09. Goblins.

*Slap!*

"###&&&++!!!!"

A bigger goblin slapped the head of the one taking a bite of one of the carcasses.

"####&&!!!!"

The smaller goblin got mad and yelled back.

Then the bigger goblin glanced towards the one heading towards me.

It yelled something, but the one heading this way seemed too infatuated with the smell of blood to reply.

"I've got to do something," I glanced around me, frantically searching for a weapon I could use.

Unlike the bigger goblin which was around 150 cm in height, the rest were 130 cm.

The goblin coming towards me had a mace with spikes on it.

I was currently hiding behind the bushes, so it had to pass through it to confirm its suspicion.

But the idiot (goblin) had its mouth drooling already.

"I guess I've been found out," This was my conclusion as I accepted my fate.

The goblin probably wanted me all for itself, because it wasn't alerting the rest.

It was vividly belittling me.

It poked its head into the bushes and…

[Goblins: Level 1]

[HP: 10/10.]

"Uh?" The goblin was startled to see me standing upright with a rock twice my weight raised over my head.

"Die! You green piece of s***!!," I cussed before bashing the head of the little green monster.

"Hiyaaa!!" It exclaimed on impact, alerting the rest of the goblins.

[Ding!! Bashed!! Target was smashed to death. You have killed a goblin. 10 damage was inflicted on Target's HP. Dropped item: A mace. You have gained 5 exp.]

I grabbed the mace from the ground and noticed the goblin disintegrating into pixels.

"Woah!!" I was shocked because the dead bodies of the criminals had yet to disintegrate as well.

"Then why didn't the dead players disintegrate as well?" My train of thought was interrupted by the yell of a goblin pacing towards me.

" Hiyaa!!"

All four remaining goblins were level one, and if I couldn't handle a level one monster, then I probably wouldn't last long in the game.

"Let's do this!!… Ahhh!!" With my mind prepared and ready for battle, I stormed out of the bushes and lunged toward the goblin holding a mace just like mine.

*Swoosh!!*

*Boom!!*

-1

"Aarhh!!" I yelled in agony.

I was shot in the forehead. I placed my hand on my forehead and noticed my hand was tinged red.

[HP: 5/10.]

It was the first time I had seen my blood in the game. I felt light-headed upon witnessing my blood.

I glanced toward the source of my injury, and I could see a goblin holding a slingshot and laughing at how I felt about its attack.

There were two of them and the first had fired and was about to grab another rock while the second aimed and fired as well.

I tilted my head a bit as the rock flew inches away from my face, then I firmly grabbed hold of my mace and cautiously dashed towards the charging goblin.

The goblin swung its mace towards my right foot, but I spun in rapid response to the goblin's attack before spinning around the goblin to shatter the skull of the goblin from behind.

[Hiyaa!!!]

[Ding!! Dead.....]

I swiped the notification away. It didn't drop anything of value, so I didn't bother to read it. Its blue blood was splattered on the ground and its head became a mess.

It instantly disintegrated into pixels.

The giant goblin was the next to charge toward me, swinging its massive mace while I tried to retaliate.

But I noticed that the other two goblins with the slingshot had fired already.

Instead, I withheld my attack and slid right past the giant goblin, evading the giant goblin's attack as well as the two rocks aimed at me.

"That was awesome!!" I commended myself and dashed toward the two little goblins, who were shocked to see me evade their attacks.

Both frantically began to grab a rock from their rear, but I threw the mace I had and aimed toward one of them.

*Bam!!*

[Ding!! Bashed!! Target was smashed to death. You have killed a goblin. 10 damage was inflicted on Target's HP. Dropped item: None. You have gained 5 exp.]

-10

A negative figure is displayed on one of the goblins.

"One down, two more to go," I said, turning towards the second little goblin.

The second goblin got scared and quickly aimed its rocks at me.

I managed to dodge one of them, then grabbed one of the dead players, using it as a shield.

'My HP is my priority and a rock is capable of inflicting damage on me,' I thought inwardly.

The giant goblin was dashing towards me, but thankfully the small goblin was out of ammo.

The giant goblin tossed its massive mace, but I placed my shield up to protect me.

"What?... Why now?!" Suddenly, the body began to disintegrate.

I bent down to evade the flying mace aimed toward my face.

I stole a peek to notice the big-bellied inmate carcass and the remaining dead body had also begun to disintegrate as well.

'S***!!" I turned to see the little goblin already arming itself with a new batch of rocks.

I instantly grabbed the massive rock I used against the two inmates and fired straight at the little goblin with a yell

"Hiyaaa!!!" The little goblin screamed in terror while rooted in fear to the ground.

It raised its hands while looking away as the massive rock launched toward it.

Maybe it was hoping the rock would miss.

But it didn't.

[Ding!! Bashed!! Target was smashed to death. You have killed a goblin. 10 damage was inflicted on Target's HP. Dropped item: Slingshot. You have gained 5 exp.]

Now all that remained was me and the giant goblin.
