OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

Chapter 167: Chapter 166: Defeat



The members of the Black Scripture originally believed this was a fair duel. However, just when they thought their enemies were merely five goblins, a barrage of arrows rained down upon them.

"Goblin Faith Power!" the goblin tactician cast a spell.

The five Red Caps began to glow, their strength significantly enhanced.

As the tactician of the goblin army, the goblin tactician was the highest-ranked among the goblins. While lacking in combat capabilities, it possessed an extensive repertoire of support magic that could enhance the strength of large numbers of soldiers. Similarly, it could provide significant boosts to a smaller number of units as well.

Under the glow of this spell, all goblins' strength increased by 10%.

"Myriad Barriers" used his massive shield to protect "Infinite Magic," while the others blocked the incoming arrows with their weapons.

As soon as the arrow barrage ended, the five Red Caps charged forward.

"Divine Chains," wielding a chain weapon, struggled to change his attacks quickly. He narrowly avoided having his arm sliced off by a Red Cap's blade.

"Infinite Magic," preparing to cast a spell under the protection of "Myriad Barriers," suddenly felt a dagger pierce her heart from behind.

The assailant was a goblin assassin.

The group had focused all their attention on the Red Caps before them, completely failing to notice the goblin assassin hidden among them.

If "Heaven and Earth" were still alive, he would have undoubtedly detected the goblin assassin. However, he was already dead.

Without "Heaven and Earth," the group's counter-surveillance abilities were significantly weakened, leaving them unable to detect the hidden assassin.

"Infinite Magic" never imagined she would die at the hands of a goblin.

"Myriad Barriers" turned and slammed his massive shield toward the goblin assassin, but the latter deftly dodged the attack.

In that brief moment when "Myriad Barriers" turned, a Red Cap seized the opportunity, swinging a scythe at his unprotected back.

Blood spurted out, and while the others wanted to help, they were powerless to do so.

The strongest human was entangled by two goblins, while the Holy Knight and Divine Chains were also caught up in battles with goblins in front of them.

Under the goblin tactician's blessing, the strength of the Red Caps was fully on par with their opponents.

"Myriad Barriers" found himself surrounded by the goblin assassin and a Red Cap, forced to barely fend off the Red Cap's attacks while enduring the goblin assassin's strikes with his body.

At that moment, a goblin riding a white warhound entered the Goblin Duel Arena.

The so-called Goblin Duel Arena was not a fair battleground. Goblins could freely come and go, but other races could not.

The newcomer was the Goblin Paladin Captain (Level 42).

The Goblin Paladin Captain joined forces with two Red Caps to attack the strongest human.

Though hailed as the strongest human, even he struggled to hold off three formidable goblins at once.

In this critical moment, the Holy Knight abandoned all defense against the goblin before him and launched an all-out assault on the goblin restraining Divine Chains.

Caught off guard by the Holy Knight's sudden attack, the goblin fighting Divine Chains failed to dodge and had an arm severed.

However, the goblin battling the Holy Knight took the opportunity to inflict a massive wound across the Holy Knight's back.

At the same time, Divine Chains unleashed his ultimate move.

"Heavenly Chains!"

The goblin attacking the Holy Knight from behind was bound tightly by chains.

The Holy Knight swung his greatsword with all his might, turning and slicing through the Red Cap goblin's neck, sending its head flying.

"Goblin Faith Power!"

"Healing!"

As a support-class professional, the goblin tactician could perform low-level resurrection magic.

With a wave of his feather fan, the goblin whose arm had been severed regrew it.

The decapitated Red Cap goblin also had its body and head reattached. However, though its head was back in place, it lost its ability to fight and lay motionless on the ground.

The goblins had someone to heal their wounds, but the Holy Knight had no one to tend to his injuries. The only spellcaster, Infinite Magic, was already dead.

Without immediate treatment for the massive wound on his back, his death was inevitable.

Meanwhile, the strongest human was also covered in injuries. Surrounded by three powerful goblins, he was clearly struggling to hold his ground.

Though Divine Chains wielded a divine-grade weapon, the chain's lethality was low, being better suited for capturing enemies alive.

At this moment, Divine Chains and the Holy Knight joined forces to attack the Red Cap goblin before them.

The Holy Knight ignored the wounds on his body entirely. As a paladin, his faith was paramount, and he was prepared to die for his beliefs.

"For my country, I willingly offer my life!"

"Pfft!" Blood spurted from the Holy Knight's mouth.

A dagger's blade tip had suddenly pierced through his chest at the location of his heart.

A goblin assassin had appeared behind him, driving the dagger through the wound on his back, piercing straight into his heart.

As the Holy Knight fell, Divine Chains lost the will to continue fighting.

Within the Black Scripture, Divines had the closest relationship with the Holy Knight.

On the other side of the battlefield, Myriad Barriers was not proficient in one-on-one combat. He was primarily a protector, but with Infinite Magic already dead, there was no one left to protect.

He found himself besieged by a Red Cap and the goblin assassin.

Ultimately, unable to endure his severe injuries, Myriad Barriers collapsed.

The Red Cap goblin swung its scythe, severing Myriad Barriers' head.

Having lost all hope, Divine Chains was also slain by the Red Cap goblin in front of him.

The only one left resisting was the strongest human, whose body was now covered in hundreds of wounds.

Other goblins arrived to support the fight and killed the strongest human, who was still struggling to hold on.

With this, the Black Scripture of the Slane Theocracy was utterly annihilated.

The only survivors were Divine Chat and Thousand Leagues, who remained in Nazarick.

Outside the Imperial army's camp, three Scripture units were still waiting for the Black Scripture team to send a signal.

The plan was to signal their success in killing Anri by launching a fireball into the sky. Naturally, the task of sending the signal had been assigned to Infinite Magic.

However, from the beginning of the battle to their deaths, the Black Scripture members never had a moment's respite.

Infinite Magic had died so suddenly that she didn't even realize how it happened.

The three Scripture units still had no idea that they were already surrounded by goblins hiding in the shadows.

The goblin tactician had anticipated that the enemy commander would choose a decapitation strategy and had made preparations in advance.

He had ordered the most stealthy goblin, the Goblin Assassin Captain, to guard Anri, along with four Red Caps.

However, Anri herself intervened, instructing her subordinates not to stay up all night guarding her at the door, as she felt it was unnecessary.

In the end, under the strong insistence of the goblin tactician, the guards were reduced to just two Red Caps.

While the three Scripture units continued waiting for the Black Scripture members' signal, a barrage of fireball magic rained down upon them.

Caught completely off guard, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

As the magic subsided, goblin beast cavalry and the goblin paladin charged directly into their ranks.

A group of spellcasters engaging in close combat against cavalry was a completely one-sided slaughter.

The three captains of the Scripture units were powerless to turn the tide and all met brutal deaths under the goblins' blades.
