Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 – Humanity

I wiped my eyes from the eye dirt, until I saw... Tenji who was bald, bright green and had one fang suddenly had dark red hair, dark green and two fangs...

「 Y-You Evolved!?」

Wow, the results of the hunt we did yesterday turned out to make Tenji fulfil his Evolutionary Requirements...

〔 Report 〕

〔 Individual Tenji Has Become a Hobgoblin 〕

Well, that one doesn't need to be told anyway...

「 Hey Jin, I want to try it now」 Tenji

「 Try what?」

「 My power」 Tenji

...

After that the two of us went to the Field in the Village, the usual gathering place of the Adult Goblins Exploration Squad...

Using each other's bare hands because the goal was to try Tenji's physique, but in a flash I realised... Tenji is more muscular than I thought!

「 I Strike First! Jin!」

Tenji jumped quickly to Jin's face and launched a heavy punch towards Jin's face, it was blocked by his hand but...

「 Wait wait wait, this punch isn't too strong!」

That one punch instantly knocked me back a few steps...

He's coming!

Thump!

Thump!

Bek!

Two Heavy Punches went into Jin's Right Body, and a Fierce Kick went into Jin's exposed Body... His stomach!

「 Tch... Cuih!」

I was forced to spit out blood from my throat, that kick... Destroyed one of my bones at least...

「 Kuhuhuhu, you're great, TENJI!」

For some reason, something inside me rose up... it felt like I saw a chicken noodle vendor pass by in front of my house...

It's like a desire that I need to fulfil every time... This hunger!

「 My turn! TENJI!」

Using Close Dash, I quickly closed the distance between me and Tenji.

Tenji tried to deliver a punch to me, but once again... Close Dash makes me dodge him quickly and get slightly out of his range...

I jumped up, put one foot on his neck and the other on his chest, that's right... this is the ARM BAR! I've seen so many times in broadcasts...

Locking his hands by holding him down with both my hands and keeping his body away with my legs.

But I don't intend to risk the next Hunt, I don't dislocate the Arm, Release the Lock.. I Kick Tenji Hard in the Face...

Pushing myself away from Tenji, I close in with a Close Dash and hit several weak points that I know of, such as the jaw, temple, and ribs.

Leaving Tenji to defend against me, he tried to smash his fist again but it was predictable because Tenji's personality that I have observed so far is that he doesn't want to lose!...

We fought for some time until Tenji fell asleep in the empty field and I went back to my cave and slept there...

[ Day 34 ]

I didn't expect it, I deliberately didn't take the fight that seriously at midnight. Because I didn't want to risk the hunt this morning, but what is this?! It's raining!

I guess I can't go against the will of nature, according to Grandpa Ohji who I asked earlier, they forbade the hunt until the rain was over for reasons that opened up new knowledge in my physiology...

It turns out that there is an evolution of goblins that differs from the general evolutionary path, which is called a 'deviant'.

The general evolution itself is like Goblin > Hobgoblin > Oard > Oni ... Sometimes there is Deviant Evolution which is considered a Variable in the Evolutionary Chain of course, even so to achieve evolution it requires fulfilling conditions / completing strange achievements that are not natural ...

After thinking things over, I returned to the previous spoils cave to look around for materials...

Yes, I felt that the spear that was previously obtained from the kobold was very bad, the blade was not forged, the wooden handle was just a wooden stick that was made carelessly that would risk hunting because of poor equipment...

I fixed it by attaching a kind of sticky liquid that I found in the cave, embedding the sharp raw stone with a kind of nail to the wooden rod, tying a rope to the wooden rod to make it more sturdy.

Until in the afternoon, the rains began, and it seemed that Haku and Tenji had already prepared, while Kanami was still busy reading a book in her cave room...

We set out from the village together with several hunting groups that I made some time ago, it seems that in hunting they are the same caliber as my group.

We moved south, passing dozens of rabbits as we watched them. I said I heard moaning from the south...

Until after a few minutes of running, we found a group of people who seemed to be adventurers escorting a train and a merchant being attacked by some kind of large spider... and how many legs was that?!

〔 Permission to Answer Master 〕

〔 What you're referring to is the Eight-Legged Spider 〕

〔 The Demonoid Subject who is able to create and manipulate hard steel threads which is the result of the Subject's [Metal Thread Creation] Skill 〕

I was going to have pity, but when the Spider destroyed the roof of the wooden carriage, there was no more pity in my head...

The destruction of the roof showed several creatures with chains and straps around their necks, scratches everywhere, and thin bodies as if they hadn't been fed...

「 Jin」 Kanami, Tenji & Haku...

「 Yes, I know」

「 I'll let you guys finish off the spider, for the adventurers, I'll 'take care' of it. 」

We'll divide up the tasks, let the three of them be busy taking out that human-sized spider and I'll take care of this human-shaped demon!

「 Asshole! Hobgoblin! You're thinking of blocking our way?!」」 Swordman

This guy, he's lost his mind already huh? His friend who was carrying the Great Shield was already tied to the tree and couldn't let go...

Fwosh!

The Swordman moved quickly towards me, shouting... [Rapid Step]!

Moving three times in a row, while slashing in three different directions, downwards, sideways and sideways...

Of course it was so fast, it felt like it happened in the blink of an eye, but the threat wasn't just that, as long as the Swordman was moving towards me I had to watch the direction of the palm-sized ice bullets shot by the witch behind him...

Moving Quickly with [ Close Dash ] balances him in Speed but I seem to have won one Fatal Aspect of this Swordman, that is... Pure Power!

Clashing Attacks, time and time again will not make either side win. That's why I immediately suppressed his Physique with my Physical Strength, making him no longer able to push and swing his sword... My spear is ready in my left hand while my right hand holds the Swordman's sword motionless, letting the Ice Bullet aim at me because I just need to hide behind the Swordman's body to make the victory more favorable to me...

It looks like the Witch Woman is in shock because four of her Ice Bullets are stuck in her partner's back and my Spear has pierced her body from her partner's ribs to her own body...

Yes! Easy Peasy!
