Before starting, Fatty looked at the name of this Goblin.

He was stunned upon seeing it. This Goblin was actually called Grievous Goblin!

As explained previously, the names of the 5-Star monsters determined their special Stats. Fatty would have known what Stats this Goblin had if it had been called “Fire”, “Quas” or “Vampire” something. However, he had no clue what “Grievous” meant.

His understanding of 5-Star monsters was limited due to his lack of experience in encountering one.

The only thing he could do now was be extra cautious, as he had yet to understand its special Stats.

Lifting his hand, he threw a Miasma attack accurately at the Goblin.

“-9!”

Still okay! Its Magic Armor was not very strong. Fatty was relieved.

“Kalima!” Upon sustaining damage, it turned and saw Fatty’s character. Then, it hollered and charged over at him with bloodshot eyes.

Fatty hastily controlled his character and moved it away. The Venomancer was like the other Ranged Classes, so he needed to put some distance between them. However, he soon realized that the movement speed of the Goblin was slightly faster than his own.

Fatty was wearing Normal Rank shoes, which gave him a +20 in movement speed. The Goblin’s movement speed was most likely between 25 to 30. It would eventually catch up to him at this rate.

Fatty silently counted the seconds as he ran. Miasma now deducted 2 health points/second. If it lasted for 8 seconds, 16 health points would be deducted. Since there was a limit to the amount of mana he had, he needed to make great and careful use of each mana point.

Miasma would use up 5 mana points each time it was executed. Fatty’s 90 mana could allow him to execute 18 Miasma attacks. If each Miasma used caused 25 damage, he could reduce the health points of the Goblin by 450. This amount was quite impressive, for even a 5-Star Goblin would not possess so much health.

Nonetheless, the thing about fighting boss monsters was that one could not rely on calculations to execute a plan. Unexpected incidents might occur in the process and should be taken into consideration for the calculations. For example, the boss monster might self-heal or call for help. Therefore, Fatty had to be prepared for all scenarios.

In combat, the restoration of the player’s health points and mana points was very slow. However, by delaying, one could restore quite a substantial amount, which was Fatty’s plan.

Evidently, this would be a difficult, drawn-out battle.

As expected, the first unexpected situation occurred. When 8 seconds had passed, Fatty stopped running and threw the second Miasma attack at the Goblin. It took away 9 health points, but the toxin effect was not activated!

Fatty was currently at Level 4, so there was a huge difference between him and the 5-Star Goblin. Therefore, the Goblin possessed a certain level of resistance against his Skill Effects.

“Oh shit!” Fatty knew that he was in trouble, for he had been relying on the toxin ability of the Venomancer. Now that this ability could not be activated, the consequences might be quite grave.

When he saw that the Goblin was approaching him fast, he had no choice but to make his character run again.

As he ran, he opened the Stats window and looked at the two free stat points. Gritting his teeth, he used them all on the Luck Stat!

Since the Luck Stat could increase the chances of the effects being activated, such an act might prove to be useful. There was nothing else Fatty could do but bet on it.

The Goblin finally caught up to Fatty, jumped from behind, and slashed down.

Compared to the Common Goblin, the attack speed of the 5-Star Goblin was significantly faster. Fatty could not dodge, so he had to endure the attack.

“-65!”

He lost slightly more than half of his health, which gave him a shock. The 5-Star Goblin’s attack was frightening. It would be Game Over for Fatty if he endured a second attack!

Fortunately, after launching this attack, the Goblin landed on the ground and started running again. There was a slight pause that Fatty made use of to hastily change direction and continue running.
