"What the heck, why is there a Hob Goblin here? We're not too deep in the forest," Zero exclaimed with an annoyed look.

As the bullies attempted to attack Zero, they suddenly heard a sound coming from a nearby bush. Their aggressive stance ceased as they cautiously inquired, "Where is this sound coming from?" Soon, a Hob Goblin emerged from the bushes.

Fear and panic overwhelmed the bullies upon seeing the Hob Goblin. Zero warned them sternly, "Don't move, you morons."

Observing the situation, Zero realized that the Hob Goblin had likely lost its way and accidentally wandered close to the forest's edge. The bullies grew even more terrified as the creature approached.

"Keheke," the Hob Goblin laughed.

Seizing the opportunity, the bullies fled in the opposite direction of the Hob Goblin, leaving Zero and Naime behind. Despite the danger, Naime chose not to run, stating, "How could I run without you? You came to save me."

Zero, walking backward slowly, inquired, "Do you know about this monster?"

Naime replied with a shaking voice, "Yes, they are weak to magic."

Zero pondered his options, realizing he lacked any magical abilities. Nonetheless, he commanded Naime, "Whatever happens here, don't say anything about it to anyone, okay?"

With confidence, Naime affirmed, "Yes, I'll never say anything to anyone."

Taking out his sword from his inventory, Zero instructed Naime to hide while he faced the Hob Goblin alone. Naime quickly found shelter behind a rock.

Zero approached the Hob Goblin, clutching his sword tightly. Surprisingly, the Hob Goblin didn't flinch. Zero swung his sword at full speed, but the creature easily dodged the attack, showcasing impressive speed.

Attempting again and again, Zero couldn't land a hit on the agile Hob Goblin. Feeling perplexed, he decided to try a different strategy. Feigning an attack from above, Zero quickly redirected his sword to strike the Hob Goblin's body.

Hob Goblin attempted to dodge but couldn't avoid the attack entirely, resulting in a deep cut to his right side.

Enraged and in pain, the Hob Goblin retaliated with a swift attack. Zero attempted to block, but the Hob Goblin's speed overwhelmed him, and the attack landed, pushing Zero backward.

Hob Goblin again with his spare attacks zero.

Zero knows that he can't dough the attack because it's faster than him.

This time he aimed to Block the attack with his sword.

When Hob Gobline's attack going to land on him, he quickly draws his sword at the attack and successfully blocks it.

While blocking the attack, he saw that Hob Gobline was completely defenseless.

He quickly removed his left hand from the sword, and punch him so hard that Hob Goblin flew by the impact of the punch and hit a tree over there.

Zero took a quick breath while looking at the Hob Goblin.

Naime saw the way Zero was fighting while hiding behind that rock and he looked shocked by the fight.

" How can Zero fight like this, I've never seen anyone at this age fight like this, and we are the same age " with a shocked expression while hiding behind the Rock.

Zero glanced at the screen and muttered, "Man, level 33, and my attacks didn't deal much damage." He strategized while on guard.

The Hob Goblin lunged at Zero again with his spear, and Zero knew he couldn't dodge it due to its speed. Instead, he aimed to block the attack with his sword. As the Hob Goblin's attack approached, Zero swiftly drew his sword and successfully blocked it, leaving the Hob Goblin defenseless for a moment.

Seizing the opportunity, Zero removed his left hand from the sword and landed a powerful punch on the Hob Goblin, sending the creature flying into a nearby tree. Zero caught his breath, assessing the situation.

Naime, observing the intense fight from behind the rock, was shocked by Zero's prowess. He couldn't believe someone his age could fight like this.

Zero, still panting heavily, thought, "I punched him with my full force, but only 1% of his health went down. I need to find a way to deal more damage and slow him down."

As the Hob Goblin got up and readied his spear for another attack, Zero activated his Skill Rage and charged at the creature, their weapons clashing fiercely as they fought.

During the intense battle, Zero suddenly remembered his newly acquired title and its effects. He swiftly changed his title by saying, "Title Equip."

Hob Goblin screamed in pain, "Arkahakkkk."

Upon seeing the Hob Goblin's health decrease, Zero felt a glimmer of hope, thinking, "Nice, now I have a chance." His expression showed determination to continue the fight.

Hob Goblin glared at Zero with bloodshot eyes, fueled by anger and determination.

Zero, prepared for the next attack, tightened his grip on his sword as Hob Goblin lunged at him again, this time with an even faster and more aggressive strike.

Zero reacted swiftly, using his speed and agility to block the Hob Goblin's attacks. But with each passing moment, Zero sensed that the Hob Goblin was gaining speed and momentum with every strike.

"I can't let him get any faster; I need to end this quickly," Zero thought urgently, feeling the pressure mounting.

The relentless battle continued, but the Hob Goblin's relentless onslaught was taking a toll on Zero. He felt increasingly overwhelmed by the creature's speed and strength.

Zero knew he couldn't afford to let the Hob Goblin gain any more advantage. He needed to find an opening to strike back and finish the battle before he was completely overpowered.

In one swift and powerful attack from the Hob Goblin, Zero was knocked to the ground, his swords slipping from his grasp. The situation became dire as the Hob Goblin stood over him, a malicious grin on his face, preparing to deliver a final blow with his spear.

Zero's heart raced as he quickly assessed his options. He reached for his sword, lying just a few feet away, knowing he had to act fast to evade the incoming attack. As the spear came down, Zero managed to roll out of the way just in time, narrowly avoiding the fatal strike.

He swiftly retrieved his sword and leaped to his feet, refusing to back down. With renewed determination, he focused on the Hob Goblin's movements, searching for any weaknesses or patterns to exploit.

Zero lunged forward, his sword meeting the Hob Goblin's spear in a fierce clash. The two opponents locked in a battle of strength and willpower, neither willing to yield.

The fight continued with intense ferocity, and Zero knew he couldn't afford any mistakes. With every move, he grew more decisive, channeling the power of his title and the experience gained from previous battles.

The Hob Goblin, now visibly fatigued, began to falter under Zero's relentless assault. Sensing an opportunity, Zero launched a calculated strike, aimed precisely at a weak spot on the Hob Goblin's side.

The blade found its mark, and the Hob Goblin let out a bloodcurdling screech as he stumbled back, clutching the injured area.

As Zero finally vanquished the Hob Goblin, a sense of relief washed over him, but the intense battle had taken its toll. Exhausted and wounded, he collapsed to the ground.

Naime rushed over to Zero, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and relief, "You did it, we're alive!" He knelt by Zero's side, noticing the blood trickling from his mouth.

"Are you okay?" Naime asked, his eyes wide with concern.

Zero managed a weak nod and whispered, "I'm fine, just give me a moment."
