After Faye and Hannah massacred the remaining monsters, we started leaving until we heard the loud sound of a scream./CREEEEK/‘It is pretty close, yet I didn’t even sense it. What is this?’Being a ranger, I trust my senses. However, I couldn’t even sense the presence of the source of the sound.“There is a goblin settlement close to this place. This voice is nothing but an illusion to intimidate monsters coming closer.”“A Goblin Shaman?”“Yes, there should be. Since only they are capable of using magic.”However, using the experience she had, Anya explained to us the source of the voice.‘I see. If that was illusion magic, then it makes sense why I was not able to feel the pressure since there wasn’t even something strong in the first place.’“Anyway, for the time being, we should check everything around, although I am pretty sure to enter the second stage of the dungeon, we need to first pass the goblin settlement.”Saying that we kept wandering.Of course, while standing, I was
‘This is the place.’Seeing the place I had determined beforehand, this time, without using a materialization, I knocked an explosive arrow, albeit this one was pretty high quality./INHALE/Slowly inhaling my breath, I grabbed the string./SWOOSH/Aiming to the place where the wolves used as mounts are gathered, I fired the arrow./BOOM/The moment the arrow I knocked to the Arcum Lunae hit the target, the goblins started screaming.However, of course, that was not enough to draw the attention of the goblins to me.“CREEK!” “CREEK!” “CREEK!”Since I have basically blasted their stables, most of their mounts were already injured.‘Metavision!’Immediately activating my skill, I started materializing arrows into my bow.“Now, it is time to show my skills.”With my increased eyesight, damage, and decreased mana consumption, I was already strengthened./SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/Just like that, I started firing arrows rapidly at the settlement without moving an inch from my posi
“But, how did you know the weakness was the necklace.”“Well, different from the other Goblin Warriors, the one I attacked was not swinging its sword but more like chanting something, while whenever you attacked it, different from normal, he tried to protect the necklace, not its neck. From that, I deduced.”Immediately making up an excuse in a jiffy, I said.“I see. I never thought the Goblin Shaman was in between them, though.”“Well, Goblin Warriors were stronger than normal, so it must be buffing others. But I thought he was doing it from afar.”“Anyway, let’s proceed with the next stage. We will rest after passing the barrier and looting the basement.”Explaining this to the members of the party, we finished the first part of the raid, marking the end.Walking with the others, we reached the center of the goblin basement.A weird-looking statue of a tree spirit holding an orb.“This is the core of the first barrier.”Saying this, Anya immediately struck the arm of the statue, sev
After I followed my attack with another strike to its supposed throat piercing it, the thing that flowed through its place was not blood but sand.‘What?’I was surprised. Looking at the monster lying on the ground.A humanoid body, but with the head of a bird and empty black eyes not showing any signs of living.‘Ah, now that I think about it, there were these types of enemies.’/SCREECH/ /SWOOSH/Seeing another scream coming from the sides, I turned my head towards Aleena.“Aleena, can you use {Holy Enhancement} right now?”Asking that, I grabbed the sword./CLANK/And blocked the strike of another monster coming.“What? I can use {Holy Enhancement}, but I need to concentrate for a second.”/STAB/ /PIERCE/“It is fine. I will protect you.”Stabbing the monster in front of me, I said.‘Sylvans, they were a group of monsters created by the Putrid Erdtree Spirit. The catch is that they will be revived again, if not killed by weapons with {Holy Enhancement}.’Trying to look at the futur
Looking at the scene before me, I heard the system’s voice in my head.Albeit I was slightly dumbfounded by the scene, it was still manageable until a lot of information started pouring down into my head….“Urghk-““Darius!”/THUD/Although I was familiar with this sensation, not resting for a long time and exerting myself, coupled with the headache coming from, was enough to make me lose consciousness.The last thing I saw was startled Aleena running towards me.***Waking up, the first thing that welcomed me was a convulsing black ceiling.‘Ah, my head hurts.’“Darius, are you awake?”“Hannah.”‘Hmm, it seems we are in the car.’I thought, looking around.“You suddenly collapsed like that. We thought something had happened. Are you okay now?”“Yeah. I used a little bit too much mana than normal; it is probably because of that.”“Yes, you did. Your legs are swollen, as well.”“Well, we all know why that is.”Turning my head to Anya and Hari, I said.“Hahaha,
‘This place is good.’With my talent [Parkour], reaching the top of a building was not that hard.‘I am glad I trained my talent in the last five months.’Thinking that, I took my position, taking Arcum Lunae out, and started waiting for an opportunity to come.‘Hmm, in the game, they were pretty hard to deal with, not because they were strong but because they are very good at slipping away.’‘Two E-ranks, four F-ranks, and two G-ranks.’Since they were the villains of the first questline, they didn’t have a huge amount of strength. But their deal is their expertise at escaping since almost all of them have origins related to criminal organizations, be it thievery, banditry, drug selling, or assassination.‘Hmm, there are five.’Immediately activating my [Metavision], I started observing the five closely.“HE-! Mm……”And there, I saw a woman being suspended by one of the men in the group.The man holding the neck of the woman started choking her, and after a while later, she lost her
Jennie Cortez. Her life was always a mess. Being born as an orphan in a country that has a lot of corruption, she needed to feed herself in the midst of all those vultures trying to take a bite from her. In a place where she hadn’t had anyone to depend on, she always tried her best to survive. To see a better world than she was in. And to do that, she sometimes stole, sometimes killed, sometimes lied, sometimes deceived. However, if there was one thing she never did, it was to sell her body. ‘I would rather kill myself than sell my body.’ She thought while she was young. However, this world was sick, and she learned it too late. The moment a noble put his filthy eyes on her, the purity she tried so hard to protect was already on the way to being lost. At that moment, she thought, is this how it works? We, poor people, are working so hard, and those nobles are just stealing. And they are doing it in daylight with nobody to oppose them. At that moment, she thought, this worl
“You are just like him…. You are beautiful….”“Is that so?”At that moment, I didn’t feel anything at all.I have constantly been monitoring them from a distance. And I knew their leader would come.In the first place, they were not even strong and experienced people. An experienced one would always leave those two on their own or kill them.There are several reasons for that, but two are apparent.First, they had already come to light the moment someone attacked them like this. Which means the guards and detectives will come after them. So, the rest immediately needed to leave the city the moment they got the news that their plan had failed.However, if they decide to save their comrades instead of leaving, then this will happen.The moment they came with the car, I immediately attacked the guy beside the girl piercing his neck.And then, before they got rid of the shock, I sent four arrows to the tires of the car, making them blow out.The rest was obvious. I massacred everyone left
