Curis came out of the cave and saw a pathway that leads to the Goblin hideout and start to walk towards the hideout.
Arriving near the hideout, Curis spots two tower standing at the entrance and there were goblin archers standing on guard.
Drinking one of the invisibility potion he bought and stealthy enters the hideout, scouting around the hideout, Curis spots where the remaining survivors were kept and it is located at the back side of the hideout.
"Kieek, fresh human meat, hungry," said of the goblin soldiers standing on guard at the door entrance while drooling.
"Kieek, stop it, you get caught, the leader won't will kill you," said the other goblin soldier.
" Kieek, but me hungry," said the first goblin soldier as he turns to his partner only to find see him dead with his heart been stabbed.
" Kieek, who...." the goblin soldier couldn't finish his sentence before Curis stabs his heart.
The survivors were surprised to see the goblin soldiers fall one after the other so they were on alert as it could be another monster.
Curis came out of the invisibility spell and reveal himself to the survivors who were surprised to see a human in the den of Goblins.
Seeing Curis, the survivors were relieved and rushed towards Curis thanking him for saving them.
"Thank you adventurer, we are very grateful. We thought we were going to die here but we didn't expect that we will be saved," said an elderly woman.
Curis nods to the woman's word and looks at the survivors only to see that they are all female and not a single male is among them, then he suddenly remembered that the survivors he saved in the cave were all male and no female at all.
"Is this everyone, or is there others that are kept somewhere else?" asked Curis towards the elderly woman.
"There is no one else anywhere just us," said the elderly woman in a sad tone.
"Ok, before we get out here I have something to do first so please wait for me for a while and I will be back," said Curis to the elderly woman.
"Ok, we will wait for you but don't be late as the patrol guards usually check on us every hour to report back to the Goblin Centurion," said the elderly woman.
" Okay understood," said Curis as he left the survivors in the cell.
Curis brought out the explosives he got from Babatunde and think about where should he place them and suddenly he left for the center of the hideout where the Goblin Centurion is and place one by his camp. After placing one of the explosives there, he left to place it in the four edges of the camp.
He placed one at the cell and brought the survivors out of there and sneakily bring them out of the hideout but he was not fortunate enough as he was seen by a goblin patrol soldier who was patrolling around the hideout but before the goblin soldier could call out for reinforcement, Curis killed him.

The survivors were scared as they were afraid of being caught again by the goblins. Noticing the risk of been seen, Curis brought out 5 invisibility potion and gave it to the elderly woman.
"Share it amongst yourself so that it will be easy to escape the hideout," said Curis.
"What is this?" asked the elderly woman.
"It is an invisibility potion," said Curis in low voice.
" Ok, thank you," said the elderly woman to which Curis nods.
After distributing the potion between everyone, Curis gesture for everyone to follow him as he leds them out of the hideout.
Outside the hideout, Curis tell everyone to hide as he still has a mission to complete.
" Now that you are all out of the hideout, hide behind that giant rock and wait for me to come, i still have something to do in the hideout," said Curis to the elderly woman.
" What are you going to do in the hideout, it is dangerous for only you to face them," said the elderly woman as she gets what he was going to do in the hideout.
" Don't worry about me and stay hidden, if I am not back after one hour, head to the village of Iraye-Oke," said Curis to the elderly woman as he walks back to the hideout.
As Curis runs back to the hideout, he saw that the goblins have noticed the disappearance of the survivors. Seeing this, Curis puts his plan into action and detonate the explosives he placed around the hideout.
Boom boom boom boom boom
Explosions occured the hideout killing numerous goblin soldiers and causing chaos in the hideout.

Seeing how much he has grown, Curis was confident enough to face the Goblin Centurion, so he head into the camp.
Inside the hideout, the Goblin Centurion was furious to see the damage caused to the hideout as he come out of the rubbles of his camp as Curis has placed an explosive there.
Looking around, the Goblin Centurion spots Curis who is killing the remaining goblins, seeing the intruder,the Goblin Centurion was enraged and rushed towards Curis.
Curis saw the Centurion running towards him,so he prepared his longsword to attack the Centurion. Arriving in front of Curis, the Centurion delivered a heavy blow with his scimitar sending him flying.

'That was huge damage output, it hurts a lot' though Curis as he stands back up to defend the incoming attack.
"Kieek, Human, I will kill you today," shouted the Goblin Centurion.
"You will have to try harder than this to defeat him," said Curis.
The battle continues for over 15 minutes, Curis has brought the Centurion health down to 10 percent making it enter the berserk stage.

Curis brought out his short sword and decides to go dual wielding even he never done it before, so he rushes towards the Goblin Centurion and hit him with the Longsword first to which the Goblin Centurion blocked it and slash him with the short sword across the chest knocking him back.
-30 HP:170/2000
Seeing the low damage, Curis was surprised and decides to prolong the fight as the Berserk skill will have a time limit so he will finish the Goblin Centurion when it is weakened.
The Goblin Centurion also noticed what Curis was doing which make him more enraged and swing his scimitar without aim. Seeing how the Goblin Centurion, Curis carefully avoids the attack and slash the Centurion occasionally as he doesn't want to get caught in the mindless attack of the Centurion.
After 5 minutes, the Berserk skill went off and the Centurion was weakened. Seeing this,Curis deals the final attack to finish off the Goblin Centurion.

Seeing the description of the items, Curis was surprised by their effects but keep the map away and equips the ring. Looking around the camp for surviving goblins but couldn't find any left, Curis place the remaining explosives around the hideout and left.
Arriving at the giant rock, Curis called out for the survivors to come out from their hiding spot. Looking around, the survivors came out one by one and look at Curis with surprise as they did not expect Curis to able to defeat the Goblin Centurion.
"Now let go back to the village," said Curis as he leads them to the village. Curis suddenly looks back at the hideout and press the explosive button and bring down the entire hideout.
