[Prepare to clear the first wave!]
[Hobgoblins remaining 500/500]
Soon time passed, and while Hunter and the clown were discussing what to do next, the counter finally reached its final
And looking at the objective, the clown who had been a bit worried couldn't help but calm down
"Haha hunter, it looks like we were worried for no reason"
"Goblins? According to the young master, these are among the weakest of monsters"
"And as for the number 500, that's even more of a joke! Or can you tell me 500 ants can defeat an elephant?"
Laughing at the quest, the clown suddenly didn't put the current situation in his eyes. After all, who is he?
As a masterpiece created by his master, the clown couldn't imagine anyone else posing a threat to it, much less goblins
However, unlike his laughing colleagues, Hunter remained silent as he looked at the current quest with a frown
*This quest should be that simple, especially if his aim was to drain us both physically and mentally*
*Plus if we consider the strength of that arm that left us powerless to resist, then its owner shouldn't be weak much less his dungeon*
Thinking of all these things, Hunter felt more and more that something wasn't right, unfortunately, he couldn't quite place his fingers on it
"Clown, remember this we have two more waves after this, we can't afford to get tired"

"During this wave, you stay still and watch my back, unless necessary don't try to butt in" Said Hunter
Considering the current situation, he couldn't avoid taking any chances
At least this way, if anything unexpected happens then the clown could jump in
Fortunately, the clown who was that the quest had to deal with goblins had no interest in fighting, so hearing hunter's words he nodded in agreement
*Boom!*
Just as both of them had finished talking, with a loud sound the ground suddenly started to vibrate
Chips of stone on the ceiling began to fall, and stones on the ground began to rise
Accompanied by the sound of loud galloping, what hunter and the clown saw next was completely different from what the small-statured green-skinned fellows expected
"wahhhhhh!"
Draped in metal and armour and tribal ornaments, five hundred-two-meter tall green screen creatures roared forward with some sort of horses beneath them
With extremely toned physiques to accentuate their muscles and weapons such as bronze swords, shields, spears, and bows in hand, neither of them looked anything close to the word weak
"Damn it, Hunter! We made a mistake!"
"Look at the quest again! It says Hobgoblin not goblin!" Roared the clown who at this time had noticed the situation
However, hunter who saw this still remained expressionless to this change
Taking out two twin daggers from beneath his coat, he turned toward the clown one last time
"It doesn't matter if their goblins or hobgoblins, the plan still remains the same"
"Don't mess it up or I'll tell the master once we get back"
Saying this he charged forward ready to meet the incoming monster wave
"Damn hunter, who wanted to interfere with your fight, I was just giving you a heads up!" Shouted the clown
Unfortunately, Hunter at this time had already changed into battle leaving him with no reply
"Humph, we'll let's just wait for the next wave"
"Then it'll be me fighting and you watching, then we'll see how that feels"
Saying this, the clown sat crossed-legged in position as he watched hunters fight ready to jump in if something went wrong
.........…
[Number of Hobgoblins remaining 490/500]
[470/500]
[450/500]
Soon the battle was in full bloom, and like a gust of wind hunter kept appearing in different places, taking a life each time he swung his dagger
No matter how many times the goblins wanted to stab him or slice him, Hunter seemed to have eyes at the back of his head dodging them and then launching a counterattack
And sadly for the hobgoblins, rather than become tired as time passed, hunter seemed to become more fierce giving the already losing hobgoblins a harder time
"Six consecutive cuts!" Yelled Hunter
And as he shouted this, the whole world seemed to slow down
*Boom!*
Before anyone could react, channeling his energy into his daggers, Hunter released a slack going forward in all six directions
And following the slash, what happened next truly frightened the hobgoblins
Like tofu meeting a knife, the slice went through hobgoblin after hobgoblin.
And thanks to that, the Hobgoblins didn't seem so numerous now
[Number of Hobgoblins remaining 230/500]
[detecting less than half of the initial hobgoblins remain]
[Commencing phase 2]
[Start berserk mode!]
"What is this?"
Looking at the sudden series of prompts, although Hunter had expected something like this to happen
However seeing this in reality, Hunter couldn't help but sigh in frustration
Although he didn't show it, however, Hunter knew that his move just now had cost him about thirty percent of his strength
Not to add the ten percent he lost fighting before that
Hunter knew he himself was at maybe sixty percent, if not less at the moment
"Sigh hunter, what are you doing? You need to calm down and think of a way to end this quickly"
"If you don't end this battle soon, you'll end up dying before the third wave!"
Scolding himself, Hunter tried to retain his calm as he analysed the current situation
Now rather than being worried, he had to find out what this so-called berserk mode was
However, before he could do that, something unexpected happened
"Hunter watch out!"
*Boom!*
Accompanied by a loud voice and strong voice, Hunter who was still lost in thought was suddenly flung across the room by that force
"Damn clown what is wrong with yo-!"
Standing up slowly, Hunter who was about to curse at the clown for suddenly bumping into him couldn't help but stop in place as he saw the scene before him
At this time, the former two-meter-tall green screen had become four metre tall with deep red skin
And not only that, their sense of presence seemed doubled many times indicating their growth in strength
However, this wasn't what made Hunter so shocked, rather it was a certain hobgoblin that left him speechless
Where he had just stood just now was a goblin laughing magically with pride in his tone
And on his spear, was none other than the clown who pushed him away
Obviously, if it wasn't for the clowns push, then it would have been him on the other tip of that spear
