Sticking to the nearby boulders and shadows, Reign watched the miners as they mindlessly mined the crystals in front of them.
"There's 4 of them, and even though they are not looking at each other if I attack one there's a big chance another one will see me from the corner of his eyes, damn it, I don't know if I can do this without getting found out."
Reign thought for a bit and wondered if there was any way he can kill them without notice.
"Throwing a rock won't be good enough, with all the noise from the mining there's a big chance they won't even hear the rock, and even if they do they will probably just think it was a pickaxe, on the other hand even if it works and they get distracted the most I can kill without notice is 2, I guess that's it for a stealthy approach, I'll kill them quickly and retreat."
Reign moved towards the miners and inspected them, he was surprised to find their names a bit different and their levels quite low.
{ Lvl 2 Goblin Miner }
{ Lvl 2 Goblin Miner }
{ Lvl 2 Goblin Miner }
{ Lvl 1 Goblin Miner }
"They're weak and unarmed, well except for the pickaxes, but they still shouldn't pose a problem for me, I need to do this fast."
{ Lightning movement activated}
Buzzzz
Breaking into a sprint, Reign activated both his skill and ability, he didn't want any goblins to show up before he defeated the ones here so time and speed were of the essence.
"Hmm?"
The goblins were surprised by the light that suddenly flared up and quickly looked in its direction. The goblin nearest to Reign screamed as it found a human right in front of it with his sword high up in the air.
Swish
Before the goblin could even try to defend itself, Reigns' sword cut through it and quickly put an end to his life.
"Aaackk!!"
The other goblins scream while holding their pickaxes, for a moment they didn't know what to do, should they fight this horrible opponent or try to escape? Their thoughts were cut short though as Reign quickly moved to the next one, seeing his speed, they knew they couldn't escape and they try to group together, the first goblin slowly moved backward while facing Reign while the other two ran to him.
Swish
Reign threw a dagger but his moving so fast and not being proficient with knives made it miss the goblin by a big margin, holding the sword with both hands he jumped up and delivered a fierce slash at the goblin.
The goblin saw how one of his kind perished under a similar attack, putting the pickaxe up he tried blocking Reign's sword.
Thud
The sword was stopped, cutting halfway into the pickaxe, it released an electric shock that managed to stun the goblin for a bit. Reign lifted the sword with the pickaxe still there and stabs the goblin's chest, piercing it all the way to the part where the pickaxe was connected to the sword.
"Haa!"
With a loud shout Reign kicks the pickaxe and the goblin together, managing to unwedge the sword from it.
Crash
The goblin's corpse crashed into one of the incoming goblins, making him collapse on the ground, Reign quickly moved and tried to finish him off.
Swish
Hearing the sound of wind tearing he promptly moved his sword to the left, successfully blocking a pickaxe, but still getting a shallow wound on his side from the tip.
"Damn it!"
Pushing the pickaxe aside, he confronted the last goblin that came, even though he almost succeeded with it, Reign was fast enough to block him, and now his end was upon him.
Slash
With a quick slash, he managed to cut off the goblin's right arm at the elbow, as the goblin screamed and held the remaining half he immediately cut off the head, and now only one remained.
Moving to the now-standing goblin Reign nonchalantly held his sword to the side and delivers a sharp kick to its ankle. The kick was vicious and fast, the goblin's legs immediately went up in the air and he fell down, losing his pickaxe in the process. With a quick stab to the chest, Reign ended his life.
"Alright, that's 4 fewer enemies, I need to go up and see which group to attack next."
Reign moved toward the wall but noticed something.
"Wait, where is the notification?"
Immediately Reign got a bad feeling, turning behind him he noticed a group of goblins glaring at him, and at the front of the group was a hobgoblin.
"Shit!"
Reign turned around and tried to run away from where he came from, but only finds yet another group there, this one led by a hobgoblin as well.
"No escape huh, alright then, I was getting bored anyway."
Picking up his blade Reign activated his skill and ability once again, 2 hobgoblins at the front and back respectively, 4 goblins in front of him and 5 behind, this was not going to be easy.
Without wasting any time Reign ran at the group, he knew he needed to cut down their numbers as fast as possible because once the ones behind catch up, he will be in a really bad situation.
Lunging with full speed Reign was incredibly fast, his agility of 20 points gave him a speed that was almost double that of an average human, and coupled with his skill he was now moving even faster.
The hobgoblin saw Reign lunging, his sword in a stabbing position. Jumping left, he managed to dodge and even cut Reign from the side, but the hobgoblin was never the main target.
"Success!"
Reigns' mouth formed a small smile as he sees the goblins in front of him, quickly rotating he swung his sword with all of his might and managed to cut open the neck of one of them. The goblins, however, quickly recovered themselves and attacked.
Reign jumped backward and managed to dodge most of the attacks, only earning a small cut on his forearm.
Swinging his sword to the right, he intercepted the incoming sword of the hobgoblin, his electricity worked its magic and shocked him, but Reign again jumped backward, dodging more attacks from the goblins. The three goblins in front of him were equipped with 2 short swords and a short spear, fighting the three wouldn't be too difficult for him, but the hobgoblin was a bigger threat.
{Lvl 6 Hobgoblin}
Its level was high, but compared to the kobold Reign previously faced, it was weaker, a lot weaker.
"So, levels aren't everything huh, I need to keep that in mind."
Thinking that while swinging his sword, he managed to shock 2 more goblins, quickly turning his wrist he cut the arm of the spear-wielding goblin and shocked him too. Moving quickly he cut off the head but earned a cut to his shoulder from the now-recovered hobgoblin.
Moving backward, Reign saw that the other hobgoblin drew incredibly close to their position, with the goblins right behind him.
"I need to kill at least one more before they arrive."
Thought Reign as he dodged more attacks from the goblin and hobgoblin, blocking some of them, he noticed that his electricity didn't shock them this time, it probably had something to do with how thin it was on the sword, and the high level of his enemies.
Thinking quickly, Reign moved forward to the goblins, jumping above them, he dodged the attacks and threw a dagger at the hobgoblin that was preparing to attack him, the dagger managed to hit him in the chest, making his attack stop.
"A chance!"
Reign kicked a goblin in the head, making it fall down. Spinning slowly while in the air, he swung his sword at the only standing goblin who tried to block.
"Die!!"
With a furious shout, Reign slashed his sword down and cut the goblin's short sword in half, continuing on to cut deep inside the goblin, his sword stopping at the chest.
With a quick kick, Reign knocked down the goblin and took his sword out of him, turning around he put his sword on his left in a panic.
Clang
The other hobgoblin had arrived, slashing at Reign, his attack got blocked, but he managed to move Reign to the side a bit, breaking his balance. Copying what he saw from Reign he delivered an awkward front kick that connected. Moving back Reign took a deep breath and looked in front of him.
One goblin was getting up from his left side, 5 were in front of him and 2 hobgoblins, one injured and one fine were with them.
"Well, this is going to be tough."
Positioning his sword in front of him, Reign took a deep breath and got ready for the incoming fight.
