BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147: Passing The Tutorial, Rich Rewards
||You killed a level 1 Tree Goblin. You obtained 5 EXP.||
After he got the ||Short Sword||, the tempo of the fight between Silas and the Tree Goblins changed. He was no longer on the passive side, as he faced them head on.
With every opportunity he got, Silas reaped a life, turning them into motes of light and gaining experience points.
In just a few moments, he has killed four more Tree Goblins. The number of Tree Goblins has reduced by more than half, as Silas has already taken care of all the level 1 among them, and more than half of the level 2.
Though the situation was generally manageable, Silas wasn't in a good mood. His stamina and HP were almost running out due to the ongoing fight with the Tree Goblins. This is coupled with his previous activations of the ||Dodge|| skill, and the fact that he hasn't had the time to rest and recover his stamina.
Even though his stamina and HP was almost out, Silas knew that he has to push himself or he would really fail the tutorial.
Gritting his teeth, he took another unavoidable hit and used all of his strength to pierce the ||Short Sword|| into the head of a Tree Goblin.
||Level Up||
||You obtained 3 stat points||
Silas heard the sweet, melodious notification in his head and smiled. He was already getting impatient on when he's going to level up next, and this is after he has killed nearly all the Tree Goblins.
Immediately after the notifications popped up, Silas felt a rejuvenating feeling flow through the body, refreshing him and bringing his body that was already on the brink of collapse, to its peak.
Silas immediately allocated the stat points he got after leveling up. He added 2 stat points to his Strength and 1, was added to his stamina.
Kuerghh!
A scream came from behind Silas, forcing him to turn back and confront it.
"Shit! I nearly got myself killed!" Silas cursed, as he blocked the attack that was target at his spine area.
Silas forcefully pushed the Tree Goblin back, creating some places between the two of them.
He wasn't given a moment of respite, as he saw an arrow flying towards him.
"And I nearly forgot about the archers!" He said, as he quickly activated his skill, and was barely able to evade the attack.
His feet was about to touch the ground, when he felt a sharp pain in his back, causing him to stumble and fall.
"Arghh!"
Silas felt like half of his HP with that one hit. Honestly, at this point, he was already getting tired of the game.
He has never been in such a situation when he has to fight and constantly be on the losing side. He has read about it in book and watched it in movies, but for him, he has been the one dominating, as it takes for him is just a finger.
Silas wasn't given a moment to breath, as he heard the sound of an arrow approaching his position and two Tree Goblins trying to pierce him with a dagger.
He rolled, barely dodging the attack. He did another roll towards a Tree Goblin, and slashed the leg of a Tree Goblin, causing it to scream out in pain.
Silas didn't give the Tree Goblin a chance to regain its bearing, as he pushed himself up and slashed I at it simultaneously.
He reaped the life of another Tree Goblin and had less to take care of.
He didn't allow himself to rest, as he rushed towards another Tree Goblin and pierced its head.
He was about to attack the next Tree Goblin, when he felt a familiar sense of danger, followed by a whistling sound and he immediately evade its general location.
After evading the attack, he saw a fireball explode where he was previously standing.
"Two more level 2 Tree Goblins and all that would be left is the level 3 Chief Tree Goblin, and the level 5 Shaman Tree Goblin," Silas said to himself, looking at fhe group of Tree Goblins.
He exhaled loudly and rushed towards the two level 2 Tree Goblins that were left. He quickly closed the distance, and attacked.
The Tree Goblins also moved, trying their best to dodge Silas' attack but one of them was a tad bit too slow.
Silas stabbed the Short Sword into the Tree Goblin head, and with a fluid movement, pulled it back and slashed the neck of the second Tree Goblin.
He was forced to evade another attack from the Chief Tree Goblin.
After regaining his center of gravity, Silas looked at the Chief Tree Goblin and the Shaman Tree Goblin, and smiled.
"Just the two of you left," He said and rushed towards the closest among them — the Chief Tree Goblin.
The Chief Tree Goblin saw Silas' action, and took a fighting stance.
Silas smiled when he saw this. He has gotten a pattern to how the Tree Goblins fight, and he wasn't worried about the Chief Tree Goblin.
Silas doesn't know how strong or fast the level 3 and 5 Tree Goblins are, but he was sure that he would survive if he pushes himself. It was a very strong feeling of his.
His approach was quick and precise, and he gave the Chief Tree Goblin little time to guess what he was going to do as he slashed at it.
Using the spear in its hand, the Tree Goblin blocked Silas' attack, but a very solid punch crashed onto its face, stunning it.
Silas didn't waste time as he made a quick movement and slashed it's neck.
||You killed a level 3 Chief Tree Goblin. You obtained 25 EXP.||
Silas let out a sigh of relief when he heard the notification in his head.
He turned to look at the Shaman Tree Goblin, that was looking at him with fear in its eyes, at a distance.
"Now, it's just you and me," Silas said with an evil smile on his face.
Silas naturally had a reason for taking care of other Tree Goblins before the Shaman Tree Goblin. It's a common knowledge that mages and generally, ranged fighters are weak in melee combats, and Silas wants to see how true that statement is.
He rushed at the Shaman Tree Goblin, making sure he didn't give it a chance to lock onto him and launch an attack.
He quickly covered the distance and slashed with all his strength at it.
The Shaman Tree Goblin was weak against melee fighters, but it's three levels higher than Silas. It easily dodged Silas' attack and launched an already spell of its own.
The next moment, Silas saw tree roots shooting out of the ground right below him.
He immediately made a attempt to dodge it by moving out of the attack range, but a fireball spell was already waiting for him.
Booom!
An explosion was heard as the fireball made contact with his body.
"Argh! Fuck!"
Silas groaned in pain as he pushed himself from the ground, and rolled dodging an attack from the Shaman Tree Goblin.
The Shaman Tree Goblin didn't give Silas a chance to regain his bearings, as it launched another fireball attack.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Silas cursed as he dodged multiple spell attacks from the Shaman Tree Goblin.
Silas' act of rushing towards the Shaman Tree Goblin, even though it was reckless as it's three levels higher than him, was with a reason.
He knew that since it can use magic attacks, then it's definitely using mana points and he's waiting for its mana points to run out.
Even though he doesn't have the mana points stats in his status panel, he knew that it's the only possible explanation for the Shaman Tree Goblin's ability.
Just on cue, after multiple successive attacks, Silas saw it trying to run back to the tree.
"Gotcha!"
He made a precise calculation in his head and dashed towards it. He made sure not to give the Shaman Tree Goblin any chance to dodge or launch any more attacks.
The Shaman Tree Goblin saw that it was running out of mana, and it made a decision to run back into the tree. It didn't want to die at Silas' hand, but unfortunately for it, Silas was already prepared.
It was just a step from escaping into the tree when it felt a sharp pain in its back, and saw it's body disappearing into motes of light.
