Alex carefully looks up at the three figures in the sky, their forms slowly becoming clearer.
He spots a young goblin who’s clearly crying—he’s very fat, has no hair on his head, and looks outright vile. Next to him is an older goblin with a beard, much more composed. He gives off the aura of a high-class businessman. Finally, on the other side of the older goblin is a beautiful, young, charming female goblin.
“Glimrwhisk!” Alex says, finally realizing what’s happening.
“Alex!!! Hello, my cute little human servant! My, my, Alex! I have to say you surprised . Your way of winning this battle was probably the cheapest and quickest thod I’ve ever seen—but I can’t deny the results. Your pet is a smart one, isn’t she? I’ll give you a little treat later, my cute Jewel.”
“Hello…” Alex mutters, feeling slightly embarrassed as the small goblin—now massive compared to him—looks down at him.
He quickly shakes his head, turning around.
I’ve got no ti to waste, the battle is still ongoing!
“I’d like you to stay for a minute, human,” says the head of the goblin union—Glimrwhisk’s father.
He snaps his fingers, and the world around Alex, including nchi and Jewel, suddenly loses all color.
“I’ve stopped ti, so don’t worry about the NPCs,” he adds with a knowing smile.
“Yes, sir!” Alex responds politely, recognizing the authority of the goblin union’s head.
“Oh? So you’re smart. At least you understand who I am and what my position entails. Very promising. Your actions during this mission were also quite impressive. My daughter told she found soone with at least a tiny chance of reaching the end… you do seem to fit the bill.”
“Thank you, sir,” Alex replies.
“Hehehehe, how sweet. You’re all polite to my father! Yet when you speak to , you act like a scared feral kitten,” Glimrwhisk says playfully. anwhile, Alex can’t help but notice her brother still sobbing in the background.
“SHUT UP ALREADY!” Glimrwhisk’s father bellows. “Gojak... you are my son. I gave you so many opportunities. Eventually, I decided Glimrwhisk would be my heir. Even then, I still got soft and gave you more chances to win back that position. However, I now realize my errors—you are hopeless—beyond redemption! You lack the most basic requirent to lead the union: judgnt. You can’t judge others—much less yourself. Disappear! GUARDS. Drag him away! He is not allowed to leave his room!”
“Father, please… NO! Don’t touch !! NO PLEASE… JUST ONE MORE CHANCE!! SHE CHEATED… IT WAS UNFAIR… NO!!” Gojak wails as several guards drag him away, until he vanishes from view.
“Now... human. As head of the goblin union, I cannot intervene directly in Realm business. That limits what I’m allowed to share with you. My position is delicate, you understand. My daughter, however, has far more freedom. For now, you’ve earned my respect. I hope we’ll work together again. Also—Glimrwhisk. That was the last ti. No more tests. No more chances for your useless brother. Consider the matter settled. Don’t disappoint .”
“Yes, Daddy,” she says with a smirk.
“Now, Alex… I wish I could stay and chat longer, but I’ll save that for your next visit. We’ll talk for a looong while. How about a little slumber party? I’ll take good care of you.”
“No…” Alex says, shaking his head.
“Of course you’ll accept! Great, smart decision. It’s decided then! We’ll have lots of fun—trust , hehe. I’ll see you very soon, my pet,” she says, licking her lips. “Now, enjoy your little ga for a bit longer. Don’t make wait too long, however!”
...Thankfully, nobody else heard that.
Finally, she snaps her fingers—and the world regains its color. Jewel and nchi move again, suddenly surprised to see that the massive images in the sky are gone.
“What happened?!” nchi asks.
Jewel is confused!
“They stopped ti for a few minutes… nothing happened. Glimrwhisk won the ga. She’s now the official heir of the goblin union—for good this ti. Let’s hurry back! We need to help them. I’m a bit worried about what that idiot said… he gave Zabuza strategic advice. We may need to interfere! Also, I don’t want that bastard to escape. We need to finish this now,” Alex says, his voice tense as he rushes toward the location of the dead player’s corpse, now torn apart.

“Nice, let’s move!”
They all nod, activate Zetsu, and quickly walk back toward the others.
Queen Jewel has used up all the grenades. She would love to do the ultimate strategy again!
“It’s fine… I still have a few left. Take 2! But really—it’s fine! Let’s get back quickly. We just need to rescue Kakashi!” Alex commands. “nchi, you go protect the kids. Jewel, stay hidden. Wait for a good chance to support or ambush Zabuza. You can also try to steal his sword. If you manage that—I’ll do anything you ask. I want that damn thing! Anyway, I’ll try to free Kakashi. My Thunder and Thundara magic should be highly effective!”
“Got it,” nchi says.
Understood, Soulmate!
They quickly advance, and Alex soon spots Kakashi—trapped inside Zabuza’s Water Prison Technique. At the sa ti, he sees Sasuke getting ready to throw a giant shuriken at Zabuza.
“Naruto and Sasuke are using their trick to free him! It works in the original, but expect it to fail this ti! We strike when it fails!” Alex whispers, taking out his [Magoroth’s Legacy R2] and moving as close as possible to Zabuza.
Alex barely catches the end of their assault—Sasuke’s massive shuriken is revealed to be a disguised Naruto, who hurls a kunai at Zabuza.
To Alex’s shock, Zabuza smiles—and another Water Clone forms behind him, rising from the water and intercepting the kunai.
“Nice try… it was not enough, however! Now you’ll die!” Zabuza says with a cruel grin, his clone walking across the water toward Naruto, who looks pale, barely able to swim.
At that mont, Alex conjures a Magorian’s Rage Arrow lvl 5, envelops it in Aura using Shu, and fires off a Thundara Arrow lvl 5 with full force.
Nimbus Cloak effect activates—Increasing Evasion by 5% and Movent Speed by 40%.
The arrow flies with extre speed towards Zabuza, who is still unaware of the attack. At the very last minute, however, he realizes that sothing is wrong and turns around, the arrow pierces through his shoulder, the lightning creating a large field of sparks causing havoc in a large area around them.
You have dealt 116 damage to Zabuza.
You have paralyzed Zabuza.
You have caused bleeding to Zabuza.
You have dealt 21 damage to Kakashi.
“YOU!!! HOW DARE YOU?!” Zabuza roars, unable to stay upright—his paralyzed body beginning to sink into the water.
Now free, Kakashi lunges forward and stabs at Zabuza with his kunai, hitting him in his stomach. Zabuza begins to bleed even more and dives deep into the water.
Furious, Zabuza reerges and swings his mighty sword at Kakashi, who blocks the powerful blade strike with his protective gloves.
The two break apart and simultaneously prepare Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
Two massive water dragons rise and crash into each other, releasing torrents of water that flood the area before the two ninjas clash again in close combat.
Alex fires another fully-charged Thundara Arrow lvl 5, at Zabuza—who narrowly dodges it, allowing Kakashi to land a clean kick to Zabuza’s side.
“DAMN YOU!” Zabuza growls, staggering back as he prepares another jutsu.
Alex can’t hear the exchange, but he sees both ninjas performing hand signs, and trading words. Monts later, after a flicker of visible shock on Zabuza’s face, Kakashi finishes and releases Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, surprising Zabuza, who looks utterly bamboozled.
A massive torrent of water erupts from the surrounding terrain, launching Zabuza backward with crushing force. He finally crashes into a tree, badly wounded, and is imdiately peppered with kunai thrown by Kakashi.
“It’s over,” Kakashi says as he stands on a tree branch above him.
“KILL HIM NOW!” Alex shouts, rushing toward Zabuza, trying to avoid the residual water.
From the mist, a petite looking ninja appears—Haku—his iconic mask marking his presence.
He throws several needles at Zabuza while eyeing nchi, who has already crept up behind him.
“Stop. I am not here to fight you. It is my job to retrieve the corpse of Zabuza. One more step and I am forced to attack you,” Haku says softly, needles aid at nchi.
nchi raises her knives and charges at Zabuza without hesitation, aiming to kill him in a single strike.
“What are you doing? This is not an enemy!” Kakashi shouts—then pauses, watching both nchi and Alex continue to advance.
Suddenly, Haku casts Ice Release: Crystal Wall, blocking off Zabuza’s body with a thick wall of ice. nchi’s knives stop just ters from Zabuza’s head.
“SHIT!” nchi curses, slashing at the wall—only to realize she can’t break it. She circles around—just in ti to see Haku grab Zabuza’s body and begin forming hand signs. He casts the Hiding in Mist Technique, filling the area with thick fog.
Suddenly, two loud explosions occur slowly down Haku, who is visibly confused and hit by a few shrapnel, his mask partly destroyed, his body bleeding all over.
Just as Haku is about to vanish, nchi throws one of her knives, hitting Haku in the arm.
“AAAH!” he yells, caught off guard, obviously surprised.
At the sa ti, Jewel reveals herself, appears behind him, firing Thornback Poison Spit lvl 5, followed by Thornback Web Shoot lvl 5. Haku dodges both—barely—but a small amount of web still clings to him. Jewel charges Thornback Bite lvl 5 as Haku stares in disbelief.
nchi throws her second knife, and Haku blocks it using the massive sword tied to Zabuza’s back by pulling his body close to himself. At the sa ti, he barely manages to sidestep Jewel’s bite.
However, Jewel shifts her aim and decides to bite into the handle of Zabuza’s sword, and violently tears it off his back, disappearing into the mist using Zetsu.
“NO!” Haku screams, just as a storm of lightning-infused arrows rains down. Alex unleashes the illusions from Magorian’s Rage Arrow lvl 5, generating as many phantom arrows as possible, three of them hitting Haku.
You have dealt 35 damage to Haku.
You have dealt 21 damage to Haku.
You have dealt 31 damage to Haku.
Heavily wounded, Haku vanishes into the mist, leaving behind a trail of blood.
Alex sighs in disappointnt, but then suddenly realizes that Haku may be gone—yet not only did they severely wound him, but Jewel also fled with Zabuza's sword.
Good enough, I guess!
