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 wasnt 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 Ds 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 Beginners 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, its 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 its 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 didnt have the chance to pull out the watch and look at the time.

You! Youre 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, hell 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 hes going to shoot out Lower-level magic, but he has only shown Beginner-level flame balls so far.

Krew!

I hit a Warriors 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 cant drop them with black lightning.

As soon as I appear to be casting my ability, the Kings 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 Beginners 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 Beginners magic that I received couldnt even burn through my armor. It did felt terribly hot for a moment, though.

Whats more, if I continue killing goblins, my armor will restore its durability.

Kyap!

Kirut!

Since then, I tried using Leap from time to time. Even though I tried hard to get close to him, the Goblin King completely eluded me.

New Fighters and Warriors constantly appeared and stopped me. I used them all as prey, and I used Leap every time my physical strength and magic allowed.

Stop!

Key!

With Leap, I was able to throw Black Lightning against the Goblin King. But the price was terrible. I take flame ball hits in the air, and Goblin Warriors rush at me immediately after landing.

This time, the fireball of the angry Goblin King flew three by three, and he didnt care even when he burned the flesh of his own Warriors.

My armor was greatly heated, and the heat feels like its cooking my flesh within the armor.

Kaaaaaaaah!

I screamed and stretched my hand around and randomly ate everything. I feel my flesh burning, but at the same time, infinite blood spurting from all around me was accelerating the healing of the wound.

Even if this is repeated infinitely, I will not die. However, I had to deal with the pain. There was nothing I could do.

It is necessary. I need to be seen constantly repeating Leap carelessly, for the Goblin King to mistake it as an opportunity to shoot a Lower-level flame ball.

Suddenly, Leaps level increased!

[Beginner leap becomes Lv10 and evolves into a Lower Leap. The height and distance that can be leaped at a time increase considerably. You can increase the efficiency of Leap by consuming mana.]

Heaven did not forsake me! I didnt expect it! Jumpable distance and height increased just when I needed it!

Now its done. You can reach him.

However, this is not enough. I have to show weakness. I need to create conditions for the Goblin King to use his full power.

Then, seize the momentary opportunity.

Kyaaaah! I screamed as I continued to kill the Warriors around me.

[You gained 380 experience.]

[You acquired 70 bronze.]

[You gained 40 experience.]

[You acquired 10 bronze.]

Kirik! A persistent person!

Once again, I jumped and sprayed black lightning everywhere. The Goblin King was hit once more, and he screamed in pain and fury, raising his jeweled sword.

This time, it shone with an unusual light, and some Goblin Fighters evolved into Goblin Knights!

Damn it!

I became alert. As it has been so far, Knights cannot be ignored as a mob. Immediately, I killed a Goblin Warrior and rushed with him as a shield.

I rushed as hard as I could and knocked out the nearest Knight. Shortly thereafter, the Goblin Kings fireball once again poured over my head.

In time with him, the two Knights came down with me with a large sword. Both swords were flashing with the power of skill!

Shhh!

I rolled to the left to avoid one, but one fell on my back and smashed my armor. It reached my back! I screamed in pain, but rushed straight at the Knight and cut off his neck.

That time, the movements of the Goblins around me were like wolves who found their preys weakness.

[You gained 1,600 experience.]

[You acquired 1 silver 60 bronze.]

[You have acquired the Beginner Regeneration Skill. Wounds heal at a very slow rate.]

As I ate the whole Knights face, I noticed the Goblin Kings movement began to change.

He was slowly coming down from the chair. Perhaps his plans changed because he saw I was hurt.

Kyiii, Im going to finish this! He said.

It seems that hes using up more mana in summoning Knights. The frequency of the flame balls has been gradually decreasing. It means that he started to save his mana.

If I rush at him, he will shoot a more intense flame then I ever had.

He would think that hes pulling me into the trap, but its actually what I have been waiting for.

Biting the Knights body, rushing like a maniac, wildly wielding the sword I came at him.

The Goblin King smiled puffed up and pointed at me with a jeweled sword.

The bodies of the goblins near me exploded.

Only

What?! I rolled the floor, shocked. That was totally unexpected.

Whats more, a Knight just outside the scope of explosion jumped as if he was waiting for me to roll, and struck me with his heavy sword.

Ugh-oh-uh!

My vision was shaking, and my ears were ringing, so I bounced off the floor using Leap skill with the intention of avoiding any further attacks.

Key!

Gasping for breath, leaving my Blood Colossal Sword where I jumped from I found the Goblin Kings gaze chasing me up the air.

The way he looked at me was like how a snake would look at a frog.

In his hands bloomed a powerful flame, and the joy in his eyes seemed to foretell my destruction!
