"Kiyot! Die, human!"
Caang!
What the mining kobold threw was a pickaxe. However, Rokan could never be caught off guard. This is the reason for their combination skill.
"dash."
When the throwing attack, which carries powerful energy enhanced by the skill combination, flew from the narrow passage of the mine, Rokan could not ignore it and concentrated on avoiding it. He could use the Force to block it, but he had no reason to take damage because he had no enemies to deal with.
"Fatal blow!"
What triggered it was a fatal blow. In an instant, Lokhan's body disappeared and he appeared in front of him.
With a blow that has the power of a great mountain!
[critical!]
The head of the kobold, also known as the dog-headed man, split with the helmet. It was more like a hard hat than a helmet, but its defensive power was hard to find in Trinsic. However, he also could not exceed Rokhan's attack power.
"Feel so good!"
The helmet and skull split together, and a heavy sensation hung over my fingertips. It was a taste that could not be compared to previous monsters that fell like straw.
Rather than shudder at the thrill, Rokhan threw himself at another mine kobold who drew his weapon at him.
After the combination skill of throwing a pickaxe, each person takes out their weapon and starts a normal battle.
"Yes, try your best to resist!"
However, those who lost their combination skills could not be Lokhan's opponents. They were 10 levels apart, but Lokhan's combat power was already ahead of them. Moreover, since he knew all of their fighting styles, only one-sided beatings were left instead of battles.
"Cheung!"
Mining kobolds with high strength and agility, but that was a problem. Neither side was overwhelming, so they had to clash weapons with Rokhan, and it was the guys who suffered the loss each time.
If they collided with each other, their weapons bounced off and if they blocked their knees, how could it be a proper battle? Some of them bared their sharp teeth and tried to bite, but Lokhan responded fiercely.
"guard!"
Fuck! Hooded!
The skill used was a guard that increased defense, but the action was an attack without fail. Rather, he swung his forearm as if asking for a bite and slapped him in the mouth. Of course, the teeth didn't stick, and only the broken teeth were scattered in the air.
"Heh heh! Quietly give me the temp!"
[You have obtained a blue mineral.]
So the quest items piled up pretty quickly.
Mining kobolds have an advantage when fighting in the mine terrain, so users who have just arrived at the crossroads are usually not easy to deal with, but Lokhan was already a monster of the same level.
Even though it was a mining kobold with a fairly fast regeneration time, it continued to hunt faster than that and advanced deeper and deeper.
Of course, infinite hunting was not possible with Rokan. Although they are mine kobolds whose combination skills are relatively easy to avoid, as they hunted with speed so that others would not stick to them during battle, their mana was less than their health.
Because of that, he hid himself in a gap where the mine kobolds' movements did not overlap, recovered his mana, and then went inside, repeating his movements.
'I think it's time to come out soon... … .'
It was then.
Inside, the boss monster was urging the mine kobolds.
[Mining Officer Kimoti][Lv 115]
"Kuruk! Hurry up, we have to mine as much as we can before the muscle pigs come!"
I could tell who the muscle pig was without asking. It must have been the dwarves. This mine itself belonged to the dwarves in the first place.
'That was the material for making mana ingots, probably'
Lokhan, who observed that the minerals necessary for the production of high-grade items with high mana conductivity were piled up, came up with a plan of his own.
Even if it was Rokan, it was unreasonable to recklessly invade a place where there were only ten kobolds in the mine and even a boss monster.
If so, what should I do?
'I'll have to pull it out.'
The method is simple. It is to lure as many guys as possible.
'Stealth.'
Lokhan disappeared with his stealth skill and approached them. Even if he used stealth, if there was a difference in level, he would be caught quickly, but Lokhan had the experience and sense of distance to measure the gap.
They approached while maintaining an appropriate distance and obtained 'something'. It was a cart full of blue minerals that had been mined.
"Eujajajajajajat!"
Charge to strike, to dash.
Rokan, who used all kinds of skills, pushed the cart and started running.
The movement was so sudden and so fast that even the mine kobolds couldn't react properly.
"Hold on, hold on! Don't let them run away!"
There's already not enough time, but if you lose that, it really becomes difficult to achieve your goal. Realizing this, the named monster shouted, and the mine kobolds threw away their pickaxes and started chasing Rokan.
'Okay.'
Even while sprinting, Rokhan glanced back and smiled happily. Most of the mining kobolds were running, but the mining officer was just staring devastated. As he chased after himself, there were no personnel to protect the empty mine.
"This should be enough, escape, stealth, dash."
Lorkhan, who was running while being chased by the mine kobolds, fell off the cart when he thought he had spread enough distance. Then he pushed the cart along the rails towards the entrance and went back the way he had come, hiding himself.
The mine kobolds, who were only focused on the cart, passed by the hiding Lokhan, and from the moment they thought they had dropped them all, they boldly broke their hiding and started running.
"Now, we're running out of time, so let's finish quickly! Heh heh heh heh!"
Shouts filled the cave. The energy of the mana contained in it made the nerve cells of the beast stop all at once. He stared blankly at Lokhan's ax flying at him, unable to think of any action.
"Queek! Rush in a frenzy!"
Then he suddenly came to his senses and ran on all fours. He is out of attack range.
"Sheesh!"
Thanks to this, Rokhan hit the air, but it wasn't that there wasn't much of a harvest. Because I put one combination skill on cooldown.
And the offensive opportunity wasn't completely over either. He immediately caught up with him and attempted another attack.
"A rush of destruction!"
If he was a mad dog, then Lokhan was like a raging bull. He lunged forward with his shoulder as if he was going to crush everything in his way.
"The Whip of Obedience!"
As the distance quickly narrowed, he gave up on running. Instead, he quickly went on the offensive, unleashing the whip that was strapped around his waist.
A whip that inflicts terrible pain and makes the opponent obey.
But the opponent was bad. The skill compatibility did not match.
Rushing of Destruction is a skill that greatly amplifies not only destructive power but also defensive power. Enduring the stinging blow, Rokhan plunged into his chest.
The armor was quite good, and the guy who seemed like he was about to stretch out like a flattened frog endured it to the extent of rolling his body.
"Cookie!"
"Ugh, I'm holding up quite a bit."
But that's all, the guy who used the ever-changing attack method through the whip was not Rokhan's opponent. Rokhan's battle ax reached him before the whip could snake through it.
"Force, strike!"
People often say that you have to fight against strength with Yu and change, but that is only when the level is right. In the face of overwhelming power, nothing was mere trickery.
Lokhan's battle ax, imbued with the power of the Force, ripped through Mining Officer Kimoti's tiny body.
"It's a good start"
It was a good start in many ways. The strategy worked well, and the named monsters were also successful in defeating them at once.
It is usually a strategy that fails several times even with a party, but Rokhan did it all alone and with ease.
Lokhan had a lot of work to do alone in the future, so all of this felt good.
"I'll be back soon."
After confirming that the combination skill was as powerful as he thought, and that his ability could work well even in a tertiary city, Rokhan took a breath.
And confirming that the disappeared mine kobolds are slowly returning, he once again added strength to his hand holding the battle axe.
"Let's test the limits, Berserk!"
This time, he jumped into the middle of enemy lines to push himself to the limit.
* * *
"It's crazy."
This time, Rokan knew how to struggle. Although the bar combination skills of mine kobolds are poor, they are level 110 monsters, and they get an advantage in the mine terrain.
However, the combination of Critical Strike and Berserk was powerful. no, this is crazy
"I didn't even expect this much… … ."
Since he was not a humanoid, his basic attack had a critical hit chance of 30%, but it increased to a maximum of 40% when knocking down enemies consecutively, and when he used a fatal blow, his critical hit chance rose to 90% and his damage increased by almost 8 times.
Even without using anything, there is no reason for Rokhan, who has gained immortality, infinite mana, and up to 8x attack power, to suffer even a little against those who were not opponents.
The rush of destruction, ignoring even the combination skills of the boss monsters, turned all the enemies it passed into like rat cannons, and the fatal blow split them in two.
"Cancel!"
[Lack of vitality. If you do not heal to 9% of your maximum health within 10 seconds, you may die.]
After slaughtering them all like that, after canceling the Berserk, Lokhan took out an intermediate health potion, drank some of it, and sprayed some on the wound.
Although it was wiped out with overwhelming attack power, the damage received from receiving the mining officer's combination skill with the body was not small, and the mine kobolds over level 100 did not just stand there and die.
"I think it was this way"
Checking the inventory, all 50 blue minerals, which are the conditions for completing the quest, have been obtained. As it is, even if you use the return scroll to report your achievements, you can get a reward for catching the boss monster, but Rokan didn't.
Instead, it's a little dangerous, but I moved my body a little more inward using stealth.
'bingo.'
And found. Those who originally guarded this mine.
The dwarves couldn't eat, so they were imprisoned in a state of starvation.
Clap!
Rokhan approached without delay and opened the door to the barricade. The 'unknown key' obtained by holding Kimoty is changed to a 'temporary prison key' and fits perfectly.
"Humans come to save us"
"Where are the brothers!"
"Ah, thank you anyway!"
After being released from the cage, the Dwarves looked thrilled for a moment, then grabbed their tools and ran towards the entrance.
If left alone, it would return to the Crossroads on its own.
'It's fortunate that it's not an escort quest.'
If it was a quest to escort them and go outside again, it would have been a headache, but I didn't care because they would disappear like ghosts if left alone.
After that, Lokhan used the Return Scroll to return to the Crossroads.
* * *
'This is not 100% achievement rate'
The minerals obtained were not clumsy cans directly, but were of high quality mined by the mining kobolds, and not only did they slaughter all those who occupied the mine, but they also rescued the imprisoned dwarves.
It's a setting that the mine will be taken away again because there are no warriors who can occupy the mine and protect it, but Lokhan was confident. Rokhan smiled broadly as he recalled the rewards he could obtain through them.
All Dwarves, except for the users, are blacksmiths of advanced rank or higher. What can you get from them
