My King System

Chapter 167 - Disappointment



Right after Yuki had given him the command, the mini boss from the 9th stage of the 2nd dungeon leaped in the air as fast as he could as he tried to take down the goblins which were coming inside the kingdom. While the smaller goblins were basically like mindless children to him, Yuki's summon would face his real challenge in the form of the 3 giant goblins which each had large wooden clubs which looked to be the tools they used to break the kingdom walls. That alone should've given a hint to Yuki as to how strong the enemies he would have to face were. 

While this was going on, the citizens either ran away from the wall which the goblins were coming out of and tried to make it to the other side of the kingdom in hopes that some hero would rescue them. Others however chose to hide in their homes as running to the other side of the kingdom would only slow down the inevitable. However, deciding to hide in small areas of a house which was already small compared to the goblins was more of a safe bet as to survival. Although, of course there was the possibility that the goblins would just either step on the houses or destroy them for fun. Either way, it was a game of luck. 

Yuki's summon went around as he crushed all of the small goblins' hearts with ease as he forcibly shoved his whole arm across their chest and killed them before they even realized. However, once he was noticed by one of the larger goblins, he was instantly smacked into the wall of the kingdom which was surprisingly far away from where he was. For some odd reason, the larger goblins could move a lot faster than Yuki expected them to. He had thought that with sheer speed, even if it took many hours, his summon could defeat them. If Yuki had known that speed didn't matter in the battle, he would've called on hades. However, even though he had thought that, he couldn't do anything about it. It was too late to hold a whole summoning ritual by drinking dozens of stamina boost potions. Yuki's only hope was to watch as the demon struggled to battle his opponents. 

As such, Yuki's summon managed to get back up even after receiving such a devastating blow to the head. The monster quickly got up from the ground and sprinted at speeds even Yuki couldn't see and crashed into the left cheek of the goblin which managed to land the attack on him. 

[Unconscious Breathing]

Using the claws which stretched out of his hands, Yuki's summon began to fly around everywhere so the goblins wouldn't be able to see, let alone stop him mid air. With each second that passed, there were dozens more scratches on the goblins' skin than there were the previous second. Even could tell from afar that his summon was losing it. His mind was already broken but due to the position he was placed in the fight, he was stopping to think at all. All his movements were controlled by his bloodlust and anger. 

Even so, the goblins which were part of the event were not going to be easy to take down. Although both Yuki and his summon thought that the goblins couldn't see the demon, they were far from wrong. The goblins could clearly see each and every step that their so-called opponent was making. The only reason they didn't bother to do anything about him was because he was too insignificant. It wasn't like he would taste good for them either since he was a monster just like them. All they sought was humans and only humans. However, as time went on, the monster from the 9th stage of the 2nd dungeon had made quite a lot of small scars on all of their bodies. As such, it was time to bring an end to the creature which was just an incest in their eyes.

Within a blink of an eye, one of the goblins brought down his club on Yuki's summon at such speeds that Yuki's summon couldn't move out of the way and had no choice but to bear the attack and take the consequences of it as well, that being the damage which the club had caused to him. Even with all the damage Yuki's summon had suffered, he still got up from the ground as he prepared to fight once again. However, this wasn't because the summon was loyal or caring or even because he had pride. It was nothing even close to that. The reason which Yuki's summon wanted to keep going was because of the crown. It automatically forced any monster to do anything which Yuki wanted. While it made it seem that the monster's actions were of its own free volition, it couldn't be more false. Any and all monsters which Yuki summoned through the powers of "King's Crown" were nothing more than slaves which were forced to fake who they were. 

However, right as Yuki's summon began to prepare himself to leap into the battle once again, the hope in everyone's mind arrived. 

With a single blow to the head, one out of the three large goblins was sent to the ground with a loud bang as the sheer impact of the goblin hitting the ground caused the kingdom's street to break apart. 

While the goblins were caught off guard, they believed that they still had enough manpower to take down whatever enemy which might come their way. Unfortunately for them, that wouldn't be the case as the other 2 larger goblins also got knocked down with a smash to the ground. Once the dust settled in, it became clear as to who had managed to take down the big 3 goblins. 

Seeing the person who had defeated the main threats, that being the 3 larger goblins with clubs in their hands, Yuki called out to his summon instantaneously as he realized who the man was. It was one of the guards which were present at the jail cell he was in after he got captured. No matter what happend, Yuki needed to make sure that he hid the secrets of "King's Crown" at all costs. Not only was it one of, if not his most powerful weapon, it was also an item which no one other than him possesed. If his captors were to find out about it, they would get suspicious and Yuki wouldn't be able to go on with his life in peace.

"You can go back now," said Yuki as he returned his summon back into his crown and sat on his couch as he hoped that nothing would happen to him. The last thing he would need was for him to get noticed by his captures once again. 

[Open inventory]

Yuki placed "King's Crown" back into his inventory as he didn't want to leave any clues as to if he was involved in the event at all. 

...

After some time, the goblins were forcibly removed by the guards and it looked as if they were going to leave for the day. 

"This goblin thing made me miss out on meeting up with my boss. I hope he's understanding about it. This was a special occurrence," said Yuki as he sighed with relief that the guards had left without giving him any trouble but he also felt disappointed because he just might've lost his first job without even starting it. 

"Well, at least I didn't have to talk to those people," said Yuki to himself as he referred to his captures. 

However, Yuki wouldn't be that lucky as he heard knocking at the door. While at first he had assumed that it was his captures who had tracked him down so they could speak to him, Yuki quickly scratched that idea as he told himself that he didn't need to worry about them and it was probably his summon from the 8th stage of the first dungeon who had returned from shopping since he had been gone for a while. 

However, right as Yuki opened the door, he would be disappointed as he came face to face with someone who had a large evil grin on their face. Yuki didn't want anything more than to annihilate the person who was looking him dead in the eyes. However, before the stare down could go on for much longer, the person who was facing Yuki along with his companions who were behind him, invited themselves in and sat on the couch as they looked arrogantly at Yuki. 

"Can I help you?" Yuki asked in confusion as he genuinely didn't know what they wanted from him. 

"This place is seriously boring. All of us here know that when you used to actively raid dungeons on your own, you used to have a lot of silver. So what haven't you added more to it? I mean, you'll be living here forever," the woman of the group spoke to Yuki. 

In total there were 3 of them. The first one was the tall man who stared down at Yuki with an arrogant grin. The second one was a woman who had just spoken to Yuki and lastly, there was another tiny woman who looked to be no older than a 10 year old child which confused Yuki.
