Humans (2)
The mass appearance began. A large number of Goblin Fighters rushed at .
I smashed them all at once and cut them down on the spot. It was annoying to find their scattered bodies later, so I made sure they fell in a pile.
More and more Goblin Fighters ca at .
They were good opponents to practice Power Attacks without risk, and I didn’t hesitate to use it as long as I had mana.
“Kyiii!”
“Ha!”
[You gained 50 experience]
[You acquired 10 bronze.]
It’s ti to admit it. I enjoyed swinging the sword. It was fun to break the enemy’s neck and take his life. It was good to wield an ax and smash them or pierce them with a spear.
The mont I overca the enemy was enjoyable. It was a little bit stronger, and it was so much fun to get experience.

“Kiak!”
“Oh, ah!”
[Goblin Fighter Predation After Hunting 724/1,000]
[Beginner Power Attack has beco Lv4.]
The Goblin Fighters are now too weak for , so sadly, they can’t increase my abilities too much. It wasn’t aningless, though, as I still leveled up my Power Attack.
While I was repeating indiscriminate slaughter and predation like that, I could hear the siblings were very slowly advancing through the dungeon.
“Hoo, hoo…”
“I’m glad I’m a combatant. Did you gain experience?”
“Yes, brother.”
“Let’s move slowly after a little rest. If we see a stronger goblin, we must run away.”
“Huh.”
The siblings were more cautious than the three. Of course, my voice was still loud, but it wasn’t enough to call all the Goblin Fighters together.
I am making a big fuss in the cave now.
Maybe, I am helping my brother and sister survive.
Of course, I didn’t know how my presence would affect them. I have no intention of seeking the siblings and killing them. They are far too weak for .
If they had been strong, I would have been hunted and killed as a monster the mont I encountered them, regardless of their cautious character.
So… no.
Still, I think it will be a little bit heartbreaking when they die.
My pretense and hypocrisy are painful. Am I sympathetic to them because they are weak? Do I really feel different about the death of another human being, or is it just because they remind of my little sister?
That’s arrogant. It is a thought to be abandoned.
Any human, if they aim to harm , I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them to survive.

I deliberately dismissed my thoughts, scattered my interest in siblings, and dealt only with my enemies. I killed them and ate them as soon as possible. I didn’t want to think about more useless thoughts.
“Kyii, kyii!”
“Kyii, kyii!”
[Goblin Fighter Predation After Hunting 968/1,000]
However, sothing changed when the number of Goblin Fighters fell below fifty.
“Kyii!”
“Kyii!”
The Goblin Fighters seed to regain a little reason in their tiny brains. Instead of rushing in, they started to turn and run away from .
Why? Is it because the level difference between and them is severe? Or maybe I slaughtered a lot of them too soon?
Anyway, they started running away from and the speed was strangely fast.
The siblings were in the direction of their escape.
“Can I really go in?”
“A little bit. If I catch a little more, I think the level will rise.”
Silly brother and sister.
I went after the Goblin Fighters straight away.
The Goblin Fighters won’t respawn for the next few hours. I have to catch them or be bothered in waiting for hours to complete the target.
Is that really the reason? I asked myself.
“Kyiii!”
“Kyiii!”
The Goblin Fighters may not be faster than , but it was quite cumberso to chase the scattered guys.
Eventually, I missed a few of them, and they ended up crossing the aisle.
It was where the stupid siblings were.
“Chi.”
I clicked my tongue unconsciously.
Of course, if I eat what I’ve cut down so far, it might be enough to reach 1,000.
Now, the situation is different from that of the three humans before. At that ti, they entered the dungeon at will and died at will.
But now, the siblings are different. If I hadn’t made a mass appearance occur, if I hadn’t missed so Goblin Fighters, they wouldn’t have been killed.
So if they die, I’m responsible for it.
There were three reasons why I neglected the three people in the past.
First, because I didn’t have the power to save them at the ti.
Second, because they were very likely to hostile to and may attack .
Third, for , they are the only random strangers who chose to go to the dungeon and I have no reason to help them.
And now the situation is completely different. For , the Goblin Fighter is nothing; the siblings who have no power to deal with the Goblin Fighter can’t attack ; they are now at risk because of .
Is this the mont that I have to choose between ‘human’ and ‘monster’?
‘No. That’s not it.’
The Ebon Heart thumped.
This is simply a problem of my pride. It was a sha for that soone else will die because of my mistake.
The anxiety was short and the action was quick. I jumped over the aisle. There was already quite a distance between the guys and , and the siblings facing the Goblin Fighters were running away.
“Back, don’t look back and run!”
“I told you not to go in!”
Their voices were so young.
The brother seed to be a high school student, and the sister is a middle school student.
“Oh, what are you doing?”
“Run, run! Don’t look back!”
The sister was running from behind his brother, who was covering for his sister.
There was already a rusty sword on his back.
It’s the Goblin Fighter. Their throwing is not the best, but you can get hit by it, especially if you do not have much battle experience.
The brother is hiding his suffering because his sister may stop running if she noticed he’s hurt. It was absurd. Even if he suffered such a fatal injury, he wasn’t even crying.
When I stepped into the aisle and encountered the scene, I threw the sword in my hand and knocked down a Goblin Fighter following them. I can kill these guys with one blow.
If I were closer, I could have wiped them out by a Black Lightning bolt, but its range does not exceed 10 ters even if it’s already at the 7th level.
I hurriedly pulled out more swords from the inventory and threw them in a hurry, but it was hard for to throw them, considering that the siblings were also running in that direction. I have to be careful not to hit them.
Then, a problem occurred.
The brother, who misunderstood that the Goblin Fighter running past him is aiming for his sister, desperately caught the guy. The Goblin Fighter scread and stuck a sword in him.
Soon after, I threw a sword at the Fighter, and the two fell side-by-side.
“Oh, ah ah ah!”
Recognizing that her brother had disappeared from behind her, the younger sister looked back and noticed the bloody scene. A sword was stuck in his brother’s head, another in his back.
The sister then noticed my presence and couldn’t cry properly. She started dragging her feet backward. She looked like she had a very cute face, but it was hard to see because of her fear and her tears.
“Hey, stop.” She told .
The clothes the boy was wearing were the sa school uniform as my brother’s. They were from the sa school.
Since the words of the three people were Korean, I knew that I was in Korea, but it was just now that I realized I was in the region where I lived.
But what shocked more than that is that the world is going crazy enough to push even students in school uniforms into dungeons.
At that mont, the family I had forgotten about ca to mind.
No one in the family has a competent partner. My sister has the best one, the bandit’s daughter.
How is my family living now?
‘Don’t go any closer… Stop, please.’
I imdiately defeated the thoughts that are out of my control.
What am I doing, worrying about my family now? It’s hard for to even survive. I can find my family after securing my safety.
It may be late… … but I cannot help it. My family is precious, but my life is also important. I didn’t want to die. I couldn’t run out like this.
The younger sister couldn’t run away and just stared at with a terrified face. Did she realize it’s useless to run away, or is she frozen in fear?
I walked slowly. I recovered my sword from the Goblin Fighters. As I neared the young girl, she closed her eyes sharply. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.
After I recovered the swords, I turned around and tried to go, but the young boy’s face, dead with a rusty sword sticking out of his forehead, burned into my eyes.
It was a face filled with pain and despair. Is it because of his own death? Or is it because he could not protect his sister anymore?
I carefully pulled the sword out from his forehead. The dead blood flowed out a little, then stopped.
I closed his eyes.
Then I got up and walked again.
“Ah…”
Only
My sister was trying to say sothing, but I didn’t look back.
“Well, why…?”
It would have been better for her if she stayed silent and hoped that I, a monster, did not notice her anymore.
But she was really stupid.
If I open my mount and answer, I would have to kill her, so I walked without stopping.
“Why did you save …?”
Her voice was weak and like a whisper, but I heard her words.
Of course, I ignored it.
