Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"Who is your hostage!"

Taking advantage of this brief gap, a tower shield that occupied most of Patrick's vision rushed towards the bishop, and behind the shield was the murderous Ivy.

The flame-wrapped gauntlet materialized a long sword burning with blazing flames, and mercilessly slashed at the bishop. The wine that had not yet landed on the ground burned with the wind and burned Patrick's face, burning his skin and flesh.

"Damn it, stay away from me!" Protective energy condensed around Patrick, covering his body and equipment with a layer of phantom frost, "Malak! What are you still standing there for!"

The monk, who had just woken up from a dream, drew out his alien sword and held it between Ivy and Patrick: "Miss Ivy, I'm sorry, I also have my job-"

"Get lost!"

The golden mess of hair flew up with Ivy's attack, and the half-elf rushed towards the monk head-on. Malak tried to dodge, but the heavy tower shield pressed down like a landslide, compressing the space for him to display his martial arts to the extreme.

Although long weapons usually have greater advantages than short weapons, if there is no space to display them, what is the use of long weapons?

"Boom!" In just over ten seconds, Malak had only spotted a flaw on Ivy's side and was about to strike back with his sword, but the tower shield suddenly turned at an incredible angle and accelerated, smashing into his face with a rumbling sonic boom. The monk who was caught off guard only had time to raise his arm to block it, and the whole person flew backwards as if hit by a carriage in the next second.

The sound of metal and bone breaking was intertwined, and no one knew how much damage Ivy's shield attack had caused to the monk who was also a half-elf. The latter didn't even have time to make a muffled groan before he fainted.

"——" Sylvia, who was holding the ropes that bound Daniel and Leah, stood there in a daze, staring straight at her half-elf companion-when did she become so strong.

Although it may be due to her release of the acceleration spell, even without her help, Malak would not be Ivy's opponent!

"Good job! You are worthy of being my daughter!" Leah, who had just broken free from her restraints, jumped up excitedly and waved her fist vigorously, "That's it! Show these bugs a little color!"

"Tsk!" Patrick's expression darkened, and then he became fierce. His well-educated demeanor just now disappeared in an instant, "You are a hopeless thing!"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you, this is my home ground! In the name of my Lord - die!"

"Ivy, get out of the way!" When the bishop of the Molten Iron Barrier burst into the light of negative energy at his fingertips, Ron almost immediately noticed something was wrong. With his movement, an ice wall immediately rose under Patrick's feet. The terrain shaping caused by the arcane pushed Patrick far away. The magic armor on his body was blown to pieces, and a thick layer of frost covered his whole body.

"Too late!" Patrick laughed. Although he was almost frozen, his magic was out of control and turned into a stream of light that penetrated the ice wall and the people behind the wall.

"No one can escape my death finger!" The embarrassed bishop shouted hysterically. His body quickly became unstable. The ice blocks on his body that lost their support fell down and could no longer block his actions. "Wait, none of you can escape! No one can!"

Etherization, when he completely merges into the overlapping space at the edge of the plane and the etheric plane, no one here will be able to catch or track him, but now no one cares about the life or death of this bishop.

"Ivy!" After Daniel rushed to the ice wall in panic, Ron lifted the spell and did not stop the father who was eager to protect his daughter. Since the two sides of the ice wall could not observe each other, he understood Daniel's feelings very well.

It's just that the situation may be slightly different from what he imagined.

Ivy put down the sword and shield in her hand and looked forward in a daze. There, another figure took advantage of the moment when the ice wall rose to block her in front of her, interfering with Patrick's goal of casting the spell.

"Baka?!" Daniel was also stunned. He looked up and down at this ordinary man who was just a little strong, "You, why are you..."

When did he appear? When did he rush here? Why did he stand in front of Ivy?

No one knew, he was just an ordinary person. In the chaos just now, no one would pay attention to this guy who was almost not threatening.

Baka was still standing, but his body began to shake constantly, blood vessels bulged, and purple lines gradually appeared on his hairy limbs, and quickly spread to his neck and face.

"Boss," the ogre grinned, "My neck won't listen to me anymore, can you help me check it? The lady..."

"I, I'm fine," Ivy turned to Baka, and she saw that the man's expression gradually relaxed, "Why are you doing this?"

As a senior warrior and a half-elf, her physique is far from that of an ordinary person like Baka. As long as her luck is not too bad, it is almost impossible to kill her with a spell.

Although the chef's dedication is admirable, is it really worth it?

"No, it's worth it, Miss Ivy," Baka's speech was gradually becoming a little difficult at this moment, and from time to time there was a low growl of unknown meaning in his throat, "I am a heinous villain, and the people I killed were even myself. Can’t remember clearly.”

"I originally thought that I would die in your hands like my mage friend Henry, but your parents and the lord gave me another chance, a chance to start a new life."

"But, but... ahem," large areas of skin and muscle on his face and body quickly rotted and began to fall off. As one of the most powerful spells, the Finger of Death not only makes the target die in pain, but also The person who was killed can be resurrected as a zombie and obey the orders of the caster from then on. Baka is obviously changing in this direction. "I am helping the cook in your tavern. Although I still cook, I always feel that My hands are covered in blood, even though I only have potatoes and carrots on my hands."

"In Rose City, no one will know your past." Liya walked up and looked at the chef who she hugged down, but there was no emotion in her eyes. "You could have lived forever, until you died." , there will be no trace of you left in this world.”

In the long life of an elf, life and death are just a common occurrence. As he grows older, even his own experience will become like someone else's story, not to mention it is someone else's life.

"Madam, you..." Baka seemed to want to smile, but now when he twitched his face, he would only reveal two rows of teeth without cheek coverings. "I am just a human being. I wash my hands thirty or forty times every day. But it only made me feel dirtier and dirtier, and I finally understood that you can’t get rid of the past, it will follow you forever.”

"If you want to pay for your sins, even just a little bit, there is only one way. I'm glad I didn't wait too long."

Baka called out Ron's name hoarsely: "Sir, can you help me? I don't want to cause you any more trouble. I feel like I'm going to become something else -"
