6 Chapter 6 - Final Hurdle

There are about 5 Tank Goblins, 2 Strength-Type Goblins and a Goblin sage. I'm pretty worried about those two bulking goblins. And I don't know the real numbers since there might be goblins inside the house.

I wanted to kill the 5 Tank Goblins but it will be pretty risky. But... If I split them up it'll be easier.

I used the same tactic but I threw two stones in opposite directions. The 5 goblins were alarmed and they went their seperate ways. They were split 3-2. Of course I followed the two goblins. "Abyssal Enhancement, Bow." I sniped one of the goblins and it was a headshot. I tried to shot the other but he blocked it with his shield. "Sprint." I rushed towards the goblin and I stabbed him through the head. This battle was easy and I didn't get hurt.

As soon as I was done I followed the three goblins. I sniped one goblin and used sprint to finish off the other two.

"System, Harvest."

[You got Goblin Flesh x50]

I went ahead and found a sightseeing spot for the encampment. "Eye of the Abyss." My eyes got an increased range and I could zoom in whenever I think about it. "This is making me dizzy." I scouted the whole camp and I only see the three goblins left.

"Abyssal Enhance, Bow." I used it to try to kill one of the Strength-Type goblins but it didn't kill him it only pierced its skin. "This'll be a tough fight. Other goblins can be one shot but this one's different." The goblin shouted as loud as he can. I guess... To call for reinforcements? "Sorry bud. They're all gone." The Goblin sage was saying random words and then a magic circle of some sort appeared on the ground. It grew wider but I didn't know what it did. The three goblins got closer and started talking about something.

They menacingly looked at my location.

"WHAT? That must've been a detection skill or something. Since they know I'm here, I'm going to greet them." I began walking back to the entrance. "Abyssal Enhancement, Bow and Sword." I got ready before getting near them. I went through the front gate and said, "Sup?"

"Human...!"

Huh? A goblin knows my language and can talk?

The Sage Goblin didn't hesitate and began chanting some kind of spell. The two Strength-Type Goblins charged at me with their heavy clubs. I shot my last remaining arrows but they didn't kill them. As expected they only pierced the skin.

"ARGUAHHH!"

"Feeling the pain yet?" My bow is useless now so I just dropped it. "Sprint." I used my shortsword to inflict some light wounds on the two Strength-Type Goblins. But I'm more worried about what that sage is cooking.

I used sprint to get around the two Strength-Type Goblins and managed to backstab one of them. "That's one." I'm pretty scared about the sage so I threw my shortsword at the sage and it caught him off guard that it cancelled his channeling. But it dodged. I picked up the club of the dead goblin and slam it on the other one. Cracking his head open.

[You gained 600 EXP]

I walked up to the Sage Goblin who was clunching his staff tightly. I got my shortsword that I threw at him. I wanted to kill him but I want to ask it some questions first.

"Hey."

"Argh... What do you want?!" The goblin was angry of course seeing as how its whole base was destroyed.

"What's in those houses?"

"I must not say."

I need to be informed on what's inside those houses or it'll be me walking through a death trap. So since I need that information, I used my club to fake-swing to scare him.

"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! Those are our slave houses. For our food and children."

"..." Without a warning I smashed my club on his head due to my rage. I don't know what face I'm making but I do know that once I go in that house death awaits for any goblin.

[Do you want to get the <Level 5> rewards?]

"Not now. After all of this is done then I'll take it. Devour Sage Goblin first."

[Detection]

Detects living things in a 100 meter radius.

[Root]

Roots the enemy. The duration depends on how long the spell was cast.

[Universal Language]

Able to talk with any living being. Can converse normally without any activation.

"The skill he was casting before was root. If I hadn't thrown my sword I would've been dead meat. I'll get Universal Language."

[Gained skill Universal Language]

I went inside of one of the slave houses and found one goblin inside it.

"Skrie?"

I smashed the goblin with my club.

"System, Analyze the goblin."

[Goblin Slavers. Forces living beings, mostly women to submit to them.]

"Devour."

[Enslavement]

If a living being has HP less than 20% there's a chance you can enslave them and they will be forced to follow you.

"There's only one? Welp. I'll get this one then. Even though I don't have any skill to know the current HP of an enemy this'll be handy."

[Gained skill Enslavement]

When I was thinking of what I'm going to do with the Slaver skill I heard some cries of a woman. My eyes widened. There are about 20 women here. And this is one slave house.

I rushed to the aid of the women and untied them.

"K... m..."

"Don't speak. I'll heal you."

"Don....t.... Plea...se... End me."

I just looked at her with pitiful eyes and didn't know what to do.

"Al..l of us... Wa..nts all.... This to end... Plea...se... Kill... Us..."

I raised my sword and killed them all with a swift death painlessly. I can't do anything. The other women in other slave houses also wished for the same thing. They wanted salvation

For which is death.

"Damn it."
