Such a weak skill. It's a disappointment! He looked at the goblin he was choking. And hell, the goblin was grinning at him mockingly.
What a humiliation!
Dylan tried to exert more strength. Unfortunately, the goblin raised his hands and clutched his hands, trying to remove Dylan's grip on his neck.
'Damn it. I don't have an advantage in terms of strength.' Dylan cursed inwardly as he felt his grip on the goblin's neck loosening every second as the goblin went full force on trying to remove his hand.
'Probe!'
...
Name: N/A
Race: Goblin
Level 6
Profession: N/A
Danger: Moderate
...
Dylan didn't have a choice but to remove his grip on the target's neck as he saw a fast-approaching green silhouette in his peripheral vision.
He tried to sidestep, but it was too late. He felt a tremendous blunt force in his ribs, along with excruciating pain. Dylan was pushed back with his back hitting a tree. The hardwood and its impact on his back produce a loud bang that made Dylan grunt in pain.
'It hurts!'
Dylan didn't have time to process the sensation of pain as he saw the assailant charge him again with a large wooden mace the size of a toddler.
'Probe!'
...
Name: N/A
Race: Goblin
Level 8
Profession: N/A
Danger: Moderately High
...
Dylan gritted his teeth. 'So it's level 8 that's why it's faster than me. The attack on my ribs did a lot of harm. It's time to get serious.'
In anger, a burst of steam came out from every pore of Dylan, which made him feel empowered and confident. However, when he felt his rapidly depleting mana, he decided to kill as many goblins as possible!
He lunged towards the level 8 goblin that launched a sneak attack on him earlier. It's to pay!
It took seven steps before Dylan reached the opponent. As a response, the goblin revealed a shit-eating grin.
"You have the guts to smile, you ugly piece of art."
The goblin attacked Dylan with its mace intending to pommel him to death. It let out maniacal laughter as it already imagined Dylan's head caving in under his fierce onslaught
Dylan observed the path of the mace and knew he wouldn't be able to dodge it normally. Yes, normally!
Fly!
With the skill activation, Dylan's body became almost weightless due to the 10x effect of the fly skill to make his body significantly lighter. Like a feather, Dylan gracefully somersaulted to Dodge. Although it's this flashy move wasn't really necessary to evade the attack, what's more important is looking cool, right?
With a backflip, Dylan dodged a fist. It was fist of another goblin that was waiting for an opportunity for a long time but the goblin didn't expect Dylan to move like an acrobat. All of this is only possible due to Fly Skill!
Although it failed its original effect of flying. What is the concept of making the body 10x lighter? Coupled with 20 AGI, Dylan had already surpassed the Legendary Olympic Gymnasts Gold Medalists Carlos Yulo and Simone Biles in his past life.
Of course, he couldn't move as gracefully as them due to differences in skill. But it was enough for him to make difficult movements that weren't normally possible.
Dylan, who appeared behind the goblin, didn't wait for it to turn around and hit him again with its mace.
'I can only maintain the Fly skill and Fire body for another 20 seconds before my mana runs out. I need to kill as much as possible!'
Dylan threw a punch in a hurry, aimed at the upper back of the green goblin.
KEEKKK!!.
[+150 exp!]
A shriek came out. The goblin saw a fist come out of its chest. Dylan was astonished as he pulled his steamed-covered fist back. He looked at the body of the goblin that had a fist-sized hole on its back. He could even see the view through the hole to the other side.
'I didn't expect the lethality of my steam-covered fist to be this great. Just damn, I made a donut out of him.'
Dylan smirked. Following that, Dylan, in the next few seconds, made a donut holes to goblins he faces; his steam-covered fist proved to be lethal as it effortlessly went through the bodies of goblins. Dylan couldn't help it. His mana could only last shortly.
Kenjaku, who was being protected by both Kevin and Hank, observed Dylan versus goblins and calmly praised him. "Damn, he has a swag to himself. He could do multiple flips in the air and dodge with his light body. This Dylan kid, although his body isn't strong, the help of his hot steam made his fist and kicks not inferior to a weapon. His body is the weapon itself."
Kevin and Hank were busy fighting goblins around. Hank was punched in the shoulder, while Kevin was almost impaled with a sword
Kevin couldn't help but curse: "That's too close. Ken! If you're not going to help, can you at least give us your tactics instead of yapping about the newcome??"
"We get it. He's fucking amazing, okay?"
"Well, just stick together. These goblins are ferocious. You might want to counter-attack. They're not that great at fighting with their swords."
Kenjaku responded sarcastically. As a demonstration, he waited for a goblin to slash its sword at him. Kenjaku lunged forward to meet the sword, but he sidestepped at the last second. The sword grazed his cheek lightly, and a seep of blood came out. However, Kenjaku has a cold and calculating expression. Everything is timed.
Two daggers appeared on his hands. Kenjaku's dagger released a short burst of dazzling white light blinding the goblin. In the end, the goblin's head rolled to the ground.
"See?"
Hank and Kevin looked at each other helplessly. This bastard was showing off again!
Upset, Kevin roared, the saber in his hands that was about to meet the sword of the goblin strangely changed direction and performed an arc. The arms of the goblin slid off its body and fell with a loud sound.
Hank cooperated and took the opportunity to send a devastating blow to the armless goblin with his axe. With a swift slash, the axe neatly divided the goblin into two.
Although the battle seems to be in the favor of Dylan's group. It's actually not. The strength of goblins lies not individually but collectively!
As time went by, even Orochi and the Savage Deer were growing exhausted. Orochi felt that he wouldn't be able to maintain mana consumption. He needs to level up to recover his mana in full, but he needs to kill another 17 goblins to do that. Unfortunately, the remaining mana on his body won't be able to help him with that.
The Savage Deer'e body was filled with numerous wounds because of its brutal fighting style. An injury for injury. Though it managed to level up to 9, it was now at its limit.
Dylan, who ran out of mana, quickly retreated behind Hank and Kevin. "This isn't looking good... Even though I leveled up to ten, recovered my full mana four times, and drank my mana potions. In the end, I only lasted two minutes and killed 21 goblins.
Fuck! There's still hundreds of them!"
Fortunately, he's not without gains. Due to him reaching level 10, he could finally split his soul again!
