Randin and Grey had been in a tough fight against the goblins. While Grey had been doing quite well until he suddenly went unconscious, Randin was struggling against the goblins. And he was about to be dealt a deadly blow to his head. But as the lightning bolts approached, the were about to hit him when an Earth wall suddenly appeared in front of Randin blocking his view and not letting the bolts to hit him.

The whole goblins turned around and they could see a young man who had his clothes stained with black liquid while his mouth was also stained with the same liquid. He even had his hands held out while glaring at the goblins. "Young human?! Weren't you unconscious just now?" Randin asked as he opened his eyes to see Grey with his hands held out. "Stop addressing me as a human! My name is Grey, call me that you silly dwarf!" Grey shouted. "And you should be thanking me for saving your life right now." "Ha! I will thank you when you are able to win this fight against them." Randin laughed. Before Grey could reply, a lightning bolt was shot his way and in response, he quickly raised his hands up causing an Earth wall to rise up in front of him blocking the lightning bolt from hitting him. But then, a continuous stream of lightning bolt was shot at him and in anger, Grey touched the wall in front of him and dozens of shards that were covered in fire were shot out towards the goblins. Seeing the shards, they tried to block it using the spear but before it hit their spears, the shards suddenly stopped and then changed trajectory hitting them in their heads or going through their chest killing them on the spot. "You fools, of course I can still control it!" Grey said as he slowly walked forward towards a stunned Randin. "Why do I feel like something is different about you and you have just gotten stronger than before." Randin said. "Well, I don't know what happened myself." Grey said shrugging. When Grey had fallen unconscious, he wasn't aware that he was advancing to the next level of a mage, he was becoming a 2 star mage. In the world of mages, although they had colours to grade their different affinities, there still need to be something to grade a mage to know how powerful they were or how strong they were. And something really popped up, as mages experienced something called the advancement of mana core advancing them into the next level. So they called this star, Grey was a 1 star mage earlier and so was Clark. Because that was the lowest a mage could be. The number of star you are, the more you could use advanced spells and also perform complicated spells. Using his magic repeatedly and absorbing cores after cores, put a strain on his small mana core making him go through pains needed to advance to the next level. Since absorbing beast core was unique to only Grey, he was able to advance faster than others. But it will get harder as he is a 2 star mage right now. "So what do we do now?" Grey asked. "We clear off the bodies so that more goblins do not appear again." Randin said. "Well, I got that covered already." Grey said as he raised his hands up above his head and it erupted in flames. "Gather the bodies together." He said. And immediately, Randin got to work bringing the dozen goblins together in front of Grey and when he was done, he quickly moved back. While Randin had been gathering the bodies, Grey hadn't just been standing around as he was waving his hands in the air performing hand signs and slowly, a huge fireball was forming in the air. Bigger than the fireballs Grey had ever created. If his earlier fireballs looked like a small ball, this current fireball looked like a soccer ball. Throwing his hands down, the fireball crashed into the bodies and began burning them quickly. Moving back, Grey stood side by side with Randin while he looked at his hands. 'Is it true? Have I really gotten stronger than before? But how?' Grey thought as he clenched his fists in and out. In a minute, the bodies got burnt totally and both Randin and Grey went into one of the small caves to rest. "I want to thank you for saving my life earlier, I really am grateful." Randin said. "Nah, it's nothing." Grey replied. "So are you ready to tell me how the hell those goblins appeared all of a sudden?" Randin just sighed. "They have something similar to your magic, something called a magic circle or something. It is able to detect where a dwarf is and also teleport a small army there to get rid of them. I have been smart enough to avoid this but when you shouted my name and I responded, it must have pinged my location to them hence they appeared." "So my guess is they came with those otherworlders. And now, they are hunting any dwarf left. Is there any way to end this?" Grey asked. "There is actually, but it is hopeless." Randin replied. "What is the way?" Grey asked. "We have to get rid of the goblin lord. When we get rid of him, the army would be in disarray and we can totally annihilate them. But the reason I said it was impossible was that the goblin lord has an elite army that are much stronger that what we faced today. Also to even get there, we have to cross the forest that is filled with deadly beasts. So that is why I said it is impossible." Randin said. Hearing everything Randin said, Grey just stroked his chin in thought while trying to come up with what to do. 'If we want to take out the goblin lord, we have to cross the forest. Things could actually go two ways if we do that. Either we kill the beasts and I gain more power, or we get killed by much more stronger beasts. And let's not forget the elite army Randin talked about. For that, we would need our own army.' Grey thought. "Randin, how many men are in the elite squad?" "I'm not sure, maybe around 12." Randin replied. "Good, I have made my decision then, in the coming week, we will annihilate the goblin lord." Grey said. "What!!???!" Randin said.
