A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"Stop those Fang Wolves!"

Seeing this, the goblins also took action.

They knew Chen Hai was very strong.

But what use is their power if they cannot protect their savior, given that they are named monsters?

The goblins, determined to prove themselves, changed their formation, but their weakness was exploited.

A wolf charged in from the side, its fangs tearing open a goblin's shoulder.

A mournful cry was heard, and gaps began to appear in the ranks.

"Great! It works very well!"

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Fang Wolves realized the importance of the humans behind the goblin formation.

"You guys keep attacking! I'll take care of their leader!"

"understood!"

"Roar--!"

The next moment, the leader of the Fang Wolves let out a deafening roar, and its massive body tore through the scorching air like an arrow, rushing straight towards Chen Hai!

It wants to tear apart the protected humans and demoralize the goblins!

"grown ups!"

Gobuta's roar was filled with terror and despair. He tried to organize a defense, but the leader of the Fang Wolves was too fast and broke through the surrounding defenses in an instant.

Ligurd roared and hurled his spear without hesitation.

The wooden spear tore through the air, but only managed to leave a mark on the wolf leader's tough fur, failing to stop him.

Riglu also tried to intercept him, but another wolf pounced on him fearlessly and entangled him.

Seeing that the claws, powerful enough to tear steel, were about to rip Chen Hai to shreds, the goblins regretted their incompetence.

at the same time……

They were well aware of this as well.

Although I am not capable enough, the savior who gave them names is different!

At this critical moment, a smile appeared on Chen Hai's face behind him.

He slowly raised his right hand, fingers spread, towards the wolf leader who was charging at him.

There was no chanting, no hand seals, and not even a trace of magical energy.

Only a whisper, as soft as a whisper, yet carrying an undeniable power of law originating from the very depths of the world:

"The Wind of Destruction".

This is Veldora—a skill that the sealed storm dragon gave to Chen Hai.

Verudela's explanation for this ability is simply that it's about "blowing" things away. It's pretty straightforward.

So and so——

The next moment, the air in front of Chen Hai's palm began to 'disappear' in a strange way.

It wasn't a howling wind, but rather the space itself silently 'peeling away'.

A nearly transparent 'wind' less than a meter in diameter burst forth from Chen Hai's palm.

It has no color, no sound, yet it carries a terrifying pressure that can annihilate everything.

Wherever this wind passes, the air is 'blown' away and the light is 'bent' away.

Even the path of sunlight showed a brief distortion and break!

The Fang Wolf leader's claws, sharp enough to tear through steel, had barely touched the edge of this 'wind'—

"laugh……"

Like a red-hot iron block being immersed in ice water, or like the most solid glass being struck by a sledgehammer.

There was no explosion, no loud noise.

The wolf leader's claws, along with his forearm, were silently and completely 'melted' away!

It's not the physical cutting of the wind, but the 'matter' and 'existence' that constitute its existence that are swallowed up by the 'destruction' carried by this 'wind'.

Upon witnessing this, Chen Hai realized that Veldora's skills had become incredibly powerful with the enhancement from his own modifiers!

All that could be seen was the head, neck, and forequarters of the Fang Wolf leader—any part swept by this 'wind'—instantly turning into the most primal, meaningless fragments of flesh and blood, which scattered with the wind.

The enormous body twisted and collapsed less than a foot away from Chen Hai's body.

The remaining headless half of the body remained in a forward-leaning posture, hovering stiffly for less than a second, before crashing heavily onto the grass with a 'thud'.

Time seemed to have frozen.

The sun was still scorching, but the temperature on the battlefield suddenly plummeted to freezing.

The remaining wolf pack, regardless of distance, froze in all their movements.

Their crimson beastly eyes reflected the 'wind' that had quietly vanished as if it had never existed in front of Chen Hai's palm, as well as the calm smile on his face.

Goblins, Rigelud, Rigel, Gobuta...

All the surviving soldiers were stunned into silence.

What did they see?

They saw Lord Chenhai raise his hand, and an invisible 'wind' blew past, completely 'blowing' the Fang Wolf leader, who was like a mountain in their eyes, out of the world!

There were no fancy moves, no earth-shattering destruction, only one kind of... absolute, crushing power.

Chen Hai withdrew his hand, as if brushing away a tiny speck of dust.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the petrified fanged wolves and the dazed goblins.

"You can begin the next phase now."

"..."

There was only silence at the scene.

Despite their leader being easily killed, the Garo did not flee.

Instead, Chen Hai saw a shadow emerging from the wolf pack.

That was the chief's son, a fanged wolf with a gray-white mane.

Now it has inherited its father's position as leader and, as the 'strongest of the Fang Wolf Clan,' has begun to command its people.

Seeing this, the goblins prepared to attack again.

"For Lord Chenhai?!"

"Long live Lord Chenhai!"

"Victory is ours!"

Chen Hai then raised his right hand again, the same one that had instantly killed the leader of the Fang Wolf.

Upon seeing this, the Garo's pupils dilated.

The son of the temporary leader of the tribe looked up to the sky and howled. Upon hearing this, the fang wolves behind him lowered their heads and lay prostrate on the ground.

That was a gesture of submission.

The goblins who rushed over were initially puzzled.

But I quickly realized it.

After Chen Hai instantly killed the leader of the Garo, the Garo, realizing the difference in strength, chose to surrender.

"we won!!"

The goblins roared with excitement at their initial victory.

As for the experience points from this battle...

To be honest, it's not even as good as the tenth floor of the underground labyrinth in DanMachi.

So, if we don't consider the strongest characters, is the lower limit of strength in "DanMachi"?

Time travelers have two major advantages.

Know the plot and have a system.

Therefore, after naming them Goblins and taming the Fang Wolves, Chen Hai took them back to the base.

Non-combatants cheered when they saw the goblin warriors return in full force, with the dangling fang wolves following behind them.

Originally, they were among the weakest monsters in this forest, but now, after being given a name by Chen Hai, they have defeated B-rank monsters.

Although Rigurd emphasized that it was Chenhai who killed the leader, basically no one cared about that.

All everyone knew was that they had won.

However, some goblins realized what was happening and discussed with their companions whether they should build more 'Great Chenhai Statue' for everyone to worship.

Chen Hai did not stop them, but instead allowed the goblin warriors and fang wolves to rest for a while before gathering in the square.

The square in the goblin village is piled with wood and stones, so it is somewhat narrow.

This also caused the goblins and fang wolves, who had been fighting each other, to huddle together.

The goblins who had been bullied stared at the Fang Wolf;

The Fang Wolves, who had submitted to Chen Hai's strength, dared not meet his gaze and trembled with fear.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hai coughed.

Seeing this, Ligurd, who was standing nearby, immediately roared.

"Quiet down, everyone! Lord Chenhai is about to speak!"

Hearing this, the wolves raised their heads slightly, and the goblin boys stood up straight.

The situation on the scene was somewhat serious.

Chen Hai stood up and looked around.

According to the original storyline, the goblins actually have potential, and the son of the Garo leader will even evolve into a 'Demon Lord' level being.

Therefore, Chen Hai decided to replicate it.

Mainly because it's more convenient this way...

"Conquering this forest will require more strength. You were enemies before, but that doesn't mean you'll always be enemies."

Chen Hai gestured for the goblin to look at the Fang Wolf beside him.

“From now on, I need you to form one-on-one teams, establish cooperative relationships, and continue to execute my previous plans.”

Then--

"I will give the Garoes names, and with your cooperation, your strength will surely increase greatly."

Upon hearing this, Ligurd looked surprised.

He, who is two meters tall, bent down slightly.

"Lord Chenhai, bestowing names requires a large amount of magic essence, and the stance of these Fang Wolves is unclear. We cannot be certain whether they have truly submitted. Rashly granting them power might cause problems..."

"No need to worry, if these guys want to resist, they will take action when they come to the village."

"is that so……"

"And if they attack you again, I will kill them all immediately."

"I, I understand."

Upon hearing Chen Hai's decisive statement, Ligurd took a step back, then shouted again.

"Gar Wolves! You should hear this! The great Lord Chenhai is going to bestow names upon you! Why are you not coming forward!"

The Garo were still somewhat bewildered by these words.
