Demon King

Chapter 8. Goblin Night 2

I clapped my cheek and came to my senses. Perhaps he was losing his mind after fighting in a row against enemies of my equal strength for a few hours.

It was a fight to survive, but I was enjoying the battle from a moment when the crisis was so overwhelming that I turned my head. It's just frightening of its own transformation.

But it's dangerous. Of course, retreating and avoiding a battle is not good, but if you get too caught up in a battle, you risk your life. I had to distinguish between what and what.

But now I don't think I'm going to back off. It's not an avoidable battle.

I've traveled around the rest of the dungeon quite a bit while fighting the Warriors, but I'm sure there's space and monsters on this floor, and I haven't found any stairs, stairs, elevators, escalators, or holes.

Then, should I dig the floor with a shovel? Into the basement stairwell? No way.

Perhaps this key will be the answer. Goblin King, and probably many Goblin Knights under his command.

Beyond that, there must be something that will allow us to defeat them and get down there.

I learned that fighting with the Warriors is a talent for collective warfare. Maybe it's because of the dark heart and the prey.

There's a chance. Goblin Knights are tougher than Warriors, but a few of them won't die in front of them.

There is only one variable, Goblin King. Maybe the Goblin King is Goblin Knight, the top species beyond. An object that has to evolve three times from a Goblin.

Of course, this damn dungeon could just as easily create a Goblin King, but it's his throne.

I have never won a battle with a superior species in front of me. When I was a Goblin, I raided a weary Goblin Fighter after I lost my weapon. When I was a Goblin Fighter, all I had to do was finish the dying one.

But can we defeat the Goblin King who doesn't know what he's capable of, possibly leading many other Goblin Knights?

“It's possible.”

I whispered and laughed naturally.

Yes, we can. Save me as much as I can.

I'm not the same as I was when I was a Goblin Fighter. I'm somewhat familiar with the skill and the combat experience is quite close to my body.

Moreover, I'm not a Goblin Warrior, I'm a Hobgoblin. You have already deviated from the normal Goblin genealogy. I didn't have to be afraid of the king of the lowest level of evil.

Above all.

I have a snack.

I looked around. It's full of Goblin Warrior corpses. Nothing would interfere with my meal now. As long as I was given the key, they were waiting for me in there.

Considering the progress I've been through, perhaps if I defeated a large number of Warriors, all the Warriors in the dungeon would come at me and overcome it, and monsters with means to reach their bosses would appear. And by taking him down, I am qualified to fight the boss.

The sketchy structure was understood. I thought for a moment about what would have happened if I had missed the night, but I was firmly convinced that it would not have been better.

In the worst case, there may be another massive Goblin Warrior eruption.

‘You don't have to worry about what didn't happen. ’

I pushed my thoughts out of my head and sat down again. I was interrupted earlier and didn't get a proper meal, but now I'm different.

Hundreds of good corpses can expect a change in status after only five. The increase in the width will decrease as you go up, but you will be able to see effects of at least level 10. No, that was my hope.

“I'll eat well. ”

[Goblin Warrior Hunt Predatory 17/200]

[Strength +1.]

[Goblin Warrior Hunt Predatory 23/200]

[HP has increased by 1.]

I became a Hobgoblin and became quite camouflaged, but I'm still full of two Warriors. Of course, I have leap, which is the best fraud skill for lowering my stamina and pulling out my stomach.

“Hehe.”

[Goblin Warrior Hunt Predatory 49/200]

[Beginner's leap has reached Lv7.]

[Magic power has increased by 1.]

The fountain of magical power is dazzled. There's no magic to waste. The car launches the Tribe Heights.

[Goblin Warrior Hunt Predatory 56/200]

[HP has increased by 1.]

[Goblin Night Hunt Snack 1/5]

[Strength has increased by 2.]

[You have mastered Beginner Power Attack.]

The hand that was stretching towards the other prey stopped. You clearly saw the notification that you just learned a new skill.

Power Attack. Heavy. You can't be serious. I was urgently reviewing skill information.

[Beginner Power Attack Lv1]

[Stuff Mana into his weapon to unleash momentarily powerful power. Stamina is also consumed. Increases the chance of critical hits and injuries, but you won't be able to move for a while after using it.]

I opened my eyes. There was no doubt. This is exactly what Goblin Warriors and Goblin Knights used! You finally acquired a skill related to melee attack. Of course, I'm familiar with its disadvantages, so it takes a lot of skill to use it in practice…….

‘But I got stronger. ’

A skill that also consumes Mana along with health. In other words, in order to practice this, you need to eat.

However, we can't stop using Leap and Heights, so we decided to use these three skills evenly when we recover from prey.

I've tried the Power Attack a few times in place, gained a sense of some of my skills, and then started the feast again. Since I was able to drain both my stomach and Mana's springs faster, I was able to eat faster naturally.

[Goblin Warrior Hunt Predatory 78/200]

[Beginner Heilang is Lv6.]

[Strength +1.]

[Goblin Warrior Hunt Predatory 134/200]

[HP has increased by 1.]

[Beginner Power Attack is now Lv2.]

The Goblin Warrior tasted like boiled chicken breast after giving away about 50 bouquets... Of course, there's no need to choke because you're covered in blood.

The taste that should be the worst still tastes pretty good, thanks to all of your predatory skills.

[Goblin Warrior Hunt Predatory 200/200]

[Beginner's leap has reached Lv8.]

[Strength +1.]

[Magic power has increased by 1.]

[Beginner Heilang is Lv7.]

[Beginner Cane becomes Lv10 and becomes Lesser Cane. The number of objects that can be placed under the command increases. You will be given some calibration to control objects that are higher level than you.]

Again, the gearbox has grown lower. Third after sword and detection, I have never used a skill.

“What the hell. ”

I imagined myself leading a Goblin Warrior. I'm sure the battle will be easier going forward. But it was impossible. Not only for the Warriors, but also for fighters and ordinary Goblins.

Still, the cylinder continues to grow.

As if I already have a subordinate.

“No way. ”

How good would that be? But reality is cruel. I alone have overcome countless death threats. My subordinates do not hide in my head, in my belly or in the shadows. To be honest, I was expecting a little, but I never got my expectations back.

As I sighed and tried to reach out to a new corpse, I realized by looking at my hands that stopped in the air. There are no more bodies around. I ate all those dead Warriors. There must have been more than 300.

Of course, the quest was defeated. Hunt and eat 476 Goblin Fighters, 4 Goblin Knights, and 1 more Goblin King, and I will meet new possibilities.

[Fade]

[Hobgoblin Lv 32]

[Strength – 136 HP – 135 MP – 49 Luck]

[Skill – Dark Heart, Predatory Lv2, Lesser Slash Lv5, Beginner Spear Lv4, Beginner Bust Lv3, Beginner Archery Lv1, Beginner Armor Defense Lv6, Beginner Physique Lv4, Beginner Thrower Lv8, Beginner Power Attack Lv3, Beginner Height Lv7, Beginner Leap Lv8, Lesser Detection Lv3, Beginner Sneak Attack Lv4, Lesser Tone Lv1, Beginner Trouble Resistance Lv9]

Status' change was less than I expected. 20 for Strength and Stamina and 10 for Magic Power. It was a 7-level bonus, but I was expecting 10 or higher.

The more you eat, the more corpses you need to raise a stat. At the end, the stats had to be increased by 20.

However, I was pleased with the growth of the skill. As the percentage of Warriors handling swords was high, the lower swords reached level 5, and I was left with no spear, sword, or even archery. All abilities can be rewarded once you have them. There was nothing bad about it.

As a result, the Leap, Lightning and Power Attacks were used continuously to empty out health and magical power, making them beginner level 8, 7, and 3 levels respectively. Throwing and sensing also grew a lot because most Warriors had skills, and so did armor defense.

The Warrior's corpse has been eaten. Growth was also self-evident. I naturally moved on to the next task.

476 Goblin Fighters are left to finish hunting and eating.
