Chapter 14: Hobgoblins
With the extra confidence that the Hobgoblin had given him, picking targets became much more important to Dominic.
While it was considered rude in most situations to steal kills, that rule was more for warriors fighting together. Plus, they were in a rather desperate situation right now, and the more of the large beasts that died before they reached the front lines, the better off everyone would be.
There was another wounded one with an arrow sticking out of its eye, and Dominic aimed for its exposed chest, hoping to finish the beast off.
The Arcane Blast fired off on a perfect trajectory, only to have one of the larger monsters throw a pathetically gaunt and wounded Goblin in the path of the spell, killing the tiny creature but saving the Hobgoblin for a few more seconds before another arrow took it through the heart.
Dominic aimed his next spell for a wounded goblin warrior with a large copper blade, taking its life and eliminating the last of the visible Goblin leadership.
The Captain of the Guard team pushed forward with a few of his men to kick the bodies, collecting the Mana Cores and items that might have been dropped by the Hobgoblins, then tossed a handful of gems to Dominic.
"Here, sort through these and take what you need. It's nothing that we can use." He instructed.
That was incredibly generous, as those resources could be sold or turned in for rewards from their order, but Dominic couldn't deny that he could and would use anything that he could get his hands on right now.
