With the opportunity wide open, he grabbed the hobgoblin club's grip.
At this time, the hobgoblin was flying away from the point-blank shots.
"Nice!"
But among the joy the human shared, a sudden movement interrupted them.
!!
Arceede who just snatched a new weapon was thrown away.
It was a direct hit from the only armored hobgoblin in the party.
"I.. can't detect his movement?"
For a top player like Arceede, his ability to detected the surrounding movement through sounds or what they usually called 'footsteps' has already become a part of their senses.
So, it was almost impossible for him to miss something so close that it could give him a direct hit.
"I still can not appraise his skill. It might be some movement skill."
"Ugh.. for a warrior?"
He was still doubting the probability for the opposing goblin to have a 'ranger-like' movement.
Warrior, or the basic class of the [Fervor] path, has the best durability and melee attack. They had the characteristic of facing the enemy upfront. Stealth skill or sneak movement shouldn't be their main thing.
He had lost a portion of his HP and restored it with potions.
At that time, Avia ran in his direction.
"Throw me the club!"
And, as he had successfully grabbed the snatched weapon, another attack coming his way.
He was startled by the undetected attack and couldn't even give a reaction.
"Uagh!"
He flew several meters away to the other area.
/ How dare you steal from us!
The armored hobgoblin talked once more. It had left the relaxed and arrogant attitude from before.
He was now enraged!
Some reddish aura emerges from its body.
"Shit! Can we even at least kill one?"
Arceede had run away from the hobgoblin party while attacking the other 3 Avia aggroed before.
He tried to lure them away from 'The Appraiser'.
Avia utilized the time given to him to fully restored his HP.
"Just use the 'Dreamcatcher Amulet' yourself! It won't affect me that much anyway."
"Yeah, I will! Let's just try to kill at least one before we died."
And with the snatched club he got from Arceede, he continued to join the battle.
Both of them focused on one of the 3 he aggroed before.
Arceede has focused his attack on it as a signal to Avia.
"I have depleted my potions!"
"Okay! He will close to poised break too."
Both of them poured all the attacked into it as it was their final moment.
Fortunately, the armored hobgoblin was just too slow to chase them. The archer and the other were still annoying, but they weren't that much a threat anymore.
"One down."
"I think we can get one more."
"Let's just do it, you don't need to waste your potions."
With a nod, they continue to get another victim.
------------------
The current time was 3 in the afternoon. Viro sat in front of the TV.
A familiar scene and graphics appeared on the channel he watched.
It was channel 73, the dedicated channel only to the game Ranker's Quest.
There were several figures talking about the new dungeon.
Pruwal Goblin Cavern was an instant dungeon.
The players with a maximum of 4, are eligible to enter it. In the current stage of the game, that dungeon was the only place to obtained equipment.
It could be repeated as many as the player want.
Compared to the open hunting area, the enemies came in several waves and arguably harder.
The hunting area was the place where you competed with each other to kill spawned mobs.
Well, there was an unwritten rule to not monopolized or competing too hard.
Veteran player has used to this kind of thing and helped the community to get better.
In this case, Viro wasn't that much affected or tangled up in the situation since he hunted in a more isolated area. There, the mobs were harder, but he didn't need to compete against the other.
A thing he didn't realize was that only skilled players would be able to survive in the deeper area.
Or maybe a fortunate player?
Viro, with his character, Roivicc has made good decisions from the beginning or perhaps the best.
He started with 2 skills, or to be more precise, 1 skill and 1 spirit beast from the beginning. While the other might only have one.
The one who has played the previous game has accustomed to the game culture and information.
They would save their money and spent it on the high-level gear once they stuck. They wouldn't easily spend the money to bought more skills or newbie gear. Which was a contrast to a newbie who bought 2nd skills with his entire fortune.
TV's discussion shifted to another perspective.
It was now for civilians.
Civilians started to have a better prospect. They could increase Lvl and progress faster now.
They would be able to circulate the items obtained by Adventurers through the dungeon.
Merchants could resell it. Blacksmiths could enhance it. Artists could decorate it. A whole path opened to the civilians.
The adventurer couldn't easily check the optimal prize as they couldn't appraise the weapon easily.
They had to let go of some appraisal stone to appraised the loots. Which was also ineffective as the appraisal stone had some values too. They couldn't rely on chance that easily.
As the information to the civilian's prospect has gone further, they started to shift it again to the dungeon layout.
It was recorded from the perspective of one player.
'Wow, footage from the authorized player!' Viro screamed on his mind.
While the footage goes on, TV's interviewees talked about the information they got.
According to the information they got so far, there were assumed to be 8 waves of mobs, depended on the path the player chooses.
'Oh wow! There are still 2 more waves.'
They said that this was the current 'live streamer's' 2nd attempt to the dungeon, and there was still no information about dungeon clearance as of now. There should be some sort of notification if someone cleared it.
While Viro focused on the TV, a door opened with a click and someone came out of the room.
"Hi! How far are you?"
"Just killed on 3rd waves."
Knowing that information, Viro pumped his chest and his nose pointed high to the sky.
