Game Of Eternals: Sinner

Chapter 11: Whirlwind

This attack made him sweat as he didn't have any magical defense, and he didn't expect to come across a mage class enemy in this low-class dungeon, but then remembering that it was not an ordinary dungeon, he hurriedly used [Inspect]

[Name: Goblin Shaman

Level 15

Health 2,400/2,400

Mana: 1,200/1,200

Attack: 300~350

Defense: 270~300

Magic Defense: 240~260]

He saw its attributes and knew that the shaman would be a touch opponent, despite it having low health then the one he fought before, if it landed even 2~3 attacks. He would be a goner. Now he looked at the shaman cautiously and kept his eyes on him as he closed the distance between them.

Shaman was not letting it be this easy as it screeched. Neo paused as he felt someone approaching the room. He looked back and saw the boss room open and half a dozen armored goblins coming in.

They charged directly toward Neo, who now, other than Shaman, had to deal with them. He also sped toward them and wanted to finish them as quickly as possible because the shaman was still a bigger threat.

Neo dodged their attacks and one-shot them as the axe moved through their body like a hot knife, the size of an axe, through the butter. The blood splashed and goblins were getting massacred.

Neo at this moment felt danger closing in on him and moved to the left, but wasn't fast enough and the fireball came in contact with him.

Boom*

"Argh!"

Neo grunted in pain as he slid back, crashing directly into the goblin in front of him. He grimaced as he lost a lot of health and got burned literally.

[Hp -340]

"Damn it!" Neo cursed as he stood up and chopped the goblin's head off before turning toward the goblin shaman, who had an ugly grin on its face.

"You---" Neo felt rage building inside him, his eyes flashed as he ran toward the Shaman, but the shaman maintained its distance and again opened its mouth to screech.

Neo now knew that it was calling for reinforcement and wouldn't let him. He threw the axe toward it with full strength in an arc like a boomerang.

The shaman screeched with its head up looking toward the ceiling. It saw something closing in on it from its periphery and turned its gaze toward the incoming axe, but couldn't dodge it because its speed was a little scary. It hit the shaman in the shaman, dragged the shaman with it and blasted it into the wall.

-700

The shaman screeched in pain as it tried to remove the axe that was lodged in its stomach and tried to cast a spell. Just then a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed it from its neck. The goblin was stunned and looked toward the owner of the hand. Neo was standing before him with an angry look on his face, and he blasted the goblin into the wall again.

"Try laughing now."

Bam*

-20

"I said, try laughing now!"

Bam*

Neo became a completely different person as he let go of its neck and started punching the shaman and each of the strikes landed on its chest as -20 damage kept appearing.

He took the sword out of its sheath and inserted it slowly into the goblin's chest. The shaman screamed in pain and tried to cast a spell. It waved its staff around, but the next moment, it felt light. It looked toward it in confusion, mixed with pain, and saw its entire arm missing.

Neo slashed at its arm with the other sword while still piercing its chest with the first one.

-20

-20

-20

-20

The damage kept appearing over its head before the sword pierced its heart. Extensive damage appeared as Neo dragged his sword up, cutting it into two from above its chest.

-1000

The shaman stopped screaming.

Fuuuu*

Neo let out a breath as his anger and adrenaline vanished and he collapsed on the ground, he felt his back still burning because of the fireball. He wanted to hack the goblin into pieces, but stopped, as that was futile now.

He sat down as a bluish energy separated from the goblin and formed itself into a ball before merging with his body.

Neo closed his eyes as he looked at his core, which now had a dozen lines, compared to the thousands of them that fully coated his core. This was good.

The problematic thing was that his mana was now getting filled in 12 different spaces. It was like he suddenly got 12 pockets instead of one and this was not a good thing, as the mana was having problems moving around because of this. Otherwise, who wouldn't prefer more spaces?

He looked at the glow settling down and saw that now the 12 lines had become 6 now.

"So, I need to gather 3 more, or is it 4 more? But where will the last line go then?' He had questions but no answers.

"And I'm getting easily triggered lately. This can be a problem."

Neo put this aside as he looked at the notifications.

『Defeated level 15 Goblin Shaman.』

『 Collecting the soul of the Goblin Shaman.』

『 Collecting...』

『 Collection successful.』

『 Stamina +2, Intelligence+4』

Neo looked at them for a while, then took the sphere from the boss monster before moving toward the door.

"Finally, it's over."

Neo heaved a sigh and felt like he really needed a bath. Constant fighting had made him sweat a lot, plus the blood that was splashed on him made it compulsory.

'I still need to attend the party in the evening. I could do this much for her.'

Still lost in thoughts, he arrived before the door and pushed it outward, but when it opened Neo was stunned.

"How can this be?" He said, his voice broke a little because of what he saw in front of him and a notification appeared before him.

『 Congratulation on clearing the second phase of the Goblin King's Keep.』

『 Reward: Whirlwind』

『 Third phase starting in 2 minutes. Please prepare yourself.』

Neo found himself in a hall and wasn't in the mood to look at the skill as he stood there stunned, his face drained of blood as he looked around. The hall was a massive chamber with stone walls stretching high into the darkness. The ground was covered in dirt and rocks, with patches of moss growing in damp crevices. The ceiling was so high that it was difficult to make out any features in the darkness above.

At one end of the hall, there was a large door made of thick, heavy wood, its surface etched with strange runes and symbols. The door was closed, and there seemed to be no obvious way to open it.

He heard a faint sound and the ground trembled a little as though something or a lot of things were closing in on him.

『 00:00:04』

『 00:00:03』

『 00:00:02』

『 00:00:01』

『 00:00:00』

『 Third against, fight survive against the horde. 』
