Chapter 24 - Goblin King (3) (1/2)

Goblin King (3)

I felt a strong shock on my arm as Knight D jumped in and blocked my sword with his body. I was forced to take a step back as I pulled it out of him.

[You gained 1,690 experience.]

[You acquired 80 silver bronze.]

“Kyap! You slime!”

I was surprised. The Goblin King also knew how to speak. It wasn’t Korean, but I understood him.

Of course, it is not that important now.

The Knight C shot another bolt. I expected it from the beginning, and I used Knight D’s body as a shield. It pierced through the body.

The next moment, I was running towards Knight C.

“Key!”

It seemed like he was trying to reload a bolt, but the reloading of the crossbow took time.

Time enough for me to cut him down.

Realizing this, he quickly gave it up and threw the crossbow down. He pulled out a sword and swung it towards me.

I rushed in, avoiding the sword of Knight C without difficulty. He had Beginner’s Swordsmanship, but mine was at a Lower level.

He was no match. I cut off his neck without difficulty.

[You gained 1,750 experience.]

[You acquired 80 silver bronze.]

“Fireball,” I heard a raspy voice.

I turned. The Goblin King was staring at me, with two fireballs floating in the air beside him.

“Now, it’s just the two of us…” I said, staring back at his bleak eyes.

“Kyap!”

It seemed like the Goblin King laughed at my words. Then, he threw a fireball at me.

I am relieved because it’s speed was not as fast as I worried about, and I spun to avoid it without difficulty.

When I turned around, the Goblin King was holding a jeweled sword up. The sword shone as he waved it around.

Immediately, Goblin Fighters and Goblin Warriors sprang up everywhere.

“You must be a fool. Just the two of us?” The Goblin King laughed with wicked laughter.

Goblin fighters and warriors all turned in my direction, aiming their weapons.

“Damn it,” I spit out. Over a hundred goblins were rushing towards me.

It was the start of the struggle.

After this battle, there is something I really want to say to Rain.

Damn it! Rain, turn it the pocket watch into a wristwatch!

I had no time to check the pocket watch while fighting. Both hands were full. Swinging the bastard, clutching a corpse, shooting black lightning, tearing a corpse apart – I didn’t have the chance to pull out the watch and look at the time.

“You…! You’re persistent!” The Goblin King screamed.

He was making sure that he is safe throughout the battle. He surrounded himself with Fighters and Warriors that continued to attack me, and if I appear to be exhausted or if I appear to be using skills, he’ll shoot a flame ball straight away.

The Goblin King was very prudent. I should not underestimate his skill. The flames he had brought out so far are all Beginner level skills. I sometimes pretended to be moderately exhausted to see if he’s going to shoot out Lower-level magic, but he has only shown Beginner-level flame balls so far.

“Krew!”

I hit a Warrior’s neck and bit his body. Fighters and Warriors rushed to me with red eyes. Whenever the sword in the hand of the Goblin King flashed, their numbers increased.

That sword… as long as that sword is in his hand, he can make monsters freely.

That was the conclusion I had after facing hundreds of monsters. But approaching him was never easy. He is surrounded by Warriors, and I can’t drop them with black lightning.

As soon as I appear to be casting my ability, the King’s flame balls come flying.

Then how do I do it?

If my magic power returns to its original state after three hours, then there will be no real odds in defeating the boss. I have to keep watching out for opportunities to shoot my enhanced black lightning.

If I can somehow get close to him and give him a sense of crisis, he may be induced to shoot a Lower flame spell.

I shook my sword and cut down all the goblins around me. Now, my strength has reached a level that cannot be stopped by a Fighter or a Warrior.

I jumped. I was able to jump quite high and quite far with the power of Leap, which has reached the Beginner’s Lv 9. The Goblin King looked surprised. I shot a bolt of black lightning at him.

“Key! You want to die!”

The range of Leap and Black Lightning was not infinite, though.

The Goblin King laughed as he realized this, and fired two fireballs. The flame hit me, and I fell down a group of Warriors.

However, I was able to hit the King with black lightning.

“Okay!” I yelled.

He suffered a lot of pain, while the Beginner’s magic that I received couldn’t even burn through my armor. It did felt terribly hot for a moment, though.

What’s more, if I continue killing goblins, my armor will restore its durability.

“Kyap!”
