Goblin Warrior (1)
It seed like the thunder was jumping in front of my eyes.
“Kuk!”
Scarlet red blood embroidered the air. As soon as I had the thought of fireworks, imnse pain ca over . It felt as if my stomach and chest were suddenly opened. It hurt badly.
It was painful. A pain I could convince myself similar to that of death.
Like a paper doll, I fell easily. Having done , it laughed and left the tunnel looking pleased. Its’ footsteps sounded like soone who had a purpose.
That’s when I realized. There was a reason as to why it was even here, in the middle of the Goblin Fighter’s domain.
It sensed the humans that were outside and ca to predate on them. Then, it happened to run into my unlucky ass. It was just coincidence that it put on the brink of death.
I lied there for a bit longer. I was there thinking whether or not it would co back for or if another high ranking monster would pop out to kill . However, neither of those scenarios happened.
I stoop up. I was in so much pain, but at the least, I could move.
Truthfully, the wound wasn’t that deep.
“Phew, phew…. Still it hurts. Damn.”
I was aware that it was going to attack . As soon as he started attacking, I pulled my body back. I could tell he was planning on ripping out my innards, and his knife easily passed through my stomach.
In all cases, this was a gamble. It could’ve easily slashed more, or even realized his blade only slightly entered my body. However, my acting close to death seed to have been sufficiently convincing.
In addition, the Ebon heart. My blood flowed quickly and in high amounts, despite the fact that I was only slightly wounded. It did take a lot from my health but proved very useful in convincing it that I was dead.
Anyways, I was alive.
‘I really thought I was going to die.’
I was feeling intense emotions of fear and despair when we both laid eyes on each other. To add another emotion, I would say rage.
Despite the amount of ti I’ve been here, just how much more of this fear of death did I have to face! The feeling is practically a part of .
However, this dungeon is not a place where I could escape danger. It is true that there is a certain caliber of monsters here, but a higher rank could be here, as I just now experienced.
‘I have to beco greater. Faster.”
The blood stopped. I had a feeling that the Ebon heart had sothing to do with my recovery rate. I tried my hardest to move while feeling the gross pain that passed through my stomach and chest.
At this mont, there was a light coupled with a dark figure of a Goblin Fighter in the middle of the entrance I had walked in.
This situation was all too familiar. The situation where monsters appear out of thin air. This was nothing to be shocked of, as the dungeons were the Goblin Fighter’s domain. Plain and simple.
To add, monsters that are just born tend to be quite dumb. Even if I were to open my eyes and be in the body of a monster, I would be just as defenseless.
Anyways, because of this fact, they were excellent prey. That being my prey.
“Guuk! Gluuurrk,” the Goblin Fighter wailed. He happened to be close to and my steel sword punctured his chest with no resistance. I wasn’t so sure of the upper-level monsters, but I knew that Goblin Fighters only possessed rusty swords. There was no way it could block a steel sword.
“See you later.”
I forcefully extracted my sword from its chest and kicked this Goblin Fighter down. It had definitely lost its life from the blow.
[You’ve earned 100 EXP.]
[You’ve earned 10 Bronze.]
[Level Up!]
At that mont, the scar once there from my stomach to chest disappeared without a trace.
This was a miracle. With my health fully recharged, I felt like I could face anyone that would co my way. The status window from my peripheral fully supported and exaggerated my elated emotions.
[Kang Si-Ha (Fate)]
[Goblin Fighter Lv 11]
[Stamina – 30 Health – 31 Magic – 5 Fate – ???]
[Skill – Ebon heart, Predation Lv 1, Escape Lv 1, Swordsmanship Lv 4, Knife throw Lv 2]
‘My stamina and health both went up 2 levels!’
I opened my eyes intensely and focused. There was a reason why upper levels beca so powerful. I felt this fact down to my bones. Because our starting points are different, the rate at which they and I grew from the sa level up was drastically different.
If so, who’s higher than the Goblin Fighters? And who’s even stronger than that? It wasn’t even a question that the difference would get drastically higher as the list went on.
I thought of the upper levels that had passed up. It wielded its sword like that of a maniac following a fly. There was a high chance that it abandoned without checking because I posed no actual threat to its life.
It probably was the truth. The truth was I had a hard ti even following his sheer strength and quickness with my re eyes. Even with my all, I could barely pierce through his leather jacket with my sword.
However, that is just now. It might be possible in a bit. I will make this a reality no matter what it takes.
“Goblin Warrior!? This is a Goblin Warrior! What should we do?!”
“Damn, the entry is blocked. This is impressive for a Goblin….!”
“Hup, I will destroy everything for you guys! I’ll protect you Miss Seo-rin!”
“Creeeeeaaaaaaa!”
At that mont, the sound beca amplified. This ant it finally t up with the rcenary group.
It thought that they were clearly going to be an upper-level species, that they were Goblin Warriors.
But wait.
Does that an if the Goblin Warrior were to defeat the rcenaries, he would return back here?
The thought captivated . It usually wanders deeper than here though.
It is known that the format of the dungeon is complicated, that includes the many entrances connecting the Goblin domain, Goblin Fighter domain, and the Goblin Warrior domain. Even so, it probably would enter back through its usual entrance. Right?
I’ll really be dead at if I continue to stay here until he cos back. Without a doubt, I’ll be finished.
My heart was uneasy and I began to panic. Now was the ti to move. I was unsure how long the battle would last. I have to increase my distance from them as quickly as possible.
I had no ti to be eating a Goblin Fighter. There was no reason to either, as my state was perfect from just leveling up. I threw its body into inventory just because. It entered with such ease.
Singing to myself in delight, I quickly entered into the tunnel. Now was not the ti to be secretive. I had to move as quickly as possible.
I grabbed onto the two swords in my hands, positioning myself in a way that could charge straight ahead given the circumstance. You never knew when a Goblin Warrior was going to co at you. Quietly inching about to sneak attack was safe but took a painstakingly long ti. Doing that right now would be fatal.
Ahhh, it’s here. Surely as it was the Goblin Fighter’s domain, there stood a Goblin Fighter in one of the tunnels.
“Creeeeeak!”
As soon as he saw , he wailed loudly and started to charge towards . It was just as I expected.
To fight against the enemy of pain. When there were no humans present, Goblins could care less if you were one of them. It would’ve been nice if they were chill with their own species, but there was not a single exception.
I too faced him and charged forward. Compared to a Goblin Warrior, this one was awfully weak and was no more agile than . Looking at the Goblin Fighter’s rusty knife, the previous feelings of fear and rage were flowing through once more.
Now, I was able to control the Ebon heart a little at my will. There’s no option but to win against a weak opponent. The Ebon heart was helping do just that.
“Hap!”
One blow was enough. Its rusty knife was only 30 cm, but my steel sword was 50 cm. No doubt that without a difference in swordsmanship and stance from one another, the sword with a longer reach was to win.
The rusty knife missed my chest and entered my left arm. It wasn’t too deep. Conversely, the sharp steel sword in my hand had accurately punctured its heart, which exploded.
Though Level 4 Swordsmanship is still Level 4, I had the skill to pierce the opponent’s most vulnerable spots. My abilities had to have grown.
[You’ve earned 100 EXP.]
[You’ve earned 10 Bronze.]
[You’ve earned a flimsy piece of cloth.]
“This is good.”
I quickly threw its rusty knife and lifeless body into inventory. Then I quickly went deeper into the tunnel.
“Creeeeak!”
Now this one had more experience than that of a Goblin Fighter. It prepared its body to receive my attack, moving slight from left to right.
It definitely had so experience. If I ssed up here, it could be a loss for .
After all the things that had happened, I just threw my sharp sword at him out of nowhere.
“Creeeak?!”
It didn’t expect , a savage animal, to let go of the one weapon in my hand. It was dallying when its body received my sharp sword.
My strength was weak wielding the sword, so it didn’t necessarily penetrate through his body. It was, however, sufficient enough to cause him suffering.
I forced myself onto this thing. I had rusty knives in both of my hands.
“Creak! Creeeeaak!”
I was able to snatch its knife easily, as it lost its balance and strength at the sa ti. With my other hand, I began to stab his face.
[You’ve earned 170 EXP.]
Only
[You’ve earned 10 Bronze.]
[You’ve leveled up Knife Throw Skill to 3.]
My breath was out of control. I couldn’t believe that in this short amount of ti I was able to turn my life around. I made the impossible possible. I was completely unaware of these decision-making skills, yet I had used them to kill!
“Whew, Whew…… It seems like there’s always a place for skills.”
Knife throwing skills. For opponents unaware of inventory, this skill was perfect to make them careless. It seed like it had so experience, but was surprised at my knife throwing. Instead of , it ultimately experienced defeat.
Furthermore, this one was of a higher level than most Goblin Fighters. This goblin had a significantly higher experience and its bloody bruise on its left arm from its previous fighting seed to prove my point.
I felt my heart pumping blood throughout my entire body. While my tired body experienced a slight rest, I began to check for any other monsters that would co for .
It was then I realized sothing. The noisy battle sounds I heard coming had stopped.
