Chapter 19: Humans (1)
[Strength increased by 1.]
[Prey after Goblin Warrior Hunting 23/200]
[Health increased by 1]
I became a Hob Goblin, and my stomach was quite large, but my stomach was full of two Warriors. Of course, for me to lower my stamina and take my stomach off, I could use Leap.
[Goblin Warrior Predation After Hunting 49/200]
[Beginner leap has become Lv7.]
[Magic has increased by 1]
The fountain of magical energy is flickering. There is no magic to waste.
[Goblin Warrior Predation After Hunting 56/200]
[Health increased by 1]
[Prey 1/5 after hunting Goblin Knights]
[The strength increased by 2]
[You have acquired the Beginner Power Attack.]
The hand that was reaching out toward another prey stopped. I clearly saw the notification that I had just learned a new skill.
Power Attack? I urgently browsed the skill information.
[Beginner Power Attack Lv1]
[Instantly exerts powerful power by putting mana in your own weapon. Health is also consumed. Increases the chance of critical strikes and injuries, but after using it, you will not be able to move for a while due to the rebound that exerts great power.]
I opened my eyes. There was no doubt. It was the same skill used by the Goblin Knight and the other Goblin Warriors and Goblin Knights!
Finally, I have acquired a skill related to melee attacks. Of course, I know the disadvantages well, so it will take a lot of practice…
‘But I got stronger.’
A skill that consumes mana in addition to physical strength… Predation is necessary to practice this.
However, since it is also inevitable to use Leap and Black Lightning, I decided to use these three skills evenly from now on, as I recover stamina and mana through predation.
I tried Power Attack a few times immediately, and after roughly grasping my sense of skill, I started predation again. The speed of eating naturally became faster because the strength and mana fountain could be brought out more quickly.
[Goblin Warrior Predation After Hunting 78/200]
[Beginner Black Lightning has become Lv6.]
[Strength increased by 1.]
[Goblin Warrior Predation After Hunting 134/200]
[Health increased by 1]
[Beginner Power Attack has become Lv2.]
Goblin Warriors yielded a taste similar to boiled chicken breast, even if it is full of blood.
The taste that should be the worst is still delicious, thanks to the Predation skill.
[200/200 predation after Goblin Warrior hunting]
[Beginner Leap has become Lv8.]
[Strength increased by 1.]
[Magic increased by 1]
[Beginning Black Lightning has become Lv7.]
[Beginner Leadership became Lv10 and changed to Lower Leadership. The number of objects that can be under control increases. A little chance is given to control a higher-level object than yourself.]
Again. Leadership has grown to a Lower level. It’s my third-highest skill, other than Swordsmanship and Detection. However, it is a skill I’ve never used before.
“What the hell.”
As I sighed and tried to reach out for a new body, I realized something as I saw my hand stopped in the air. There were no more bodies around. I ate the entire number of Warrior bodies. There must have been over three hundred nine.
Of course, the quest has been achieved. If I hunt and eat 476 Goblin Fighters, 4 Goblin Knights, and 1 Goblin King, I will have new possibilities.
[Gang Si-ha (Fate)]
[Hop Goblin Lv 32]
[Strength – 136 Stamina – 135 Magic – 49 Luck-???]
[Skill- Ebon Heart, Predation Lv2, Lower Swordsmanship Lv5, Beginner Spear Lv4, Beginner Smash Lv3, Beginner Archery Lv1, Beginner Armor Defense Lv6, Beginner Spell Lv4, Beginner Throw Lv8, Beginner Power Attack Lv3, Beginner Black Lightning Lv7, Beginner Leap Lv8…]
The status change was less than my expectations. It adds 20 status to strength and stamina, and 10 status to magic. It’s a 7-level bonus, but I was looking forward to getting 10 levels or higher.
The more you eat, the more corpses you need to raise one stat. In the end, I had to eat 20 bodies just to raise a stat.
Still, the skill growth was delightful. As I consumed a lot of Warriors dealing with swords, the Lower Level Swordsmanship reached level 5, and there were also spears, smashes, and even archery that I didn’t have. All abilities are beneficial once you have them. There was nothing bad.
Leap, Black Lightning, and Power Attack have been used continuously to empty my stamina and magic, resulting in Beginner Level 8, Level 7, and Level 3, respectively. Throwing and sensing were also skills most of the Warriors had, so it grew a lot, and armor defense was the same.
Warrior bodies were all eaten. Growth has been confirmed. I naturally moved on to the next thing to do.
This is to hunt the remaining 476 Goblin Fighters.
“Keycake!”
“Key, key!”
I never imagined the day would come when I would say this in this dungeon.
It’s so easy.
[I gained 50 experience]
[I got 10 bronze.]
A light sword attack separated the goblin fighter’s neck and body. A simple kick can break a Fighter’s neck. Fighting the Goblin Fighter now, there was no need for sensation, detection, or skill.
There was a wall that could never be crossed between them and me. I was struck by a Goblin Fighter’s sword, but it didn’t hurt at all.
It is not because the armor is defensive. My stamina at 135 could not be affected by a rusty sword wielded by a Goblin Fighter.
No matter how many there were, they couldn’t beat me anymore. Just by kicking and hitting, Goblin Fighters fell into their deaths.
Adult and child? No. It was more like a fight between a martial arts champion and a newborn baby.
Even with hundreds of babies, you can’t put a martial arts champion at risk. It was the same.
[I gained 45 experience.]
[I got 9 bronze.]
I moved across the aisle, randomly cutting down every Goblin Fighter I encountered. It would take a long time to kill and predicate all 476, but I had something to look forward to.
Then, I experienced my second mass appearance.
There seems to be a certain law in mass appearances, which is hunting dozens or more of the same monster in quick succession.
This is only my guess, however, so I wanted to verify it on a less dangerous opponent, Goblin Fighters.
“Keycake!”
“Kick!”
“Key profit!”
The Goblin Fighter is frightened and starts running away as soon as he sees me, but I don’t want to miss a single one.
If I see one, I either run and cut it down or throw a weapon to kill it.
Then, I eat right on the spot, using Black Lightning, Leap and Power Attacks if I feel full of mana and stamina. There is no waste.
And then, the omen appeared. Goblin Fighters started to go together in two.
“Keycake!”
“Kikkiik!”
As soon as I discovered it, I acted with a sharper sense of the whole body, so I can respond promptly even when mass appearance occurs.
Even if I don’t do it, I probably won’t be in danger, but I’m training my mindset so that even when I face Goblin Warriors in large numbers, I can overcome it.
So, this is it.
Suddenly, I heard voices. It was a young man and a woman.
“Oh, brother. I’m so scared. Do we really have to come in like this?”
“Even if I’m scared, I can’t help it. Seongbuk-gu was the only place where the suspension was taken. This is the only place we can come in.”
“Speak in a smaller voice. If you think the monster is too dangerous, you have to jump right away.”
“Oppa, why do we have to raise our level?”
“Didn’t you hear the government announcement? Combatants are treated differently, depending on their level. How lucky they are to be both combatants. And please lower your voice!”
The first thought I had was to interrupt them, ‘You must be quieter if you don’t want goblins to notice you.’
The next thought was that both siblings were too weak.
I thought all the combatants would be strong, but it appears that it was just an illusion.
Only
Each of them, at best, will only be able to catch one goblin.
“Mom… .”
“Do not cry.”
“But I’m scared, brother.”
“We should live well. You too… We can’t die in vain.”
“Huh… I want to live. I want to live well.”
Listening to the sibling’s conversation, I remembered my sister, who was partnering with the bandit’s daughter. I am a monster, and I am an enemy to them.
It is easier to die soon than face her in battle.
