Chapter 16 - Mass Appearance (2) (1/2)

Mass Appearance (2)

I felt an ominous feeling as I watched them approach.

I stood next to the entrance of the aisle. The moment they reached the aisle, they raised their swords with intensity.

“Hah-ah-ap!”

“Great!”

I stuck my sword, and it put a hole on the neck of the first Goblin Warrior. I bumped into his body, using it as a shield, while a second Goblin Warrior attacked. Since my body was covered by the first Goblin Warrior’s body, the second Goblin Warrior’s sword hit its companion’s head instead. I whipped my sword to finish the first Goblin Warrior off.

[You received 960 experience.]

[You acquired 80 bronze.]

[Beginner Surprise has become Lv4.]

I pushed the corpse to the second Goblin Warrior’s body, but he was able to avoid it. I reached out and fired black lightning at him.

The black lightning hit his weapon and flowed to shock his body. The moment he closed his eyes, I rushed.

He swung his sword and hit my shoulder.

“Okay!”

“Kiririk!”

Damn!

Thanks to reading the sword’s trajectory, I was able to avoid getting hit on the head. However, I am in terrible pain due to my injured shoulder.

He tried to injure me by wielding the sword again, but as he did, I leaned back and attacked his chin. Even in pain, my movement did not seem to be affected at all.

“Kreew!”

“Stop!”

Bastard, who pierced his face with his chin, popped out of his head. His sword almost reached my neck before it dropped lifelessly. I was finally able to relax.

[You received 1,080 experience.]

[You acquired 1 silver.]

[Level up!]

[You have acquired the Beginner Armor Defense skill.]

[Beginner Armor Defense Lv1.]

[Use armor to defend against enemy attacks. As the skill level increases, the damage taken from enemies decreases and can be effectively defended. If you hit a lot, your skill will grow.]

I got the level-up that I had been waiting for, and even a skill I never expected.

But rather than that, I was reflecting on myself who had just been faked by a Goblin Warrior.

‘Damn, Black Lightning is definitely a powerful skill, but it’s still beginner-level. There is no guarantee that the Goblin Warrior will be shocked or cursed. It is suicide to believe in only the black lightning!’

I need to focus instead on sharpening your sword and movements, getting less attack from enemies, and relying on my own defenses, such as the armor defense I just got.

Relying totally on black lightning can lead to a fatal mistake, just like the one moments ago.

‘Okay, I’m done thinking about it.’

Now, it’s time to figure out how to deal with the five Goblin Warriors that are approaching in a straight line from the path beyond.

Damn it.

Of course, I expected to some extent that I would battle with more of them. But I didn’t know it would be so fast.

There will be some sort of rule. I wish I could figure it out later, but I don’t have a chance now.

‘Five.’

It was difficult if it was before I got the armor. But now it is different. My attack power is strong, and my defense is now strong enough to continue moving even after getting hit.

It was not arrogance but confidence.

‘Of course, I should still be careful.’

I concentrated on the five foes running through the aisle, and in a very short moment, I figured out how I would move to get the least amount of damage.

One of them rushed forward alone, but fortunately, it was just what I expected.

I put my Colossal Sword straight into the embarrassed Warrior’s neck. I couldn’t take the time to hold on to one guy; my attacks had to be as efficient as possible.

“Kaaaaaaaah!”

[You received 1,014 experience.]

[You acquired 83 bronze.]

I pulled out the sword and rolled back.

There was a Warrior who used an ax. The thick blade was quite slow, but if it wielded properly, it would have a stronger impact compared to a sword.

In an instant, I found myself automatically shooting a black lightning bolt at them.

Black Lightning is a technique that attacks all enemies in close range. Because they were surrounding me, the four were hit by black lightning all at once.

Two of them got paralyzed after being shocked by the bolt. They fell down with a thud. Sadly, it wasn’t as effective to the two others, but at least I had two enemies down temporarily in one shot.

“Oh, ah!

“Kee-i-yi!”

I faced the Goblin Warrior with the ax and a Goblin Warrior with a sword!

I hit the ax first.

It sent the ax flying through the air! The one with the sword seems to be waiting for me to avoid the falling ax before making his move.
