Mass Appearance (2)
I felt an ominous feeling as I watched them approach.
I stood next to the entrance of the aisle. The moment they reached the aisle, they raised their swords with intensity.
“Hah-ah-ap!”
“Great!”
I stuck my sword, and it put a hole on the neck of the first Goblin Warrior. I bumped into his body, using it as a shield, while a second Goblin Warrior attacked. Since my body was covered by the first Goblin Warrior’s body, the second Goblin Warrior’s sword hit its companion’s head instead. I whipped my sword to finish the first Goblin Warrior off.
[You received 960 experience.]
[You acquired 80 bronze.]
[Beginner Surprise has become Lv4.]
I pushed the corpse to the second Goblin Warrior’s body, but he was able to avoid it. I reached out and fired black lightning at him.
The black lightning hit his weapon and flowed to shock his body. The moment he closed his eyes, I rushed.
He swung his sword and hit my shoulder.
“Okay!”
“Kiririk!”
Damn!
Thanks to reading the sword’s trajectory, I was able to avoid getting hit on the head. However, I am in terrible pain due to my injured shoulder.
He tried to injure me by wielding the sword again, but as he did, I leaned back and attacked his chin. Even in pain, my movement did not seem to be affected at all.
“Kreew!”
“Stop!”
Bastard, who pierced his face with his chin, popped out of his head. His sword almost reached my neck before it dropped lifelessly. I was finally able to relax.
[You received 1,080 experience.]
[You acquired 1 silver.]
[Level up!]
[You have acquired the Beginner Armor Defense skill.]
[Beginner Armor Defense Lv1.]
[Use armor to defend against enemy attacks. As the skill level increases, the damage taken from enemies decreases and can be effectively defended. If you hit a lot, your skill will grow.]
I got the level-up that I had been waiting for, and even a skill I never expected.
But rather than that, I was reflecting on myself who had just been faked by a Goblin Warrior.
‘Damn, Black Lightning is definitely a powerful skill, but it’s still beginner-level. There is no guarantee that the Goblin Warrior will be shocked or cursed. It is suicide to believe in only the black lightning!’
I need to focus instead on sharpening your sword and movements, getting less attack from enemies, and relying on my own defenses, such as the armor defense I just got.
Relying totally on black lightning can lead to a fatal mistake, just like the one moments ago.
‘Okay, I’m done thinking about it.’
Now, it’s time to figure out how to deal with the five Goblin Warriors that are approaching in a straight line from the path beyond.
Damn it.
Of course, I expected to some extent that I would battle with more of them. But I didn’t know it would be so fast.
There will be some sort of rule. I wish I could figure it out later, but I don’t have a chance now.
‘Five.’
It was difficult if it was before I got the armor. But now it is different. My attack power is strong, and my defense is now strong enough to continue moving even after getting hit.
It was not arrogance but confidence.
‘Of course, I should still be careful.’
I concentrated on the five foes running through the aisle, and in a very short moment, I figured out how I would move to get the least amount of damage.
One of them rushed forward alone, but fortunately, it was just what I expected.
I put my Colossal Sword straight into the embarrassed Warrior’s neck. I couldn’t take the time to hold on to one guy; my attacks had to be as efficient as possible.
“Kaaaaaaaah!”
[You received 1,014 experience.]
[You acquired 83 bronze.]
I pulled out the sword and rolled back.
There was a Warrior who used an ax. The thick blade was quite slow, but if it wielded properly, it would have a stronger impact compared to a sword.
In an instant, I found myself automatically shooting a black lightning bolt at them.
Black Lightning is a technique that attacks all enemies in close range. Because they were surrounding me, the four were hit by black lightning all at once.
Two of them got paralyzed after being shocked by the bolt. They fell down with a thud. Sadly, it wasn’t as effective to the two others, but at least I had two enemies down temporarily in one shot.
“Oh, ah!
“Kee-i-yi!”
I faced the Goblin Warrior with the ax and a Goblin Warrior with a sword!
I hit the ax first.
It sent the ax flying through the air! The one with the sword seems to be waiting for me to avoid the falling ax before making his move.
I quickly jumped to the side and struck down the wooden ax handle, before clicking the blade away. They will not be able to use it anymore.
“Hey!?”
The ax Warrior went insane with the sight of his broken weapon. He rushed at me.
Exactly what I was waiting for. I stretched my Colossal Sword without difficulty and went through his neck.
[You received 1,200 experience.]
[You acquired 1 silver 10 bronze.]
At that moment, the paralyzed Warriors stood up, the effect of the spell has ended. I step back again.
“Kee-i-yi!”
Because they suffered the black lightning strike from being too close together, they were separate from each other this time, approaching with caution.
It’s better for me. I was confident that I could deal without difficulty on a one-to-one basis. I assaulted one with my sword raised.
At that time, the Goblin Warrior in front of me raised his sword for a heavy swing. His sword was shining.
The Ebon Heart vibrated once. I could read the sword’s trajectory, and I am ready to block it, but I believed in the Ebon Heart and my instinct.
Instead of continuing my assault, I used Leap to get back. My body flew as if being dragged by something.
The Goblin Warrior’s swinging sword missed, and its blade hit the ground instead. The ground that got hit burned and burst with light.
“Kurr… … !”
The Warrior clicked his tongue as if it was a waste.
I landed safely from using Leap and stared at the burning ground. I was amazed. Obviously, that was an attack using mana. In other words, skill!
Meanwhile, the other two warriors jumped forward. They were also lifting the sword, but I could not feel any magic power coming from their attacks.
I laughed at them and swung my sword to send their weapons flying.
“Ki-ii!”
A Goblin Warrior with a stupid face stared at his sword, flying in the air.
Beyond the two, the Goblin Warrior with the skill began to approach me again. His sword was shining again.
I focused on him over the other Goblin Warriors.
I jumped to the right to avoid his sword, and as soon as it missed, I hit him with a counter-attack. Blood spurted from his neck.
“Kiyiiii!”
He fell and rolled on the floor. The other Warriors were regaining their weapons by that time, but I ignored them. I rushed at the wounded Warrior and put him out of his misery.
[You received 1,290 experience.]
[You acquired 1 silver 15 bronze.]
I quickly snapped his body and rolled it into my inventory. One of the Warrior’s attacked me, and I felt his sword struck my back.
It was painful, but it was a damage that I can take.
“Kyaaap!”
He shrieked as I cut off his arm. He fell on the floor due to the impact. I stepped over his body, sticking my sword in his neck.
“Kee, Ki-yi…!”
“Stop!”
I cast black lightning and made it flow from my hands through the weapon stuck in his neck.
“Kee, ee, ee, ee, ee!”
[You received 960 experience.]
[You acquired 85 bronze.]
[You acquired the Beginner Knife Throw Skill.]
Damn, the skill that was once lost is now back!
But there was no time to waste. I urgently pulled my sword from the corpse and chased after the last Goblin Warrior. I dealt with him with one swing, without much difficulty.
[You received 960 experience.]
[You acquired 85 bronze.]
“If it’s just like before, it’s time to relax now.”
As if listening to my murmur, a Goblin Warrior suddenly roared from the passage over there!
Moreover, when I focused on the detection, it seemed that it wouldn’t end with just these five. Maybe I’m going through a massive goblin warrior’s appearance.
I split open one of the Goblin Warriors’ body. Blood spilled all over, and I carried him more easily than I thought, soaking my sword and armor in his blood.
Only
The cracks on my slightly damaged armor noticeably disappeared. At the same time, I felt refreshed.
“Good.”
I snapped the right arm off the body before throwing the rest of it down.
As I chewed on the arm, I got myself reflecting.
I just beat five Goblin Warriors in a battle I thought I could never win.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
[1:19:35]
“Let’s go.”
