Chapter 25: Goblin King (4) [End of Volume 1]

Goblin King (4) [End of Volume 1]

“Kihhh… … die!”

Just as the Goblin King waited for the best timing to launch his full power flame, I too have waited for this.

As I hang in the air for a second, I calculated my next steps.

Suddenly, huge flame balls came towards me, but the ring’s skill triggered before they hit me!

“Kiaaaaaaaak!”

I was almost covered by flames, but in just a second, it was the Goblin King’s body that burned. It seemed that his defense against magic is not that strong. His body caught fire quickly.

“Kyiiiaaaaah!”

Screaming in pain, the Goblin King wielded his sword wildly. But this time, it was the goblin explosion ability once more, not summons.

Maybe the sword’s ability is limited, so perhaps it is only the explosion spell that’s available now.

However, it could also be that the Goblin King is not on the normal state of mind, because he should have chosen to summon Warriors to defend himself, rather than attack once more.

Immediately after landing, I used Leap again to get within killing distance. I couldn’t retreat now. I have full faith in my armor. The wound on my back hurt so much, but I ignored it. There were explosions all around me, but I have to kill him if I didn’t want to die!

The moment I broke through the last explosion, nothing got in the way between him and me. His terrified eyes looked very refreshing to me.

“Key key!”

The end of my sword found its way towards the Goblin King’s neck. However, before the blade was able to successfully cut through, his hand grabbed my arm.

“Ki-ii!” he yelled in pain.

Suddenly, his eyes started to radiate a strange green light. I felt the Ebon Heart thump violently.

Why?

As soon as the question came up on my mind, the Goblin King cried out.

“Obey me!”

Upon hearing his words, my hand with a sword relaxed and lowered down a little. I tried to cut off his neck, but my hands did not move.

“Key kikikik!”

Despite the pain, he laughed. It was a wicked smile.

The Goblin King even had the ability to control the enemy?!

Confusion and embarrassment filled me.

“Kik! You were quite annoying.” He raised himself and yelled arrogantly. “You will be my escort from now on!”

At that very moment, the heart of the Ebon Heart ran wild.

An alert window popped up in front of me.

[Ebon Heart]

[You will be able to detect the crisis. Positive corrections are made to all combat activities. The body evolves infinitely as it grows. Repels all spirit-based magic. ???]

I lifted the sword.

The Goblin King turned his head in surprise, and once again radiated green light, but it didn’t matter.

I put all the mana left on my sword and struck. It was on the exact same place that was deeply cut earlier, and once I connected, I released Black Lightning with all my power.

“How…did you… !”

“Kyaaah!”

In an instant, the Goblin King’s head flew in the air. All the goblins that were still alive fell dead.

[You gained 12,860 experience.]

[You got 1 gold and 10 silver.]

[Beginner Power Attack has become Lv6.]

The Goblin King’s sword fell to the ground with a metallic clang. Slowly, the sword dissolved, leaving only red gems. Soon, the gems also disappeared, along with the armor he was wearing.

[You obtained ‘Pelcadia’s Gem-Enemy’]

[You obtained ‘Chesia’s Leather Armor’]

“Hoo, hoo!”

I looked around. I am the only one left standing in the wide-open cavity.

The throne where the Goblin King was sitting also dissolved, and a shabby wooden box formed in its place. A large hole formed in the wall behind it.

I realized that that was the entrance to 2F.

I was right.

“Really tired.”

I was really curious about the second floor, but I wanted to rest. It was a terrible experience not to have control over my body. There was still cold sweat on my forehead.

It was an incomparable horror with the Lower Flame Magic. It may be because there I wasn’t prepared for it at all.

However, I was able to fully understand why Rain prepared me for the Flame Magic and not for the mind-control one.

He didn’t have to.

He knew I would not be enchanted.

He knows about my ebon heart. Better than me.

But I wish he could have said a word. It’s a really nasty ability.

As I cursed him over and over, I fell and stayed down to rest. That was exhausting.

It was really scary. I thought I was going to die this time.

There was no rest. From explosions to flames to mental domination, it was a series of extreme tension.

If you still do not eat, the quest will not be resolved.

If you don’t eat, your abilities won’t rise.

If you don’t eat, you don’t get higher abilities, and if you don’t eat, you can’t evolve.

I stood up. In front of me is the Goblin King’s corpse, neither large nor small in size. I feel like burning it down, but I can’t.

I sighed, picking up his head, and muttered.

“I will enjoy this food.”

The Goblin King burned in moderation, so it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There was no seasoning, but it was still the most delicious body I have eaten since I opened my eyes as a goblin.

It isn’t an analogy – this one really tasted like chicken!

What is it with the skill of Predation? Does it have the ability to replace a disgusting-looking and disgusting-tasting food, with flavors and tastes that the brain remembers as delicious?

It didn’t matter anyway. I have to eat them anyway, and if it can make eating more delicious, thank you. I continued predating the Goblin King’s corpse in a more relaxed manner.

It had a lot of parts – the head had an interesting taste, the limbs tasted like chicken legs, and the body tastes like chicken breast.

“That was really yummy.”

For the first time in my life, I felt grateful for my predation skills.

Suddenly, a notification popped up.

[Predation after Hunting Goblin King 1/1]

[Magic has risen 5]

[You acquired Beginner Flame Magic.]

So far, I had hoped to get the Flame Magic, but I did not expect it too much. I thought, if I get it, it would be at the Lower level, but the Beginner level is not bad at all.

But there’s more…

[Predation has become Lv3.]

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.}

[Predation Lv3]

[Eating acts to restore health, mana, and injuries. Can resist some degree of toxicity. The efficiency when absorbing the power of the eaten is slightly increased.]

This was totally unexpected.

I opened my eyes wide. I ate up a lot since it reached Lv.2, but it didn’t increase, so I have given up on it. Was it because the Goblin King was an upgraded opponent?

Of course, there is no one to explain this to me. All I can do is rejoice.

Predation can restore injuries. The torn skin, the cuts, the wounds can all be healed. Of course, the extent of recovery may not be that great yet, but if combined with the Regeneration I obtained, the probability of dying in battle is greatly reduced.

And, Predation is now level 3. Level 4? Level 5, level 6? Obviously, there is more power I never imagined.

I turned my eyes. Dead knights were scattered around. Now, they look like golden chunks of meat. I rushed to them without hesitation.

[Predation After Hunting Goblin Knights 2/5]

[Beginner Archery became Lv4.]

[You acquired Beginner Power Arrow.]

[Predation After Hunting Goblin Knights 3/5]

[Health increased by 1]

The Goblin Knight has a tough skin like a Goblin Warrior’s, but the middle was as tender as the King’s flesh. It feels chewy and tastes like a chicken cutlet.

Even if it’s not as good as the King’s, it’s also quite tasty.

I laughed upon realizing my thoughts. At first, I felt so disgusted by a monster’s corpse, but now I’m eating them and making comments like a food critic.

I didn’t know that I would adapt to this grim situation. Neither my mother nor my father would know, but I liked what I am now than I was before.

The human Kang Si-ha held only one advantage against Hop Goblin Kang Si-ha: a human body.

But when I ate the fourth goblin knight, something happened that made me prouder.

Only

[Predation After Hunting Goblin Knights 4/5]

[Beginner Archery became Lv5.]

[Congratulations! Satisfied the condition for Upper Skill synthesis!]

The moment I saw the notification, I stopped and traced back what I was doing. I ate a Goblin Knight, and Beginner Archery reached Lv. 5.

Upper Skill? Synthesis? I can’t guess what it is. Fortunately, a reminder followed.

[Upper Skill ‘Martial Arts’ synthesis possible.]
