《The Necromancer Sol (Rewrite in progress)》Chapter Six: What's a good name for a goblin?
Advertisement
6.
I stared down at the two goblin's dead bodies and shook my head that carnage. The one Vanta had killed was basically beheaded, and Skelipede had torn a hole through the other one's chest. The blood hadn't dried yet as I stepped into a small puddle. I cast Create Undead and watched as my magic coated the corpses.
Necronomicon (P) Activated.
Goblin (LVL 6) x2 Detected.
(2) Possible Undead Forms:
Skeleton (LVL 4)
Zombie (LVL 5)
Well, I did skeleton last time, so I should try the other option this time. I selected zombie and watched the silver and gold sparks consume the bodies. They slowly stood up, and the goblin with the neck injury tried to keep its head from falling off.
Create Undead Successful!
Do you wish to name Undead?
I named them Headless and Gobert.
Goblin (LVL 6) -> Headless (LVL 5)
Goblin (LVL 6) -> Gobert (LVL 5)
The two zombies hadn't transformed the way Skelipede had. Gobert still had a hole through him, and Headless was nearly headless. I doubted they would be useful for anything more than meat shields. We were pretty far away from our shed and had drifted from the main path. Thankfully, Vanta remembered the way and led us back. It added an extra hour to our journey, and by the time we got back, I was angry and hungry. I ate a smaller amount of my usual fare and realized I would need to track down a food and water source soon. I didn't want to wait until I had nothing left but hope for a miracle. We were going to have to figure out where those goblins came from tomorrow. Hopefully, they'd drop some loot as well. Gobert and Headless waited outside due to their smell, and Skelipede got into its perch to watch out for Vanta and me while we slept.
Vanta woke me up the following day by licking my face.
*Wake.Sol.Go*
*Hunger.Prey.Food*
I groggily responded to him while blinking away my sleepiness.
"Okay, okay, I'm up. I'm UP."
I got up slowly, stretching out my body. The floor was an awful sleeping spot, and I longed for my bed back at campus. I would give my right arm for a good night's sleep. I walked outside with Vanta at my side and Skelipede following closely behind. I called over the zombies and asked Vanta if he could lead us to where we fought yesterday.

*Track.Lead.Follow*
I could feel Vanta's frustration at our travel speed. I had to promise him not to make any more slow undead. How was I supposed to know they'd be The Walking Dead And not 28 Days Later? Hopefully, they are better in combat. We walked in silence; neither Vanta nor I had much to say. I was relieved when Vanta told me we were close to the ambush spot. I crept low and got ready to cast a spell at any moment.
*Smell.Bad.Enemy*
*Alone.Hunger.Prey*
Deciphering what he means is getting easier.
"Go for it, buddy. We'll back you up if you need it".
I watched him as he stalked through the forest without disturbing a twig or even rustling a bush. Slowly he advanced until I could see the goblin ahead of us. Its back was facing us, and it looked to be investigating the bloodstains; it never had a chance. Vanta barreled into it, knocking it face-first into the ground. He opened his mouth and began biting chunks out of its neck. The dirt muffles the goblin's noises. Vanta keeps ripping and biting until the white of the goblin's neck bone is visible. He buried his face into the wound and bit down, tearing out a couple of vertebrae. The goblin did not get back up.

No level-up notification followed, and I was bummed about that. I’d gotten used to getting a level after most fights. I turned away as Vanta began to devour the goblin. His movements may have been silent, but I could still hear the sound of flesh ripping and the wet noises of him lapping up the blood. I tried to ignore it and block out the sounds, but it was hard when I could feel Vanta’s happiness through our bond. After a minute or two, he stopped, and I turned to look and saw there was nothing left of the goblin. I looked around but couldn’t find the clubs my two undead had used yesterday.
“Ughh. Let’s get moving. I want to figure out a food solution today.”
*Food.Find.Go*
“Put that nose of yours to work. Try and find where the goblins came from. Maybe they have a base nearby.”
Vanta nodded at me and began sniffing around before heading deeper into the forest. We walked with Vanta leading the way, me in the middle, the zombies on either side of me, and Skelipede bringing up the rear. We walked for what I guessed was about 30 minutes until Vanta let me know that we were close. I instructed my undead to slow down, and I crouched low. This part of the forest still had the weird warm blue trees, but thick bushes were also scattered about. The bushes were a light green and had small red berries on them. I was tempted to try one, but I kept focused.

Finally, I began hearing the goblin language up ahead. I couldn’t see any, but there were definitely a lot of them ahead. The treeline abruptly stopped, so I commanded the undead to wait behind. Sneaking up towards the treeline, I had to stifle a gasp. A flat muddy plain stretched out in front of me for about 300 feet before the trees started again. Spotted about the area was a little shantytown. Simple tents were set up everywhere, and there was a larger structure at the opposite end of the camp that looked like a shitty log cabin. All around were goblins. The stench was unbearable, and I had been surrounded by undead for days now. Some of them lazed around, others fought, and some were just defecating on the ground. These creatures were disgusting, and I wanted to hurl.
I smiled at Vanta and tried to send him feelings about doing a good job and being a good boy. His tail wagged a bit, letting me know that my attempt was successful. There are too many goblins in the camp for us to attack them. I decided we would retreat for now; I’m going to need to think of a plan.
The next day I was up as soon as the sky-light was above. My plan boiled down to trying to lure one or two away at a time to whittle down their numbers. I had hoped I might get a flash of inspiration before we got there, but I didn't. I decided we’d use Gobert as bait because Headless had his hands full. We arrived, and I saw that there were still as many goblins as yesterday, if not more. Some carried spears and clubs, but some had rusted swords. At that moment, one thought entered my head; I wanted one of them. We were hiding while I had Gobert try to attract a sword wielder. I had him wave his arms from behind the treeline, hoping he’d be seen. I started getting frustrated at the lack of progress when none of the goblins noticed us.
I searched around my feet for a rock. I found one about half the size of my hand and got ready to throw it. I threw the stone when one of the sword users came close enough to us that I knew I wouldn’t miss. It missed the target but hit right in front of it. The goblin stared at the stone, confused, before turning to where we were waiting. Its eyes focused on Gobert, and it squawked. He obviously couldn’t respond, so I had Gobert retreat deeper, hoping it would bait the other goblin. I held my breath and prayed to The Void Empress. I don’t know whether she heard me or not, but the goblin gave chase. As soon as it was deep enough that nobody could see him, we unleashed our ambush.
Skelipede shot across the ground and chomped at its right ankle, causing the goblin to stumble. Headless slowly approached the fallen goblin, still using one hand to prop up his head. The goblin lashed out with its sword, and it went right through Headless’ side before getting stuck. The enemy goblin tried to rip its blade out but failed as Vanta and Skelipede descended upon it. Skelipede wrapped his body around the goblin’s neck to stop it from calling for help, and Vanta bit into the arm holding the sword. The goblin rolled around, clawing at Skelipede to no avail. Skelipede had no stamina and could do this forever.
A couple of minutes later, the goblin stopped struggling, and a blue box appeared.
Your Summon has defeated an enemy: Level 8 Goblin.

I closed my notifications and looked down at the dead goblin. It was a pristine corpse if you ignored the lacerations around its throat. I had high hopes for my newest undead. I didn’t know whether the quality of the corpse had anything to do with the undead created, but I had a feeling it did. I had Gobert, and Headless drag the body deeper into the forest to ensure we weren't seen; I didn’t want any interruptions.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.
