He had the poor goblin upside down on the branch of a tree, using the fella as a bait to attract monsters and beasts alike.
[You certainly are a bit twisted in the head. Such cruelty, but I like it.]
She had already expected him to do something as cruel as this, he might be a hero before, but that was 'before' after being betrayed and have his ego suppressed for hundreds of years his personality changed a bit.
Yeah, only a bit because no matter how long time passes by he is still himself, whether he regresses to a child or becomes a demon lord instead of a hero, he is himself, this is one of the characteristics why Starlight referred to him as an anomaly.
For someone ego and will to be this strong and unbreakable it isn't normal at all.
Moreover, after what he had gone through.
"Said by an ancient trillion years old grandma."
He replied, teasing Tina.
He is currently atop a tree observing the situation not too far but not too close to where the poor goblin is being hanged so that he can respond quickly to any changes in the situation.
[I ain't your grandma little boy, I'm your big sister.]
Tina replied, trying to light up the mood a bit.
"Yeah, yeah."
[So you're just going to wait until someone or something took the bait?]
She asked.
"That's the plan all along…"
He stopped halfway in his words, noticing the movements around fifty meters to his left.
His gaze focused on the area where the disturbance is happening, awaiting what creature or whatnot had taken his bait.
Seconds passed by, a wolf came out from the bush, this wolf is a bit strange, wounds were present in every part of its body, it's clearly wounded but the ferociousness it displays didn't waver a bit.
[Is this your luck playing its power.]
Tina couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What do you mean, big sis?"
He asked, confused.
[This shadow wolf is a level 4 alpha beast, a pack leader, in normal circumstances you don't have a chance of defeating it with your current statistics.
However, right now, it's heavily wounded, your chances of winning are more than 50% based on my estimation.]
"A level four alpha beast, ha. Let's see how it tastes like."
[Are you for real, that's what's in your mind right now.]
[Be careful even if it is wounded, it can still use its abilities, a single mistake could cost your life.]
"You worry too much, I can handle this, if I die, then I die that's it.
I am not really into excuses, so just bear with it."
The beast stood before the pool of blood that came from the tiny wound on the wrist of the hanged goblin.
It looks up, it's gaze meeting, the gaze of the poor goblin.
Directly feeling the pressuring bloodlust the beast before it is emanating the goblin couldn't help but shivered instinctively out of fright.
It squirmed all around trying to untie itself from the binding that put it in this situation.
Unfortunately for the poor goblin, the beast before it didn't give a damn about its circumstances, a meal is a meal in its eyes, it jumps high trying to reach the poor goblin.
Moreover, now that it is heavily wounded it needed nutrients to recover its strength, discovering a tied low-level creature just after its escape is a heaven sent to the wolf's eyes.
Just as the beast's jaw was nearing the poor goblins head a shadowy figure appears out of nowhere aiming for the beast neck for a kill.
The beast's instincts kick in, it was forced to ignore the free meal that a bait in front of it, twisting its body trying to dodge the sneak attack that could be lethal if it successfully hit.
Not expecting the beast before it to do such drastic action the shadowy figure was forced to adapt in the situation.
He grab the poor goblin's hanging bloody wrist using it to pull it's body to climb the tree.
He did some strange acrobatic movements, his foot planted upside down on one of the sturdy branches, allocating most of his force towards his feet and legs before doing a hard kick that broke the sturdy branch the shadowy figure shot forth like a high-speed cannonball to the descending beast.
The falling beast still midair eyes bulge in disbelieve as it stare at the closing shadowy figure, its instincts scream of danger, but the beast couldn't do much in this situation except allocating most of its energies to its vital spots trying to avoid receiving a heavy blow.
A katana appeared in his hand, it came from the inventory, one of the four cubes he had noticed earlier, it is one of the free starter packages gifted to him by the concept of karma utilizing the [Heart Of Reality] to convert the karmic points into an item.

Unexpectedly, instead of attacking the wide open vital spots, he instead targets the beast's legs and armpit.
*Slash*
It all happened in less than a second, something that shouldn't have been achievable by any mere level 0 individual.
However, this level 0 here isn't your any common mere level 0.
He is a level 0 who's also a heavenly saint in multiple arts, if it weren't for his lacking physical body which suppressed his current prowess to that of an early-stage master, killing millions of such beast can be achieved by a mere thought.
He dropped first to the ground in a graceful and elegant manner, as if he didn't just cut someone else limbs moments ago.
The beast still midair haul in pain having been attack, the sword cut through its limbs without much of a resistance due to the beast's previous action of allocating most of its internal energies to its vital spots.
Kanzen's mastery over the sword even though his mastery realm is suppressed to the point of an early stage master level isn't something to be scoffed off.
Most strong people in this world are at master level in terms of mastery, only a few manage to break through the upper level threshold.
The wolf race beast dropped to the ground with a strong thud, it squirmed around trying to move but unable to do so as blood gushed out from the cut limbs as it is now crippled.
"This is the problem with intelligent creatures, they focus too much on their vital spots during dire situations, afraid of being taken down, forgetting the fact that one needs their limbs to even retaliate if they desire to survive."
He muttered in a low voice as he slowly walked closer to the now bloody crippled beast.
[Stop it, your words do more damages compare to your attacks, you were just cunning and that's it there's no need to rub salt on the wounds you know.]
Tina said, while giggling and chuckling.
"So, this is an alpha type beast, isn't it so weak or it just that the wounds it sustained before clashing with me is too severe, or probably, I'm just that great~."
He said, acting proud to himself as if he had just uncovered the most precious thing in all existence.
[Stop it will you, now you're just being a narcissist.]
Tina muttered, a headache is brewing in her mind.
