Chapter 17 - Trouble (5.3)

I wave back at Yuka, who gets inside an expensive-looking car. After seeing the car getaway, I walk toward my destination, Goblin Kingdom Dungeon. I want to clear the ghoul dungeon, but I know I'm not strong enough to clear it. That is why I need to level up in another dungeon.

I walk to the location my radar gives to me, and after walking for ten minutes, I arrive in front of a massive tree in the middle of a small forest.

As I touch the surface of the tree, I see a portal appear in front of me. I take a deep breath before I walk inside the portal. As I arrive inside the portal, I can see the world around me changed.

A small forest turned into a cave, a massive cave. I cannot see the end of the cave. That is how big the cave is. However, before I could prepare to explore the cave, I heard something coming at me.

I look to the left and see a group of goblins pointing their weapon at me while running toward me.

"Gigi! Gigi!"

Goblin Warrior| |Level 2| |HP: 370/370|

All of them have the same level, and I think I can kill one goblin in one hit, but sadly the goblin comes in number. As in, the group in front of me is around twenty or so goblins.

"Charged Shot!"

*BOOM*

I smile a little when I see the explosion, but I'm not done yet. So I take another arrow from my quiver and use another AOE skill I have.

"Magic Arrow!"

The explosion is not bigger this time, but it was good enough to finish off most of the goblins. As for the rest of the goblins, I finish them off using a normal attack. There is no reason to waste my other skills to finish off a dying enemy.

When the last goblin is dead, I release a relief breath. However, before I could sit down and enjoy some food I cooked last night, a notification appeared in front of me.

You declare war against the Goblin Baron|

2000 goblins will appear shortly. Prepare well!|

What?!? War? They are the ones attacking me first! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

I eat the burger and open up the system shop. I scroll down the list and search for an item I am looking for. When I browse the system shop, I encounter a weird item. However, that weird item is handy right now.

"Aha! This is it. Ugh… The price... Fuck it."

The item is called a 1-time use small fortress.

1-time small fortress| |Uncommon|

Summon a small fortress that can be used to hold an incoming army|

{Summon a medieval fortress that has a tower, wall, and spike around the wall.}

It cost me five thousand ST for a single-use item. Sadly, I need as much protection as I can. There are two thousand armies of goblins coming my way, for god's sake. I can run away from the dungeon. The portal is next to me, but I need to try to kill as many goblins as possible.

After purchasing the item, it appeared inside my inventory. It was an orb with a tower in the middle of it. I take it out and throw it in front of me. As I throw it on the ground, something grows from the ground.

The first thing to grow from the ground is the wall, the next one is the tower, and lastly, a spike around the wall.

I look around for a few seconds, and I know that I get scammed. This is not a fortress. This is a tower, wall, and gate. The only thing behind the wall is a tower and nothing else. I guess I cannot complain. It only cost me a thousand ST, after all.

I walked inside the tower and was impressed by the number of stairs it required to get on top. Not only that, but the stairs are also narrow, and there is only one way up. This is a good thing. I can make a trap on the stairs to the top.

I open up the system shop once again and search for traps in the search bar. A few seconds later, I found the trap I needed.

Arrow Traps| |Common|

An arrow trap that can be used by placing the card on the flat solid surface. The trap will be activated when someone steps into its radius.|

{Damage: 110 damage per arrow}

{Ammunition: 500 Arrow}

This one is good enough to kill a few goblins that try to climb the tower. Then, after buying the trap card for five hundred ST, I quickly get out from the tower and press the arrow traps on the ground under me.

I saw the wall absorb the card, and suddenly the surface of the ground changed a little bit. I can see an extra line on the ground. I guess it was the hole the trap shot the arrow from. With that done, I opened the system once again, but before I could do that, I heard a warhorn sound coming from the distance.

I quickly run toward the top of the tower, close the door and go to the nearby window. As I arrive near the window, I see a cloud in the distance. I can hear the warhorn get louder and louder every second pass by.

After a few seconds, I can see a massive amount of goblins marching in the distance. What the hell is happening? I thought this was a normal dungeon!

Kingdom type dungeon!|

Kingdom type dungeon is a dungeon where you invade the dungeon ruled by the monster|

To clear the dungeon, you need to kill the king of the kingdom.|

However, before you could reach the king, you need to kill the lower-ranking noble monster first.|

Baron -> Viscount -> Count -> Marquess -> Duke -> Prince -> King|

Can you tell me that first! The time before I go inside the said dungeon! There is nothing I can do right now. I can get out of this palace easily enough. I can jump out from the tower and run to the portal near the tower if the situation worsens.

I look at the army gathering in the distance and decide it is the time to get the buff from the food. I take another burger from my inventory and eat it. The buff from food only appears when I get full from eating the food. Sadly, one burger will not make me full.

A minute later, I get a notification that the buff is activated. I nod my head and activate my buff skill.

"Eagle's Eye!"

"Spiritual Focus!"

After activating the buff skill, I can get stronger. I then take an arrow from the quiver and aim at the goblin in the front.

Goblin Levy| |Level 1| |HP: 120/120|

The goblins in the front are not strong and weak even, but their number is something that I cannot underestimate. Those levies are the ones that have the most number among the goblin army. The second one is the Goblin Fighter. The third one is the Goblin Archer. The fourth and the last one is Goblin Knight.

Goblin Archer| |Level 2| |HP: 140/140|

Goblin Knight| |Level 4| |HP: 1050/1050|

Anyway, I take a deep breath and prepare to fire the arrow on my hand. I know that the higher my DEX is, the longer my range is, and right now, I have a range of five hundred meters.

And right now, those goblins are within my range.

"Charged Shot!"
