Reborn as God: The strongest system

If he was only a fire elemental mage he might not have been able to fire it with any significant impact. It was already so big that if it touched anything it would explode.

But Esdras was not willing to compromise like that, he still had the wind element under his control. Tendrils of green wind began to form in front of his hand, like a vortex, and the speed kept increasing.

The vortex of wind became so sharp that it could cut through metal like a hot knife through butter. With a shout, he slammed the vortex into the fireball and fired it at the ant nest.

What he did not expect was that the wind vortex fused with the fireball as it was launched at such a speed that it created, tearing sounds in the air.

Fortunately, they were standing on a hill far away, this was why they were confident in escaping the blast from their current position. There was also no chance of tree branches triggering the explosion of the fireball early.

Some of the goblins riding on the giant ants heard a disturbing noise, they were casually patrolling. On this day they were lazing about as the annoying adventurers were going to be taken care of.

So they didn't bother to patrol very far although they received orders, even their superiors did not seem very strict today.

However, attracted by the noise, some of them looked up only to see… a meteor shooting from above at a horrifying speed and crashing into their nest, right in the center.

The air pressure and heat combined to create a terrible explosion that sounded like an earthquake. Most of the goblins close to the explosion disappeared at once.

One of the goblins who escaped the blast fell down from the giant ant it was riding, there was smoke everywhere, and he couldn't breathe properly.

The nest they were proud of was like a fortress, it was the proof of the conquest of the forest. But now there was a gaping hole in the middle of it – and smoke was rising to the sky from it.

He could not hear properly, as there was a ringing noise in his ear. He could see some of the goblins that survived, trying to put out the fire. But it wouldn't be easy.

They were forced to flee, it seemed that it was impossible for them to beat the humans in this situation.

The goblins were running blindly, trying to avoid the fire.

A goblin fell from atop its giant ant. It was not dead, but the fall was too much for it, and it was badly injured.

Another one lost its grip, and fell to the ground, unable to move. A third one was burned by the fire, and started screaming.

All these sound effects were playing in Esdras' head.

While this was happening, in reality the fireball was spreading throughout the entire cave.

Since the cave was very large, this was not actually a problem, but the smoke made it difficult for the goblins who were still alive to see where they were going.

At least one goblin died from falling to his death. Another one was crushed by the giant ant it was riding, unable to free itself.

They were panicked, and without discipline, the goblins ran around in every direction as they tried to escape the burning fire.

This was the perfect opportunity for Esdras to hunt them down, and kill them.

He used the wind elemental to blow the smoke away and spread it around the cavern. They would be able to see again soon.

Some of the unlucky goblins turned into charred bodies and they somehow survived, this was why they were unlucky.

He was the furthest one from the blast, this was why he was relatively fine, however, he could not walk at first he was completely out of balance. There was also a gripping fear that made him unable to do anything.

When he was finally able to hear once again, he heard footsteps approaching from the forest.

"Can you shoot another one?" he heard the human ask. It was a human voice that was how he knew.

" Do you think you can keep them distracted for 10 minutes or more?" Another voice answered, sounding annoyed.

The goblin shivered, he had no idea what exactly happened, but he had a terrible feeling that that meteor was not entirely natural. From the sound of it, these horrifying humans were responsible for it.

Esdras took one mana potion to recover after all, casting those two spells consumed half of his mana too quickly and this made him dizzy and he felt a slight headache.

It was not easy to cast such a spell for him, after all, he just recently advanced, and this was all done through three skills instead of using a spell so the consumption of mana was simply ridiculous.

It had to be said that his mana stat was now at 8, too great for a recently advanced mage.

The limit of rank 2 should be 12 for each stat, it was just an educated guess.

He did not expect the two spells to create such a synergy, in ordinary circumstances, the destruction would not have been that great.

Esdras admired the results of his own power and confirmed that he himself did something like this, it was a great feeling of accomplishment. Finally, his own power had reached such a degree.

[+ 210 EXP]

The day would come when he could do something like this casually.

One fallen goblin Was looking at them, Esdras thought that it was such a great coincidence, just when they wanted to look for a goblin to interrogate they found one.

"Hey, there little friend? Are you OK? Do you need some water?" Esdras kindly took out his own water skin and gave it to the goblin.

But the goblin, unfortunately, refused his kindness and kept staring at him in a trance. So he gave him a couple of hard slaps until he finally responded.

"Hik! Yes yes!" The goblin looked at him and he took the water skin but he didn't drink. He seemed like he didn't know what to do with it. But that was fine.

Esdras mainly feared that the goblin wouldn't be able to communicate with them, but it seems that he was in luck today.

"Where is Redthorn keeping the box that you took from us? You know about it, don't try to lie to me as long as you give it to us or tell me where it is we will leave here."

Thank God, he looked around at them, but it seems that he did not have the heart to refuse, or he was probably already shaken after witnessing that spell.

"You are the adventurers? He… he keeps the box in his throne room, above the top."

Esdras frowned, he thought that it was kept down underground, but it seems that what Wiggletoes said was true, Redthorn was obsessed with the box and kept it with him.

"Do you know where the traps are hidden? If you take us up there, without any trickery then I will spare your life, how about it?"
