Chapter 30, Red Goblin King
[Name: The Key to the Realm Beyond.
Description: The Key to the Realm Beyond is a rare and enigmatic artifact that is said to have the power to unlock a gateway to an unknown and mystical realm. However, using the key triggers a long and unpredictable cooldown, during which time the key becomes inert and unusable.]
[Note: The nature and duration of the cooldown are unknown, making it difficult to rely on the key's power.]
[Warning: Those who possess the key hold a power that is coveted by many, and it is said that the key holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe.]
"What the fuck is this?"
"Wasn't this a Key I will use to open the last floor?"
[No, you can enter the fifth floor normally, Master]
"Then why did I assume otherwise?"
[That was from your imagination, Master]
Hearing Lena says such a thing brutally, hurt my delicate heart.
After all, she was right, when I first found the first piece of the key, the system just issued me to collect the other three pieces.
So after searching the first floor and finding only one piece, I thought that by counting them and the number of pieces asked by the system, they have to be used to open the boss floor, But apparently, I was wrong.
But hey, looking at the bright side of things, I got a key with a cool name, and finally, after 2 days, I reached the boss's room.
So let's finish this fight quickly and go home to sleep.
After confirming one more time, that there was nothing valuable here, I walked toward the last stairs I will walk today.
Going down the stairs, soon I reached a large Crimson door with nothing on it, seeing the unimpressive door, I just pushed it open to go inside.
After pushing the doors away, I walked inside a little vigilante, looking around nothing appeared except for the darkness around me, even with my eyes which can see in the dark for being a vampire, were useless here.
I walked a little more, then I felt a chill running through my bones, then on the walls, a lot of torches suddenly lit up with red fire.
Looking around me, I noticed that I was in a large hall, with 4 long crimson pillars that has no decertations.
The walls around me were all painted black and at the end of the room, there was a big throne, and on it, a huge red creature was sitting while looking at me in amusement.
After looking at me the creature's eyes suddenly changed color from black to blood red and then it stood up and roared loudly to the point that I felt a little dizzy.
The red creature was a huge red goblin with a crown on its head. It stood at 5 meters tall, it has a large black horn coming from its forehead different from the other goblins as at the tip of the horn there was a tint of red.
In its hands, there was a large black cub that was made of an unknown material.
The huge red goblin's aura gave off a different feeling from the other goblins that I faced until now, it made me wonder if they are really related.
So I focused on the goblin wanting to see its status.
[Name: Red Goblin King
Level: 25
Strength: 45
Agility: 26
Stamina: 46
Mana: 100]
Seeing this, I was startled and thought to myself that this fight is going to be tough.
After all the opponent is peak Initial stage and has an absurd physical strength for a peak Initial stage monster.
And more importantly, it will have a regeneration level that will be on a completely different level from its kin, since this is the goblin Kin, it will also have a skill or two for sure.
Looking at its huge body, I took a long iron sword from my inventory.
As from where did I find such a sword?
Of course from the goblins I killed on my way, there were a large number of weapons out there, but I took a few swords and spears, as I thought why not try them later?
But I think they will be useful here, although I was a waste clan heir, I at least trained to use swords and spears, but not to a high level, as no one trained me after finding that I had no talent for anything.
And taking on such a large goblin using my fists wouldn't be a good thing after all the difference in strength status between us are 20 points. I am at least faster than him.
As I was thinking all of this, the red goblin King didn't give me more time to think of any plans and it headed in my direction while holding its own club.
I didn't understand why the mood changed from amusement to anger
but I didn't put much thought into it and I put aside any thoughts for now and decided to test the waters and see how well it goes.

After a continuous fight for 20 mins, I managed to know the attack patterns of the red goblin King, although every time I injure him using one of my skills or by using my sword, it would immediately heal without leaving any marks behind.
Seeing this, I became annoyed, but during these 20 minutes, I managed to stabilize the sudden increase in strength.
After all, 2 days ago, I was just a weak vampire with a very small amount of Mana, and weak vampiric powers, so when my body evolved and strength increased like this, I needed to train and fight to get used to my new body.
Fighting the goblins the last two days helped a little but not to the same degree as fighting the red goblin King.
The difference in strength between them is huge, and I was a lot stronger than the red goblins outside, and only the nobles among them used their brains to fight, as the others only used their instinct.
But when fighting the red goblin King, I have to be careful as to not die, after all his physical strength is higher than mine, and the club the goblin was carrying around was very heavy.
In the beginning, I tried contending with it but the end result was a broken sword and me getting my body smashed into one of the walls across the room.
If it weren't for my new vitality and strengthened body, I would have been a meat paste.
Just like I remained in a stalemate with the goblin.
But I know if we stayed in this stalemate, I would die, because my stamina is less than the monster so I would tire before it.
As for my Mana and Sanguimancy points, I still have the energy to try a few more tricks.
[Mana points: 50/74]
[Sanguimancy Points: 55/110]
