Chapter 3 (1/2)
Chapter 3 – I'm a Hero!? (3)
”The human body is weak”
Artpe had a new revelationThe price of this new revelation was a scrape on his knee
”Artpe was always bad at runningEh-I knew you were running too hard”
The priest was probably back after contacting the palaceThe priest would immediately try to find them, so they had to be far away as possibleHowever, Artpe couldn't run properly, since he suffered an injuryThis hy Maetel was helping hi down the heroIf he was still one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he would have considered his own actions to be a meritorious deed!
”This isn't the time to…”
”Artpe?”
Artpe had extended threads of Mana from his body, and his face cruh the threadsThere were beings born fro of evil nearbyBasically, monsters were nearby
There were three of the in a forest near huilantAs expected of ion, they were naturally occurring level 3 goblinsThese were monsters that always showed up in stories that had heroes, knights or icians as main charactersThe main characters always defeat these monsters in the most miserable way possible for the monstersThey were the monsters of misfortune, who bowed out early from the story
Of course, even if the goblins were very weak, Artpe and Maetel had just left their townThey were er than theh the normal route, they would have faced slimes or creatures weaker than squirrelsThey could have raised their levels by hunting theoblins!
'Fortunately, I dispersed my threads of ManaOf course, it would have been better if I possessed Search or Barrier type ic!'
Level was everything in this worldIf one had low level, one was low on ManaThere were restrictions placed on Skills and Spells, because one's soul was of low qualityOne could attack an ene Tackle skill, which was sharper than an attack with a knife, yet one would have a hard ti a critical hitOn top of that, one wouldn’t be able to equip oneself with good equipments!
”MaetelYou should stop helping me, and…”
”Huh? I can feel a strange energy”
Artpe had been about to warn Maetel, but she mumbled to herself before he couldHer pretty face frowned
Artpe could see Maetel's ability change in real time
[Maetel]
[Level 1]
[Detection Lv1]
”I can feel it s co towards us”
”······ah, yesI was about to tell you the sa ”
Of course, there were also geniuses, who learned high quality Skills, irrespective of their levelsThis hat had happened to the blonde haired girl in front of hienius!
He let out a string of curses in a low voice, and he decided to look at this in a positive light His only ally was a genius
”They are goblinsThey are all level 3If it’s a one on one battle, it htHowever, there are three of them”
”Don’t worryI'll protect Artpe”
Her words were very heroic!
However, she earing shabby clothesIt probably had a Defense of 0It ative defense by the look of itShe had no other equipirl spoke such words, while she clenched her dirty hands into a fistIt amplified the worry he felt
”Still, you can’t fight them with empty handsIt is unreasonable, so please be patient”
”Yes”
Artpe let go of Maetel's helping handsHe liHe could see the co in through his eyesHe concentrated his efforts in finding the most sharp or hard item he could findFortunately, his efforts were immediately rewarded
”HooThis should be fine”
[Burning Branch]
[A trace a Mana has hardened the fibers and bark of the branchIt has the potential to be used as a burning weaponIt'll break after several swings]
Sometimes there were artifacts that were naturally forainly coh to be used as a stopgap weaponHe put the item into Maetel's hands as he spoke
”Two is couard that side”
”Huh?This branch feels a bit strangeI can feel a hot, yet co from it”
”What?”
Artpe observed Maetel Sure enough, he saw the newly updated information
[Maetel]
[Level – 1]
[Mana Sensitivity Lv1]
”…yesI see”
”I don't knohat just happened, but was it soood?”
”Of courseThis is the attainment of a warrior”
This wasn't soainThis was the attainh rank warrior!Artpe didn't kno many skills she could awaken by herselfHe decided not to be surprised from now onHe picked up an ordinary rock, and he turned around
His knee was aching, but he ignored the painHe focused on iht noas to manipulate his Mana
Mana was basically pure energyWhen he imbued his Mana into this very plain rock, it would become a useful weapon that he could throw once
Fortunately, Artpe had a ridiculous a he was level 1…There was so much that he wondered if his status as a hero had a causal effectHe had put in enough Mana to fill the rock, yet he still had plenty left
The rock was filled with htIf he left it be, the Mana would slowly bleed outHowever, if he threw it, it would cause a weak explosionIt was enough to kill a level 3 goblin
”Artpe?”
”I told you there were three, right?Don't worry about the one co towards us fro from the front”
”You even knohere the !”
”Look towards the front”
”Yes!”
If one of the bastards had a long distance weapon, they would have to run awayHowever, this was a forest in the boondocksThis was a novice zone where goblins weren't allowed to hold any advanced weapons
As expected, it didn't take too long for a laughing goblin to push through the brushThe goblins weren't equipped better than the clubs
[Goo-heh-hehYou guys look tasty!Guehk!]
”Die!”
There was no way he would allow a level 3 soblin assigned to Artpe cae, he quickly threw the rockThe rock flew true, and the goblin's head explodedThe goblin fell over backwardsIt was a one shot kill
[Kee…kee-eek!?]
[Weak humans!?]
”Hyahhhhhp!”
When their coe of the aoblins were taken aback!At that edUnlike her title as a hero, she had used a cowardly tactic by waiting for an opening!
”I feel as if everything ork out if I swing this!”
”Countlessga their instincts!”
