After sitting for a while, he kept thinking about what to do, the factor of being alone in this scenario was affecting his mental health.
'If I tell mother about it, she will congratulate me.' He thought. The massacre done by him was for the good in terms of the tribe, but his own morals were clashing with it. He kept on thinking till he came to a conclusion.
'Well, I am not a human now, why will I think about it, I am not in a peaceful world, it's the survival of the fittest.....Yes, any other person would do the same.'
He didn't notice but his normal aura was getting cold making the goblin children fear looking at him. He looked back at the kids.
'Killing the children will not even get me EXP, not worth it.' He made up his mind to not finish the children. With the space ring full of copper, he went running to the west from where he exited the forest. What he didn't know was he had made a lucky choice, the mining tribe of the goblins was under a bigger tribe and sooner or later, they will find out.
Amil got on a treetop, observing his surroundings. He had a good plan in mind.
'The bird would not have traveled much, from the place of its death, I will move all directions…. Sooner or later, I will reach back' He thought resolving his will. Reaching
The north was a no-go, leading to the depths of the forest. South would make him go outside the forest, what was left was east and west.
'East' After thinking for a minute, he concluded in going east. The corpse of the bird was half eaten when he approached, without any space in the ring left, he couldn't help but leave it.
Moving for a while peacefully, he found a centipede territory.
"This one is level 5, might as well get the experience." He said with a cold voice. The centipede noticed him approaching from the distance due to the bloodlust Amil was emitting.
Amil didn't know that part, thinking it had good senses. He made a fireball fast throwing it at a good speed. The centipede looked at it and pulled its tail ahead wanting to destroy it.
Amil knew this part, When the centipede was defending itself from the fireball, Amil went near and kicked it in the face. It went stumbling for a while until hitting a tree.
Amil materialized another fireball throwing it immediately, his mana stat had increased a lot.
The centipede couldn't help but defend again, it had always killed the beasts by biting them, the centipedes had a very different magic power, poison. By using their magic skill, they could make the poison in them 10 times more potent making even a level 5 beast lose 5 HP per second. But alas, Amil being intelligent, did not let it attack at all.
Amil used Iron nails trying to pierce it, on contact, the nails changed directory not being able to penetrate. The carapace of the centipede was way too good.
Using the previous strategy, he materialized the sword and tried to hit its inner mouth. The centipede was done guarding, trying to pounce on him. Amil being more experienced just gave it a roundabout kick, the centipede's face hit the ground with a bang.
Amil used the sword and put the sword forcibly in the mouth just like putting a debit card in the atm. Finally, blood came out as the sword got stuck in its mouth.
Amil stepped back and looked at it squirming in pain with satisfaction. His face directly changed to disgust as the centipede was trying to take the sword out with the help of its thousands of creepy legs.
"Fuck, bastard ruined my sword"
Amil angrily punched its mouth, the sword cleanly cracked the jaw. The sheer pain made the centipede unconscious.
"Hah…easy fight" Amil just went near and started hitting it with his iron nails. After a while, the carapace broke making Amil pierce the flesh.
[ EXP +66, +1 strength, +1 stamina]
"Juicy EXP, the satisfaction never gets old." He heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't get the corpse due to less storage.
Amil kept checking to look for the red marks on the trees made by his tribe for safety, he even remembered the beasts near his territory.
The day went by with him only sprinting, after finding a clear lake, he first sipped the water and then jumped in it.
"Hahh…." Amil felt his exhaustion go away.
About ten minutes passed without any activity, he kept swimming in the small lake till the sound of footsteps invaded.
He looked back and saw a deer-looking beast at the height of 5 feet with long horns. It was clearly not happy with Amil. Amil was just going to come out and attack when he heard something in his mind.
'Why…come...territory?' Amil became dumbfounded, the deer had clearly communicated with him in mind. He didn't know how to reply and just said aloud.
"Can you understand me?"
The deer looked at him for a while before saying again.
'…. Yes'
The voice resounded again, it sounded like that of an old man.
Amil didn't mind as he got to talk to someone after so long.
"Sorry for invading the territory, I just wanted to refresh myself in the pond"
Amil had to wait for the deer to say something again, the deer understood him, but it took time.
'A kobold…... Apologized?... First time…'
Amil only gave a small chuckle, they talked for a while where Amil told him he was not going to attack which only got him a nod.
"Do you happen to know if a kobold tribe is near here...?" Amil asked with anticipation.
5 minutes later, the silence broke as the deer responded.
'Yes….'
"Really!!! Please tell me!"
' Have...to...pay'
Amil understood that the deer wanted something in exchange. He asked him what he wanted and got surprised by the demand.
The deer had a very great territory with even water in it, and it did not go well as the nearby beasts kept asking for the territory. Amil didn't understand why they asked and had not killed the deer till now. He got the answer from the deer's action.
It went near the water and put his large horns in it, the horns started illuminating, Amil saw as the white light flowed into the water and made it cleaner.
"Sigh…I get it now. Let me guess, you told them by communicating like this too….never mind, you want me to take care of the beasts near right?"
The deer nodded furiously, it knew how strong kobolds were, and finding such a calm kobold also did the work.
The deer took too much time, but it told Amil all about the beasts living near it. Amil was too happy to communicate that he did not find the wait annoying.
--
Meanwhile,
"THAT FUCKING LIZARD!"
"I WILL KILL IT!!"
"KILL!"
"KILL!"
The chant of the kill was resounding around the goblin village, the kids who were crying before now had eyes filled with vengeance. That day, Amil had made many nemesis without even knowing it.
