Lucelle found a chance to hide in a large tree. She couldn't believe that there was still an abundant tree when almost all of them were withered. And just when she saw the branches she trampled, she thought of an idea.
She mumbled a spell and out of nowhere, a flaming bow was materialized. She picked three branches and injected her fire essence on. She then used it as an arrow to the flaming bow.
In a blink of an eye, the two guarding goblins was shot by the two arrows on their forehead and died, while the warrior goblin managed to dodge the remaining arrow.
Before the large tree was destroyed by the sorcery goblins' attacks, she already took few branches.  The warrior goblin tried to attack her with a short sword, but blocked it with her left hand and the short sword suddenly melted as she engulfed her left with fire magic.
The warrior goblin was stunned and shocked, so Lucelle used that chance to stab his heart with one of the branches. The branch covered with fire essence pierced through into the warrior goblin's heart and then, Lucelle pulled the branch that made the blood flowed out. The warrior goblin cried in anguish.
"That's what you get for sacrificing human beings!" Lucelle firmly exclaimed to the warrior goblin before he closed his eyes.
When Lucelle felt the upcoming attack of the remaining enemies, the five sorcery goblins, she skillfully jumped to the other side near the children who were now amazed by the fighting.
"Thanks god, they are safe," Lucelle whispered to herself.
When the children ran onto her, Lucelle made a fire barrier just to ensure safety. Even if the enemies were to attack, it could still take some time before the barrier broke out.
The children hugged her tightly as if they never wanted to let her go. They were really happy and hopeful that someone came to save them. Their smiles as they wiped their tears really made Lucelle's heart melted.
"Powerful sister, are you here to save us?" one of the children spoke out bravely.
Lucelle smiled and nodded, "Yes, I came here to help you get out of this hell place. So be brave and nevery cry again. And be sure you will never leave the barrier I made for all of you, or else, even I can't guarantee your safety if anything would happen to you, guys. Understand?"
"Yes! We will obey powerful sister's words!" the children screamed in unison as a reply.
"Good!" she uttered, then face to the boy who spoke earlier, "What's your name?"
"Jake," the boy answered.
"Then Jake, will you promise me that you will take care of them and will never allow them to take even a singke step out of the barrier?"
Jake nodded twice, "I will do as what you say, poweful sister!"
"What a good boy. Then let me punish those goblins for you, guys."
As she said goodbye to the children, Lucelle came out from the barrier.
Immediately, she threw a fire bomb to the 2nd-circle sorcery goblin, the strongest among them. Though Lucelle knew it couldn't be able to kill the sorcery goblin, at least it could buy her some time dealing the other sorcery goblins. As soon as the fire bomb exploded and smoke broke out, she quickly faced the 4 sorcery goblins.
Just like earlier, she used the branches including the one that pierced the warrior goblin's heart as an arrow and properly aimed them to the four sorcery goblins.
Even though a barrier was made by the joint power of the 4 sorcery goblins that meant to block Lucelle's successive attacks, it was still not enough. Two of the arrows were able to penetrate the barrier and then, it went into four sorcery goblins. Out of the four, two of them were shot down to death by the two arrows; one in the throat and the other one in the mouth.
As the barrier broke down, Lucelle casted two ball of flames in each hand instantly. The remaining two sorcery goblins aside from the 2nd-circle goblin couldn't react right away and as such, they were burned to death.
Now, the only alive is the strongest among them, the 2nd-circle sorcery goblin.
The smoke caused by the fire bomb was dispersed and the source goblin's gaze was full of anger and sharp as if it could kill Lucelle.
"H-how dare you... How dare a lowly creature killed my brethren... I will never forgive you..." the sorcery goblin screamed, "Oh, Lord Dominus of Darkness! I implore you, give me your blessing! Undead Awakening!"
From the ground, hundreds of human skeletons rose up while the dead bodies of the 8 goblins came back to life with memories not intactile and and strength being reduced into half.
These bastards...! Just how many humans did they took?! They are not goblins, but more like demons. They are demons! Merciless demons!
Lucelle was surrounded by them, meanwhile the sorcery goblin boisterously laughed few meters away from her.
"Then let's see if you lowly human can survive this!"
The human skeletons were just ordinary people when they were still alive, so they were not a threat to Lucelle but they were too many. And even though she felt guilty didn't want to burn them as they were once human being, she had no choice because they were controlled.
Maybe if they were alive or had consciousness, they would prefer to destroy their skeletons to relieve themselves from sufferings. Unfortunately, they didn't have any soul. Lucelle consulted herself not to feel guilty.
As human skeletons and goblins rushed through toward her, she conjured ball of flames on each hands and casted it each side of her. Some of the human skeletons and goblins who got caught in the range of the ball of flames were into ashes.
After that, she took three branches and used them as an arrow to the flaming bow that was just materialized. She aimed the branches at the sky and it scattered into three ways, then it fell down toward the horde of human skeletons. As soon as the branches landed down on the ground, a huge explosion occured.
With the remaining human skeletons and goblins, she used here fire magic to burn them down until no one was seen alive.
When Lucelle noticed that the sorcery goblin vomited blood due to the backlash, she made the flaming bow disappeared and took that chance to materialize a fiery spear. The fiery spear was aimfully thrown by her to the sorcery goblin and it pierced through to the heart, making the sorcery goblin perished.
She took a heavy breathe, "Finally, it ended!"
But when she took a step to go to the children, she was stunned by an earsplitting sound.
"What's up with this commotions?!" another goblin with a double-size of a normal goblin suddenly appeared 2 meters away from the children.
"Damn! Why did I forget?! If there was a guarding guard, warrior and sorcery goblin, then there would surely be a chieftain!" she thought.
Out of frustration, Lucelle noticed the chieftain's color of eyes.
"Why is it crimson eyes just like the goblins I killed? Is he also being controlled? Then who?" another thought of her.
The she looked at the black coffin.
"Perhaps the one they worshipped, 'Lord Dominus, in the black coffin? But how, if he was still in slumber?" she mumbled.
