In that sense, the 'Normal' grade 'Born Born Fighter' was an insignificant title for Rokan, but it was also a title that would be quite useful now.
It was a situation where I couldn't level up and I was at a disadvantage in terms of all abilities, so it was much better than not having it. It will serve as a foundation for building greater achievements.
'If only I could level up, I could have cut it all off... … .'
But if that was the case, so would the others.
Lokhan licked his lips in regret and started to move secretly after he ate again.
The next target is the grocery store.
'Damn it again'
Rokan's expression crumpled as he reached the general store.
Following the weapons store, goblins were gathering in front of the general store. This time the number was five.
I got a weapon, but that doesn't mean I'm invincible. With his current physical strength, it would be dangerous even if he was stabbed a few times by a blind knife, but the means to attack from a distance were limited.
There were more weapons in the arsenal, but all he had brought with him was a main weapon and two throwing hatchets.
If he was greedy, he could have used his inventory to pack a few more spare weapons, but he refrained because the weight gauge would only slow down his movement speed.
But I didn't know that it would be such a regret.
'It's fortunate that there is no paralyzing needle.'
The only consolation thing is that they don't have ranged weapons.
The most terrifying thing about goblins was the paralyzing needles they shoot with long barrels, but that was also a story in the main game. Whether the creators have a conscience, the goblin's armaments in the tutorial were hand knives and leather armor.
Of course, that alone was dangerous enough for ordinary users.
At that time, something caught the eyes of Rokhan, who was hiding and spying on them.
'That's... … '
A hole leading into the general store.
Seeing five goblins perched in front of the general store, I thought it was bad luck, but there was no law telling me to die.
'I was lucky.'
Sasasac... … .
Rokhan went back to avoid their eyes and crawled into the general store through the dog hole.
And I took all the items inside.
'If this... … It's worth a try.'
There were three lowest-grade health potions and two lowest-grade enhancement potions for each type. Those that increase strength, stamina, and agility, respectively. They were more precious than gold to Rokhan now.
The last thing I got was the lowest grade fire resistance scroll. Because of the sea of fire, it was an item that would allow him to survive in this place where his vitality would gradually decrease even if he stayed still.
'Not yet.'
Even now, his life force, which was scarce, was being cut by 1 at regular intervals, but Rokhan endured it.
The duration of the lowest level fire resistance scroll is 10 minutes. Basic HP is 100, and HP decreases by 1 every 20 seconds due to the effect of 'Intense Heat', so even if you last 20 minutes, you will still have 40 HP. In addition, there was also a low-grade health potion that restored 40 health over 10 seconds, so even if you didn't use it right away, it didn't harm your life.
So it had to be 'then' to use this.
gulp gulp… … .
Instead, he drank the lowest level enhancement potion one after another. The dirtiest things to buy were the size of bird feed, so one sip of each was enough to swallow.
The moment the reinforcement was finished, Lokhan's eyes turned into those of a predator.
Goblins were no longer feared predators. It was just good prey to eat.
"Whoop."
Wedge liquid!
A series of hatchets were fired from Lokhan, who had the eyes of a predator.
"Kikki!"
"Quack!"
Two hatchets pierced the forehead and neck of the goblin who was in the middle of the nogari. It was truly a ghostly skill.
"Kekekeke!"
The number of remaining goblins is three.
It wasn't an easy number, but Rokhan ran confidently, trying to provoke them in words they couldn't understand.
"Come on, shorty bastards!"
"Quack! Kwak!"
Even if you don't know what swearing is, you can understand it.
As the excited goblins attacked one after another, Lokhan's empty hand lifted a crude axe. It was the 'woodcutter's single-edged axe' that I had taken from the weapon shop.
The first time I held it, I was penalized for not having enough strength, but now that I drank the strengthening potion, I could at least use it without penalty.
"Heh, how dare you!"
A nimble goblin stabbed him first, but the reach was different.
Kwajak!
Rokhan, who had been calculating his speed and location, swung his ax and broke his skull.
That's it. It couldn't move anymore, and Lokhan retrieved his ax to prepare for the next one.
Rokhan's attack wasn't just out of excitement. It was to fight along the entrance of the general store in order to preoccupy the advantageous terrain for fighting with the majority.
"As expected, this!"
As soon as he put on the entrance and took the perfect position, Rokhan shuddered slightly at the fishy smell of blood and the heavy feeling in his palm. He felt even the sensational ecstasy that he had been missing for three months.
"come!"
He smiled like a devil at the goblins.
'It's still a long way.'
Rokhan slaughtered five goblins in an instant. It was thanks to them being swept up in the 'madness of battle' and attacking without thinking about escaping.
This was also the strength and weakness of the tutorial. It's an advantage when you're dominant, but it's a fearful charge when you're out of strength.
However, Lokhan, who subdued the five goblins without a single wound, was not satisfied. Considering his movements at the time he was called the king of violence, he is now at the level of crawling.
Moreover, during the three months of not playing, it seemed that his body had rusted more than he thought. I felt like I needed a little more time to get it to work perfectly.
[Amazing achievement! He fought with many opponents stronger than himself and won perfectly.]
[You have acquired the title 'Brave Fighter'.]
[You are the first recipient of this title.]
[First] [Natural fighter] [Magic]
It can be said that your talent for successfully defeating opponents who are 3 or more levels stronger than yourself in multiple fights is truly heaven-sent.
You are the first recipient of this title.
[Retention effect]
-strength +3
- Agility +3
- Increases critical hit chance by 5% when fighting 5 or more enemies
"Wow, this also comes with a first acquisition bonus."
This time it was a 'magic' grade title. Originally, it was a 'Superior' grade title, but for the first time, it was the first time to defeat it without getting hit by a single one, and the grade and effect increased.
If it wasn't perfect or the first, strength and agility would have risen by only 2 each.
"This… … Honey."
The special effect obtained as an initial acquisition bonus was also quite usable. It is an effect that can only be activated during battles with many, but it was an effect he preferred in his previous life when it came to the critical hit rate.
But it's still too early to be relieved. The number of goblins he had killed was only seven, and there were still more than twenty goblins roaming the village.
'He's there too.'
The thing that bothered me the most was, of course, the leader of the goblins, the armed goblin.
Although it was downgraded a lot because it was a tutorial, he was at least a level 10 strong. In addition, as the name suggests, it is equipped with quite decent iron armor.
Even though it was at the level of beginner John, at that level, it was as powerful as a Shinigami in the beginning. It would be difficult to even fight similarly to drinking the lowest level enhancement potion.
Even Tolkien attacked him and was defeated several times, eventually clearing the tutorial by bypassing it.
'And I confessed. He's not a mob made to catch.'
I wonder if anyone succeeded even though they said that they would give a huge prize and scout them to the guild if they took a video of catching them and authenticated them.
Rokan agreed with that opinion. Because I skipped the tutorial, I only watched the video, but apparently he wasn't at a level that I could catch as a level 1 character.
'For an ordinary user to do one-on-one, he must be level 15, not level 10.'
But that's for later. Now was the time to focus on reducing the number of goblins.
'13 minutes to here. It's still okay.'
It took quite a bit of time to move and save myself as much as possible, but this was still okay. The strengthening effect was still present, albeit intermittently.
The last set of strengthening potions would have to be invested for the sake of the plan, but this was enough.
'First of all, those who are far away.'
Having set a target, Lokhan quickly searched the surroundings.
Those who moved in groups lured them toward the building and hunted them, and one or two simply rushed in and killed them.
Then, by the time the first strengthening potion wore off, there were only sixteen goblins left.
The number you solved is fourteen, and the remaining number is sixteen.
Arithmetically speaking, you should be able to defeat all of them using the remaining set of lowest level enhancement potions.
Besides, the armed goblins always had at least five goblins with them as an escort, so no matter how they avoided them and caught the others, they could still catch twenty-five goblins.
Tolkien became famous because he caught three more of them.
But Rokhan wasn't going to be satisfied with that much. It was meaningful for him to take away the achievement he should have had, but he needed a greater achievement to walk the path he wanted to go on his own.
'Seventeen minutes to here. Time is fine... … '
Rokhan's expression stiffened as he was slowly breathing and checking their location.
The path of the armed goblins was strange.
The direction he was heading was definitely toward the building where Mark was hiding.
"shit!"
0 minutes to hide the mark was not a fixed time. It was only an average amount of time, and it could vary according to the direction of the goblins' search.
Even so, being more than 10 minutes ahead was too much.
"It sounds like a fucking system."
No matter how you look at it, this could only be seen as a trick by the producers. They seemed to have applied honey to Mark, and they pointed their way very sensibly. If this continued, it was clear that he would be discovered.
'Let's do it.'
I can't help it now. Whether it be porridge or rice, I have no choice but to execute the plan.
gulp gulp!
Rokhan drank the strengthening potion in succession on the spot. Feeling his body heat up, he stepped out into the street they were walking on.
Wedge love! Puck, puck!
Instead of attacking the armored goblins, who couldn't be eaten, he also didn't forget to reduce the number of his subordinates by blowing hatchets.
"Quik!"
Perhaps because the subordinate walking right next to him died, the armed goblin turned his head away with an angry face.
Caang!
At that guy, Rokan threw the stone he picked up once more. He was hit by a helmet and took little damage, but he was perfectly successful in turning off his 'aggro'.
"Quit!"
All the goblins in the vicinity started chasing him at the cry of the armed goblin in anger.
But Rokhan wasn't looking at him anymore. As if he expected that to happen, he turned his back and was running away.
"Cha ha!"
And that's not all. He threw a stone in his inventory to attract even the goblins who weren't looking at him, and he didn't forget to maintain aggro from the guys following him.
Because of the madness of battle, he would chase them until he died anyway, but it was just in case.
The cumbersome ax is already in the inventory.
In an instant, I was in a situation where I was playing hide and seek with dozens of goblins.
"Eck!"
Rokhan, who was running with a sweet smell coming out of his mouth, noticed a goblin popping up in front of him and turned.
The strengthening effect didn't end, so he could split his head with a single blow, but the time delay was more precious because of that. It was such a tense moment.
Now, with the effect of the lowest agility enhancement potion, you can keep the distance, but it was clear that you would slowly catch up as soon as the duration ran out.
'done!'
And then, a key place in Rokhan's plan appeared.
