Chapter 28 - Greediest Goblin Ver I

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Date: February 9th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 4:51 PM)~~~

The clearing of the paths has gone wonderfully, and I've only got one path left to clear. Ver, the Greediest Goblin is my final target, and once he's dead, it'll mark the first clear of Greedy Goblins. I've got 60 gold so far and 95 EXP towards my player level. Dread Wave has gained 110 EXP and is level 2. Dark Vines and Black Spear each got 30 EXP. Black Shield and Dark Cacoon got 25 EXP each.

My player level has risen to 9, and I'm one level away from being level 10. I doubt that I'm going to be the first, but I'll be one of the first. I'm using my skills as diversely as possible, and it helps there are a lot of enemies. The goblins in this dungeon aren't that strong, but they're annoying in high numbers.

My mana is fully regenerated now, and that means it's time to get this last part finished. I start walking down the path leading towards Ver, and I won't have to fight anything on the way there. During the actual boss fight is a different story. He'll be getting help from goblins during the boss fight. I know I'm strong enough to kill him in one shot.

He usually has a level between 10 and 15, but any of my attacks will one-shot him even with that. The overwhelming power of the Darkness is becoming apparent. Staying above the mana demand is what's my real priority when it comes to my class. Once enemies start reaching levels 20 to 25, they'll have skills and armor that lower the damage dealt to them.

It's not going to be this easy for long, so I might as well enjoy it while I can. "I smeeelll yooouu..." A low-toned sentence bounces off the hallway walls as I continue down the path towards the boss. "You reek of gold..." True to their nature, goblins can smell gold on you even from a distance. I've heard many stories about how horrible creatures like goblins can be.

The green variant only does disgusting things. This smaller yellow variant is only interested in gold. The hall is coming to an end. I can see the massive metal doors leading into the boss room ahead. This is exciting, and I'll be in an actual challenge again. I stop at the door, and I push it open with one hand. A distinct metallic smell comes through my nose.

One that I'm not fond of. I look towards the obvious throne, and I see Ver. I use scan on him, and he's level 12. He has 660 health, which means he's got some powerful gear on, and I can't one-shot him. The system must've adjusted the difficulty of the dungeon to make it challenging for me. This doesn't fit the information I remember about Ver.

He stands from his throne, and his level and title light up above his head. Green name and level twelve. Green means he's an Uncommon grade boss that fits the information. "Your gold... Give it to me..." At the sound of his voice, dozens of goblins run out of doors around the room. I use Dread Wave, and Darkness leaps out from the black aura around my body and devours the coming goblins. Dread Wave gains 10 EXP and I get 15 towards my player level.

Ver sees this and takes it as an opportunity to reevaluate me as a threat. Now the throne room he's made is empty. That took care of the goblin reinforcements, but I'm betting the system has other things in store for me. "You... What are you..." He uses scan on me, and I don't have my title as Darkness Incarnate hidden. I watch his face morph.

[Greediest Goblin Ver is suffering Severe Intimidation!]

[His defenses have risen, but his attack power has been lowered!]

He draws his two longswords and leaps at me. He's being consumed by fear. I jump out of the way and barely dodge the attack. I charge up a Dark Burst on my left index finger and blast the Jet Black laser right at him. It's a direct hit, but he only takes 150 damage. The system wasn't kidding. His defenses really have risen.

He jumps back himself and creates distance between us. "You're not going to survive this, Ver." I watch him flinch as I say that. He won't remember me when I run this dungeon again, but this is fun.

Unknown to Lyatt Scott, there is a horrifying image being projected around him, an aura he can't see. A permanent Darkness, endlessness that can't be overcome, influenced by his desire for battle and power. He's at the center of it all. Above his head floats a Jet Black title saying Lyatt Scott, Darkness Incarnate (Mythical). A title... No... A being... That would terrify anything and a Darkness which nothing can escape.
