Chapter 8

Although there hasn’t been anything that has been discovered yet about a monster’s unique abilities, if I recall from my past life, whether it was the ogre with his flame-attribute attacks . . . or the goblin with sword aura, it was highly probable that monsters had unique abilities as well.

No, it was almost certain. Since the way unique abilities are awakened are different from person to person. And the most convincing amongst them is when they are expressed in the form that the users want.

If I remember the ‘ HP Increase ‘ I got from the past, it seems about right. Since I was undecided on how I should advance, I was still thinking about it back then. . .

Depending on which unique ability you attained, the direction at which you grow differed as well. In other words, the ability that I got from my previous life was pretty compatible to ‘ best swordsman ‘. Anyways, I think I’ll need to think some more about unique abilities.

As such thoughts roamed around my head, the Blood Dagger clan started to move back to the place we originally started at.

” S . . . save me ! S . . . Save me ! We . . . side. . . we’re on the same side! ”

The first person to enter my sight was Jung Hayeon. Since Mev had relayed the message to Goff, it seems that Jung Hayeon was in a fine state. If there was a problem, it was that the goblins were surrounding Jung Hayeon throwing small stones at her jokingly.

” Ggireuk . . . Ggireuk ! Ggireuk ! ! ”

And beside her were some goblins that were eating the corpses already, so in Jung Hayeon’s view, it would be sufficiently horrifying.

” Sob . . . Sob . . . . ”

As if afraid, the smell of urine on her caused the goblins to jump around more excitedly. Among the goblins, those with ‘ special taste ‘ panted and gasped like wicked people, so no wonder she was fully drenched in fear.

I requested Mev and the other goblins to escort Jung Hayeon over.

” Mev. Can you bring that woman over here? ”

” Ggireuk . . . ”

Unlike how a goblin’s greatest beauty was supposed to ask, she was extremely vigilant around Jung Hayeon. However, an order was an order. In the end, Mev slowly walked over bringing over Jung Hayeon by her side. With Mev walking by, the troublesome goblins quickly started making way.

Seeing that the goblin subordinates had stopped bothering her, Jung Hayeon raised her body as I started to loosen her ropes. As I unfastened her, sad and emotionally stressful, her tears started to pour down. I opened my mouth to Jung Hayeon.

” sob . . . . Sob . . . . ”

” Don’t cry. ”

With one sentence, Jung Hayeon stopped her tears. Seeing me, she was in a quite shocked state. My whole body and appearance had changed, so it was understandable I thought. But, sensible, she didn’t say much about it.

After entrusting Jung Hayeon to my clan, I slowly walked to where the other goblins were. Goff was also there as he had evolved from this fight. ‘ Hobgoblin Warrior ‘ was what he had chosen. I was concerned that he might’ve chosen goblin intermediate warrior due to greed, but it seems that was for naught.

Seeing how large he was as a hobgoblin, I started to wonder if he just liked to be larger in general. For monsters usually, it was a simple cause.

Approaching, Goff including the other goblins thanked me with an appreciative gratitude.

” Thank you. To allow us to fight, I thank the Blood Dagger Clan. ”

” Well, with just this . . . . there’s no need to be thankful. Aren’t we the same green skin? ”

I had somewhat already grasped his personality. He was one that loved bravery and burning friendship. As if what I roughly said was correct, his eyes started to shine.

If I were to roughly guess, it’d be something like.

‘ What a trustworthy comrade, you’re a good fella, friend ‘

There was no mistake that it would be something like this. It wasn’t like I was needlessly being nice to him. He was somewhat ambitious and smarter than you think. His battle sense was above the top. Although he wasn’t someone under me, if I were to sufficiently raise Goff, then the chances of him being a disaster is high from the standpoint of humans.

In the end, Goff slowly brought his arm to his chest and waited. Though I didn’t know before, that motion was respect, and also recognition.

Those rapid two arrows. Very nice. Recently, her outstanding performances has been on the rise, and will soon reach the next evolution that I was aiming for together.

” Good Job. ”

” Okay! Ggireuk! ”

And

” Charge ! ! ! Brave Goff Clan ! ! It’s War ! War ! ! ! ”

Our tribe’s charging commander collided with those guys.

” Fu . . . . Fuck . . . These dog-like bastards . . . this dog-like bitch ! ”

The humans that had fallen into the trap all had the same response. The pig that was holding the sword and shield started to scream, as the rest of the humans were clumsily holding up their shields against Goff Clan. But, they were no match. The already Hobgoblin Goff was like a tank as he rammed into them.

Seeing his figure, I turned my head and returned to my spot to start.

As Goff clan were entrusted with the vanguard, our jobs became easier to infiltrate the rest of the members. Roughly seeing, the one that was holding a staff ‘ magician ‘ was the first priority. But, we didn’t recklessly run in. Since a magician had enough time to cast a spell against a dagger.

” The captain is going ! ! The Captain is going ! ! Make way ! Ggireuk ! ! ”

” Ggireuk ! ! ! Ggireuk ! ! ! ! ! ”

Raising my sword, I quickly sprinted to the magician paralyzed from shock and fear.

Seeing her face, she was a young woman who looked to be a university student. At this time, it seemed that she had somehow finished her first quest by working herself under that pig, but she was awkward. In this crisis, a magician that couldn’t let out a voice wasn’t needed in the party. All of a sudden, the old man that Shin Duk-ho had caused the death of appeared in my mind.

Rather than raising such a girl, it would be more useful raising another in terms of survival. It looked like she was greatly foolish as I glanced at Jung Hayeon.

It was the same appearance. Not sure when she got up, but she was plunging a dagger into the guy who had this throat pierced with an arrow.

” I’m sorry ! I’m sorry ! ! I’m sorry ! ! ! We’re . . . we’re on the same side right ? ! ”

Seeing her like that, I couldn’t help but chuckle as I swung the sword at the magician.

In one slice, the girl’s throat and head detached.

” The Captain has slain the Magician ! ! ” ” Blood Dagger Clan has slain the Magician ! ! ! ! ”

” AHHHHHHHHHH ! ! ! ” witnessing such a scene, the rest tried to run away, however, the vicinity was full of goblins. There was no means of escape.

” The battle has ended. ”

TL Afterword

Can I please order one Goff to go?! I really love his honest personality :O

TL Note: Busy day~ Since all of you were commenting so much [ I read all of them ???? ], I couldn’t help but post another one. I’m glad you’re all enjoying this series~

P.S: Next chapter is called Third Evolution. Wonder what he’ll evolve into. Any guesses?

And whew, looks like the pace is picking up. Can’t wait for what will happen after the tutorial ends.
