Chapter 209 - 207 – Monster Knight.
'This is a lot bigger than I expected.'
Rusty thought to himself as he stepped into the so-called boss chamber. It looked nothing like the other spaces in this void gate, yet it still reminded him of the dungeons in his world. The structures were similar, and the traps and swarms of monsters gave him the same feeling. There were slight differences since they could not retrace their steps to find an exit. Instead, they were forced to search for an exit gate that would appear somewhere within the chamber.
"I don't see anything resembling an exit gate, Gwen. Are you sure we are in the right place?"
He called out to his summoner while she looked across the large cavern. The ceiling vanished into the darkness above, and the walls were lined with many more pulsating red crystals than the other tunnels, which made the entire place glow brightly. He lacked a sense of smell, yet he could still tell from the reactions of his allies that the air was stale. The mana was thick and pooled in several places, which suggested the presence of hidden traps.
"Are you sure, Rusty? Could there be any doors or openings?"
"Now that you mention it, there is a large gate behind that thing."
"T-that thing is a… oh no…"
Gwen hesitated to step any farther once she heard Rusty speak. Her eyes followed the line of his halberd to a lone creature. It sat in a chair with its legs spread, its pointed chin resting on its hand as it watched their movements.
'That should be the boss, right? Let us see.'
| Classification:
| Red Hobgoblin Knight [ D ]
|
| Type:
| Humanoid
|
| Description:
| Hobgoblin knights are the elite warriors of hobgoblin tribes, creatures bred and trained for war. Larger and far more intelligent than ordinary hobgoblins, they stand nearly as tall as an orc and possess the discipline of true soldiers. Their crimson skin and ember-like eyes result from prolonged exposure to corrupted mana, which strengthens their bodies while gradually wearing down their minds. Armed in scavenged plate armor and carrying brutal weapons, a hobgoblin knight serves as both commander and servant for much stronger hobgoblin lords. When no such leader is present, it assumes the role of a temporary ruler until it finds a master worthy to serve.
