Axel chuckled, understanding Alwen's perspective. "I can see why. Adventuring offers more freedom and excitement compared to the routine of guarding a fortress. But your decision to join the castle guards shows your dedication to protecting others, and that's admirable." Alwen nodded, a hint of pride in his eyes. "Thank you, Axel. I believe that in my position, I can make a difference and ensure the safety of those who reside within the fortress walls. It may not be as glamorous as adventuring, but it's a responsibility I willingly shoulder." As they continued their conversation, Luna and Evelyn approached, their earlier jealousy dissipated. Luna smiled warmly. "You know, Axel, it's not just luck that brought us together. We chose to be with you because we believe in your strength, your character, and the bond we share. We're grateful to have you as our leader." Evelyn nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Axel. You've shown us time and again that you possess the qualities of a true hero. Y

The adventurers finally heeded my words and started retreating, their injured comrades carried away to safety. I stood at the forefront, my sword gleaming with a crimson aura, ready to face the incoming horde of goblins. Jeanne and Alwen fought by my side, their skills complementing my own. Together, we formed an impenetrable wall, striking down goblins with precision and efficiency. Jeanne's heavy swings cleaved through multiple enemies at once, while Alwen's swift and precise strikes incapacitated any goblin that dared to approach. Ellie soared through the air, breathing streams of scorching flames that engulfed groups of goblins, reducing them to ash. Her ferocity and power were unmatched, a testament to her ancient lineage as a black dragon.

With the defeat of the goblin horde and the revelation of the Goblin King's presence, our attention turned towards the heart of the demon forest. It was clear that the source of the ongoing disturbances and the true resolution lay within its depths. We made our way through the dense foliage, the air growing heavier with each step. The sounds of nature gave way to an eerie silence, and the atmosphere became charged with an unsettling energy. We could feel the gaze of unseen creatures lurking in the shadows, observing our every move. As we ventured deeper, the forest seemed to twist and contort, the very essence of darkness seeping into its core. The trees became gnarled and menacing, their branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. The ground beneath us felt treacherous, as if it held secrets and traps waiting to be sprung. Suddenly, we found ourselves standing before a towering gate, its blackened iron bars adorned with ominous symbols. This was the entrance to the realm of the de
With the immediate threat of the goblins subdued, we decided to let Jeanne, Alwen, and Jack handle the remaining powerful monsters while we took a moment to catch our breath. Despite the intense battle, we were relieved to see that everyone in our party was safe and relatively unharmed. Concerned about Ellie's well-being, I pointed out the large axe hovering above her head. She seemed surprised and confused, realizing that it could have been a fatal blow if she were a human. We were reminded once again of the extraordinary abilities and vulnerabilities that came with our unique circumstances. Luna joined us, her feet gently touching the ground as she landed beside me. I checked her condition to ensure she was unscathed, relieved to find her unharmed as well. With the immediate danger passed, the group contemplated their next move. Evelyn raised the question of whether we should assist the guards in dealing with the remaining monsters. Considering the strength and experience of Jeann
With her renewed determination, Jeanne launched a series of swift and precise attacks, targeting the weak points of the Goblin King's defenses. Her swordsmanship was a testament to her skill and experience, as she gracefully dodged the goblin king's powerful strikes while retaliating with deadly accuracy. Alwen, recovering from the earlier blow, swiftly joined the fray, his greatsword clashing against the goblin king's massive machete. Together, Jeanne and Alwen formed a formidable duo, their synchronized movements and strategic coordination putting immense pressure on their adversary. Meanwhile, I kept a watchful eye on the battle, ready to step in if needed. My hand tightened around the hilt of my sword, prepared to lend my strength to my comrades should the situation require it. Jack, having regained his balance, took up his bow once again. His arrows flew through the air with precision, aiming for the gaps in the Goblin King's armor. Although the arrows didn't penetrate deeply,
