Chapter 10: Cap 10: First subordinate
After drinking Goblin's blood to make sure the smell of blood wouldn't attract more predators, I saw that I had learned a skill called [ Goblin Language: 1 ], which means I can learn the language of this world by eating the beings that use them. ? Languages are treated as a skill in this world, why?
I have no idea how to answer this now and I don't care either, the important thing is that after three days I finally have a chance to talk to someone, even if it's a Goblin.
I'm going to take this Goblin corpse to my base first, it's going to take a while and I'm going to have to put in a lot of effort for it, but I have enough STM for that and I'm not far from the ruins.
---------
After an hour of dragging this body, I arrive at the base and leave it there, then head back to the forest to hunt, I would like to find a group of Goblins so I can see how much this language skill allows me to understand their words.
Goblins seem pretty wild and irrational, but if I can find a smarter, more docile Goblin I can try to get along with him.
When I saw the wolf pack the days before, I didn't realize it right away, but the leader had an invisible pressure around him, a kind of aura, that must be why he's the alpha of his pack.
After my evolution I got an aura skill that I didn't test called [ Aura of judgment: 1 ], I don't know its effect but it doesn't hurt to try.
As soon as I got to the forest I went back to exploring, I still have ten STM, so I'll try to catch one more prey before meditating to recover my STM and MP.
After a few minutes, I found another Chifruit Rabbit, this time I tried to use the skill [ Poison Spit: 1 ], managed to use it twice before the first hit, and then I jumped using [ Jump: 1 ] to get close quickly.
As soon as I get close I realize that the poison must be taking effect, as the Rabbit is screaming in pain, while he is distracted by the pain I use it twice more [ Poison spit: 1 ] aiming at his head.
When I spit the poison in his head the first hit his mouth that was open screaming the second hit one of his eyes, after that he fell and started breathing heavily for a few seconds before dying.
Ding! Ding!
<[ You gained 4 EXP from killing Horned Rabbit ]>

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Poison spit: 1 > 2 ] ]>
Then I went to him and bit his neck and drank all of his blood, before eating his flesh and going to meditate in some secluded place like the hollow log beside him.
Glub! Glub! Glub!
Ding! Ding!
<[ Your skill leveled up [ Low Poison Resistance: 2 > 3 ] ]>

<[ His bloodline has become stronger and purer [ Horned Rabbit: 20% > 30% ] ]>
Now I will meditate to integrate my level and recover my energies. As soon as I finish meditating after twenty minutes I will check my status.

When I've just checked my new strength I go back to get the Goblins, after an hour of searching I finally hear a scream and head in that direction.
I saw the same Goblin with the rusty sword and a Goblin that looked like a female.
The Goblin with the rusty sword was beating the female until she couldn't get up, then stopped before he killed her and started to say something in her language.
"Gigi gi bait." (Male Goblin)
"bait gi gig gii stopped" (male goblin)
"gi gii hurts"(female goblin)
Seeing this scene made me sick, it doesn't matter if it was a monster, you don't do that to anyone without a valid reason.
In my fury I've already decided what I'm going to do now, without wasting time use [ Jump: 1 ] and I jump at the point on the male Goblin's back which is hard to reach with my hands, as soon as I hit the male Goblin I lock my teeth in his back and use [ Weak Poison Secretion: 2 ], he got desperate but couldn't reach me, I managed to use the skill five times before he fell to the ground gasping, so I use the skill [ Weak Poison Secretion: 2 ] twice more until that he finally died.
Ding! Ding!
<[ You gained 7 EXP from killing Goblin ]>
.
.
<[ Your skill leveled up [ Weak Poison Secretion: 2 > 3 ] ]>
After finishing this monster I go to the female Goblin and see that she is very different from the other Goblins I have seen so far.
She was bald like all the other Goblins but had no wrinkles, her teeth were a bit smaller than the males and her skin was pale green and her features on her face were that of an innocent child, but I could see in her eyes a gleam of intelligence I have not seen in any other Goblin, his clothing a piece of rag that covered his smooth chest and lower body.
Seeing me approach I could see fear in her black eyes, without waiting any longer I activate the ability [Aura of judgment: 1].
---------
Female Goblin Pov:
I was sitting battered as usual, unlike others of my kind I was a little smarter but my body was weak.
I wasn't the only female, but males abused me more because my body was weak, other females didn't care, violence was always present and they even despised me and didn't want any mating relationship with me, they prefer females human beings they captured.
Today one of the Goblins that was born dozens of days ago along with me used a sword and dragged me by the neck into the forest far from our cave.
When we got far he hit me until I couldn't move anymore as he laughed and enjoyed my misery.
"You be bait, you attract prey"
"Useful bait to stay still"
"Stop, it hurts, it hurts"
My whining only amused him more, but before he continued to hurt me I saw a red dot come out of the bushes and jump on his back, then he started screaming.
His screams made me happy, but as soon as he fell I saw a red Leech on his back, she kept biting him until he stopped screaming and then came towards me.
She had many marks on her body of various colors, I saw in her eyes of different colors intelligence that I didn't see in anyone but the Hobgoblins.
I was scared when he got too close to me, I thought he was going to kill me too, but suddenly I felt a great pressure, not in my body, but inside me, the Leech stopped and stared at me, it was as if it was waiting.
I felt as if I was being judged on whether I am an enemy or an ally of this strange being, I felt an impulse inside me to kneel down and with a lot of effort I did it, lifted my wounded and aching body a little and knelt.
And a word I have never heard before and its meaning popped into my head "master", that being was my master.
"Master"
As soon as I spoke the pressure disappeared, in its place a feeling that I was safe took place, I found a place I never had, a place for me.
He asks to feel that his judgment on me is over and in his place, a bond has formed between us.
Ding!
<[ Do you accept to become a subordinate of Diabolic Leech? ]>
.
<[ Yes / No ]>
I swear to stay by the master's side, yes.
--------
Pov Mc:
When I activated the ability [Aura of judgment: 1 ] I felt almost all my Mana leave my body and float within a radius of one meter from me where the female Goblin was included, after a few seconds I saw that the fear she felt for me yes, she tried very hard and stopped with both knees on the floor and spoke.
"Master"
As soon as I uttered that word the Mana that came out of me and floated around us stopped and started to focus inside her, I could see that all her wounds had healed and that a big smile appeared on her face that was filled with tears.
Ding!
<[ Female goblin decided to become his subordinate ]>

Huh?
Group System? Did she become my subordinate? What is this all about?
It seems my aura made her my subordinate and healed her with the MP that left my body.
About the skill [Reinforce Weak Subordinates: 1] I must have learned by winning a subordinate.
And finally, this group system feels like the one in games where you can see your teammate's life and energy.
Now it seems I can only have up to five subordinates, the question is, what am I going to do with the one I already have.
