The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

"Whoosh!"

My figure shoots up towards the guy who had been bragging for a while.

The guy became stunned as he saw me coming towards him within seconds. He knew that I was going to hit him and hit him hard I was.

Until…

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a great whirlwind of air came and hit right in front of me. Even with how fast I went up and was close to the guy, the winds strength was better.

It also didn't help when another of the same thing hit me in the chest again.

"Bang!"

This time, not only was I stopped completely but was even propelled backwards and struck the ground hard. The ground underneath me cracked as I laid down and sighed.

'Man, just a bit more.'

"Hey, you okay Morke?" The guy with scarf floating next to him asked.

Morke, who was stunned because of how fast I had reached him, finally came back.

"Ye- Yeah… man, that guy really gave a jump, didn't he? I almost thought I was about to get punched by his massive hands there."

"Gods, he could have pulverized me. Thanks for the assist, Norfolk."

Norfolk didn't welcome him back and only warned, "Do that later when we take care of this guy. My attack didn't do much on him. He's already getting up!"

Just as he said, I was actually getting up. But they didn't wait for that anymore.

The guy with the wind affinity, Norfolk, pulled his hands to the sky and gathered air above him.

"Let's help him." The one on the center spoke as they all prepared their own attacks.

Morke used his fire sigmat to create a large ball of fire that illuminated the place. The center guy spread his palms as lightning circled back and forth, creating a bizarre bridge. The last one took a big breath as his water sigmat circulated water inside his stomach.

Then as if they had already done this before, all of them attacked at the same time. There attacks not colliding on to each other but having enough space to do their own damage while magnifying the pain.

'You've gotta be shitting me. The Vagrant Palace had to send this five out of everyone else.' I think, exasperated.

The reason why I didn't want to know who these five were because I already know who they are. They are one of the most elite hit squads working for the Vagrant Palace in the Leonidas Kingdom.

This five specifically were special.

Because out of all the hit squads, this five were the craziest and also the strongest squad in this kingdom. You could say I was battling against a group of high level bosses right now.

But right now, their introduction didn't matter as much as the damage their attacks would do if those actually hit me.

I don't have any defensive spells or technique that would help me defend against such a strong attack. This wasn't just any attack but the combined attacks of five strong… I mean, four strong killers.

So that's why I get ready to use the black hole ability I had holed up in my sleeve.

But then I don't.

A smile erupts on my face as I see the mysterious red color envelop me again.

BOOOM!

All four strong attacks hit Henry at the same time and an explosion much bigger than before appears as it illuminates the place miles away.

The attack was so strong that more than 200 meters of ground becomes fractured.

The four members who threw the attacks, silently gauzed the place which was now covered by dust.

Norfolk who was the first to attack said, "I think he's dead."

"We need to be sure. We can't get caught up like Gildroy." The one who seems most likely to be leading this squad, said as his eyes looked intensely through the dust.

"He can't be human if he survives that attack." Morke spoke but he himself kept looking, to confirm if Henry was dead or not.

The leader's brow cracked for a second as he felt like he saw some movement inside the dust.

'It can't be…'

"Let's try it again."

"WOOSH!"

The leader's eyes widened similar to the other three when they saw Henry come out of the dust, unscathed. But what surprised them even more was the water wings that flapped on his back.

Morke, seeing him felt his hair stand up in fright.

Just like before, Henry once more went towards Morke, intending to hit him only. Again the scarf guy prepared his air attack to stop him, but this time he's friends were doing the same too and even Morke prepared an attack for Henry.

"Die! You bastard!"

He screamed and got ready to use his attack, alongside the others. But before their attacks came, Henry's waved his hands both left and right, spraying water on others.

The water was sprayed through a wide space, in a way to disrupt the view of the others on him.

It worked, but still the others were experience fighters. They remembered Henry's position and aimed right there.

I saw their attacks coming for me but the smile didn't wipe from my face. My wings already took a sharp dive before going up again in a swift motion, avoiding the other attacks and going for Morke.

Morke felt shocked seeing the impressive dodge but didn't stay silent. He shot his flame globe at Henry, hitting him straight on.

But his smile diminished instantly as Henry burst through the fire and punched him square on the jaw.

As if being hit by a running carriage, Morke shot down to the ground like meteorite falling from the sky.

I didn't remain standing, as Morke hit the ground with great pain, I dodge another barrage of attacks from his squad and swoop down for Morke again.

'Damn! He's going for him again!'

"He's going for Morke, we have to stop him!" The leader said as he and the others kept shooting different attacks on him.

I turn left to dodge a lightning strike, turn right as sharp winds with knifes go past me and then sharply went up as a shark made of water almost bit my wings off.

I smiled seeing the new level my water wings had achieved. After what happened while I desperately tried to dodge the big black ball… I realized some crucial lessons.

One of them was to develop the water wings. Which I had leveled up in this few days. So now the water wings not only had more speed and had great turning ability, but it also took less mana and had much better durability.

The leader gritted his teeth in anger as he saw Henry was now sure to grab hold of Morke. He really wanted to use one of his special attacks on him but seeing that it would also hit Morke, he didn't have any choice but to use smaller attacks.

Doing so, did nothing against Henry as he now saw, Morke being lifted up by Henry's palm and being used as a shield against them.

Morke who had a large black spot on his face and was being held up hostage, felt that he was clearly unlucky today.

"Alright people, why don't we calm down for a second and talk this out, okay?" I say and feel some similarity.

"Before you deny it, do know that the girl also denied it and I… I'm sure you know what happened next, right." I say with a guiltless smile on me.

I was playing a gamble here, one that I didn't know if it'll work.

"Let's threaten him with our combined attacks. He won't have that bravado for long." Norfolk adviced.

Though the leader shook his head. He had been killing people for a long time, he understood the people with mentality same as Henry.

If they threatened or attacked, Henry wouldn't bulge a moment and kill Morke.

"Alright, let's talk."
