The Rise Of The Blood Emperor - Chapter 3 The Dragon Wakes From Slumber And Thirsts For Blood

Goblins. Approximately 100 of them.

However, I was prepared.

There were exactly 248 students and considering the combat ability of a goblin it would be easy if the human group worked together and fought rationally but

Inexperienced civilians with no combat experience or weapons.

With my current physique, I would only be able to challenge 5 of them at a time, that was of course if I didn’t have her.

Sliding the case of the blade the small amount of moonlight shined on its edge as it appeared deadlier than normal.

One of the 10 legendary swords of mystery Muramasa.

The cursed sword of legends passed down through my family for ages.

Forged during the Edo period it has existed for hundreds of years without rusting.

I could feel the enormous amount of bloodlust seeping from the sword.

Laying dormant without slaughter or war for hundreds of year but it was awoken by the Calamity Phenomenon and it desired blood.

“Anyone know who our creepy guests are?”(Uesato Dai)

Pushing up his glasses Shozo concentrated his eyes to examine the figures within the darkness as he barely held back a scream.

“Did you see what they looked like? Who are they?”(Sawashiro Miyuki)

Hesitant on what to say Shozo stayed silent for a few seconds before talking.

“GoblinsI’m sure of it they’re goblins.”(Gima Shozo)

“Huh? What are goblins?”(Uesato Dai)

Miyuki also looked baffled unsure about what Shozo was talking about.

Shozo looked at the two of them with eyes even more shocked than when he witnessed the goblins.

“Normies”(Gima Shozo)

Scrunting her eyes Miyuki looked angrily at Shozo.

“Stop mumbling and explain to us what you mean.”

Another scream could be heard through the deep darkness as the goblins split up and sought out their targets.

“We don’t have a lot of time listen up normies, goblins are fantasy creatures that aren’t supposed to exist but I can one-hundred percent guarantee that those creatures coming through the door are goblins or something similar. Also before you doubt me I would like to inform you all that I was born with perfect 20-20 vision and was always able to see well in the darkness.”(Gima Shozo)

Hearing his explanation they both went silent for a few seconds.

“So you’re telling me that we’re currently trapped in here with monsters.”(Uesato Dai)

Pushing up his glasses with his hands trembling he responded shakily.

“Yes, that’s about it.”(Gima Shozo)

Miyuki seemed to be pondering something but I had no time left as I could clearly see 6 goblins heading towards us.

A great majority of the students fled to the podium where the principal and Akane were so more than half of the goblins also headed there while the remaining surrounded us and pursued those scattered around.

Our auditorium was quite large as the school was a prestigious private academy that received large funds from alumni.

Shozo also seemed to notice the approaching threat as he muffled a scream pointing at them.

“What’s wrong?”(Uesato Dai)

Before Shozo even had a chance to reply I rushed towards the group of goblins beheading them in 6 swift motions.

Just as they were about to speak out I rapidly left pursuing the other smaller groups of goblins.

Many of the students could only see a blur of a shadow through the darkness as after they blinked the pursuing goblins all laid headless on the ground.

Feeling the strain on my body I groaned.

The cost of using only Murasame agility Beserk felt agonizing but I endured it.

In merely 10 minutes I had eliminated more than half of the goblin group.

Bluntly speaking goblins were weak creatures, born with physiques even weaker than humans, they existed on the bottom of the food chain.

Their strength lay in numbers but even such an advantage was useless in front of an overwhelmingly strong enemy.

Despite moving as fast as possible I had already witnessed a few casualties and victims.

Casualties referred obviously to those that died but victims were those that experienced a fate potentially worse than death.

Left without even time to comfort the victims I urged my body to move as fast as possible.

The goblins were hardly intelligent creatures, only being slightly smarter than creatures such as horses they moved according to instinct.

Despite more than half of their group being decimated they felt no sense of danger and continued to split up in smaller groups to pursue humans.

If the goblins had grouped up even I would have no options left but as the System Administrator had said this was meant to be a tutorial.

When the goblins had been narrowed to 20 a notification came.
