Chapter 9: My First Labyrinth (3)
The reversed sexual norms of the Pan continent were remnants of the War of the Fallen Gods.
This change applied not just to humans, but to monsters as well.
Thats why I knew it was common for monsters, especially females, to have stronger sexual desires but I never expected them to go berserk just by making eye contact.
Young cock! Stop right there, gob!
Kyaaaaaaak!!!
Give me your seed, gob!
Dont come at me with your breasts out!!
Its my first time too, so Ill be gentle, gob!
I dont need a goblins virginity!!
It was fortunate that I spotted the goblin first. It was also fortunate that I secretly shot it in the back of the head with a crossbow.
But the problem was the crudely made arrow flew off in a strange trajectory and missed. An even bigger problem was the goblin went into heat the moment it saw my face.
What was with this intense reaction? Even if monsters are supposed to live and die by instinct, this was excessive!
Please help me, Miss Lydia! At this rate, Ill be unable to marry!
No. Jonah, you can do it. Go for it!
Lydia cheered me on with an expressionless face. The fact that she was only cheering me on without actually helping was incredibly frustrating.
Just a little bit! You can help me out just a bit!
Got it, gob! Ill just put in the tip, gob!
I wasnt talking to you!!
I turned around in irritation. And immediately regretted it.
A hooked nose that took up half of its face, and green skin filled with blackheads and acne. Its expression, full of sexual desire, was grotesquely distorted.
As if the face wasnt bad enough, the body that continued below was even worse.
Wearing nothing but a loincloth around its waist, its attire was quite revealing. Thanks to that, the view of her sagging breasts and unusually swollen stomach compared to her limbs was in full view.
Lastly, information I truly did not want to know nor see, but every time it chased after me, the liquid flowing down its legs was
Aaaaaaah!!
A scream erupted involuntarily, a testament to the immense mental anguish I was experiencing.
Indeed, since my arrival in this world, my sense of personal safety, particularly regarding my chastity, had never been threatened.
This was partly because the women of the Pan continent were, on the whole, quite beautiful, and my perceptions and desires had remained consistent with those from my previous life.
But more importantly, I had never truly found myself in a perilous situation.
The closest I had come to danger was when I was abducted by the Twin Daggers Clan but Lydia rescued me, rendering the situation ultimately harmless.
But now? An unsightly creature that perfectly fits the description of a little demon is charging at me with a club, intent on eating me. And it appeared to be quite formidable.
A shiver of fear ran through me, causing me to tense up involuntarily.
This vivid fear quickly transformed into another emotion.
I should be the master of my fate. My body might be young, but my soul belongs to a grown man. Though it seemed less significant now, I still had special advantages from inhabiting this body.
And yet, here I was, quaking in fear at the sight of a goblin, not even a dragon?
That, fatherfer.
Rage ignited within me, setting my chest aflame. I had to kill that goblin!
Its appearance was even more repulsive than I had imagined, but upon closer inspection, I noticed its running speed was slightly slower than mine.
However, the disparity in strength was glaring. The mere sound of its club slicing through the air, even without a proper swing, was menacing.
Gobubut! Insult me more, gob! I like men who resist, gob!
Eww!
Sa, save me, please gob! Its all my fault gob. Ill do anything gobjust spare my lifeI dont want to die like this gob
A pitiful voice. However, that wasnt a reason for me to stop. I pulled out the dagger that was stuck in its upper arm and struck down towards its chest.
Shphk!
Thanks to the sharp blade, the dagger easily sliced through the skin and muscle. However, it got stuck halfway by the ribs.
No matter how good the weapon is, it must be difficult to cut through bone with just a dagger and one hand.
The goblin writhed in pain but also showed relief at having survived. And as if to show the creature, I raised the club in my other hand high above its head.
Just the tip! Ill only put in the tip, so dont worry!
Gob-euk?!
I returned its words exactly as it had said them and swung the club down towards the handle of the dagger.
Thud!
With a heavy sound, the dagger that was stuck in the ribs sank all the way to the end of the blade. The goblin, possibly having its lung pierced as well, could only make a deflating sound and was no longer able to babble.
Convulsing faintly, it tried to pull out the sword that was stuck in its chest.
Press.
Stay still.
!
My foot stepped on its hand, effectively stopping it. Considering the original difference in strength, this should have been impossible. However, what strength could a dying creature possibly muster?
Now, the only thing it could do was glare with eyes filled with resentment.
I dont quite understand why it looked so wronged when it brought this upon itself.
Thus, I too glared at the dying goblin until the very last moment, with my eyes wide open.
Its trembling and breathing grew weaker until, with eyes wide open, it died. Just in case, I pulled out the dagger stuck in its heart and shoved it into the goblins neck. You need to double-check, after all.
Slice.
With a light slice, the head fell off cleanly. Grabbing the creatures hair in one hand, I hurried towards where Lydia was.
Then, with a broad smile, I presented the head, its final expression frozen on it.
Miss Lydia! Miss Lydia! I won! Goblins werent anything special after all!
Wow. If I had known the dagger you lent me was this sharp, I would have used it to slash rather than stab. What a pity!
But well I won, so thats all that matters, right?! Miss Lydia, you knew this would happen, so thats why you chose to cheer me on instead of helping, right? Thank you! I feel like Ive learned something!
For some reason, Lydia looked at me with a pale expression. She swallowed once and then asked cautiously.
Jonah. Goblins are monsters that retain a certain level of intelligence. Wasnt it hard when it begged for its life? Didnt you feel any sympathy?
Me?
Yes.
Against goblins?
Yes.
Why would I?
.
Lydia closed her eyes tightly. She grabbed my shoulder and said in a serious voice.
Jonah, you must become an adventurer.
???
I didnt understand why she was acting like that.
