Chapter 19 - First Kill

Looking at the goblins figure rushing idiotically straight at her, Sheila shook her head. Even though it was cunning up until now, it becomes idiot once it saw her. The cause of it must have been the lore; Goblin loves a female human.

If Sheila were an ordinary girl, her fate would have been worse than that of death. 1 But the current her aren't in any way can be said 'normal'. When the goblin swings its club at her, Sheila avoids it by stepping to the side and sent out a kick afterwards.

"Gugaa!"

The goblin g.r.o.a.n.e.d from the kick it received which awoken it from its idiotic act. It realised how dumb its action had been when it saw the first human female in this weird place. The prey it has hunted back then as food, all of them have never injured or hurt it with their little strength.

It could tell this human female is no way weaker than it. The sixth sense that it had ignored before was still alarming it to get away from her immediately. But it couldn't; even when it regained itself, it couldn't ignore the human female in front of it.

The d.e.s.i.r.e of making the strong human female in front of it into its plaything actively burn inside it. It wonders what would this strong female do when it lost and what kind of expression would it make once that happened.

"Gagaga!"

The expression on the ugly goblin's face was that of a sneer as it laughed. Sheila frowned and decided to head up to beat it.

When she was in reality, she couldn't summon anything from the inventory with just the thought. She had to open the app on her phone and clicked on the inventory function to browse or bring out the item from inside. If she was inside the Trial Dungeon, all she had to do was give it a thought, and a knife will be in her hand, ready to be a swing for slaughter.

Sheila sent out another kick toward the goblin, as the goblin used the cub and managed to defend against it. It laughed when it safely defend against her kick. But the moment it laughed, it let its guard down and was immediately punched by her on the face and blood splattered.

"GUGA!"

The goblin roared in pain as it swings its club around in madness as if hoping that one of its attacks would hit Sheila. But it would be disappointed as Sheila have already moved away the moment she punched.

"One punch is not enough, huh."

Sheila had initially thought that the goblin strength was on the same page as an a.d.u.l.t man, but she was wrong. If it were a normal a.d.u.l.t man that getting her punched, they would have been out unconscious. It seemed that the goblin in front of her is stronger than an a.d.u.l.t man, yet because of its cautious nature, it didn't actively attack people, which makes her thought that it is weaker.

"Gaga!"

The goblin roared and rushed at her again. When the goblin swings the club, she dodges to the side and sent out a kick— but before she could do that, she vomits a mouthful of blood.

"Guh!"

Sheila immediately gets away from the goblin while wiping the blood on her mouth. The goblin had managed to agilely kick her in the stomach right after it swings the club. She could still feel her stomach grumble in pain from the kick. Thankfully, it was not as strong to the point her rib would break from it.

"Thankfully, I saved one health potion in my pocket just in case of anything happening."

Sheila muttered and pulled out the health potion from her pocket before opening the seal and gulped it down her throat. She had thought the health potion would taste disgusting just like the novel she had read once, but it's not. It tastes kind of sweet, and she would love to drink it anytime just for the taste.

After drinking the health potion, she could feel the pain leaving her and welcome the blissful feeling afterwards. But before she could fully enjoy the feeling of getting heal, the goblin attacks her by swinging its dirty cub at her. Sheila agilely avoids it with the movement she learned from the Swordsmanship Skill before sending out a punch right back to its stomach.

"Gagu!"

Now it's goblin turn to vomit a mouthful of blood which splattered onto the ground. Without waiting further, Sheila sent out tons of punch onto the goblin's ugly face. The goblin could do nothing but to take the hit without being able to defend due to how fast the punch coming right after. The club eventually slipped from its hand.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

When Sheila pulled back after a countless amount of punch, she could see how terrible the goblin's face had become. It was ugly but now with blood splattered all over including bruises. The current goblin state was unconscious, yet it is still softly m.o.a.ning in pain.

"I guess my b.a.r.e fist is not enough, huh."

Sheila muttered when she looked at the goblin's bloody face and the bruises all over its body. She had thought it was enough to kill the goblin after all of that. She shrugged her shoulders before taking out her phone from the pocket.

"...I forgot to put this kitchen knife back to its place. I will do that later."

Sheila reminds herself as she held onto the kitchen knife. Stab! The kitchen knife stabbed right onto the goblin's heart, and it stopped breathing once and for all.

"Fuh~."

She breathes out of relief and put the kitchen knife back into inventory. When she looked back at the corpse of a goblin, she feels an urge to puke swell inside her stomach. But thankfully she managed to endure it with her strong will. Sheila's pretty face grimaced as she looked at her two bloody hands which have been splattered from the goblin's blood through the stab and countless punches.

These two bloody hands had killed a living being. Although the goblin was categorised as a monster, it is nonetheless a living being just like her. But it couldn't be helped. If she didn't kill the goblin, she would face something more terrible than actual death. Although she didn't know where this goblin came from, she still could feel a foreboding danger a miles away.

"The corpse didn't disappear, huh?"

This is a reality, after all. She had thought the corpse would disappear like those in-game replaced with loot dropped from it. Perhaps, putting it in inventory might work?

"Oh! It entered!"

The corpse disappeared the moment she put the phone in front of it.

『 Inventory:

— (Low Grade)Health Potion x9

— Goblin's Corpse 』

"Uhh..."

Uh-oh , the man who was beaten up by the goblin is starting to wake up. Sheila decided it's time for her to take a leave. CoughGoblinSlayerCough
