"The life of a loved one was taken in front of him... That sorrow awakened the power of the hero whose deep anger had been dormant... Is it something like that?"
The light dissipated and the being that stood at the front was a goblin, 'It's height has changed back to that of a normal human...'
However, its body was covered with different types of dark green scales moreover it was even provided with tough golden-colored armor and carried a sword that seemed to radiate an enormous amount of mana.
Apparently, in the case of monsters, equipment is also given as standard when evolving, which is a good deal.
'In the case of us humans, we have to procure weapons ourselves..'.
Well, in my case, the equipment is prepared with funds provided by the duke family, so the conditions may not change much.
'I couldn't believe I could meet a goblin hero in a place like this. I am so lucky!!'
Goblin Hero...in other words, he was the hero of the goblin race.
In the game setting, it is a unique monster that appears with an ultra-low probability, like a skeleton hero or an orc hero, and each monster race has a strong individual called a hero.
'The best example would be Lacqurez, he is the hero of humanity after all.'
On the foremost reason why I liked these hero monsters is that you get to keep the equipment they have and the title known as [Hero Killer].
'It's absolutely overpowered!!!"
"You...why kill Ana, she was...sweet! Why kill??"
I didn't speak because I already know this bastard had something prepared the moment I let my guard down thinking he is just conversing, 'After all I had confronted several goblin heroes in the game.'
"Hey, YOOU! I am the villain, Ares soulteraut, of course, isn't it my job to confront the hero!! EARTH PRISON"
His saber was fast and precise enough that before my spell could hit the ground it was slashed into 2 halves, "I, hero...will lead the race, MY RACE!!!!!!!!"
"Yea, come at me if you are the hero...I AM THE VILLAIN!!"
"Haste. Fast hands. Force shield."
It's speed wasn't something I had faced before but coupled with haste and fast hands I was able to dodge the heavy blow coming to me in the front.
"Ah, shit you killed my horse."
My companion looked at me with dreaded eyes but I felt nothing almost as if I have lost a part of my humanity, 'I wonder if it's because of the title: Killer.'
"Kill, you die."
I rose my shield and blocked the the next attack and the opening appeared itself for my counter, "You are so dead Water lance! Ice missile!"
The goblin hero not only deflected my spells it also rushed back instantly after dodging and with a single totally shattered my force shield into pieces.
'Shit, this is getting tough. The time taken to cast another force shield will 40 sec, I will have fight him till that while maintaining some distance.'
Instanly reading the situation I made distance large enough between me and the hero, the greeny monster obviously taunted me and as if I fell into it's trap my actions perfectly synced with it's.
'Hehe, the stupid monster you dare to play a battle of wits against me?'
"You fell, plan success."
Sensing my position which was comfortable enough for it to kill me the goblin hero bolted ferociously with its saber roaring forward in full force.
"Hey, you dumbass! who said I can only deal damage by getting close enough to you, I am a mage you see, Create Hole!"
After casting my last spell I quickly rolled back so as to not get caught up with the pit the monster obviously looked dumbfounded at my actions but it was too late for him to make any changes, "Hole?" it said.
"Kuahhh!!"
The scream was desperate as it fell into the five-foot pit that appeared out of nowhere as I went near the place only despair could be seen on its face, "You are no different, goblin hero or whatsoever."
"Human, dirty."
"Just go and reconcile with your lover. Ice missile! Ice missile! Ice missile!"
My repetitive missile pierced into the goblin hero although he defected some since his movements were restrained he eventually got injured with many ice missiles and died a helpless death.
[You have earned a title [Hero Slayer I]
[The spell: Ice missile has been promoted from E+ rank to D rank]
'This is good harvest.'
"Rope."
Bringing out the rope my storage ring, I descended into the pit and scavenged the armour and saber from the goblin hero.
'The saber is light weighing and has sharp edges too, this definetly a high class equipment!'
I swung it here and there and as excepted I had no talent for something like this, 'Well, let's keep it for now, I will decide to sell and or gift you to someone in the future.'
As I took up the armour it was alreadu severly damaged from my spells ans several holes could be visibly seen that was made from my ice missile, "Let's reapair it in some blacksmith shop."
Coming to last part it was plucking his eyes coupled with that a skin of goblin hero is rare material so I had peel it off too, 'I really don't want to do this however, a hero species material is rare.'
I sat down and grabed his scales with my dagger carefully as to not stain my colthes in the process.
'If he was just a little bit more intellegent I would have been dead by now.'
After consuming a healing potion my mild injuries and burshies disappered slowly and it was time to bid farewell to my horse, "Thanks for your sacrifice horsey. Although we had little time together it was sweet time."
I burned it's body using fireball then departed from the scence to the village again.
