Demon King

I thought there might be a difference, but the Goblin who was holding the sword was tougher than the other Goblins. It wasn't that it wasn't tasty. It was just a little harder to eat.

But when I finished eating him with a moaning sound, the reward was clear.

[Strength +1.]

This resulted in an increase in strength and stamina by 1, respectively, through predation.

[Fade]

[Goblin Lv 6]

[Strength – 13 HP – 15 MP – 5 Luck]

[Skill – Dark Heart, Predatory Lv1, Escape Lv1, Beginner Slash Lv1, Beginner Throw Lv1]

It was still ugly, but it was the Elder's progress compared to when I first opened my eyes. I smiled. Being stronger means you have a better chance of surviving.

Now all you have to do is kill three more Goblins and eat. Just a little more... Wait.

Why didn't I think of a glass window when I just ate a Goblin?

I summoned a quest just in case. Only sixteen of them were checked.

I was thinking about why, but I remembered that this Goblin looked a little different from the usual Goblin in the beginning. The others were similar, but his torso was more advanced than a Goblin's.

It looks a little different than an ordinary Goblin.

Quest content that will not be updated.

That means he wasn't a Goblin. Even a Goblin, it wasn't just a Goblin.

So this is an upgraded version of the Goblin.

‘Maybe all the Goblins carrying swords are upgraded like this one. ’

Gives a lot of EXP, but also a knife, but this one should bounce as soon as he sees it.

I don't have any Potions anymore. Moreover, if you catch him, the quest will not be renewed. Taking into account at least level 10, or slow-growing self, you have to be level 20 to be able to take on him.

I got up. After I ate the Goblin that fell over the passageway, I was going to hunt down a new Goblin again.

But then my heart was beating loudly.

Kwang. Kwung.

The heart of darkness beats as if it were warning me. My whole body was stiff. A little later, I can feel a sneak from beyond the passageway where the Goblins will fall.

It was more powerful than the upgraded version of the Goblin I just defeated.

I breathed desperately. Slowly, extremely slowly, I took a step back. Don't step on the stone like a fool. Don't spill even a little bit.

I could be sure it was over in that moment. Beyond the passageway, I was confident that I would die just from an upgraded version, but I couldn't answer because I was stronger than him.

I felt like I was going to cry because of my weakness, but I held it down in case I heard tears. And slowly, really desperately, I moved slowly.

The man across the hall didn't seem to notice me at all. There's nothing to be happy about. I just focused on being as far away from him as possible.

I moved for half an hour. I thought I'd get a skill like the sword I had before, but I didn't have a damn thing.

I couldn't calm down until I crossed another passageway. His spirit is lost to the other side. I calmed my beating heart and gasped for breath.

Despite the fact that only the weakest people gathered in the dungeon, I couldn't understand why I had to suffer every moment of death.

Because I'm the weakest of them all. I'm well aware.

‘Dammit, you're gonna be strong. ’

I don't know how strong I can be against Goblin themselves.Not just Goblin upgrades, but Goblin themselves.But I will be strong.

I resolved to fix the crude rusty knife. And I started walking again, hoping that there would be a Goblin weaker than me, beyond the passageway.

Some time passed again.

Even before I was physically exhausted, I just had to walk on the sidelines like I couldn't figure out how much time had passed, but now I can't afford to take care of my heart.

Now, I was prepared to sacrifice anything else for the word life, unlike when I was in college.

I've been to death.

It's cold and terrible. It is so scary not to move forward. I don't want to die again. I want to live. I want to live in any form.

That was me now.

I caught and ate three more Goblins. The level was still 6.

In the future, if you hunt only one Goblin, you will be rewarded with a quest. You won't end up with 100 EXP and lowest health potions this time. There must be more.

Found the Goblin.

He wasn't a man with a knife. He wasn't strong enough to be hideous. He was a small Goblin, sleeping even.

Sleeping is not a sin. Drowsiness approaches all creatures equitably unless their health is set to infinite, unless they have predatory skills. I've also seen a Goblin sleeping a few times.

And killed them all.

It was easier with a knife. You walk softly and stab him in the neck. The user is rusty and coarse, but it is possible to stab the sleeping target in the neck.

That was it.

[You got EXP 10.]

[You got 1 Bronze.]

[Goblin Hunt 20/20]

After I pulled out my knife, I checked the perimeter for safety, as I always do. And then I ate him.

[Goblin Predatory 20/20]

At that moment, I was filled with a large number of windows that made my eyes dizzy.

[Quest Completed!]

[You got 1000 XP.]

[You got 1 Silver.]

[You got 2 Lesser Health Potions.]

[Obtained 1 Sharp Iron Sword.]

[Level Up!]

[Beginner Slash is Lv3.]

I didn't expect to get 1,000 XP, but it was something else that could be expected. Especially the words "sharp iron sword" made me very happy.

Just holding a crude sword, there are few common Goblins left. By the way, a sharp steel sword, what a glamorous word!

Moreover, since you have reached level 4, your strength and stamina will increase by 4 each. Perhaps, indeed, we can now fight the upgraded version of Goblins with swords!

But it wasn't all over yet.

My heart began to beat violently. Why? I didn't know. I don't know what triggered it, but it was beating like a heart was about to burst out.

With it, I heard a voice.

[Evolutionary.]

It was the beginning of the reversal.
