CH 7 UNEXPECTED END
'nom.. nom... Orcs meat sure tastes like a rubber'
currently, Jason is sitting next to the fire, warming himself against cold weather while hungrily munching on orc meat. Till this point, he has met only three groups of Orcs that have helped him gain experience. Orcs that once tried to eat him has now become Jason's food.
After having his food and recovering his Mana and HP. Jason has decided to enter the next part of the forest having cold weather and this small rest renewed his fighting spirit.
His body is rapidly changing, his physique has improved before his height was 5.7 but now it must be 6, and now looks much better than before maybe because of his current lifestyle and nutritious orc meat. He can now run freely with his new body.
*****
In the dense forest is the figure of a shadow moving at a high, jumping from one tree to another.
It's Jason and behind him is a horde of goblins attacking him, originally his priority should be to reach Temple but with his once broken spirit recovered, he couldn't help but want to try his theories.
'hyaaa'
Goblins are getting angry to see an Invader in their territory and they can't even touch him. Jason has distributed his stats point carefully. Now his agility and stamina are way greater than these goblins known for agility. suddenly Jason somersaulted, trees in front of them disintegrate in an instant, and half of the goblins fell in a hole dug by Jason before. remaining goblins are shocked by the sudden change of situation.
'hyaa.. grraa...' they screamed looking at their friend and then at Jason.
Jason is calm standing next to the hole he jumped and poked a spear into the goblin's head which is trying to escape from the hole. In one thrust spear penetrated his skull to come out from his mouth.
'ASTRAL CANNON'
Suddenly, all of the goblins started glowing and become dust. Jason's spear flashed with blue light, a revolving ball of Blue color appeared having the size of a football.
'huh, it worked? but the size is smaller than I expected'
he threw this ball with all his force towards goblins standing on branches.
feessssshhhhh...
Jason was shocked to see the damage his attack caused, everything that came in its affected area burned. he got the inspiration for this skill from his ''lantern'' skill and used the spear as a connection, this skill may have terrific power but cannot convert any organism into energy if its level is higher than Jason's, right now Jason can't handle that much energy without a spear.
he created this by concentrating all energy at a point, he is inspired by the fireball that killed Jeffry.
[HOST CREATED NEW SKILL- 1800EXP]
'HUH I can gain exp by creating skill, haha'
kills may have given him a lot of Exp but all the cores of goblins vanished.
cursing his luck Jason started running towards Temple but before he can enter the dense forest
fissshshsh...
An arrow just passed scratching his ear then another one hits his leg causing him to fall while pulling the arrow he saw the person who attacked him.
"A GOBLIN KING"
[QUEST 'DEFEAT GOBLIN KING'
RANK - C
REWARD - ? ]
'gruhhhh.. rhhrr'
seeing this screen he felt relieved if the system has issued this quest it means Jason has some possibility of defeating GOBLIN KING but it is going to be tough. grabbing his spear he tried to stand but before he could stand goblin king kicked him The wind howl and from his left chest he felt pain explode in his body as he was flung against the tree.
this kick dropped his HP to 62/200, it will only need 2-3 hits like this to end Jason's life. Jason quickly added all his available stat points in agility and start running towards the spear but the Goblin king reached their first and stood in a fighting stance. Jason starts running around Goblin king to find any opening but the eyes of the goblin king are following his every movement pressuring Jason.
'hyaa,..... gruuhhhh'
whenever Jason approaches the goblin king starts swinging his daggers, so Jason had to jump back. running here and there Jason tries to grab his spear many times but each time failed to cause many cuts all over his body.his HP IS DRAINING at a fast rate.
HP- 40/200
'gruhhhhaaa'
seeing HP his nervousness increases and he jumped backward to maintain a safe distance. his mana is still not recovered so he has only one skill but for it, he had to touch him. he ran towards him and slide down in front of him to grab his spear. this action may have shocked the goblin king but before Jason can lift the spear GOBLIN KING puts his feet on the spear. Jason looked above and saw Goblin's ugly face having scars and dried blood. Grabbing the goblin's leg, he let go of his spear and shouted.
'ASTRAL BREATH..., ASTRAL BREATH, ASTRA...'
but nothing big happened goblin kings skin was rockhard, Goblin king grabbed Jason's hair and lifted him to his eye's level
7feet tall, dark green, 2 tusks, and bad breath its Jason's first time seeing an alive monster from so much close. but then goblin king stretched his right hand keeping Jason in the air, Jason struggled to free himself but failed.
A punch hit him in his chest he felt pain explode in his body as he was sent flying and finally hitting the tree. He vomited mouthful blood, While tears and mucus flowed. his HP dropped more
HP- 25/100
[HOST HP CROSSED 30, SELF HEALING TRIGGERED]
seeing his injuries healing themselves he felt relief. he started thinking about the plan which can save his life. he looked at his stats and smiled he has a plan but for it, he had to go close to Goblin king again. he took out 4 out of 8 Orc cores and threw them towards Goblin king but they fell without even scratching the Goblin King seeing this goblin king must felt overpowered. he remained standing there letting Jason approach him but he always kept his eyes on Jason. Jason ran as fast as he could and took a sharp turn when he is 5m far from goblin king. goblin king took a fighting stance and roared.
'growwwwr...'
ignoring his roar Jason kept running a half-circle around Goblin King to reach his spear which the goblin king has forgotten, Jason grabbed the spear then jumped towards his enemy, and fell to his feet where cores are lying.
'ASTRAL BURST' Jason shouted.
before the goblin king could respond Jason is 10m above in the sky aiming a spear for his head then.
'ASTRAL BULLET' shout echoed.
Spear shot towards Goblin king with unbelievable speed. Goblin stretched his hands to block; however, the force is too much spear penetrated his thick hand then his skull making it explode.
shooo.....
'kyaa...'
thud...
The headless body fell on the ground.
ASTRAL BULLET IS A SMALLER VERSION OF ASTRAL CANNON.
HE USED 3 cores to shot up in the sky and one in this skill.

' MY STATS IMPROVED, GOOD'
---
He dug his bare hand in the headless body of the goblin king and took the core out. The core was radiating snow-white light having the size of about common cores. Putting that aside, he wore a cloth of the Goblin King. After putting cores in the pocket he again disappeared into the dense forest.
***
Jason has prepared a treehouse as the base camp to rest, the sun never rises on this place so it is difficult for him to know the time but he had noticed that with the increase in stamina stats he can work without getting tired for a long time so he rarely took a break while venturing through the forest.
Lying on the soft bed of moss starring at the GOBLINE KING'S core, Jason watches each moment of his fight on screen from his perspective.
''ahh, that was dangerous I had to learn, I can't fight like that in the outer world'' he thought.
'hey system ahh no I can't call you system always, do you have any name'
[system-..... no]
'ok, I will call you... ahh.. ahh.., Jeffry, hows it?' in memory of Jeffry
[ok]
looking at the screen Jason found 2 more tabs on it they may have appeared when Jason leveled up but he didn't get a chance to see the Shop and archives. The archive tab is locked but Shop is accessible
clicking on SHOP Jason saw weapons, potions, and Artifacts lined up.
but they can be bought with coins.
looking at the price of the potion Jason's mouth dropped in shock.
'what 1000 coins, In an outside market this Potion is at least a million dollars worth, maybe the value of coins is greater but, how can I get these coins?' Jason thought.
[system- by completing quest/leveling up]
'ok, break time over, let's continue our journey' As he stood, he placed his hand on the basecamp at the next instant the camp, disappeared.
[ENERGY- 100/100]
After killing the goblin king he found out that he can also store energy for later use and he is using his skills more often to upgrade them.
Most of his skills have leveled up.
ASTRAL BREATH- level 2
ASTRAL BURST - Level 3
ASTRAL BULLET- level3
The same goes with canon and lantern. now he can control the size of the lantern.
****
The forest that he is passing through is getting denser as he is reaching the temple forest, one thing which Jason noticed as he is reaching the temple forest is getting denser and creatures are getting stronger.
Jason has a rough idea that he killed Goblin king 12-13 days ago and now his opponents are far stronger than that guy so the Jason.
Currently, Jason had fought with ogres, wolfs and various other creatures
Jason is hiding below a rock that he created, cautiously he is observing his surrounding to know more about the creature residing here.
this is what his life in the forest had taught him to never roam in unfamiliar areas and be cautious of everything. Till now he has already met several types of creatures having rank C or B in this part of the forest but he massacred all of them mercilessly some times in direct battle sometimes assassinating them but no one among them is intelligent races like MUGEI.
after looking for over 5-6 minutes
He lay down on the cold ground and simply closed his eyes to face his inner-self once again. Then, he reaffirmed his determination for survival.
suddenly the air around him become heavy, echoes of growls and roars filled the silent surrounding, the smell of Iron filled the air and goosebumps ran over his entire body.
he looked outside from a gap and saw a pack of lava hounds coming towards him from bushes sniffing His scent then his eyes met with the stare of the B ranked hound walking in front of the Pack.
"shit, I am fuc***'
*********
In the meantime outside world is facing another problem.
After the S+ ranked Black Gate appeared, the rate of gates appearing increased tremendously, slowly Failing the whole guild infrastructure of the country, gate break became common, the country has lost nearly 1/4th its area to the foreign races.
due to the lack of hunters, all the awakened humans are forced to join forces helping citizens evacuate. Australia is under the family Blazeheart which has close relations with WHIRUS so a team of WHIRUS's elite hunters was also despatched.
somewhere in Australia...
'we will have a party, once we kill this mf, die bit**' shouted one hunter slashing a wendigo.
Slash.. slash...
sounds of hunter's attacks are echoing in the abandoned city.
'yes..., wooo, Yesss,...'.
'sure we will, but apart from liquor ...., kayak..'
" Tommy..."
claws ripped the Tommy into shreds within a sec. the creature was faster than any hunter present.
'what's that, whats .., what's kyaa.. sabe m..., some on..please'
cries of pain filled the abandoned city. The unknown creature vanished with the gust of wind, destroying every life it touched...
