The goblins kept noticing a familiar black figure with five shining sharp claws!
The third guard fell to the ground as Geer let out a furious roar.
"Ding! You have killed a goblin guard. Obtained 1000 experience points. Obtained 1 soul point."
"You have killed a goblin guard of a higher level. The goblin guard has an elite attribute template. You have obtained the attribute template of the goblin guard."
Bates stopped attacking the goblin soldiers. His black body quickly rushed into the forest, and with a few jumps, he'd disappeared from Geer's sight.
"Coward, come out!" he yelled, "I'm going to kill you myself! I'll chop your body into pieces and make meat soup!"
An angry roar spread out. Geer rushed to where Bates had disappeared. His broadsword slashed down rapidly, leaving a deep mark on the ground. No matter how hard Geer looked around, he still could not find Bates.
After a long time, Geer finally calmed down.
He let the goblin hunters and warriors of the Goblin City continue to search for Bates in the forest, and brought the goblin priest and the last goblin guard back to his 'palace'.
The 'black demon' was good at stealth. Fighting in the forest, whether it was a sneak attack or escape, had a huge advantage.
However, the best places for a battle were open spaces, and the empty space outside the 'palace' presented the best choice.
Geer had just returned to the empty space with the goblin priest, goblin guards, and the remaining ten goblin soldiers.
"Shadow Assault!" Bates shouted, as he rushed out of the tent.
He appeared in front of the goblin priest, and in a flash, had pierced through the priest's head with his claws
"Ding! You have killed a goblin priest. Obtained 1,500 experience points. Obtained 1 soul point."
"You have killed a goblin priest. The goblin priest has a brave earth attribute template. You have obtained the attribute template of the goblin priest."
The level 14 goblin priest had a warrior-level attribute template.
Bates guessed that this goblin priest's health must have exceeded 500 points, possibly 1,000.
Even though the physique of the spellcaster was obviously weaker, the goblin priest had a warrior-level attribute template, which meant that the health bonus he received would not allow his health to be lower than a goblin guard.
If this was a normal game, he would not have been able to kill the goblin priest in one hit. He would not even have been able to kill the goblin guard before him!
However, this was not a normal game.
The game was built with a degree of freedom that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Weakness strike, instant kill, were all real things in the game.
Sharp claws and teeth that could tear through steel, attack buffs from shadow raids, were all things that make the game different.
With these factors added together, no matter if Bates was facing a goblin guard or a goblin priest, they would all be killed with one hit!
With the warrior-level attribute template in hand, Bates was happy, but Geer was even more furious.
"Ground thrust!" he yelled, and with an angry roar, Geer raised the broadsword high in the air, and then quickly slashed down on the ground.
A dazzling burst of light shone from the broadsword, covering the area around Bates.
Having just killed the goblin priest, Bates didn't have time to dodge, and was directly hit! An intense power surged out, and he felt as if he'd been hit by a train at full speed! Bates flew back almost 10 meters before he fell to the ground.
[ status ] : Health 389, Mana 250
The result of receiving Geer's full power attack head-on, caused Bates to lose 110 health points! Even with his [ heavy armor shell ] skill, the damage was massive. The parts of Bates' back that had been struck by the 'ground thrust' had shattered!
If it wasn't for his [ heavy armor shell ] skill, Bates would have lost more than half of his health from that single attack.
However, the loss was worth the warrior-class attribute template he had gained. He had even killed a priest who could constantly restore the enemy's health. It was totally worth it!
Bates still had his [ limb regeneration ] skill, so he could still recover if he ate the maximum amount of food he could consume.
He felt calmer knowing the full extent of Geer's power, and more confident he would win!
He had enough goblins corpses to constantly recover from his injuries.
Geer could only endure his shadow attacks for so long, before all his subordinates died.
Bates smirked and increased his speed. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed out of the empty space and disappeared into the forest once again.
"Leader, the black demon ran away!"
"The black demon was injured. Leader, beat it away!"
"Now the black demon won't dare to come, right?"
Bates' figure disappeared, as the goblin guard and soldiers shouted excitedly.
"Black demon? It's a coward!"
"If it dares to appear again, the general will definitely chop it into pieces!"
After finally injuring Bates, Geer was also extremely excited and happy with his subordinate's faith in him.
In the past, when powerful monsters had attacked the Goblin City and left, they would never appear again. If they had, they would only ever dare to capture a few ordinary goblins from the outskirts of the city.
After a few minutes, Bates was fully recovered.
He lurked close to the open ground again, and when the last goblin guard was only a few meters away from him, he attacked!
"Shadow assault!"
The last goblin guard fell.
"B*stard! How dare you appear again!" Geer yelled. He had just begun to relax, and was already planning for the future!
However, his last subordinate's head had just been bitten off, and had fallen to the ground.
Geer's huge body turned into a phantom, and he appeared in front of Bates almost instantly, knocking him away!
He raised his broadsword high and slashed down again!
"Earth stab!"
A blinding burst of light shone out again and sent Bates flying for a second time.
However, after landing on the ground this time, Bates was in no hurry to escape. Instead, he charged at the goblin soldiers!
His sharp claws and teeth continued to reap the lives of the soldiers!
"Ding! You have killed a goblin guard. Obtained 300 experience points."
"Ding! You have killed a goblin guard. Obtained 300 experience points."
Half of the goblin soldiers fell, and only when the remaining soldiers fled, did Bates adjust his direction and charge towards Geer!
Bates' strength and energy were far inferior to Geer's, and along with the buff from the lord's template, Geer's health would definitely far surpass Bates'.
However, Bates' agility attribute was much higher!
As long as he was not in the air, and without a goblins' hindrance, Bates would be able to dodge most of Geer's attacks.
Due to all his powerful passive skills, Bates would also be able to fight a prolonged battle with Geer!
Stealth, heal, continue the battle!
Stealth, heal, continue the battle!
After the first goblin guard was killed, Geer's fate was already decided.
The biggest boss of the novice village was destined to fall under Bates' claws!
