the forest near town.

What is a goblin anyway?

"Excuse me, sir knight." Someone called me.

I stood face to face with a woman holding a boy in her arms when I turned around.

"How may I help you, Miss?" I asked bowing politely.

"Is it true? Is it true that you healed a blind man?" The woman asked hesitantly with a hopeful glint in her eyes.

What does she mean by it? Yes, I healed an injured beggar, but I doubt I cured his blindness; my miracles do not possess such power.

"Miss, I merely healed that man's injuries; please don't believe the rumors that they tell you." I replied turning around, but the woman grabbed my wrist, stopping me.

"Please, my son is sick! I don't know how much longer he has to live! Please help him!" The woman begged with teary eyes.

I paid more attention to the boy the woman held after Hearing this. He was sickly pale, with dark circles under his eyes, discolored fingernails, and dangerously thin.

I once again remembered the Defilement Valley, so many sick, physically and mentally, abandoned by the world and left to rot.

"Fine, I will heal him." I held my Talisman in one hand and placed the other on the boy's head, then cast Recovery.

"It's done." I said walking away. I hope she doesn't blame me for anything that happens next.

Suddenly, the boy's appearance changed; the color returned to his skin, the dark circles disappeared from his eyes, and his eyes opened.

"Mommy, what happened?" The boy asked his mother who looked at him with teary eyes, hugging her son tighter.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The mother praised the knight, but when she looked around, he was already gone.

It looks like this is the place. I thought as I hid amid the bushes.

A small circular camp composed of wooden tents adorned with bones and fabrics stood in front of me, with a larger tent in its center and three smaller ones around it.

Small green-skinned creatures with pointed ears and noses inhabited the camp. Most wore pieces of worn leather armor while some wore bone pieces and covered themselves with rags, they also held daggers and bent rusty swords,

This shouldn't be difficult, but how will I prove to the guild that I killed the Goblins? Maybe if I take their heads? It should suffice.

I held the Guillotine Ax in my right hand and the Silver Catalyst in my left one. Then I pointed the catalyst at the camp and cast Flame Throw repeatedly.

Flaming projectiles rained down on the tents, the goblins panicked when they saw this and tried to extinguish the fire. Meanwhile, I cast Cloak, becoming invisible, and ran towards my objective.

-XXXXXX-

The goblins stood unprepared; flaming bolts came out of nowhere and set their camp on fire. They tried extinguishing the flames, but unfortunately, there was not enough water in their camp for that.

Two goblins were in front of a burning tent without knowing what to do. Suddenly, the head of one of them flew from its body until it hit the ground a few meters away.
