Chapter 29 The Hoard

hmm...

hmmm....

Everything is going wrong here.

I do not understand why monsters having the same appearance as me would be pointing their weapons at me.

It is like they were expecting me or something.

After I came down the stairs, the first thing i met with is them.

All wearing plated armors, putting on an angry face and forming a barricade with no way out.

They did not even give me the time to bask in the energy of arriving on a new floor.

Perhaps they are not here because of me?...

That may be a possibility.

Them armed with weapons and me arriving on this floor might be just a coincidence.

"...."

yeah right, like that makes sense.

But it also does not make any sense to think they were waiting for my arrival.

How did they know I was going to be here and especially at this timing.

"continuous chattering..."

I wonder what it is they are talking about?..

Even though I can hear them, I cannot seem to understand them.

It is like they are speaking gibberish.

[Ding]

[Racial Language of the Goblin learned]

Racial language?

Does that mean they are not speaking the general language of earth?

If so, how was I able to understand the dragon's language, and how was she able to understand me?.

"kill, kill him"

"no, no, no. The king said to capture not kill"

Wow...

Now I know they were waiting for me here on purpose.

They are contemplating on killing me or capturinge me.

Either of the choice does not sit right with me, that is why I will be fighting back full force.

Skill activation, dust Manipulation.

Skill activation, Detection.

Skill activation, Meta Strength.

I do not know why they want to capture me, but I am not just going to be standing there like a fool and let them do whatever they want to me.

[Ding]

[Goblins registered as an enemy]

[Cannibalism skill activated]

[all stats have risen by five percent].

Nice.

I charged at the Goblins blinded by the dust and started taking them down one by one.

They are in disarray at my sudden gust of wind blinding their eyes, so this is the best time for me to act.

With their vision taken and the confusion settling in, I was able to move closer to a goblin and stabbed it right in its chest with the thorn I produced from my hand.

I did not waste anytime as I quickly jumped over to the next Goblin and twisted its next with my bare hands.

I produced a thorn and threw it right at a goblin's forehead.

I did a backward flip and caught a goblin with my two legs wrapped around its waist and flipped it over on the ground, then went ahead to stab it with a thorn.

Damn this is so cool.

I am like a ninja going whoosh, whoosh and the enemy trying to find my location.

"skill activation, Dust Disperse" (Multiple Goblins talking)

The dust I worked so hard to gather is starting to fade away because of the skill they used.

It is obvious they would have a dust Manipulation Skill as well since it is a racial skill.

I have zero knowledge of where I am, and with the dust I used in robbing them of their vision gone, I will lose the only advantage i have on them

I need to get out of here now.

***

I am only noticing it now, but this floor is a savanna.

I mean, there is still no sunlight, but after my eyesight got used to its surroundings, all I can see is the green.

This place would be the perfect spot for hunting, except I am the one being hunted down right now.

The Goblins are right on my tail and I can't shake them off.

It seems our stats are not that far off from each other.

No, considering I am getting the buff from the cannibalism skill, It is safe to say they are actually of an higher level than I am.

Not to talk of the land terrain.

This is their habitat, they are to know the in and outs of it if they want to survive.

Fighting them on their turf is a definite red flag for me.

I got to get as far away from here as possi!!.

Holy crap.

They are even more of them in my front than at my back.

Seriously, what is going on for me to have this many goblins coming after me?.

I jumped off of the ground and took to the trees.

At least there should be safer than the ground swarming with goblins.

Is what I thought, who would ever think that goblins can climb.

Just remembered, I am a goblin and I am climbing.

I keep on hopping from trees to trees with the Goblins following right behind me.

I am having the best moments of my life right now.

Even though I am being chased down by the Goblins, I do not feel scared.

In fact, I feel the opposite of that.

I feel so alive, so relaxed and so free.

I just remember that I got a new skill after the class selection.

This is the perfect moment to test it out.

while still jumping about, I turned my body and stretched my hand at the incoming goblins.

It feels weird saying this word, but no time for jokes.

Skill activation, Thorn....

pfft.....

Mother nature, seriously?....

haa, screw it.

Skill activation, Thorn Erection.

The thorns came out from the trees and apprehended the Goblins that were chasing me.

some of the Goblins were not affected by it though.

It seems it will only work on the targets I have my sight on, but that is good enough for me.

I produce two thorns shaped like a Spear from my two palms.

I ran in between the two goblins and spinned my body to do a double goblin headcut slash with the thorns.

I made the thorn long enough, and stuck it to the neck of the next in line Goblin.

Damn I am awesome.
