14 Leo The Hero! (1/2)

”Ki! Ki! Ki!” finally finding Leo within many hours later, a patrol of ten goblins started to screech out to try to alert all of the other patrols within the nearby areas of the mountain.

Unfortunately for the goblins, their screeching actually woke Leo up. Now completely refreshed, he was ready for a battle to the death.

Leo placed all of his unused attribute points into his strength attribute and actually saw his muscles expand and become much more chiseled.

Coupled with his weapon that gave him an additional boost in strength, Leo now felt confident enough to try his luck against so many goblins.

By the time Leo finally finished preparing, two more patrols of goblins arrived in the area and closed off any escape paths for Leo.

This would have frightened Leo if he hadn't just forcefully increased his strength greatly with his attribute points. Now, Leo felt like he was now he hunter, instead of the prey!

”Ki ki!” over thirty goblins that were surrounding Leo cried out before rushing towards him in a swarm. When facing an enemy such as Leo, that threatened their entire clan's existence, the goblins would swarm the enemy in order to overwhelm them with their numbers.

With a single swift motion of his arm, Leo was able to cut down the first two goblins who were the closest to him with his dagger. However, he did not stop there!

In the next moment, Leo actually pulled out the low ranked sword within his inventory and slashed another goblin's head right off.

Without the slightest hesitation, the remaining goblins continued to charge Leo. They wanted nothing more, than to take Leo's life quickly.

The battle continued on for several minutes, however, despite their overwhelming numbers, Leo actually was the one to hold the advantage!

To Leo, he was not surprised at all. According to the screen's effect, all of the goblins around him were extremely weak and had white above their heads instead of orange. This meant, that Leo was more than capable of taking care of them alone.

After several more minutes, Leo had finally finished cutting down over twenty of the goblins. The goblins that remained were frightened beyond belief and actually chose to make a tactical retreat.

”Phew!” spitting out a mouthful of blood, Leo was feeling relieved. Never in his past life, would he ever be able to take on anyone in a fight. However, at this moment, he was like a god of war who slashed down his enemies with simple strikes.

”I guess this is to be expected since they were so weak?” Leo thought to himself as he looted the corpses of the dead goblins only to find two cards.

Leo felt that due to the low amount of cards he received, that it must have been due to the enemies being so weak. He quickly put the cards away into his inventory screen before making his way further into the mountain range.

”With so many more goblins coming together in bigger groups, that must mean that the ones I failed to kill earlier, must have alerted the rest of them who live in these mountains?” pondered Leo as he rubbed his forehead, trying to prevent himself from getting a headache at such a thought.

After swiftly moving using the shadows to his advantage, Leo found himself surrounded by countless goblins who were all searching for him.

Traveling for so many miles away from the entrance of the mountain path, Leo realized that after he passed a specific group of trees, that no goblins were in the area.

Climbing the biggest tree he could find, he was finally able to get a good look at the area around him.

”This must be where the mountains split into a valley?” pondered Leo as he looked around.

All Leo could see was an endless amount of forest, with a large waterfall area several kilometers away from where he currently was.

In the sky, Leo saw many birds chirping, while in the trees, he saw different smaller monsters jumping around and trying to catch each other. Some looked like gorilla type monsters, while the others resembled insects.

Before he could make his way down the tree, Leo could hear human voices nearby accompanied by roars.

Beep Beep Beep!

-Hero Quest: Save the humans from being eaten by the monster, kill the monster for additional rewards-

”Well, since I am much stronger now thanks to those pellets, it is safe to try to take down a monster. If those humans have their own weapons as well, it would make this quest doable.” thought Leo as he decided to accept the quest.

”No wonder those goblins do not dare to approach this area.”

Making his way over to the small battle between the humans and monster, Leo saw claw marks on some of the trees. Thinking about it, Leo realized that those marks must be the monster of this area's way of warning others about its territory.
