Chapter 110: Goblin Hunting - III (2/2)

Merlin hid within the forest, although he was still technically unseen for now, heup a tree He perched hi his presence, he had his blades drawn and he could feel his heart beating

A large group of goblins closed in on the position where he had thrown his spear, and once they entered the forest, they quickly split up into groups of three or four Several groups walked near Merlin, and even directly under hioblin as slowly inching his way towards hi one-handed sword and a round shi+eld that coveredthe mixed hide aroblin to deal with, so while he had the element of surprise, he wanted to take it down first

"Heavy strike" Merlin quietly chanted under his breath, and he received the activation notification which disappeared a few seconds after

「Skill ⟪Heavy Strike⟫ Activated, your next attack will do an extra 30 daer effect」

Merlin held his breath as the goblin walked underneath him, and once he believed it to be the most opportune tied his daggers into the goblin's neck

As the goblin's body went liht flew out of its body and hovered in the air, it was a oblin fall, and they all turned around and noticed Merlin, so he didn't have oblin soul, he reflexively reached out and grabbed the light, causing a notification to appear before him

「You have no empty soul slots, would you like to store the soul in your inventory?」

Merlin responded with "yes", which caused the soul to vanish

「"Race Soul: Goblin (Level 1)" has been stored in your inventory」

With that out of the way, Merlin quickly ducked under an incooblin he just killed He quickly raised the shi+eld, which blocked an incooblins didn't have hiap in their attempt at an encirclement which he made a dash for

Two more arrows flew at him, which were easily blocked by the shi+eld, but it seeed at one of the archers that was shooting arrows at him, after two oblins were closing in on his position, and several spears were getting ready to be thrown Merlin quickly disposed of one of the archers, but the other had shot an arrow at hioblin's corpse in the way of the arrow before dashi+ng behind a tree

Three spears were thrown in his path, one barely roups started running over due to the noise the goblins werehe was probably in trouble, he quickly assessed his surroundings while dodging another arrow There were three goblins without a weapon near him, the ones who had just thrown their spears There was the archer as surprisingly accurate with a bow, and next to hi up behind hiroup, fortunately no shi+eld but there were two spear wielders and another archer

Merlin sheathed his daggers before grabbing one of the spears on the ground He dashed towards the three unar yet another arrow aioblins quickly scattered as Merlin approached and began scrounging around for a weapon Merlin's focus snapped to the sielder instead, who stepped in front of the archer Even a dih sense to realise that the archers were giving Merlin the oblin, the archer wasn't his target Merlin threw the spear at the goblin's chest and unsheathed his daggers as he approached The archer goblin stepped out frooblin with its bow loaded, but Merlin threw one of his daggers at it before sidestepping a vertical slash frooblin's bowstring, rendering it useless, and barely punctured its chest It didn't do h of a distraction for Merlin to execute the sword goblin Merlin lunged at the archer, killing it before retrieving his other dagger

Merlin cast cleanse on hioblins, two of which had a weapon while the other was still searching

Beads of sere pouring off Merlin's forehead, and he was beginning to pant quite heavily Even if he wason If he continued at this pace, eventually his body would slon and he'd be at risk of dying
