Chapter 6: 6. The reason she fights II

Alpha secretly celebrated while still being nervous.

Hiding in the thick shrubs, she became invisible to the eyes. But to ears, she was conspicuous. The rustling of the leaves, coupled with the timely blowing of the wind, caused the scattered Goblins to become paranoid, trying to search for their little prey.

Then, for a moment, everything was silent. Nothing made a sound, everything, and everyone stayed quiet. It was as if the forest itself could not eke a single sound. But, the silence was soon broken by a Goblin's shriek.

"Eeek!

A Poison Spit hit a Goblin on its nape. With the shriek of one of their kind, the Goblins were alarmed. The Goblins ran in the direction of the shriek.

Their intention was not to help their kind but to see if it was their prey that did. But, the shriek had long stopped before the Goblins reached their dying companion.

The spectacle they arrived at was the aftermath of a gorefest.

Entrails decorated the ground and surrounding greens. The leaves had been dyed red, and on the Goblin's nape were branching dark veins caused by a poison of some kind.

The wind picked up once again. The wind's rustling caused the Goblins to become high-strung and added the gorefest; all were sensitive to what may happen next.

"Graaa!" One of the LVL 4 Goblins showed his might by shrieking in defiance. They were the hunter, not the prey; they should be the ones to be feared, not the other way around.

"Screee!" That voice roused the other Goblins. Their morale skyrocketed, but what used was morale if one cannot see their opponents?

The intimidation did not do them any good, and their roars only further blinded them with the rising of their feelings of pride as a Daemon resulting in them missing a black newt emerging from the nearby thicket and spat out three consecutive [Poison Spit].

[Ravager Salamander:

MP: 0/400]

"Eeeek!"

"Eeeek!"

"Eeeek!"

The spittle reached their intended targets, whether it be through dumb beginner's luck or her incredible concentration. The three Goblins shrieked in pain, startling the other five. But it didn't matter.

By the time she landed on the ground, Lilith was no longer a newt but a leopard. Her hind legs kicked the ground, and she turned into a blur, such were the result of her Ash Leopard's improved AGT stats.

[Ash Leopard:

AGT: 27 –> 32]

She was too fast for ordinary Goblins to follow her lead. Lilith moved and used her sharp claws to dig out the flesh of a Goblin. Blood splattered as one fell to its knees after having its stomach ripped apart.

[Ash Leopard:

Level up

Life Essence +2

Lv. 2 –> 3

Recovered status]

When she was about to lose momentum, Lilith jumped another poisoned Goblin. With her maw, she aimed for its unguarded throat, and as she latched onto it, Lilith crushed it with relative ease. The biting power of a Leopard was much more devastating than any feline in this world.

A Tiger's bite was incomparable to that of a Leopard despite them being bigger.

[Life Essence +3]

Lilith slew a LVL 2 and 3 Goblin, but before she can move away, a blunt weapon hit her on the side, making her wail in pain. She was sent flying and tumbling down on the ground.

[HP: -150]

She was in pain but scampered away from that place like an injured dog. It was painful; the Ash Leopard's defense wasn't that high, to begin with, so the damage was severe.

'Dawdle, and I die... move!'

Once more, she retreated to safety. Her MP was restored after leveling up, and her fatigue had gone down to zero.

"Six more Goblins to go..."

[Life Essence +3]

"Five more Goblins to go..."

The other five Goblins decided to kill the noisy injured one so they will be able to hear any incoming enemy. Goblins have no sense of camaraderie; they would kill anything that gets in their way — even if it was their same kind. They are ruthless disgusting creatures. But Lilith's fatal move already did the job for them.

She managed to increase the LVL of the Ash Leopard by two after killing four Goblins. Her AGT stats was getting better, but speed was not enough to hunt them all down. She also needed strength, but she didn't have such a thing, so she decided to use the next best thing.

Magic!

Taking in a deep breath and enduring the pain on her side, she turned into the One Horn loli and crouched on the ground. Getting ready to assault the Goblins, she decisively decided to pop out of the bush to cast the spell.

"TINDER!"

A three-inch ball of flame appeared and flew straight to one of the weaker Goblin. The LVL 2 Goblin that stood nearest to her received the full brunt of the spell.

One Horns specializes in spells. They were physically weak, but their defensive and offensive spells were stronger than average.

The lower level Goblin died as its head exploding.

[Life Essence +2]

She did not stop there, however. A single Tinder may cause 200 MP, but she had a lot of MP in this form. Casting three more Tinder, her MP plummeted, and her fatigue increased by 30%.

[One Horn:

Level up

All stats + 2

Life Essence +3

HP, MP, fatigue recovered]

Two of the three Tinder luckily hit the same target, while the last one failed to hit any of the LVL 4 Goblins. Now, three Goblins remained.

All three were LVL 4, and the three didn't dawdle and dashed forward when Lilith appeared out of nowhere. One in front and one on each side; she couldn't defend them all.

She couldn't actually cast a Wind Shield so fast that she'll be able to guard all sides. So, she decided to cast one in front. The Goblin ahead should now be unable to reach her.

Turning into a newt, she planned on getting away by dodging the two Goblins by making use of her small build.

Dodging a strike from the blunt clubs of the Goblins, she was prepared to escape once again. But she noticed that the Goblins who had their attacks miss its targets had an off-balance, resulting in almost tripping.

Lilith took the chance and made poison rain.

"HA! Take this you Saibamen!"

Her saliva was on point, hitting their targets without mistakes. Without any delay, Lilith changed into an Ash Leopard and swiftly used the Lightning Claws to dispatch the two Goblins.

[Ash Leopard:

Level up

Life Essence +8

MP, fatigue recovered]

With the two of the LVL 4 Goblins dead, only one remained, and with Lilith's current level, which was already 4, she quickly killed the last remaining Goblin with a swift Lightning Claws on the Chest.

Observing her surroundings, and she snickered before transforming into a guffaw!

'Hehe, haha, kuahahaha! That's what you deserve for messing with the great Lilith!'

She managed to harvest a lot of things and even increased her status together with her level.

She was happy; her Life Essence improved, and so did her stats. Because of the VIT and HP's shared status, she managed to increase her VIT easier than the other.

'I am pretty good at this. Being reborn here may not be so bad after all.'

[Good job, hehe, just a little bit more, and you will be able to evolve. Only 16 more level on the Ash Leopard, 18 more for the One Horn, and 19 more for the Ravager Salamander. And do not forget, you also need exactly 265 Life Essence to evolve all three. I forgot to mention that Life Essence is shared, but a single evolution needs 100, so you can't exactly call it that way, so I forgot to tell you about it. Lilith? Apostle?

Lilith was silent at the words of Alpha, and then she felt her hunger coming. Turning to the corpses of Goblins, she realized that there was no [8 twelve] in the wild to buy a soda and chips.

There was no fine dining in the world of Daemons.

And as Lilith realized this and then remembered the long list of what she needs to evolve and increase her strength, there was also the issue of a bathroom and taking a number two; Lilith cried, feeling aggrieved about this new life of hers.

'Is hell that bad?' she questioned as she contemplated committing suicide.

That night, she cried while feasting on the meat of Goblin. That night, she vowed to increase her strength and raise her power so she could become a humanoid Daemon that can blend with society.

If she could become a humanoid Daemon without any horn or tail, she may just be able to go to a proper bathroom and eat some finely cooked food.

Her goal was to return to society and get her ass seated on the throne and take a peaceful number two.

But for now, she would have to settle with leaves.

'I'll get there someday.'

Lilith would fight, improve, and rise, so she could one day sit on a throne. That was her determination.

"Ack, this is bitter."

She complained after taking a bite of the Goblin meat.
