The sudden attack at night made Pino lose his strength, he managed to beat every Goblin that attacked him, but it's not an easy thing to do. After the fight, Pino see in the surrounding area, looking for the presence of Balam, he did not find the existence whereas when he closed his eyes, he was still in close Balam. Worry? Not really, Pino understood how much strength Balam was, so he didn't worry about it, it's just that he was confused by the current situation, where Balam disappeared suddenly.
"Sigh ... did you plan all this, Dad? You disappeared just when I was in a bad situation. Yes ... that's for sure, he left me to teach me about the harshness and cruelty of the outside world. Haish ... that's how Daddy is, he always uses his own way to teach me, "muttered Pino, briefly recalling the incident where he was left in the middle of the Ashmoss Forest just to let him know how to hunt and live in nature.
Considering the events of the past years, Pino was not too surprised by the current situation, instead he was able to calm down despite being confused for a while. The night grew darker, the air grew colder and stabbed to the bone, Pino saw the goblins' corpses and stepped away from them, but the place he was aiming for was a path he shouldn't have taken.
From the top of the tree, Balam only watched Pino, he jumped from one tree to another when the distance between himself and Pino was quite far. Even though the night was getting darker and the air turned colder, Balam was calm and careful when hiding from Pino's eyes, he hid his presence and blended into the environment like a chameleon.
Pino's footsteps didn't stop and moved through the bushes where the goblins appeared, he followed the method used by Balam, his steps were slow and careful, he wasn't running or rushing. His eyes kept moving from side to side watching all sorts of suspicious things. Heightened vigilance level, when there is a voice that appears suddenly, Pino will hold his breath and hurried down and squat, then see the source of the sound slowly.
Pino's caution was quite natural, he who had heard how strong Goblins were at night and had experienced it himself, he could not underestimate them. With great caution and alertness as well, he observes his surroundings. He was walking along a rocky path and full of weeds and scrub, not knowing how long he had been walking, Pino felt that he had been walking long enough.
As soon as he passed a thick bush, he saw a cave from a distance, the cave was dark, but Pino could hear some voices from inside the cave. The distance was not too far so he could hear what was going on there. He could hear the screams of a woman who was moaning in pain and helplessly, there were also strange noises from there.
Suspicious of what was in the cave, Pino looking for small stones, find a place that can monitor the movement of the cave. Pino rushed to the place, when he got there, Pino threw the stones in his hand, one by one aiming straight into the cave.
He threw the stones were very kuathingga create noise is quite disturbing.As soon as the stone entered the cave, the woman's moaning could no longer be heard, but just silence there. The absence of a sound coming out of the cave made Pino worried, he gripped his weapon firmly, his eyes were fixed on the cave entrance, even though he was behind the thicket, Pino was able to see the whole cave clearly.
"What's in that cave? The groaning woman is coming from there, why is it now disappearing? I screwed up ... I hope only ordinary monsters are in the cave," muttered Pino, he was in a position ready to launch an attack, silent and still quiet. He was able to listen to his own heartbeat, the cool breeze hitting his back which made the hairs of his neck stand up even more.
Several footsteps could be heard from inside the cave, Pino became even more alert. His eyes did not move from the cave, he was constantly watching every change from that place. He calmed his turbulent mind, was worried about the opponents he was about to face, and felt that he was making a stupid decision.
"I'm too confident, why did I come to this place ... damn it !!! I should have waited for Dad instead of here, I don't know what else to do. The footsteps from that place were not simple ... there were several sounds of footsteps and they were simultaneous, this sound didn't come from just one person ... it was a group, "muttered Pino, he sharpened his hearing and found that there was a footstep that sounded simultaneously in one unit that comes from inside the cave.
One by one the green creatures came out from inside the cave, they were wearing more clothes than the Goblins Pino fought. From afar, Pino could feel the difference between the goblins he fought against and the goblins in front of his eyes, the most striking difference was the equipment used, and there was a huge difference in their presence.
When Pino watched him closely, there was one Goblin who caught his attention, he was watching it attentively. "What the hell is that goblin, he is bigger than other goblins, even higher. Equipped like a warrior ... is there a goblin like this? I was wrong ... I shouldn't have come here, damn it !!" growled Pino. As soon as he saw the Hob Goblin, he felt a trace of great anxiety and almost became a fear. Pino caught his breath and remained silent, he didn't move an inch of his body, trying to hide his presence. He went deeper into the bush, as slowly as possible. I don't know what happened suddenly, the goblins turned their eyes to the place where Pino was hiding.
"I'm sorry, son. I have to do this, forge yourself right ... get through this life and death situation bravely, don't hide. What you are doing now ... will only bring bad luck to the future. You didn't devise a plan while hiding, you just hid yourself ... afraid of that Hob Goblin, "muttered Balam, he threw a rock firmly and aimed it right at the goblin crowd. He was on the same path as Pino, so the gaze of the Goblin which should have been on him instead turned around and turned towards Pino.
The Goblin crowd itself consisted of one Hob Goblin and twenty Goblins. More than ten goblins ran at the fastest speed, moving towards Pino, their weapons ready to cut down whatever was in their path. Their distance was getting closer, Goblin was only a few steps away from Pino.
Grumbling indistinctly, Pino came out of his hiding place and slashed at the goblins in front of him, his movements soft and neat, four goblins collapsed with slashes on his chest. Turning his eyes towards the goblins that were about to attack him, Pino began to go crazy with one stroke and knocked two goblins off, and his movements were quite agile. It only took a few seconds for Pino to finish off all the Goblins.
"Who is that bastard who threw the stone just now, thanks to him ... I have to deal with immoral beings like them !!!" growled Pino, he finished off the Goblin who attacked him, leaving the Hob Goblin with only a few Goblins.
