Grace flinched when she felt her hand on her shoulder. "You did good."She smiled shakily, as she didn't think she did a good job. It had been messy and had taken forever. They were lucky that none of its goblin friends showed up. That wasn't to say they wouldn't be able to defend themselves, as she was sure that Luke would be able to handle it, but it was obvious to her that being a Healer was the worst class to have, despite what Luke had told her before when he tried to comfort her about it.Luke, on the other hand, wasn't lying when he said she did would be the first time she had killed something in this life. Taking the life of something when she had never even killed livestock before wasn't something that could be taken lightly. It didn't matter that it wasn't human. Goblins still bled the same as humans, and it would only get worse from here when they fought against demons that looked like humans. She deserved to be praised for her efforts.Suddenly, the

Luke flinched as a bright light appeared in front of him. He should have known that would happen. One of the downsides of the plan he had made involving Grace was that he would also be affected by her continual use of Whispersong as long as he used the paths they had traveled on. Well, it was a small price to pay in order to mess with the others.It truly was a convenient item. He couldn't have incorporated it into his plan if it could only emit light in the same room as her. Not only were they not supposed to have items other than those provided by the people in charge of the event, but it would be obvious that she was purposely causing trouble for everyone else.Also, it wasn't going to last long anyway. It took mana to activate, and even with her high Mana stat, she would exhaust herself soon enough if she kept at it. That was why he told her only to do it for at most an hour to leave

Luke's first thought was to launch into battle and kill the giant goblin, but he held himself back. Even though he wanted to rush in to save Grace, this was a delicate situation. Plunging headfirst into battle without thinking could get her killed. The giant goblin was smart enough to use her as a shield, and they had been fortunate that no one had accidentally killed her. For some strange reason, the system hadn't sent her back even though it should have sensed her life was in danger. The system chose now, out of all the times it could have failed to do its job.His eyes scanned the battlefield, surveying the scene. There were currently five others besides Theodore fighting the giant goblin. If he included his party, that would mean that there were ten people in one location. This left twenty-one people unaccounted for. He also had to consider the other goblins that hadn't been killed yet. They could only hope that they

[Emergency Quest][Fight the Enraged Giant Goblin][You have successfully defeated the giant goblin.][Quest Rewards][You may select one of the following Uncommon items and obtain one skill.]Everyone was going over the list of items and skills to see what their options were. A few felt cheated that they were only given Uncommon items to pick from. However, it made sense since everyone should only have Uncommon stats and their enemy hadn't actually been that powerful. They were given items suited to their current level, and the fact they got to choose at all was a big deal.Luke remembered how the system cheated him out of his rewards in previous ques

Luke froze. Did he say the giant goblin ate a stone? A simple stone wouldn't have done anything to the giant goblin. A giant goblin didn't gain abilities by eating rocks like some demons did. It also didn't make sense for it to randomly swallow a stone despite being considered one of the dumber demons. Theodore had to be mistaken about what he saw, but what if he hadn't?What if the giant goblin ate the stone since it knew it wasn't a normal stone? What if it was the item that the emergency quest was referring to that made the giant goblin stronger? Even with its pea brain, it should be able to tell the difference between a regular stone and an item. If that was the case, the question was what kind of stone was it that made the giant goblin stronger and gave it the ability to breathe fire.There was only one stone he could think of on the top of his head that could have made it possible:
