A day have passed since Souta managed to kill the giant frog. He was level 5 right now and was much stronger than before but from what he saw he still couldn't matched those monster in a frontal battle. Those monster could easily kill him if he fight them head on so he devise a plan to assassinate those monsters.
He will use the remaining food in the storage as bait to the monsters here. And while the monsters were busy eating the food he will use this chance to killed them.
"It's easy to say but hard to do." Souta muttered as he sighed.
He looked at the improvement of his stats.
[Name: Souta Kiyomi
[Title:
[Job:
[Race: Goblin
[Level: 5
[HP: 22/22
[Strength: 11
[Agility: 12
[Dexterity: 11
[Vitality: 11
[Intelligence: 10
[Mana: 20
[Skills:
[Skill points: 100]
His stats were already two digit numbers. He also bought the HP regeneration skill on the skill list.
Yesterday, he managed to level up the Appraisal skill he have. For now he could see the level of a monster.
The intelligence stat were connected to mana stat. It was Int multiply by two is equal to his mana. It's the same as his Hp and Vit.
"Okay, let's pack up my bait." Souta said as he picked up a sack of meat and placed it in front of the nest.
He then hid himself as the corner. He took a deep breath and grabbed the handle of his sword. He waited for a monster to come here.
Half an hour later he heard a footsteps. He waited and saw an Orc walked forward and grabbed the sack of meat.
He couldn't do anything but just watched the Orc take the sack of meat. He know the no matter what circumstances he wouldn't be able to kill it with his current strength.
He looked at the Orc and used his appraisal.
[Orc level 8]
The Orc stopped and looked at it's surroundings.
'Hmm? It seems that I couldn't use the appraisal lightly.' He thought when he saw the reaction of the Orc when he used appraisal. It looks like they could feel when someone was using appraisal on them.
'Orc level 8...' the Orc is just a level 8 monster but the different in stats could be seen from their power. It was just at this moment that he finally understand that goblin is at the bottom of the food chain. Even if he was higher level than them his stats will remain low.
He couldn't help but gritted his teeth at this. It seems like he needs to unleashed the gamer inside his body and grind exp to level up quickly.
After the Orc left, he went inside carried another sack of meat outside. He then waited for another customer to come by.
Five minutes later a customer came earlier than he expected. It was none other than the giant frog.
'Luckily it's this frog.' He breath a sighed of relief when he saw that it was the giant frog. If he could kill it before then he could kill it again. He only need to do what he did before.
He narrowed his eyes as he watched the giant frog approached the sack of meat. He silently walked towards the giant frog with a sword in his hand. When the giant frog was about to swallowed the meat Souta jumped at the back of the giant frog.
Shiiing!!
He raised his sword and stabbed it's eye. He grabbed the handle tightly and use his other hand to hit the handle.
Just like before the giant frog died after the sword pierced deeply in it's eye.
[Experience points gained!]
[You've level up!]
[Skill points gained!]
[All stats increase by 2!]
"Nice!" He exclaimed when he heard the notification in his mind. He pulled out his sword and jumped down from the frog.
Before he level up by two when he killed it but now he only level up by one. It means that he need to kill two or three giant frog to level up once again.
He looked at the corpse of the giant frog and used appraisal.
[Whipping Giant Toad level 4 (deceased)]
"Eh?! It's a toad! Well, it doesn't matter if it's a frog or not." Souta said when he saw the row of words. The only problem is that this toad is level 4 but still much stronger than him though he could kill it using sneak attack.
He raised his sword and swing it at the corpse of the frog.
Putchi!!
The sword got stuck at it's muscle. It got a tough body. He wouldn't be able to kill it if he didn't managed to pierced it's eye.
He shook his head and somehow he felt hungry. He don't want to eat those raw meat but he don't have any other choice here. He need to survive. To do that he need to eat no matter how awful this meat.
He pick up the sack of meat and went deep inside the nest before he started eating.
'What an awful taste! If mother was here I could just drink her milk.' he thought while chewing the meat.
...
In this labyrinth, there's a lot of monster. The distance between the floor and ceiling outside was roughly ten meters. There's also many narrowed path like this place where monsters took as their territory.
This labyrinth is too huge. He didn't know the exact size so he don't have any idea how large it is. Just the goblin nest was already large enough to compare to his previous school.
Souta right now was training his mana. His mana manipulation skill was still at level 1 so he couldn't use it in battle. He guess that he need it to level up to three before he could coated his fist using mana. If he could do that then his combat ability would increase and his survival too.
