"Kyaaa!!!" The young lady screamed again.

"Graaah!!!" The goblin also shouted in shock.

Then, the two ran in opposite directions.

"What happened!?" Hannah jumped out of the house with Nora.

The goblin suddenly blew a trumpet which made a loud sound.

"Tsk! He called his friends!" Nora pulled out a knife from the small bag on her waist. With one swing, she threw the knife, and it plunged straight into the back of the goblin's head. The little monster fell instantly.

While Nora approached the goblin to get her knife, Hannah and Alex looked at Elise, who was still running. She staggered strangely at having to keep her pants from falling again.

"Looks like she's really traumatized by the goblins." Hannah raised an eyebrow.

"And now she's running away from responsibility." Nora snorted in annoyance, also looking at Elise who was already quite far away.

"Hey! Hey! Listen to me, Elise! Come back to them!" Raymund continued to scream, but Elise kept running. "You have to fight those goblins!"

"That's not possible!" Elise shouted back and was on the verge of tears. She kept trying to tie the rope around her pants. However, because she was too nervous, the job felt like a super formidable task. "I can't possibly fight such a monster!"

"Please, listen to me!" Raymund was getting frustrated. "I don't want to use lightning bolts to stop you!"

"Argh!" Elise slumped forward, causing her pants to sag again. Her smooth bum was exposed for the second time. It turned out she had only raised her pants, but her panties were still in the middle of her thighs. No wonder the way she ran was weird, like a scared goose.

"You can't really die. No matter how many times you lose your life, I will continue to resurrect you." Raymund said with a cold tone.

"Still, I wasn't prepared for something like that!" Elise, who was adjusting the position of her panties, started to shed tears.

"Unfortunately, those adventurers aren't like you who got God's blessing. One stab on their chest and they will lose their lives."

Elise was stunned immediately.

"Remember your family, Elise. Yeah, we don't know yet whether they really are dead or not. But you must have felt it, right? That guilt? If only you had done something more, you would really be able to save your family. Maybe you should be able to find the source of the fire before it gets big or something?" Raymund said that in a deep tone. "And now, you had the power to save those adventurers but chose not to? Wouldn't you be tormented even more with more guilt?"

Elise's mouth opened wide. Raymund's words were cruel but true. If she continued to run like this, she would indirectly be responsible for the adventurers' deaths.

They were too tired and discouraged. If many goblins came, those people wouldn't stand a chance.

The female protagonist bit the corner of her lips. She got up and adjusted the straps on her pants. Her hands were still shaking, but her gaze was focused.

"Okay, Elise." The young woman slapped her cheeks hard. "You can do this!"

Elise's gaze sharpened even more. She stood up straight, determined. The fate of those people is in her hands.

"Why are you still there?" Raymund snorted. "Move your *ss! Now!"

Elise flinched in surprise. "I-I'm sorry!"

The woman ran again, but this time back to where the adventurers were. It turned out that several goblins had surrounded them. Alex was ready with his spear. Nora held a knife while Hannah just clasped her hands together in prayer. They all looked so desperate.

Elise started to slow her pace, surprised by the number of goblins. There are ten of them.

"Don't stop. Take out your sword and attack! You've been training hard, right!? You can do it!" Raymund gave the command in a firm tone.

Despite her doubtful face, Elise drew her greatsword from her back. Her sprinting caught the attention of some of the goblins, but they didn't have time to do anything when Elise slashed one of them in the head.

"Aieee!!!" Elise gasped when the goblin's head was rolling on the ground, covered in blood. Her face was adorned with an expression of immeasurable terror.

"Don't panic!" Raymund shouted again. "Pay attention to the movements of the other."

The other goblins shouted and started attacking Elise. The formation they had set up to encircle the adventurers broken. Elise dodged the monsters and managed to stab one of them.

However, one of the goblins jumped up and slashed her face with a knife. Still shocked by the attack, she didn't notice a single arrow coming.

"Arghhh!!!" Elise screamed in pain as the arrow pierced her thigh.

"Hold your pain! Keep fighting! Remember, only you can save those adventurers!" The God's voice echoed in Elise's ears.

The young woman had almost fallen but managed to keep her feet. She attacks again, continuing to slash or kick the enemies. Even though she was panicking earlier and maybe still panicking now, Elise could still make some pretty good moves. She managed to kill two more goblins, including the archer, but the arrows in her legs reduced her agility. She got slashed by a sharp weapon or hit by a blunt object on her body several times, causing her to suffer from gaping wounds and bruises.

And without her noticing, one of the goblins jumped high while raising its iron club, about to attack the back of Elise's head.

"Watch out!" Raymund gave a warning.

Elise was about to turn her body, but the timing was too late. The goblin was already so close to her head.

"Die!" Alex came out of nowhere and hit the goblin with his spear.

Then, from behind, Nora slit the throat of one of the goblins with her knife.

The remaining goblins then fled. However, Hannah stuck her foot out, tripping one of them.

"I'm not just an ordinary healer who only watches my friends fight!" The blonde woman hit the goblin's head with a large rock.

"Sorry, we were late." Alex gave a bitter smile to Elise. "Honestly, we intended to run away and leave everything to you. We're too desperate… And thanks, by the way. My name is Alex."

"Sorry if I gave you bad news." Nora joined in before Elise could reply. "But, goblins smear their weapons with their own feces and urine. Something nasty will happen if you don't do anything about your wounds soon."

Elise shuddered. The thought of her wound covered in excrement and pee made her want to throw up again.

"Unfortunately, our healer has run out of mana," Alex added, wincing at the sight of Elise's wounds.

"Well…" Elise laughed nervously. "As God's employee, I can't really die…."

Elise stopped her speech when she heard heavy footsteps approaching fast.

"No..." Hannah shook her head as she looked off into the distance.

A ten-foot goblin with muscular build ran towards Elise and the adventurers. He slammed his gigantic mace into the little goblins approaching him, sending them into the air.
