Currently inside the goblins cave...

"K-Kgh..."

"Finally done..." After piercing the current goblin in front of me right into the chest with one of my daggers could I finally relax for a little bit.

Removing the dagger from this chest, I moved back towards the cave entrance and seated to some nearby rocks, and waited outside.

After some time passing I thought back at the fight I had with those goblins.

While fighting with those goblin daggers I experienced some difficulties that I didn´t have with my sword. The first obvious difference would be the length which greatly increased the difficulty to kill those green blobs.

The second would be the quality of the daggers which were beyond terrible, I would even say that it was crap!

The moment you tried to pierce something with those things you will realize that it was easier to abandon the dagger than to pull it back since the whole action was more like ripping with pure force rather.

Heck, when I first tried to pull it out it didn´t come alone, instead, I dragged organs out of this poor goblin!

Even I was shocked at first!

And I bet it wasn´t a nice sight to those goblins either, since seeing one of their own getting this organs pulled out from this inside wasn`t in particular nice.

Rather, it was terrifying!

After I have done this I could clearly see their knees shaking out of fear and their loud voices became even weaker.

"Still, I made quite the gruesome mess, didn`t I? But even though this whole mess was happening why didn´t a new group come over to help? It can´t be that these were the last goblins inside the cave....right?"

Seeing that no other group was coming I felt quite depressed and glad at the same time.

Glad cause I was able to eliminate the group of 8 without any problems and depressed cause my focus was on keeping an escape route at ready the whole time so that I don`t get surrounded. But what was the point of keeping my guard the whole time when in the end it was going to be wasted effort!?

"Sigh, It can´t be helped, better safe than sorry I guess. Anyways why aren´t they coming out? it can´t be that they didn´t hear our battle right? or did they underestimated me and sent just this group...?"

Shaking my head helplessly I stood up and headed deeper inside the cave. but before that...

"I should carry more than 3 daggers this time around and properly replace my cloth "armor" with some new cloth...."

After kindly taking the cloth from the goblin corpses together with some of their daggers I continued deeper inside the cave. While going deeper I found what looked like the sleeping place of those goblins.

On the walls, I could see multiple holes that were crudely dug out together with some of the same cloth that the goblins wear as some kind of decoration. In front of me is what I would describe a garbage dump, in the floor were some small pieces of the same metal used for the dagger while in the corners was some meat that was floating in some kind of yellow-looking water which I haven´t seen before. Other than that there were only some half-destroyed barrels with many scratches and holes and something that had meat attached to it by some strings.

Looking at the meat I bought myself a question...

Where did it come from?

"Did I by any chance miss another kind of creature while I was exploring? That shouldn't be it, although I haven´t explored everything I should at least have met 1 by now..."

After thinking for I while I still had no clue what kind of that meat, but suddenly an idea came to mind.

"Status should work right?" without much hesitation, I gripped one of the pieces of the meat and used status.

[Dried Goblin Meat]: A dried piece of goblin meat. They say that the meat from around the belly has the most fat in it, but that is false. In actuality, the part with the most fat is a little more below the belly between bot-"

"Dammit!" I immediately threw this piece of fat and stepped on it until I was satisfied.

"To think that I actually touched this piece of trash with my hand..."

At first, I was in disbelief at the fact that they were eating each other but as I continued to read the description I became disgusted.

I cursed my curiosity for a while I continued to go deeper inside the cave since there wasn´t much to see other than trash.

After walking for a while, I could finally hear screeches for far in the path.

"So they choose to hide instead of fighting huh...are they stupid?" Why attack me in the first place when you are going to hide in the?

"Kgh!

"Kghhah!"

"Kgwha!"

It seems like they noticed me...well, it isn´t like I tried to hide or anything but these particular goblins were for some reason louder than the other ones that I had killed.

Annoying...

The current room that I was, was quite different than the one from before. This room didn`t have holes in the walls or trash all over the place. The only noteworthy inside this room would be the 3 goblins in front of that were near to what looks like a seat. Which I found quite weird for several reasons. Why was this the only room with a seat and why was this seat so large? It was way too large for those goblins.

"Let´s see, one, two...only three? And I thought that there will be more. Quite dissapoi-" Just before I could finish I heard a loud behind me as if something heavy has fallen.

"-ing?"

Just before I was able to turn around a club larger than the ones that the goblins were using hit my side with a massive force which sent me flying and rolling for a few meters.

"KGHAGHAGHA!"

A massive voice that was similar to a roar was laughing.

Similar to the goblins with green skin together with a vicious face with a club on this hand.

It was laughing.

"Status!"

Dammit.

Dammit!

Dammit!

"DAMMIT!" I was shocked. I was too careless. I should even be more careful!

How did this guy come from behind me!? I already passed through there so how!?

I observed the huge goblins which sent me flying or rather this hobgoblin. Seeing this status I freaked out for a moment. I can`t win against this thing! Not only did it had the same skill sprint as the lvl 3 goblin but I faced but the skill was already level 3!

And it has a second skill!

[Heavy Strike Lv.1] Blend your mana with your weapon to increase the force behind an attack. Although the method is crude and unrefined it gets the job done.

Forget about the attributes This skill sounded really terrifying!

He even blocked my escape path...! How can I possibly kill this bastard...

AH!

"Show me my status XP!"

[XP: 4400]

Although I could just show the interface by just thinking in my head, the current me wasn´t calm. It wasn`t fear or anything the like. It was the same hot feeling that I was experiencing when I first fought with the level 3 goblin.

"I just need a tiny little bit more...just a little MORE!"

I immediately picked myself up and rushed with my daggers towards the three goblins!

I just need to kill them!

*crack

Although my left side arm had some cracks I still pushed myself to kill these three goblins!

Seeing this the hobgoblin gave chase. Although he was a tiny bit faster than me, the direction that he sends me flying was towards the three goblins and the distances weren´t that small. Even though it was only a few meters it was enough for me to reach the three goblins first.

"K-Kghaa!" The three goblins cried out of panic by seeing me coming for them. Even if they wanted to run away they couldn´t. Behind them were nothing more than a wall and the throne that I thought was a seat at first.

Having no other option, the 3 goblins went to the throne and picked up different kinds of weapons from a barrel that was beside the throne.

One picked the axe, while the other picked up a spear with the last one to pick a shield with a dagger. After they were done they turned around to face me with their weapons high.

When I first saw all the different kinds of weapons that the goblins had I became worried that these three goblins might be the elite force with the hobgoblin that was chasing me being the king.

But the moment the goblin swung the axe towards me I noticed that wasn´t the case. The hands of This goblin were trembling and when they attacked me they would close their eyes for a short moment.

I dodged the axe by sidestepping it and stabbed the goblin right in the throat the next moment I could, killing it in less than two seconds.

After taking a look at the status of the goblin I killed I realized that although this goblin was level 2, it had lower stats than the normal goblin thus far.

"KGWAAA!"

Hearing the enraged voice of the hobgoblin behind me I realized why these 3 goblins were this weak.

"I see, these are your female goblin aren´t they".

Three more left.

I jumped towards the two female goblins trying to kill both of them before the hobgoblin reached me.

The female goblin with the spear tried to push it through my chest, only to go right through my cloth armor and come from behind, thus hitting nothing. I quickly slashed my dagger through her neck halfway through abandoning my dagger insider her neck.

[You received 200 Experience points]

Two left.

I quickly turned around only to see the female goblin completely hiding her face with the shield and point her dagger towards me.

"Stupid..." I gripped the shield and pulled it towards me.

Between my physique and my superior strength, I easily lifted the female goblin in the air and pierced her through the chest.

[You received 200 Experience points]

I abandon my last dagger in her chest and I quickly equipped the shield in my left arm and the female goblin dagger.

"One lef-"

"KGHWAAAAGHA!"

Right before I finished equipping the shield and the dagger. The hobgoblin's legs and club shined with a small green and white light.

Before I knew the hobgoblin was right beside me ready to smash me apart!

"Shi-" I quickly put the shield in front of me in hopes to block the hobgoblin's strike, but what I didn´t expect was the power behind this strike.

*Crack

"What!?"

Even though I shielded myself it wasn`t enough. The moment the club met with my shield my hand started to break. Although I blocked that, I was send flying and crashing to the throne.

*Baahm!

"Seriously..."

I was seated on the throne with my whole body still trembling by the impact. And seeing the hobgoblin slowly walking towards I could grin viciously.

"You trashed me enough don´t you think?"

I bought the status up and with a whisper I said:

"Acquire...Miasma!"

With that.

An enormous dark death aura was coming out of my body.

Engulfing me and the throne in complete Darkness!
