Demon King

When I saw this notification, I thought, "Few people will be able to meet this condition."

A martial arts skill of lower level 5 or higher, I think it will take less than that long to handle a sword or a spear.

And by devouring fighters, warriors, and knights with swords, I was able to save quite a bit of that time.

But the other conditions are the problem.

It's hard to train a skill with a level of 5 or higher even for beginners. Five of them.

Determining and training shouldn't be that difficult, but you don't have to deliberately leave your confident weapon and deal with other weapons. Therefore, it is usually hard to see unless you use predatory skills like me to steal other monsters' skills.

Of course, this applies to martial arts skills when others do not know them. If many people know about the synthesis of martial arts skills, it shouldn't be that difficult to meet these conditions.

However, even if it is, it is difficult to reach the last condition.

Monsters encountered in this dungeon so far, humans, and their blunt nerves and movements seem to lack any skills such as sensation or leap. Upgrading your skill level is a second chance you haven't learned at all.

Of course, there are many other combat aiding skills that I do not know, but they will also have difficulty learning. I wonder why I was able to quickly acquire and grow leaps and sensing.

It's not the only thing I learned by looking at this notification window.

I have predatory skills, which will increase my number of skills. If so, I may be able to synthesize higher skills, not just martial arts. After all, this is also the strength of your predatory skills.

[Parent Skill is a skill based on a child skill and appears when certain conditions are met. It's hard to level up, but it's powerful at the same level, and it has many benefits.]

[Would you like to synthesize a Lesser Martial Skill? In that case, the lower swordsmanship, the lower spear, the lower spear, the lower archery, the lower casting disappears.]

[Combat aided skills are enhanced by the influence of martial arts skills.]

[Example]

[No]

I was a little conflicted. Lesser martial arts, I'm sure it's a good skill, but my sword is now a lesser level 6. Starting over from the lower level was a fairly painful bleed.

But it's written out loud. It's powerful even at the same level.

Parent. Maybe a martial arts skill is a skill that includes all of the skills in the martial arts industry. A skill that allows you to deal with all weapons and boosts their power. Moreover, it is imperative for me to take a leap and enhance my senses.

While hesitation is obvious, I will eventually become stronger by getting used to it.

I closed my eyes and chose yes.

[Lesser swordsmanship, Throwing, Beginner Spearing, Wrestling, Archery, and Physical Skills have disappeared.]

[Lesser martial skill obtained.]

[Lesser Martial Arts Lv1]

[Can handle all weapons based on skill level. Physiology, projection. Powers up Combat Aid Skills.]

I felt a good feeling of fatigue and deep satisfaction rushing through my body.

It was as I expected. I didn't need to say or explain anything. At this point, I felt like I could handle any weapon in my hand to some degree.

That doesn't mean that he forgot his sense of sword when he was a lower level 6. It would be impossible to achieve the same power, of course, but the skill of handling the sword would not have been greatly diminished.

Moreover, if I'm right, this skill will increase your skills, whether you eat monsters that handle swords or eat monsters that handle spears. The disadvantage that it is not easy to grow can be overwhelming with prey.

“Good.”

It was a good thing to synthesize martial arts. Stronger. Better chance of survival. I was so happy about that.

[Goblin Night Hunt Predatory 5/5]

[Quest Completed!]

[You got 200,000 XP!]

[You got 10 Gold!]

[You've increased your level a lot!]

[You got 3 Lesser Health Potions.]

[You got 3 Iron Javelins.]

And then the moment I was looking forward to came.

[Evolutionary.]

[Please select the species to evolve.]

[1. Hopgoblin Fighter]

[2. Hobgoblin Meiji]

[3. Hobgoblin Warrior]

[4. Hobgoblin Commander]

[5. Hobgoblin Athelter]

Now I think I know a little bit about the law of evolution.

The first evolution was an evolution from a regular Goblin to a Goblin Fighter, and the second evolution had to be either a higher-developed species in the fighter, or a Hobgoblin that outpaced the Goblins, or both.

And the third evolution, namely, until now, has been able to move from normal Hopgoblins to differentiated superspecies with distinction. I don't know when the fourth evolution will take place, but maybe then we'll have a chance to escape Hobgoblin and become another monster.

‘No, it's okay if it's not the fourth time. Even the fifth, even the sixth. If I can make it to the next level of monsters, I'll take my chances. ’

Unlike the first evolution, which had no choice, and similarly, the second evolution, which was either a superspecies or a Hopgoblin or a choice between the two, there were five options given to make people quite hesitant this time.

Fighter, Meiji. And the Warrior.

These three are easy to interpret. Warriors, and wizards, and fighters. It appears I have both martial arts and magic. The warrior will be the parent species specializing in melee attacks, and the wizard will be the parent species specializing in magical attacks.

Fighters are more aggressive than warriors. If you think about it, the Goblin Knights explained that fighters were the top species of evolution, but Warriors didn't.

That means the Knights must make it through the fighters, but not the Warriors.

If you are skilled, you don't have to go through a fighter to become a warrior. And I proved it. Whether it's a skill, an achievement, or whatever.

If you choose one of these three, you will be a Warrior. Heilang is a very important skill for me, but it always helps me. Not to mention the beginner's fire magic. You must not be mistaken.

But now there are four or five options. It's a hobgoblin commander and an assassin.

[Hobgoblin Commander – A high-ranking species created by the evolution of highly toxic individuals in command of other Hobgoblin subjects.

Goblins are dominated by high-pitched skill and can effectively boost their subordinates' abilities to catch even monsters that are hard to resist. Trolls, intermediate monsters, also avoid Goblin groups led by Hobgoblin commanders.]

[Hobgoblin Athlete – A rare variant of Hobgoblin that is particularly aggressive and possesses a variety of attack-related skills and even magical powers.

A fiercely combat monster that can only be used to kill enemies, even with its unique Hobgoblin intelligence. It is despite its fierce temperament and is quite intimidating to top monsters.

It is not uncommon to find a record that a Hobgoblin Assaulter, who has been sharpening himself for a long time, has hunted intermediate monsters. Strong in combat and magical abilities.]

Fighters, mages, and Warriors still feel pretty good, but commanders. In particular, the Asserter says that it is rare from the notification window.

A commander who captures powerful monsters by his or her own accomplice. An Earlter who risks his life and hunts powerful monsters with his own power. There will definitely be advantages and disadvantages of each of the two parent species. It was clear that it had powers that were nothing compared to fighters and mages.

In my first evolution as a Hopgoblin, I can be sure that I have done very well to come across these two options that lack nothing.

Pride is forbidden, but if you keep trying, you will survive. I'll be able to get stronger faster.

In fact, my choice was the same as it had been made.

‘I still can't use the sole. ’

What to do when you become a commander. A skill that has broken through a lesser than 3 levels, but I can't use it yet. Absolutely useless.

But does this ever change when I become a commander? No way. Opportunity cost was too high to choose a commander with the slightest hope of being able to use the cylinder.

And in fact, emotionally, I was being drawn to the sled.

Above all, I liked that feature. A superior species that specializes in combat among Hopgoblins. A magical object that uses everything in its possession to fight and eventually defeat even the most fierce opponent. I was convinced that this was the way to go.

I also checked the other three pieces of information, including the Warrior, just in case, but they never deviated from my expectations. It completely eliminated my hesitation.

I brazenly chose the fifth item, the Hopgoblin Actuator, to anticipate the coming pain after checking the safety around me as if evolving.

“Shhhhh!”

The whole body was twisted and twisted. The skin was torn, the muscles split, and the blood fountain burst into the air.

It was like my face was being ripped off. A headache, like a dozen stabbing knives in a row, struck me as well.

“Aggggghhh!”

But knowing that it did not lead to death, even the pain was quite bearable to me. Because I know the outcome that awaits me!

[Beginner regeneration is Lv2.]

[Lesser resistance Lv5.]

Yeah, I was wondering why you didn't. Dysfunctional resistance grew at the time of the last evolution, and it was unlikely that the regenerative skills that were growing in the process of injuring and repairing it would not grow in this situation where myriad bones were broken, flesh was crushed and blood was spilling.

[Beginner regeneration is Lv3.]

Regeneration, which was only a beginner level, grew the gear two phases at a time, making it an beginner level 3. It's very exciting, but it means that your skills are now suffering enough pain and pain to grow twice.

“Hehe… hehehe…. ”

While I was turning my eyes away from the pain of reality with these empty thoughts, the pain finally began to subside.

From the heart to the stomach to the brain, and to the parts of each body, blood containing Mana spread to the black pulse and activated the body.

I opened my eyes.

I took off my enlarged armor and looked at myself as I grew up.

His arms and legs were wider. I was completely overwhelmed when I was a human being.

Moreover, unlike before, my skin had turned dark brown. Maybe it was the heart of darkness. Or is it a feature of the Earlter?

He also grew taller. We can only speculate looking down at the ground, but it's over 180. I would have been ashamed to hit the ground before I died. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that I'm a monster now.

[Become a Hobgoblin Earlter.]

[Lesser martial arts is now Lv2.]

[Beginner Flame Magic is now Lv2.]

[Beginner Heights become Lv10 and evolve into Lesser Heights. Increases the Range and Power of Heilang.]

[Beginner Power Attack is Lv7.]

[Beginner Power Arrow is now Lv2.]

[Beginner Raid becomes Lv10 and evolves into Lesser Raid. Hide your moves more skillfully and increase your attack power when you ambush.]

As it evolved, the directionality of the skill upward was very obvious. Surprise after martial arts, magic, and attack skills. The identity of the Hopgoblin Easter reaches out.

However, it was surprising that the lightning bolt, which was a beginner level 9, evolved to a lower level, and the eight-level raid, grew two stages at a time.

Clearly, ambush is a skill that I like very much because it doesn't take away useless power. Nevertheless, the growth of the surprise was slow because if a massive outbreak of Goblin fighters or Warriors occurred, the environment for using the surprise skill would be eliminated.

[Fade]

[Hobgoblin Athlete Lv. 40]

[Strength - 205 HP – 184 MP – 105 Luck]

[Skill – Dark Heart, Predatory Lv3, Lesser Martial Arts Lv2, Beginner Armor Defense Lv8, Beginner Regeneration Lv3, Beginner Flame Magic Lv2, Lesser Lightning Lv1, Beginner Power Attack Lv7, Beginner Power Arrow Lv2, Lesser Tackling Lv2, Lesser Detection Lv7, Lesser Ambush Lv1, Lesser Tongue Lv3, Lesser Stun Resistance Lv5]

Up until now, strength and stamina had remained about the same level. Evolution gave a 40 bonus to strength and 20 bonus to stamina. Magic power, on the other hand, was given a bonus of 40.

A smile came to my mouth when I was studying Status. Not long ago, I thought they were all beginner skills, but now I can see them. It is strengthened again. I couldn't help but be happy.

But it was when I was taking a few leaps in place, extending my pitch, swinging my sword, and testing how strong I had become.

I suddenly remembered the notification window in front of my eyes as if to ask how long I would forget myself.

It reminded me a lot.
