Chapter 33 - Killing With Elegance (2/2)

The time seemed to slow down for the creature as if it was realizing its imminent doom...

The goblin's chest wound got bigger and bigger with each millimeter forward of the spearhead until the spearhead's transition point, which was also considered the broadest and most fatal point of a spearhead, was reached.

*Plush*

Jeremy retracted the spear back with enough force to make it flew back in a straight line gliding its way along his right palm until he went back into holding the spear at its holding shaft once again.

Meanwhile, he lightly jumped sidestep to the left to avoid a collision with the wounded goblin in his front with its current momentum. After avoiding the said goblin successfully, he turned his head to the goblin on his right side, only to see that it was now around four steps away from him, still sprinting at him madly.

At the moment, the remaining goblin, who sprint madly, now opened its right arm widely while holding a long knife, preparing to strike the human in its front without any caring about its partner's well-doing at all.

Upon seeing the sight of the incoming goblin, Jeremy corrected his postures, then timed his attack aligning with his opponent's distance and speed towards him.

*Whoosh*

He horizontally swung the spear in his hand shortly after...

*Chop*

The head of the incoming goblin flew several centimeters above its body before falling onto the ground with a trail and drops of 'green' blood splashing out everywhere.

*Thud*

*Thud*

Afterward, the body of those goblins dropped down to the ground motionlessly.

They couldn't be more dead...

The fight started really fast, but it ended even quicker, with one was pierced through the heart, whereas another was beheaded cleanly with a sharp spear blade.

When Jeremy saw that the goblins were dead, he proceeded to the box behind the goblin corpses like nothing ever happened.

At the same time, the inscription on his right glove started to glow once again. This time, he would be putting the spear into the glove instead of pulling out an item from it.

At this moment, there was also a transparent interface being projected in front of his face stating...

...

[You have received 59 SP]

[You have received 61 SP]

...

When Jeremy reached the box located at the chamber's center, the spear with its spearhead bathing gleefully in green 'liquid' had already disappeared into the glove.

'Let's see, what is inside this box...' Jeremy thought to himself while squatting down to open this somewhat big box.

*Creaks*

When the box was fully opened, something was lying inside the box that was now catching Jeremy's attention. Its length was about 70 cm like the two goblins' weapons; their shape and size were also the same as the swords of those green creatures.

No doubt, the thing inside the box in front of him was actually a sword that looked exactly the same as the two swords lying beside their owner's corpses right now.

Except for that, the short sword within the box looked brand-new with no chip whatsoever, unlike the chipped swords of those green goblins.

Then a transparent window promptly popped up in front of him again...

...

[You have received 29 SP]

...

After seeing his gain this time, he could only shake his head from side to side. Having to kill two goblins and open a box, he only got 149 SP and a useless sword.

Because he didn't use a sword but a spear to fight...

If it was like this, he preferred the first box that he had opened after coming into this place more, for he could effortlessly get 100 SP from that.

Still, his total gain in the past half an hour was not bad at all. He had already opened seven boxes, avoided more than thirteen traps, picked up some valuable herbs along the way; together with killing two goblins this time, he got more than 652 SP as a result.

Then Jeremy picked the short sword up and kept it inside his right glove. After all, some good items could still be sold at a good price to the Survival Crystal.

*Sigh*

'I have walked for more than 30 minutes and could only explore around 10% of this labyrinth. It seems like I may have to spend more than 5 hours if I want to do a full exploration here after all.'

Jeremy sighed and thought about his current circumstances before proceeding into the passageway in the opposite direction of when he came into this chamber.

He walked unhurriedly but elegantly as always...
