Novel's Extra: I Awakened The Strongest Physique From The Start Chapter 27 CHAPTER 26 – The First Dungeon 2

"Kraaaaa!"

"Kiiiieeekkkk!"

The Goblins kept screeching in agony as the sharp net tore through their skin the more they struggled.

They were dumb monsters, and probably the weakest of what the dream world could offer, but they weren't as weak as they seed to be.

*Crack*

Soon, Alex heard a crisp sound of cracking from the net, making him squint his eyes.

'This is unexpected.'

He frowned as he could feel his weapon cracking already, but he didn't seem very panicked because he knew that even if the net were to break, it could just nd itself.

His weapon had an auto-nding ability. No matter how many pieces it broke into, it could just get attached.

'Alex, be aware that the monsters are supposed to be challenging for you, so even if you are stronger than a normal just-awakened person, the creatures would be the sa.'

It was then that Sophie's words echoed through his head, making him realize why this was happening.

The sword was ranked at start formation level one star, the sa as his power level, as he was a star formation level mage and knight with one star ford. The goblins in front of him were probably the sa, and with all of them attacking his weapon, it's cracking was not uncalled for.

But this was just sothing that ca in unexpectedly for Alex, it didn't make him concerned about his victory. The weapon was never his main weapon in this battle, he was still not used to the mana abilities of his weapon, so he had wanted to play safe.

And just when he needed it the most, he got an ability that let him win a fight even without physically engaging with his enemies.

'Let's see how strong this ability is...'

Alex mused as he raised his palm, as if preparing for sothing, and the goblins for so reason stopped struggling at that exact mont, making Alex frown, but the next second...

*Woosh*

He heard the sound of sothing moving toward him at a very fast pace, making his eyes go wide as he ducked without a second thought, rolling forward as that was the only place he could feel safe.

*Baam*

In the next instant, as Alex's eyes snapped sharply toward the attacker, a loud baam was heard, making so debris fly about as a wooden club hit the floor of the cave.

"GRAAAAAAA!!"

The sunlight that filtered from the crevices in the cave focused on the monstrosity that attacked Alex, and as he saw the creature, Alex couldn't help but tense up.

It was a monster with a height of 1.76 ters, much larger than the goblins that usually range from 1.2 to 1.3 ters in height.

The creature was just a larger version of a goblin with more defined muscles and a tummy that made it seem pregnant for 8 months. That thing looked uglier due to its features being more defined, and the clothes it wore were just enough to cover its nether region, not at all covering its hideous features.

"What is this thing?"

Alex couldn't help but growl under his breath, only to see a new series of text floating above the monster's head.

[Hobgoblin. Star Formation—✴(Peak).]

That was all it said, but just with that, Alex knew that this beast was not sothing he could just test his theories on.

It was a beast with one-star peak power, higher than Alex's, and from the looks of it, the beast looked like the boss monster of this dungeon.

'Thank you, love.'

Alex, on the other hand, thanked Sophie ntally, knowing full well that it was probably her doing that he could see the na of the monster.

Sophie was trying to help him—sothing he didn't want her to do—but he got where she was coming from. He wouldn't even let her fight a battle where she might have a chance of getting injured, much less stay back and watch.

Her love for him was just as much as he loved her, so just the fact that she wasn't making a major move was enough for him.

[Be careful, Alex. That beast can command the other goblins!]

The next mont, however, Alex heard Sophie's voice in his head, and unlike what he had hoped to receive—a love-filled reply—her words were filled with warning and concern, making Alex's instincts kick in right in ti to roll to the side...

*Rustle*

*Clang**Clank**Tink*...

The mont he did that, the sound of tal crashing against the cave's floor was heard, and Alex, with his eyes squinted, saw how the goblins, still trapped within the net had thrown their weapons at him.

He could already see the green gooey stuff on their weapon so he was well aware of how dangerous even a single scratch from those weapons could be, but right now was not the ti to think about it.

This mont was the exact mont where he had the chance to eliminate all of the goblins inside the net as they didn't have their weapons protecting them from being completely sliced.

"GRAAAAAAA!"

He could already see the hobgoblin rushing toward him with its yellow eyes filled with killing intent, wanting to kill him now that he was so distance away from his weapon. The hobgoblin's intentions were probably that, but the creature was underestimating Alex a bit too much.

'Here goes nothing.'

With a deep breath, Alex cleared his mind, closing his eyes, imagining himself in a plain grassy field with no monster rushing at him and no annoying screeches in the background.

All he imagined in that place was him, the air, and a boulder. The next second, he clenched his fist hard, and as soon as he did that...

*Boom*

The boulder shattered, making Alex open his eyes, only to see the goblins sliced into pieces of disgusting green at with puss-like green blood polled around it and the hobgoblin frozen in its spot.

"Grrrr..."

It struggled to break free grunting as it found it hard to take a single step, its eyes, however, remained fixed on Alex, glaring at him as drool dropped from the corner of its lips but Alex, knowing full well that he didn't have much ti rushed toward the net soaked in the disgusting blood of the goblins.

*Tap**Tap*...

His steps echoed through the cave, making veins pop up on the hobgoblin's head as it roared in frenzy.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Its body felt heavy, but it clenched its club harder, almost making it crush before it turned toward Alex, wanting to throw the ter-long club at Alex, but the mont it turned...

*Swish*

The beast's eyes caught sight of a line made of stars, blinking in front of its eyes, as one end of the line was sohow attached to its neck, causing it to frown.

"Grr?"

It tried to touch the star with its hand, but the mont he did, he saw an ink-black blade, cutting right through its hand which was trying to touch the line, and even before it could scream in pain, it found its world turned upside down.

The last thing it saw was Alex, with his sword held in one hand, standing back-to-back with its headless body before its world darkened, coldness embracing its consciousness.
