I was now adequately armed with the Goblin Warrior’s Colossal Sword and the Bronze Shield.
[Blood Colossal Sword (81/194) – Attack 94]
[Bronze Shield (300/300) – Defense 80]
When I was a Goblin Fighter, wielding the sword was not a joke. But now that I had evolved into a Hob Goblin, it was possible to use the sword in one hand and hold a shield in the other.
I rushed in one direction, a bastard sword in my left hand and a bronze shield in my right hand. It was laughable watching Goblin Fighters at the front who were wielding rusty swords.
“Ki-ang!”

[You acquired 10 bronze.]
The Goblin Fighter lashed his sword with all the strength he could muster. Watching him, I thought he was much like me when I first met a Goblin Warrior.
With the abilities that I had now acquired, I was confident that even if my opponent were a Goblin Warrior, I would not suffer defeat.

I wielded and swung my sword, and each time, one or two, Goblin Fighters died. The Goblin Warrior’s rusty black bronze shield couldn’t be penetrated.
However, it bothered me that the Goblin Fighters were coming in from all sides. This was my first time fighting against enemies coming from both the front and the back. I used the Detection Skill to track all enemies around me and struck them before they got too close to me.

As the battle ensued, gradually, a mountain of corpses built up around me. I thought the inventory would increase once again because I had evolved, but even so, it was impossible to insert the bodies of a large number of Goblin Fighters.
It was getting harder for me to move because my space slowly became smaller as I continued dropping more Goblin Fighter bodies on the ground. But even still, the number of Goblin Fighters that were rushing towards me just kept increasing.

“Crack!”
Just when it seemed that I was going to be beaten by a group of Goblin Fighters, an enemy suddenly propelled away when it hit the edge of my sword. At that moment, a group of Goblin Fighters near the tip of my sword trembled. I realized why. It was Black lightning! I was able to pull it out with the tip of the sword!
This was an excellent opportunity to slay the opponents. Recognizing that my Mana was still over 70%, I stretched out the sword once more and issued a black lightning bolt. This time, the black lighting strike was visible. Shortly after that, the Goblin Fighters that had gathered together were electrocuted and solidified in place.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Not missing the chance, I kicked the floor and ran forward, swinging the sword over the side. Twenty or more Goblin Fighters got electrocuted. The upper and lower parts of their waists burnt all at once, and their bodies fell to the floor.
I ran over their bodies and rushed with a shield towards the Goblin Fighters, who appeared behind them.
“Oh, ah, ah!”
As the battle lines collapsed and the siege chain became weak, the Goblin Fighters were unable to resist and fell.
I pulled the sword out of the shield and sliced the Goblin Fighters in range.
[Level up!]
All the wounds I suffered during the short battle disappeared. Only my level increased, but I felt that my arm strength had grown as well.
I cheered and wielded my sword. The screams of the Goblin Fighters reverberated in the entire cave.
‘Wait.’
It was at that moment that an ominous thought crossed my mind. With the Goblin Fighters’ screams, won’t more come out?
My assumptions were always accurate and damn! A Goblin Warrior appeared at the opposite end of the corridor where I was fighting!
He was carrying a wooden shield, not a bronze shield, and he had leather armor equipped. The weapon seemed a little lighter than my sword, but the blade looked just as sharp.
