Chapter 30 Mocking The General
Hi guys, it's me again.
Here is a recap of my situation.
After dominating over the floor I was born in,
I decided to make a trip to the next toughest floor, to you know, show them who is the boss.
To my surprise, I already had a hoard of goblins waiting for me on the next floor.
They attacked me...
Okay that was a lie.
I attacked first, and then they attacked me.
But seriously, you can't just expect me to stay still until they attacked me right?.
well, that was a brief summary of what I had been through.
You are probably wondering...
What is happening to me now, that I have the leisure of chatting with you.
Fun fact, I am having the best moments of my life with the Goblins.
A tree party with an all you can kill buffet of goblins on the menu.
With the thorns I produced in both of my hands, , I slash and hack away at any Goblin that crosses my path.
The level up notification is also ringing in my head like crazy, but I paid no attention to that.
Nothing is going to stop my moment of fun.
I must be going crazy right now.
Being a Goblin and enjoying a goblin Massacre is the same thing as a human killing another human and still finding joy in that.
I do not feel the slightest bit of hesitation or remorse towards this Goblins.
There is only one thought in me, and that is to kill those who get in my way.
Crazy right? I know. But it is just too fun to stop now.
I jumped on a branch and used it to swing myself right at a goblin.
my legs clapped together, landed on the Goblin's face.
I used its face as a foothold to propel myself forward.
I jumped on another goblin and stabbed it's forehead with my thorn and threw its body at the incoming goblins.
The Goblins on the ground started hurling sharp sticks at me, while some were getting prepared to draw their bows.
What do you know?, a goblin using a bow.
Honestly, nothing this place can offer me that I will surprised by.
I jumped down from the tree and went after the Goblins with bows.
I reached them before they could fire the arrow and stuck a thorn in the skull of a goblin, then kicked another Goblin.
I did not realize how much stronger I have become, but now I do, and i owe it all to the Goblins.
For helping me realize my true strength, I am giving them all a swift death by only going for their head, neck and heart.
Skill activation, thorn Manipulation.
I coat my fists in thorn and punched a goblin in the head,
I turned my leg and my arm backwards, then I used my elbow to hit its chin and used my other fist to punch the side of its head.
The Goblins started to shift back and make some distance between us.
It seems my awesomeness was enough to scare them away.
"that is right, if you know what is best for you all, then you had best stay away from me"
"clap, clap, clap"
A Goblin with a physique more broad than the rest of the Goblins, walked out from their midst clapping.
"impressive, I can see why my king ordered for your capture"
"..."
"you mind telling me exactly what it is I did to this king of yours, for him to want to capture me"
"it is not my place to question the orders of my king"
"hoo, so you are just a trained dog who runs when told to, and sits when told to"
"your mockery does nothing to me Goblin"
"mockery?, hey are you a fool?. How can you call that mockery when it is clearly a question"
"..."
"....."
"....."
The staring competition is starting to get too long.
"hey, would you mind letting me go, you know".
"I do not remember doing anything to have you all hunting me down like a prey, so please uhuh"
"I am afraid I cannot do that. As one of the four Generals of the king, my duty is to obey his every command without fail"
A general?...
No wonder he smells like bad news.
Crap, I have to find a way out of here now.
Just what the hell have I gotten myself into?
I do not suppose that king of theirs is asking for my capture because he wants to give me a gift or a trophy on a job well done for staying alive.
They are all bad news.
[Hey Known Knowledge, you wouldn't happen to know why this king of their's wants to see me, would you]
[.....]
[No Known Knowledge]
I thought so, you useless robot.
"come Goblin, I the fourth Goblin general will take you on"
"....."
"well, what are you all waiting for?".
"you heard the man, he said to come Goblin, or am I the only Goblin here".
"..."
"Goblin, this is no time for a joke"
"I assure you that is the last thing I am aiming for. It is not like I am the only Goblin here, so do not expect me to know when you are addressing me"
"you will have to be more specific for me to know it is I you are referring to".
"you know, like a name or something"
"impossible, do you bear a name"
"...."
I totally forgot, I do not have a name yet.
Seeing his reaction, that must be the same for the rest of them.
"no, I have no name"
"in that case, do not ask the impossible of me".
"prepare yourself Goblin, I will be apprehending you with force"
"ho well, thanks for the reminder, but I am not so dignified as to play it safe with you".
Skill activation, dust Manipulation,
Skill activation, detection,
Skill activation, thorn Manipulation,
Skill activation, thorn erection.
He is too dangerous an opponent to allow him to make the first move.
In cases like this, I have to strike first with everything I have got, hoping that it will take him down.
I set my hand on a throwing stance and gathered mana in it.
Javelin Crater Explosives.
And now for the final touch,
I run.
No you read it right,
I mean I run.
Remember I said I hoped for the skill to take him down?.
Well if it does not, I will be done for, hence I run.
