The protagonist took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself for the final confrontation. He had a plan, and he was confident it would work. With his upgraded swordsmanship and new Magic Bomb skill, he felt a sense of power and determination.
He began by making his way to the center of the village, where the goblins were concentrated. He could see them gathered around the village square, their eyes fixed on him with a mixture of fear and hatred.
The protagonist raised his hand, and a bright light burst forth, illuminating the surrounding area. The goblins shielded their eyes, momentarily blinded. In that instant, the protagonist cast his Magic Bomb skill, unleashing a blast of energy that sent the goblins flying.
The explosion was massive, sending debris flying everywhere. The protagonist took advantage of the chaos, charging forward with his sword flashing in the sunlight. He cut down goblin after goblin, his sword slicing through their defenses with ease.
As the dust settled, the protagonist saw that he had taken out a significant number of goblins. But there were still a few remaining, including the Goblin mage. The mage was standing off to the side, his eyes fixed on the protagonist with a malevolent glare.
The protagonist knew he had to take out the mage quickly, before he could cast any spells. He charged forward, his sword flashing in the sunlight. The mage raised his hand, casting a spell that sent a bolt of energy hurtling towards the protagonist.
But the protagonist was ready. He dodged the spell with ease, using his Maintainer's Eye skill to anticipate the mage's movements. He struck back, his sword slicing through the mage's defenses and striking true.
The Goblin mage let out a defeated cry, collapsing to the ground. The remaining goblins, realizing they were leaderless, began to flee in terror.
The protagonist stood victorious, his chest heaving with exhaustion. He had done it. He had defeated the goblins and rescued Thorne.
As he caught his breath, the system's voice echoed in his mind. "Congratulations, you have completed the quest to rescue Thorne. You have been rewarded with 100 MP.
