"Perfect" Merlin smiled to himself, it was useless, but he didn't see any proble it Any trulad to use, especially as a solo player Thinking back, Merlin wondered why he didn't think of this when he was far the wild hares, it probably would have been less of a hassle
Merlin sheathed his gladius and instead picked up the goblin's chipped shortsword, it was a tee on the trash mobs, he didn't want his blade to be rendered useless, only to get into a situation where he needs it
As Merlin walked further into the cave, it suddenly expanded into a wider roolanced into the roooblins within Although his light source didn't light up the rest of the roo in the darkness
Although he would have liked approaching the cave oblins who all turned to face hi up in the darkness, all staring directly at him, while their bodies were still soht, even for so battle cry of one of the goblins spurred the rest into charging forward, all six of the in the tunnel Merlin took a few steps back as the goblins continued to converge closer, naturally funnelling in due to the tighter space requireot close to Merlin's position, they had forroup Merlin reached into his pocket and pulled out the oil flask, only to throw the flask at the cave ceiling, just above the goblins The flask shattered, raining down shards of glass upon the group of goblins, while also spraying the group with lantern oil
The goblins recoiled in surprise, this h tiroup Within seconds all the goblins had been set alight, so to pat the fire out, others were rolling on the floor in pain
This wasn't enough to kill the to spread half a litre of lantern oil a the entire flask on a single target
Merlin ran forward and began crushi+ng the goblin's skulls while they were distracted, starting with the ones rolling around on the ground As Merlin finished off the fifth goblin, the fires had co fire was his torch that was laying on the stone floor, flickering weakly

Out of all the goblins he had just killed, only one of thele copper piece Merlin walked over to the torch and picked it back up, the flahtened onceout another oil flask and pocketing it They were extre hoards, it was a shame that they were so expensive
He turned around, travelling back into the wide roo wood echoed within the room, Merlin attempted to take a defensive stance but it was too late, Merlin felt an impact, followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder
Merlin recoiled in pain, quickly glancing around the room he noticed a rock formation that could act as temporary cover Merlin ran for it as he heard yet another creaking sound in the distance Merlin threw hi behind cover as an arro past his face
As Merlin laid there with his back to the rock forlanced over to his shoulder, only to see the shaft of the arrow mere inches from his face Merlin reached over and ripped the arrow out of his shoulder while gritting his teeth, throwing it to the ground beside hioblin didn't use a special arrow, like one laced with poison Although he was pretty sure that there shouldn't be anything of the sort this early in the ga the sole exception
Merlin glanced over his condition while lost in thought The arrow had done nine da him at twenty-one health, and that was just for the shoulder If it had hit hie would have been even
