1 day passed since the fight with the teleporting rodent. Amil had killed the other beast without any worry. He even got to level 6 in these days.
The deer was very satisfied with the outcome as no creature had come to the lake since Amil came.
But that changed when Amil was returning after killing a centipede, he saw a small green hobgoblin screeching at the deer saying something he couldn't understand. The goblin after talking with the deer for a while went back.
"What did it say.?"
"Going.to.subdue.me....if.don't.comply" the Deer said slowly. Amil frowned at the remark, he and the deer had become good friends and his nature was getting calmer day by day just like before due to his support.
He just kept the centipede corpse near the deer and went scouting. The only territory left was the goblin's, outside the forest. The stealth skill was level 2 now due to excessive use.
Reaching out, he saw the level 5 goblin that came to the deer going inside the tribe. The tribe on the whole was smaller that his tribe with 20 huts including a big one which clearly was of their leader's. Amil looked and saw that most of them had weapons with them meaning it was a warrior tribe.
'Fuck…level 9's here too' He saw a hobgoblin with well-defined muscles at a height of 6 feet. Two big tusks came out of the lower mouth. Following it were 5 hobgoblins and goblins between levels 5 and 8.
Amil was confident in killing level 8s but he hadn't tried level 9. The goblin race was weak, it didn't work like kobolds who had tough skin from the beginning or the humans with the brains.
That was until a hobgoblin evolved, Amil had read in the tribe about those terrifying existences.
--
Meanwhile, Amil's tribe was having a war with a kobold tribe, his sister was now level 8 with her mother at 11 and Drax at 10.
Gaghan had finally reached level 4 and was fighting a level 5 monkey with some help.
A long great sword was swung at a very high speed, decapitating the hand of the monkey. The punch skill of the monkey had no effect on him as he could not feel any pain or the injuries. They were just being collected.
Zach just kept hitting the monkey till the body was all battered. He had reached level 5 due to some dangerous choices in the past few days.
He was not at all concerned about Amil because of their connection, he couldn't find Amil but his mental link with him was still on, meaning Amil was alive.
He got the notification soon and looked at the young female kobold who gave him a grin and a thumbs up in approval.
The fights were going pretty normal, and they had also realized that Amil had gone somewhere far.
"Sigh…. I knew it, the way he acted before…" Drax said while killing a kobold with a single smash.
A speedy silhouette was moving near him with sparks all around her body. The enemy's blood dripped from her knuckles.
"I know…but I thought he will tell us before leaving... Bratty child" She snorted and finally killed her opponent.
What they didn't know was that Amil was in real danger this time.
--
'I can only destroy the tribe by getting their numbers one by one.'
Amil thought while playing with a small ball of fire in his hand. The skill had leveled up to 3, now letting Amil touch it for some while, unlike before when his hand would catch fire due to it. It was like his comprehension of the fire magic had increased.
Amil kept waiting for the goblins to separate. He started observing their roots. The goblin cavalries always went out with the same combination, one level 7 or 8 with others a little low level than it. Amil found around 3 different cavaliers till now and just waited for the right time to attack,
The level of the leader was still unknown, so Amil was not taking the chance to go all wild and keep calm. All cavalries had a particular time for the hunt.
As usual, the 1st cavalry came out of the tribe, Amil just followed them as they killed the level 1 to 5s without any worry.
'Huff…now' He took a deep breath and moved at full speed towards the low levels, the first level 5 lost its head instantly. Following it, another died. Level 6 also didn't suffer dying in an instant. Then what left of the cavalry was just one level 7 and a level 8.
Amil deactivated the stealth and looked at both of them with a crazy grin. The goblins furrowed their brows looking at a level 6 kobold weaker than them, it didn't feel like Amil was level 6 due to his ferocious aura and a tinge of red in his eyes showing his pure bloodlust.
"GURRACHH!" The level 7 went to Amil with a battle cry, an orange aura around its fists.
Amil looked at the fists and his grin became bigger. Seeing a new type of skill being used on him gave him the thrill again. He connected those fists with his, in hand-to-hand combat. The hobgoblin was dumbfounded as his fiery fists were not doing anything to him but unknown to him, it had already broken Amil's one finger, but the adrenaline and the pain resistance passive helped a lot.
'Sigh…this is going nowhere…' He thought as he gave a kick on the gut of the hobgoblin with his iron nails activated. The nails went inside the flesh cleanly without resistance. He didn't stop the kick, adding more power to it, the kick went forward, and the nails came out while tearing the skin.
The goblin whimpered with his hands on the gut looking at the ounces of blood coming out of it. Amil finally felt some pity and went for the last slash to the head but alas the level 8 was not waiting. It punched Amil in the shoulder making him blow upwards and with a bang hit a tree.
"Arggh…Fuck!" He looked at the level 8 activating the fire aura on the hand and directly put it at the cut on the gut of the hobgoblin. It screamed in pain from the burning sensation but didn't retaliate. The level 8 pulled back the hand seeing the now burning black wound with tinges of the skin scraping out, just that the blood was not coming out now.
It snorted and looked at Amil with confidence, Amil smirked in response. It seems he will get a better opponent to satiate his battle lust.
