Looking at his squad who got injured from fighting a Kobold, Souta decided to hunt weaker monster for now. At least they experience fighting a skilled opponent.
"Rest for a while and we will continue our hunt." Souta said to his squad.
""Yes!""
The Goblins said as the same time.
Souta looked at the two who were task to looked for any approaching monsters and said, "Gobb, Gobu, look if there's any monster nearby. Notify me immediately if you found one."
Gobb and Gobu nodded at him and they quickly do their task.
"Hmmm..." Souta looked at their back and pondered if it's okay to let them evolve at this time.
Once a Goblin reach the level 10, they could evolve into a Greater Goblin or Hobgoblin. Level 10 was the requirement to evolve into a higher species. Then, what's the nest level of the next evolution.
"Hmmm~" Souta closed his eyes and hummed his favorite song. He don't know but he slowly fell asleep.
...
Zzzzz!
"Fua! I slept!"
Souta opened his eyes. He slept in this kind of place. That's too careless of him. He don't know why but he felt comfortable when humming his favorite song.
'I want a clock and a calendar! In the Labyrinth, I won't know if it's morning or night!' Souta thought. He really want to know how much time have passed since he was reborn.
"Let's go!"
He stood up and said to his squad. He then turned around and walked ahead.
The Goblins we quickly stood up when they heard his voice. They followed behind him.
"Leader sure is powerful." Gobo said.
"Yeah. I want to be like leader." Goba said in dazed.
"When I become a Hobgoblin I will follow leaders example and train my squad too." Gobe said to the rest of the Goblins.
"What?! You can dream about that if you became a Hobgoblin, Gobe!" Gobi said to Gobe.
"What?! You wanna fight!" Gobe said angrily.
"Come on, you're to slow to hit me! I almost died of laughter when I saw the Kobold stabbed you!" Gobi mocked Gobe.
"Stop fighting here if you don't want leader to get mad." Gobb said to them.
"I know! I'm just teasing Gobe!" Gobi said.
"What did you say?!" Gobe shouted.
Souta could here his squad talking about him. He's glad the he learned the Goblin language. He smiled and thought that these Goblins were like a seven years old kid but the Goblins always follow their instinct and do things that were against Souta's moral. Raping woman was an ordinary thing to them but Souta wouldn't do that as he still have his moral when he was a human. He also don't want Aisha to hate him.
"I'm getting bored here! I wanna play games!" Souta said in a tired voice. He's getting bored in never ending hunting and training here in the Labyrinth. He want something to entertain himself.
The only thing that could entertained him here were the bickering of his squad and the system. He never got bored looking at the system. Until now, he still couldn't believe that he reincarnated into a Fantasy World as a Goblin.
"Leader! Leader!"
Souta snapped out of his dazed when he heard Gobu's voice. He looked at Gobu and asked, "What is it?"
"We're surrounded." Gobu said to him.
Souta looked ahead and saw a pack of wolves growling at them. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't noticed these wolves.
"Prepare for battle." Souta said as he observed the wolves. There were six wolves in front of him. He slowly pulled out his sword and prepare himself for the battle.
""Yes, leader!""
The Goblins took a battle stances as they looked at the wolves. Even Gobu will join the battle. It doesn't matter if Gobu will evolve or not. They need his strength so he will join this fight.
"GO!!" Souta shouted as he step backwards and the Goblins charged forward.
He quickly entered his stealth state and jumped in the air.
Swoosh!!
Roar!!
The wolves roared loudly as they pounced at the Goblins.
Souta landed at the back of a wolf. He immediately moved his hand and slit the throat of the wolf.
Putchi!!
Blood spurted out like a fountain. It dye the ground in deep red color.
[Experience points gained!]
"As expected of leader!" Gobe exclaimed.
"You're so powerful leader!" Goba said.
"Shut up! Just fight your own enemies!" Gobi said.
Souta turned his head and saw a huge figure appeared in front of him. He quickly jumped out of the body of the wolf.
Bang!!
A giant wolf bite at his previous position.
Thud!
Souta landed on the ground and observed the giant wolf. This wolf looks menacing and the aura it gives off was different than the rest of the wolves. This wolf must be the leader of this pack.
He used his appraisal on the giant wolf.
[Greater Ash Wolf (Horus) level 16]
Same level as him. He wouldn't be able to kill this wolf easily. He was only good at sneak attack and average at close combat. His Sword Mastery was still level 1.
Killing this wolf won't be that easy. He think that he would be able to injure this wolf if someone distracted it. At least he managed to kill one of the wolf. Gobu and the others only need to fight four wolves.
Souta glanced at them and saw that they were only fighting two wolves.
Where's the other two?
He looked around and saw the other two at the back.
What are they doing there?
He squinted his eyes and saw two pups at the feet of the wolves.
'Hmmm? So that's the case...' Souta finally know why those two were at the back. So, they were trying to protect those pups.
Gobu and the rest would handle it easier if those two wolves quietly stay at the back.
Swooosh!!
Souta quickly tilted his head to the side and a claw passed besides his ear.
'That's close.'
He took a step back while swinging his sword.
Clang!!
His sword and the wolf's claw collided creating a loud metallic sound.
The wolf opened it's mouth widely trying to bite his neck. Souta blocked it with his sword.
He raised his foot and kicked the wolf at the side.
Bang!!
The wolf quickly stabilized itself and once again pounced at him with greater speed than before.
Souta recalled that he still have a skill that he didn't use in battle. He raised his hand and opened his palm.
"Mana bullet!"
A blueish ball formed on his palm and it quickly shot towards the wolf.
Bang!
The Mana bullet hit the wolf on it's head. The wolf clearly felt some damage but it didn't back down and instead it increased it's speed.
Souta was stunned at this. He didn't think that the wolf would just shrugged his Mana bullet. He know that he couldn't avoid the wolf so he just raised his hand.
"Aaarg!!" Souta groaned in pain as the wolf bite his arm. The wolf's fangs went deeply to his bone.
With just one attack, Souta's HP decreased by 20 points.
The pain made him loosen his grip to the sword.
Clang!!
The sword fell on the ground as Souta loses his weapon.
He gritted his teeth and he raised his other hand. He punched the wolf from the side.
Bang!!
The wolf ignored his punch and it lifted it's head. It smashed Souta on the ground.
Boom!!
Souta spat a mouthful of saliva as he felt the ground behind him formed a crack. He looked down and aimed at the feet of the wolf.
"Mana bullet!"
He fire mana bullet continuously at the feet of the wolf.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
Suddenly, he felt an uncomfortable feeling. It feels like someone was looking at his soul directly. He turned his head and saw one of the pups looking at him with a serious expression.
'That pup must be using appraisal on me.' Souta thought and he hit the stomach of the wolf with his knee.
Bang!!
The wolf loosen it's grip on him.
He seized this opportunity and grabbed the upper part of the wolf's mouth.
"Argh!"
Souta used all of his strength and he forcefully opened the mouth of the wolf. He pulled back his arm and smashed his fist inside it's mouth.
Bang!!
"Mana bullet!"
Souta casted his skill inside the mouth of the wolf.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
[Experience points gained!]
[You've level up!]
[Skill points gained!]
[All stats have increase by 5!]
Souta stopped casting his skill when he heard the notification inside his mind. He pulled out his bloody fist out of wolf's mouth.
He massage his arm as he slowly stood up. He thought that he was going to lose his arm when that wolf bit his arm.
He really need to go back to nest after this. He looked around and saw that the wolves were looking at him in fear.
