Chapter 792 Desperate Situation, Encounter with Creatures from the Dark Realm!

Seiya's rebuke immediately brought Kirito and Eugeo to their senses.

Yes, this is the end of the End Mountains, a place sparsely populated and practically a forbidden zone for people from the human realm.

The only people who would appear here and call for help are most likely creatures from the dark world!

Realizing this, Seiya and the other two had no time to care about the Blue Rose Sword anymore, and instead began anxiously searching for Alice's whereabouts.

Following the footprints left on the ground and the shouts along the way, Seiya and his two companions finally found Alice, who looked terrified, at the exit of another cave.

The cries for help that Alice had heard earlier were indeed real, and Alice, who had followed the cries to this place, was soon horrified by what she saw.

A dark knight, clad in full black armor and covered in blood, lay before Alice.

Not far away, a similarly battered dragon was using its body to fend off an attack from a large horde of goblins.

Normally, with the level of a wyvern, wiping out a group of large goblins would be an easy task.

A Dark Knight who can ride a dragon is a force in the dark world whose strength is comparable to that of the "Integration Knight" of the Axiom Church.

However, this dark knight seemed to have been attacked before encountering the large goblin horde. Not only was he seriously injured, but even the dragon's wing was pierced.

The dragon it rode used its last strength to shield its master from the horde of large goblins in order to prevent him from dying.

Seeing the Dark Knight, who fought with his life for his master and lay dying in a pool of blood so close to her, Alice, with her kind heart, finally couldn't bear it and felt compassion.

When Seiya and the others arrived at Alice's location, Alice had already reached into the "Dark Territory" and dragged the wounded Dark Knight into the cave.

As a novice nun, Alice was actually quite aware of the Congregational Church's "Taboo List".

But seeing what was happening before her, Alice, with her compassion and courage, simply couldn't bear to stand by and watch someone die!
When Seiya and the others arrived at Alice's side, Alice was already using her not-so-skilled holy magic to heal the injured Dark Knight.

"Alice, this person must be from the Dark Realm, right? Would it be... possible for you to heal him?"

For people from the human realm to touch the territory of the "Dark Realm" is a forbidden matter, and to help people from the Dark Realm is undoubtedly even more so.

"You all know what kind of personality Alice has."

Regardless of whether she's from the dark world or the human world, do you really think she could do something like this—letting someone in need die without helping them?
Stop talking nonsense and quickly take Alice and get somewhere far away. I might not have time to take care of you anymore!

Seiya said such a thing because the Dark Knight, who was fighting against the goblin horde's dragons, eventually died from exhaustion under the siege of a large group of goblins.

After the dragon's death, the dark goblins naturally shifted their focus to Seiya and his companions.

The Axiom Church on the human side has a "Taboo Index" that forbids them from crossing the territory of the Dark Realm.

However, the Dark Realm doesn't have such restrictions. In fact, due to the decaying and barren land and food shortages, the dark creatures there have often considered crossing the boundary between the two realms.

The white dragon that once dwelled at the end of the End Mountains, whether it was truly protecting the human realm or simply safeguarding its own territory from invasion, did, in a sense, help the human realm defend against many dark creatures. But now that the white dragon is dead, the dark creatures dwelling on the border of the Dark Realm naturally no longer have such concerns.

Of the four, Kirito and Eugeo, despite cutting down trees day and night, are much stronger and more enduring than other children their age. But no matter how strong they are, they are still just children.

Alice, as a novice nun, knew some holy magic, but only a rudimentary understanding, and couldn't offer much help at the moment.

In other words, among the people present, Seiya was the only one with even a little bit of fighting ability, so in order to protect his companions, Seiya naturally had no choice but to hold his longsword and grit his teeth to meet them head-on.

In many anime and novels, goblins are considered "minor" monsters in other worlds. However, the dark goblins in the dark world are not like that at all.

When Seiya blocked a spiked club from the goblin leader with his steel longsword, a sound like a resounding bell echoed through the air.

It was under this attack that Seiya, who was holding his longsword horizontally to block, had his body bent over by the Dark Goblin Leader's blow to the head.

"What astonishing strength! Even Uncle Lute, the village's guard captain, probably couldn't compare. Is this what a creature from the dark world is like?!"

"Ouk, Ouk—!"

Seeing that the short and thin Seiya was able to block his attack head-on, the Dark Goblin leader, who was more than two heads taller than an average adult, was obviously stunned.

However, soon after, amidst his incomprehensible roar, the other ordinary dark goblins also sneaked up behind Seiya and launched a sneak attack on him.

Seiya knew very well that, in terms of physical attributes alone, he was probably no match for the dark goblin leader in front of him, and he also couldn't gain any advantage in terms of numbers.

It's unlikely that you can defeat your opponent by brute force, so you can only win by skill.

To avoid being besieged, his first priority was to weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible.

"boom------!"

The Dark Goblin leader brought down his spiked club again, but this time Seiya didn't choose to take the hit head-on. Instead, he nimbly rolled on the ground to dodge the attack.

And when a dark goblin attempted to ambush him from behind, Seiya spun around and delivered a powerful slash, leaving a deep gash in the goblin's chest.

"Ook—!"

What surprised Seiya was that he had used about 80% of his strength in that sword strike just now, and he originally thought he could kill the dark goblin with one strike.

Unexpectedly, after being struck by his sword, the goblin did indeed fall into a pool of blood and lose its ability to fight.

Judging from its vigorous and energetic state, it clearly doesn't seem like it will die anytime soon.

"Are the creatures of the Dark Realm really this resilient?!"

Seeing their companions being killed, the goblins, with their strong sense of sociality, were completely enraged and began to attack Seiya and Alice and the others behind him!
