DUNGEON CONQUEROR SYSTEM: I transmigrated into a Mosquito

Phantom is here!

“I will take my leave now. However.” Isaac’s eyes turned cold, causing the five mosquitoes to tremble in fear. “You will know what will happen if something happens to the sibling goblin. I’m not kidding. Don’t test me.”

“Y-Yes,” replied the leader while nodding his head. “Rest assured, Phantom. With five of us guarding them, our kin can't harm them.”

The other four mosquitoes immediately supported their leader while trying their best to flap their wings, wanting to resist the pressure Phantom brought to them. Isaac felt assured by their reactions and quickly smiled at them, causing the tense atmosphere alleviated.

Isaac was about to ask where the king was currently because he knew nothing about where the previous Phantom resided when he sensed his kin asking for help. Immediately, he lost connection to a single mosquito up to five mosquitoes each second, signifying their death. Isaac couldn’t help but tense up. What could have caused the sudden death of his kin? Does the goblin village was hiding a monster?

Isaac closed his eyes for a moment and the five mosquitoes didn’t dare to disturb him. They also sensed the strange event happening to their kin, but their blood communication wasn’t as effective compared to Isaac. Therefore, they naturally knew Isaac was trying to find the cause, and they were waiting for him to report the result to them.

‘Two giant goblins? But they could only hold on for some time before they would die from blood loss. However, it’s still an astonishing fact for them to kill my kin every second. My kin? I don’t accept being a mosquito yet!

Arggh! I can’t find the cause of the mosquitos’ death, with five of them each second! Before I could share their vision, all they faced was…

A fireball?’

Isaac was dumbfounded, and the five mosquitoes caught his reaction. They were immediately nervous, thinking Isaac must have discovered a horrifying happening to their kin. However, it was their turn to be dumbfounded when they saw the little limb of Phantom shivering. And when they looked at his face, trying their best not to curve a smile, his sparkling eyes and exciting emotion didn’t escape their senses.

“Phantom,” said the leader. “What happened?”

“Oh?” Isaac was awakened from his daze thoughts. “It’s nothing. However, our kin is in danger!”

‘Then, why are you smiling and excited?’

The five of them complained in their mind before forcing themselves to acknowledge Isaac’s statement. Then, they were discussing, but loud enough for Isaac to hear, because they did not want to be caught in a dreadful fight. Who cares about the life and death of their kin? Their life was more precious and valuable!

Isaac knew what they were acting about but couldn’t care about them anymore. The sudden realization that Magic exists in his current world made him tremble in excitement. Thankfully, he managed to mask his emotion, even though barely.

Seeing the distracted mosquito focused on their denial to save their kin, he took the chance to analyze what he saw and decided to ask the system about it.

“System, do I have the affinity for conjuring magical spells?”

[Currently, the system doesn’t have enough information regarding the concept of magic. The system suggests that the host should discover a book about it.]

Isaac was stunned before having an epiphany. That’s right! How could the goblin wizard learn spells by himself? Surely it must have discovered a book or tome to learn from, right? As he thought about it, Isaac now had another goal in his mind. To search every nook and cranny in the goblin village to find the book before leaving! Who cares about offending a king? It’s not like the king could afford so!

“Do your best to defend this place at all costs! If something happens, I don’t mind shredding blood, even if it was my kin!” Isaac coldly warned them before dashing to the location of the goblin wizard.

The five mosquitoes were at a loss for words and wanted to reject his proposal because they would naturally escape once danger before this place. However, Isaac didn’t give them a chance and disappeared with his silent flap skills. They were stunned, and even though they noticed Isaac wasn’t as fast as the Phantom from before, he flew silently. They immediately thought he must have evolved from being the scout to an assassin!

“Fireball! Fireball! Fireball! Urk!”

The old goblin kept exhausting his mana, but he replenished it with a blue liquid stored in a small potion. The old goblin kept repeating the same process, and his single fireball could incinerate a single goblin up to five of them. He didn’t intend to use the fire shield. He wasn’t dumb to realize the mosquito monster the dead chief worried about wasn’t as weak as the cannon fodder in front of him.

The five meters radius space he kept maintained to avoid losing momentum, which could potentially lead to his death, but not a single mosquito had entered yet. Sometimes, a frequent of them managed to bypass, which threatened him, but he could have retreated and used the corpse of the two village chief guards and the village chief for cover to obliterate them.

It was this tactic that made him still fight even hundreds of mosquito monsters surrounding him.

“How can we kill him?” a mosquito at the back side asked.

“How can we know?” replied the mosquito who heard him. “The reason we still kept fighting despite many of our kin dying, as he was the only goblin left! We immediately concluded that whoever killed him would be rewarded by the king! That’s why we are bravely losing our life here!”

“How many of us are left?” a mosquito at the back side swept its compound eyes to his kin.

“Who knows? A hundred? Or two?”

Then the mosquito, who replied saw the chance the goblin wizard took out a potion mana, which means the chance he could cast a fireball was low, took the chance to attack. The mosquito at the back side wanted to stop him, but it was too late! Even when the goblin wizard was drinking, without hesitation, conjured a fireball and targeted the six mosquitoes who tried to attack him!

Incinerate!

They were immediately reduced to ashes. Although the six of them tried their best to attack in a scattered manner, the fireball was large enough for them to feel the heat despite not having collided with it yet!

In addition, the second batch group coming from the west, which the goblin wizard had just attacked the group of mosquitoes at the east, was immediately incinerated by the second fireball. The old goblin wizard's concentration and presence of mind kept him from dying.

This continued for dozens of seconds before the mosquito monsters were about to retreat when they sensed the presence of Phantom. They immediately rejoiced and exclaimed at the same time.

“Phantom is here!”
