Demon King

“Glug, glug... ”

But when I was happy, he raised his hand to me. Surprisingly, something popped out of his fingertips. A very faint white light that looks like a strap.

It hit me. The next moment, a tremendous amount of pain rushed through my body. A concussion. It's a concussion! The Goblin Warrior was firing a concussion! The Goblin theme!

After a series of attacks, he reaches out. He was staring at me and twitching his mouth. Are they laughing at me who can't even hurt themselves?

‘Hehe...! ’

I was so sick and scared that I couldn't move for a while. I wanted to turn around and run away. Probably would have done it if it was a Goblin Fighter other than me.

But I turned my back on him. He raises his hand in panic, and another concussion protrudes from it. However, the century was weaker than before, so it was quite bearable.

I forcibly move my grotesque body and chew off the arm of a goblin fighter from my inventory. I feel a little energized.

He was near me one day. He's shaking his eyes wide. Yes, I will.

His brain warfare magic is a sham. If I had the strength to shoot magic a few times, I would have used it fighting mercenaries. Leaving Mana in harm's way while allowing for fatal wounds? He's an idiot.

Of course, weakened epilepsy magic was enough to drive out the Goblins. Goblins really aren't that smart.

But not me.

You pull out a sharp iron sword. After finishing the Mana, you look at the Goblin Warrior's oval chest, which has become pale and unable to move. He looks at me and bites back slightly.

I have not forgotten my vigilance as he may attack me because he still has his stamina.

But he didn't move very well. I knew he was the limit.

I charge as hard as I can, as hard as I can, and put an iron sword through his abdomen.

“Cough!”

He screams a strange scream. I raised an arm that belonged to a small axis compared to my thin arm, swinging it to beat me. I lowered my body and pushed the sword even further away from it.

Instead of throwing me out, he shakes his head in the air, and the next moment, he drops his head.

Revenge was successful.

[EXP 700 has been obtained.]

[You got 95 bronze.]

[Level Up!]

[Beginner Slash is Lv5.]

I thought it was odd that I would get so much XP just by hitting a Goblin Warrior for a moment, but the world seemed to be the most martyristic. Perhaps it was the death of a mercenary who deserved experience.

As a result, no matter how hard I think about it, I have gained an enormous amount of experience that seems to require me to defeat the Goblin Warrior on my own.

It's only been a short time, but it's been up again. The body that had been messed up by the epileptic enchantment was completely restored to normal.

I rejoiced from the depths of my heart. I didn't scream. The Goblins who ran away will come again.

‘Lucky me. ’

I was really lucky. I was fortunate to think that someone who made me a Goblin was sorry to see me suffer and created this situation.

Now I don't have to be afraid that the Goblin Warrior who remembers me might come looking for me one day, gain experience at once, level up, and obtain a lot of strong prey.

…… many?

I looked down at the Goblin Warrior's corpse instead of even thinking about it. Unlike the corpse of a woman whose bones were almost eaten, what I looked at was the corpse of a mercenary who was already dead.

‘Eating... Humans?' ’

Conflict rose in my heart. If it had been me when I was human, there would have been an unimaginable light conflict. So it was even more shocking. He was shocked by the fact that he did not feel so repulsed by eating humans.

And I resisted. For the first time, I resisted two absolute propositions: being alive and being strong.

I stood ready to kill humans in order to survive. But eating humans was so different from eating humans. Humans kill the same humans in order to live. But I don't eat.

Oh, I see.

That's when I realized. I was still thinking of myself as a human being.

What I missed was not just the food of human society. I am trapped in the body of a Goblin in a cramped dungeon here, but I still miss the human life. It's stupid.

But one thing was certain. From the moment I eat humans, even if I become like humans one day, I can't be part of the same group as humans. that you can't go back to human society.

You will not be able to smile at them normally. With my mother and father and my brother and my friends.

What I did on the path of choice was a cowardly act. Putting two men's bodies in an inventory. That was a hold.

I am not willing to give up myself as a human being, and I cannot refuse the absolute proposition I set up as a monster. That's why we have to postpone our choices later. I was myself, but so pathetic.

‘One day. There will come a time when you will have to choose. ’

I have justified my actions now, pleading not to hesitate when at least the next moment I have to choose.

I put the dagger, longsword, and Bastard Sword in my inventory that were embedded in the Goblin Warrior's body. Then I moved the bodies of Goblin Warriors and Goblin Fighters one by one. Goblins have no intelligence and are far from the entrance to a relatively safe place.

Moving the Goblins to their corpses took too long, so they gave up.

After struggling to move them, I sat down firmly.

“Spectacular.”

The Mountain of the Dead was there. It was a sheep that even wondered if it could be eaten. But we have to eat here. There was no space left in my inventory, so I couldn't bear to just throw away the body of someone strong enough to strengthen my abilities.

I took a firm stance and raised the arms of the Goblin Warrior. A muscular arm that is different from Goblins and Goblin Fighters. I had no appetite at all, but I muttered as if I were rid of all the distractions that were getting stronger.

“I'll eat well. ”

The Goblin Warrior was wearing, and now he took off his generous leather armor to call garbage and ate him whole. It won't take long thanks to the help of a predatory skill. The taste was not surprisingly bad.

At that point, I was already full, but I couldn't help but notice the Goblin Fighter's corpse. But before I picked up the body, I felt a slight change in my body.

After evolving into a Goblin Fighter, I felt a little muscle attached to my arm that had become less awkward. Above all, I felt like the width of a small spring in my body was a little wider.

But that wasn't all. I felt like something new was inside of me, different from level up.

You're stronger. How did you get stronger? It was the window that appeared in front of my eyes, the notification window.

[Strength has increased by 2.]

[HP has increased by 3.]

[Magic power has increased by 1.]

[Beginner enchantment skill obtained.]

[Beginner Slash is Lv6.]

I rubbed my eyes and looked back at the notification window. And I confirmed that it wasn't a hallucination.

I've mastered magic.

The epilepsy the Goblin Warriors fired, perhaps I've mastered it!

No, wait. What did I do? I ate a Goblin Warrior. That's all I learned about epilepsy. Moreover, the beginner swordsmanship, which just moved up to level 5, has also moved up to level 6.

It is clear what this indicates.

Predatory skills don't just steal the physical status of the target you eat, they also steal a portion of the target's skill!
