Ever since they started fighting these elite goblins, Link had always felt like someone was staring at them from the shadows. And when the other two girls were busy facing the monsters, Link was trying to locate the leader of the Goblin party. But he failed to find the leader.
But he noticed something strange when Goblins formation was in panic due to combined efforts of Link and Yumi. Link heard a low roar coming from the distance which caused goblins to gain clarity.
So Link was sure that Leader was either an assassin or a mage with conceal ability. That is why Link made a decision to use himself as bait. That is why Link was happy when he was ambushed.
"Finally found you." Link said with a smile. It's very hard to face a hidden enemy that is why Link needed for it to reveal itself.
Goblin assassin was very surprised to find out that he missed his prey.
[Night Ranger] (Special Elite)
Level 4
HP 5458/5500
Link didn't waste time and reached out for a low level tracking amulet which was picked up by him in the undead plane. Link used the Amulet on the Night ranger. Now Link could sense its position even after night ranger went into shadow form.
Link conjured a massive blast spell and casted it in that direction of concealed night ranger. Even though assassins are best when it comes to ambush but in defense they are one of the weakest classes. So it was impossible for Night rager to come out of the fire without being injured.
Soon massive damages started piling on the assassin. But Link didn't drop his guards and started conjuring a second blast spell.
After being hit multiple times by Link, the assassin also figured out its situation. So It stopped hiding and directly started attacking Link.
Link didn't underestimate its attack and he used a Bone Armor spell on himself to increase his defense. NIght ranger also started attacking the shield violently. He brandished his knives like a gale, engulfing Link.
Link thought for a second and took out multiple f-class explosive amulets. He upgraded them to e-level through the Amplification module.
Just as the shield was on the verge of cracking, Link used multiple explosive amulets on the Night Ranger and finished off the Night Ranger.
Link conveniently picked up the two items that dropped and ran towards Yumi and Maggie's location to provide help.
By the time Link returned to the party, Yumi and Maggie had already killed half of the goblins. So when Link joined the attack with them, it became one sided massacre. In the absence of the leader, Goblins started to panic and their formation was broken.
It didn't take long for three of them to clear the remaining goblins. As soon as the last goblin was killed by Yumi, Both Yumi and Maggi let out a sigh of relief while their eyes showed a tinge of excitement. Well this was the most difficult hunt they have experienced till now.
Yumi was breathing heavily as sweat dripped from her forehead. Maggie took out a bottle of water from her backpack and gulped it down.
"I'm totally worn-out." Said Maggie, as she sat down on the ground.
Yumi also took out a water bottle while resting against a rock.
"What about leaders?" Asked Yumi after drinking water.
It took a while for Link to come back to his senses as he was lost in beautiful scenery presented by two girls.
"I killed it, it was an assassin." Link replied.
Yume was a bit surprised that Link was able to solo-kill the Leader of an Elite Goblin party. But if she thought about his past actions, it wasn't that much of a surprise.
"Elite monsters are really hard to face compared to normal monsters in the Undead Plane." Maggie said.
"Well they are far more intelligent compared to those skeletons. But it was a good experience for us. I have gained a lot from this fight. I can eliminate some of my weaknesses next time." Link said while nodding.
After resting for some time, they started to pick up all the loot dropped by goblins. Yumi distributed the loot among the three of them equally. Link also took out the two items dropped by night ranger.
First item was a spell book called [Maba bullet]. And the second one was a one handed e-level sword.
[Mana bullet] (f)
Description: Releases one mana bullet instantly causing 30 Hp damage to the target.
Cooldown: 5 Sec ]
[Crimson Sword] (e)
Type: One handed sword
Attack power: +21
Strength: +5
Agility: +5
Stamina: +3
Requirement: Strength 25 ]
Mana bullet was a low level spell book, it wasn't very famous in the outside world but Link could upgrade it to e-level. Link has already decided to increase spells in his arsenal so he will have more spell options while hunting in future.
But the one handed sword named Crimson Sword was a e-level sword. Even among e-level it should be one of the best. Link and Maggie both were incompatible with swords. Yumi was currently using a spear which was given to her as a basic equipment from family but she also liked to use swords. So the Crimson sword went to Yumi.
After facing this group of monsters Link's level upgrade to level-5.
After distributing loot, All three of them started hunting goblins. But even after wandering for another hour they couldn't find another special-elite or higher rank goblin. So they decided to end their hunting for today.
Soon three of them came back to the dimension hall.
"Yumi, let's go to eat something good. I'm starving." Maggie said just after exiting the dimensional hall.
"Well, I'm also peckish." Yumi said after hearing from Maggie.
"Ahh…My little mimi is tired." Maggie said with a smile.
Yumi's ears turned red after hearing Maggie call her Little mimi.
"Youuu….Stop calling me that!" Yumi said while gritting her teeth.
Maggie ignored her and turned towards Link, who was standing dumbfounded.
"Hey Link, do you want to join us? Let's go together." Maggie said to Link.
Link thought about it, it was already past midnight and he was feeling hungry after the hunt. He didn't prepare anything at home so he nodded to maggie and said "okay, where do you want to go?"
"Let me think about it." Maggie said as she took out her phone and started searching for a good restaurant in the area. Soon she found her target.
"Okay let's go to this one, 'Cake-Fake'." Maggie said.
Link and two girls hailed a taxi to the address mentioned on the network.
