Demon King

Maybe it's because I've already eaten dozens of Goblins. I'm used to eating something my size now.

It used to take more than 10 minutes to eat a Goblin, but now it only takes 3 minutes to eat a Goblin Fighter that is slightly bigger than a Goblin.

Without a clock, we don't know the exact time, but that's probably it.

[Goblin Fighter Hunt & Predatory 1/100]

[Strength +1.]

I was happy enough to cry looking at the tiny glass window that followed the quest contents. At this moment of gaining status from predation, I felt a sense of accomplishment and satiety that I could not talk about.

Yes. Unlike Goblins, Goblin Fighters are not only trivial, but most Goblin Fighters are several times capable. In the future, you can expect a little improvement in these abilities. I will be able to become stronger even faster.

Suddenly, when I was happy, I heard a loud sound that was shattering my dreams that were swelling.

“Monster, monster! ”

“It's the Goblin. It's your turn, Usherin. Get me some popcorn."

“Boss, you're scaring me, don't joke! ”

“You two stay back. ”

Human voices were spreading much, much further away than they thought, because they had no intention of controlling themselves at all. It looks like the Goblins haven't been able to feel the strength of those mercenaries until now, but that seems to have reached its limit.

You can feel the massive movement of the Goblins. It's hard to do this alone, so let's go in groups. Fair choice. We've only sent a few of them in first to stop the humans from escaping and are building a siege in between.

Goblins living in dungeons are hostile to each other rather than swarming, but creepy enough to stick together when an enemy from the outside appears.

How do I know so well? I've been good at hunting Goblins and reading their manners for some time now. I was also treated as a common enemy by those Goblins.

‘We don't have to get involved with those idiots for nothing. Let's go inside. ’

Without hesitation, I went deeper and deeper into the passageway.

But the moment I entered the second passageway, the chill ran over my body.

“Huff.”

What the hell is going on here?

There is a large Goblin just inside the passageway.

“Glug.”

One head is bigger than me, and one of the Goblins is the most impressive. Moreover, leather armor worn by Goblin themes.

The last thing I need is a long, thick Bastard sword that looks humble. The length of that Bastard looked a bit like my height if I exaggerated it a bit.

But what was scarier was the momentum in his body.

He's a higher ranking than a Goblin fighter. It was different from me.

It was these guys who felt and avoided being monsters before.

I'm going to die like this.This opponent can't win.

My heart started beating. The dark heart was beating violently, accelerating the blood flow of the entire body. The idea of having to live ran through reason.

I was instinctively deciding how to move on to survive this situation. This should also be a modest improvement. And the instant that thought ran towards its peak,

“Glug?”

He looks at me and tilts his head. And you wiggle the bastards in one hand. It was like lightning flashed before my eyes.

“Hehe!”

Red blood splashes into the air. Immediately after I remembered the fireworks, enormous pain struck me. I felt like my abdomen and chest were open. It hurt.

It hurts so badly.It hurts like death.

I swooped down into thin air like a stuffed animal. He smiles satisfactorily and walks out of the hallway. It was the steps of a person with a destination.

I finally realized why he was in the middle of Goblin Fighters' realm.

He also knew the existence of Humans from the outside and came out to hunt them down. And I ran into an unfortunate encounter. A mere coincidence brought me to the brink of death.

I was lying there a little longer. I wonder if he'll come back, or if any of the other top species will come out of him. But that didn't happen.

You get up from your seat. It still hurts, but you can move.

In fact, the wound was not that deep.

“Phew, Phew... It still hurts. Shit.”

I knew an attack would come from him. I took a step back at the moment of the attack, and the blade of the man who was to remove my intestines lightly sweeped through my abdomen.

It was a gamble of sorts. He could have put more hits, and he could have realized the attack was lighter in the first place. But I guess my performance in front of death was pretty good.

And the heart of darkness. It speeds up the flow of blood, causing a substantial amount of blood to spill even with a light blow. Though his stamina was consumed, it should have been of little help in deceiving him.

I survived anyway.

‘I thought I was really going to die. ’

The moment I encountered him, what I felt was overwhelming fear and despair. One more thing: anger.

How many times have I faced the horror of death in a time that was never long! Now I feel like I have a bone.

But the dungeon here is not an environment for me to avoid danger. The realm of monsters is fixed, but like the superspecies that just passed, Irregular can always appear.

‘You have to be stronger faster. Hurry up.'

The blood has stopped. The black heart must have something to do with recovery. I move as I struggle to overcome the burning bitterness in my abdomen and chest.

Just then, a Goblin Fighter appeared with a dark light in the middle of my walkway.

I've seen it a few times already. Creates monsters in a space where there was nothing. In the dungeon, it was no surprise that it was normal. This is a Goblin Fighter territory, so Goblin Fighters appear. That was it.

In other words, the monsters that were just born are quite dull than normal. Even if it was like me, I would have been defenseless when I opened my eyes to the Goblin body.

They're good prey, after all. Mainly me.

“Cook! Cough!" ”

The Goblin Fighter screams. He was close to me, and the iron sword I put out pierced his chest without any resistance. The Goblin Fighters' weapons are nothing but rusty swords. There is no way to stop the Iron Sword.

“Goodbye. ”

I kicked him with my foot as hard as I could to pull out the sword from his chest. The Goblin Fighter has certainly lost his life over it.

[You got EXP 100.]

[You got 10 bronze.]

[Level Up!]

At that moment, the wound across my abdomen and chest disappeared without a trace.

It was almost a miracle cure. I feel completely restored and captivated by the feeling that I can fight anyone. The status that came to one side of my vision made me feel more puffed up.

[Fade]

[Goblin Fighter Lv. 11]

[Strength – 30 HP – 31 MP – 5 Luck]

[Skill – Dark Heart, Predatory Lv1, Escape Lv1, Beginner Slash Lv4, Beginner Throw Lv2]

Strength and Health +2! ’

I opened my eyes. I can feel why the top species have to be strong. The starting point is a different topic, and even if the level rises, the numbers are high.

And what's more advanced than a fighter? What monsters are stronger than that? Of course, the difference will get bigger.

I remembered the superior species that passed me by. He swings his sword like he's chasing a fly in front of him. I didn't confirm my death, maybe because I was dead or alive or because I had no threat to myself.

Indeed, I will. I'm overwhelmed by his speed and strength, and it's usually hard to pierce his hide and put a knife through it based on his high stamina.

But it's only now. Soon it will be possible. I will make it possible.

“Goblin Warrior!? This is a Goblin Warrior! What should I do?”

“Shit, the exits are blocked. Acting organically on Goblin themes...! ”

“Huff... I'll get rid of them all!" Surin is under my protection! ”

“Kiiiiiiiy!”

That's when the commotion from the other side was amplified. He attacked a group of mercenaries.

I vaguely thought he was a superior species, but I think he was named Goblin Warrior.

But wait a minute.

By the way, if the Goblin Warrior defeats that mercenary, won't he come back here?
