2 Goblins, its always goblins (2/2)

Opening his eyes to look down at the figure he stabbed. It was a short humanoid with green skin, a goblin.

”I may have overreacted, but in my defense that was my first kill. Also I leveled up from one kill?” Shiro asked surprised that a single kill was all it took to level him up once.

[The requirement for experience will increase the higher the level. System suggests absorbing the club for your weapon] the system suggested as it clarified to it's host

Looking down, there was a worn out club. It had dry patches of blood and splinters sticking out of it. The shinigami touched the club with the tip of his blade as the club turned into white motes of light.

[DING.... 1 experience gained]

”Huh, neat. But kind of disappointing considering it only gave 1 point” the shinigami sighed

[Host's weapon will grow more powerful the higher level it is. Once Hyorinmaru reaches level 30, the 'Shikai' will be unlocked. Reaching level 100 will unlock 'Bankai' and then the weapon will grow with host's level until it fully matures. Please try appraising your weapon by focusing on it] the disembodied voice instructed

Staring at the weapon, the shinigami grew impatient after about 10 seconds until another box opened up in front of him.

Hyorinmaru

Rank: God/Level: 0 (1/20)exp

Type: Soul-bound Growth weapon/Durability: Unbreakable

Attack: 50/STR: +10/AGI: +10

[System would also like to clarify that Host is able to will your weapon and shinigami garb back into your soul] it said as Shiro made his sword pop back in and out of existence

”Sweet, but why my clothes to-” He didn't get to finish as a sharp pain assaulted his left.

”FUCK” Shiro screeched out as he found an arrow lodged into his shoulder.

”ARRRGH” the shinigami grunted loudly as he pulled out the arrow to allow his wound to close itself

[Poison cleansed from 'True Regeneration'. System suggests retreating] it said as Shiro didn't have time to comment on the regen cleansing poison.

”Why would I retreat when it's just a gob...lin...” he finished weakly as he saw around 40 goblins pop out of the trees.

”Okay, running it is then.” Shiro blankly said as he bolted it towards the opposite direction

Ducking beneath branches and jumping over small boulders. Shiro continued to run as he dodged the projectiles consisting of arrows and slinging rocks from his pursuers.

Keeping his eyes forward he nearly tripped when he saw something incredibly stupid to him.

”Why the hell are goblins riding on cats?” he asked as he saw goblins armed with what look to be staffs. The cats they were mounted on looked like a mix between a cat and an anorexic lion.

The shinigami immediately turned right the moment he saw the tips of the staffs begin to light up in flames.

”OF-COURSE THEY CAN USE MAGIC! BECAUSE WHY NOT!?” He yelled out his complaints as he had to worry about more projectiles.

Shiro hissed in pain as a fireball hit him on the back. He could feel the burns healing up due to his regeneration but it still hurt like hell. Moving out towards a clearing, the turquoise-eyed shinigami saw a much larger figure compared to the others.

[It's a hobgoblin] He would have thought it was an ogre if the system didn't inform him.

Bringing out his zanpakuto, the 14 yr old charged at the hobgoblin as it intercepted him. The two clashed as the hobgoblin slammed down a large cleaver at the shinigami, forcing him back. Shiro charged again for a second round but the hobgoblin didn't use the cleaver to meet his blade this time. Instead the large goblin used his full body-weight as it tackled the shinigami's blade with his shoulder. The goblin took a gash on his shoulder, but managed to knock Shiro back flying as he lost grip of his zanpakuto.

The moment Shiro landed on the ground, a large cage dropped ontop of him. Before he realized it he was trapped inside a cage carried by 4 goblins. His zanpakuto was grabbed by another goblin when he lost grip of it.

[Host could recall his zanpakuto to cut the cage open] the system suggested

'I would but... I don't think this would be the time to do that' he thought as he looked around at about a hundred goblins surrounding him

It would probably be better to wait it out
