My eyes bulged as I saw the large Demon’s Stats. Not only was its level twice as high as the average Hobgoblin, but its stats were also sothing else entirely.
“It looks like its size isn’t just for show!” I mumbled, summoning my weapons to fight.
For one of its kind to be here, it only ant more were stationed inside. Even for , taking on many Demons like him could prove to be a challenge, especially with Archer Hobgoblins aiming at .
“How exciting! I don’t believe I’ve had an extrely close fight in a while!”
The Hobgoblins who aid their arrows at launched them without warning, sending the sharpened wooden projectiles my way.
Tracing their trajectory, I figured out they were all aid at and my surroundings, none were going to miss!
Swinging both my arms fluidly, I leaped into the air and t the multitude of arrows.
>SWISH<
My sharp edge was able to instantly slice through the wood. Swinging more rapidly, I cut through everything that attempted to touch my body.
However, the mont I was done dealing with the first batch of arrows, the second was already launched.
My eyes darted at the culprits, who were already loading their bows for the third batch. I could easily kill them off with my Weapons but chose not to. This was going to be a practice match for since I would be venturing into the compound soon.
‘If I don’t learn how to deal with their arrows now, it’ll beco a bother!’ I reasoned.
After all, compared to the possible thousands that waited for beyond the gate, my weapons were limited. I couldn’t rely on them to stop thousands of arrows launched at .
In that case, I needed to familiarize myself with the feeling of being chased by their projectiles.
Their Strength. Speed. Sharpness. Trajectory. Reload Rate.
I burned everything I could learn into my head while dealing with the projectiles as they were launched one after the other.

My blade relentlessly cut through the arrows and I managed to evade most, though receiving a few scrapes here and there. Using my minor injuries as a basis of judgnt, I knew I was sure to receive even more damage in the fight to co.
‘Welp, I’ve co this far. Might as well see this through to the end…’
The Hobgoblin Archers finally stopped firing. At first, I thought they had probably grown tired, however, upon closer inspection, I realized they had run out of arrows.
“GARUIIIIIKKKKKK!!!” They growled angrily, all glaring at .
It was likely that no one had survived their attacks for this long, so they must have been surprised that their arrows had been expended. With nothing else to do than resort to a direct approach, they lunged at with full force, hoping to subdue with numbers.
That was a fatal mistake for them!
I rely watched as they drew closer, not making even the slightest attempt to struggle. The Hobgoblin (Tanker) stood still, not neglecting his position which was directly in front of the gate.
The mont the hundred-plus guards reached a certain range from my location, approximately five ters, whooshing sounds filled the air, and flashes of red light danced.
In an instant, my several weapons pierced the Hobgoblins in their numbers, killing them instantly.
“Haa… to think it actually works so efficiently! Excellent!” I grinned.
The Demon corpses turned into dust ad their Cores instantly disappeared, going to my [Subspace] as a result of my new Job-Related Skill .
The reason they all died without even lifting a finger or having to activate any Skill was as a result of a SubSkill I unlocked from an existing Skill after my Job Ranked-Up.
That’s right! was currently active. As long as the need for protection was present, if an enemy entered a certain range with hostile intents, an appropriate item from [Subspace] would be summoned to instantly neutralize it.
Of course, it wasn’t all-powerful, and I couldn’t maintain it forever. Not only did it consu a lot of MP, but it also had made a lot of unnecessary moves, which included summoning food and water anyti I was hungry or thirsty.
I also couldn’t have it active around Gifteds, since I could unintentionally kill soone like lissa If she decided to approach carelessly.
I had only activated it in this battle because I didn’t have ti to worry about summoning weapons while fighting and evading arrows. With so many things to do at the sa ti, I needed to evenly split my attention.
So, while I fought and evaded, would handle the enemies I neglected around .
‘Absolutely efficient!’
Without the need for directly using , the weapons returned to [Subspace] since I had set the ‘Automatic Ti-Lapse Allocated’ to ten seconds.
One of ’s effects is to return my property after an approximate amount of ti which I could set manually after the new patch. Since I edited it, this ant that after a few seconds, [Subspace] would be restocked and could be used in succession.
It was a good thing I had taken my ti to think of the most efficient ways to utilize my new abilities!
“Ahh… all that’s left is you.” I smiled, looking at the Hobgoblin (Tanker) who gave a deathly glare.
Stepping in the puddle of Demon blood that had nearly evaporated, I advanced to the last monster guarding the gate.
Deactivating and all other Skills, I had only my dual daggers on hand. To fully judge the strength of the Hobgoblin (Tanker), this much was necessary.
‘My Skills will eventually run out when I’m inside, so I should try testing my base strength against this guy…’ I reasoned.
The mont I got closer, nearly reaching it, the Demon geared itself for battle, now making its move. A wide grin ford on my face as I opened my arms wide to welco it.
“Let’s see what you’ve got!”
