The Wounded Hob-Goblin Pt.II

I looked at its stats again.

'Sa sa! Did its physical stats just increase by half? What the hell did it do?"

<<Activation of the skill [Fire Force]>>

'Fire Force? Ah… I see it. Explain the skill please.'

<< [Fire Force]: A skill which allows the user to summon a massive amount of fire power to fuel their bodies and increase their physical prowess by half>>

'I see. So that's what it's using here, huh? Isn't that a bit too much for just a few goblins?'

Just as I thought that, I heard something from the distance, then I noticed something weird. I looked to the distance and saw a ball of water shoot at the deer at high speeds, like a bullet.

The flaming deer easily dodged it and the water ball hit a tree. The tree broke in half and the water ball kept on going, breaking more trees behind it and leaving me stunned by the amount of chaos it had caused.

'Oi! What the hell was that?!'

I heard another weird scream and saw the source. It was a person clothed fully in rags. A black tattered dress with a dirty sash wrapped around the waste. The person wore a cloak over this, which flailed behind them, as their hands were stretched forward with a staff in hand. This staff had a certain jewel at one of its end.

The person was mumbling something, then the weirdest thing happened. A circle about the size of a cannonball with weird markings in it appeared before the person.

'Oi, th-that looks like a magic circle… T-There's no way, right?'

<<Answer. That is a magic circle>>

'Eek! Why do I keep forgetting that this is a magical fantasy world?!'

The power from the magic circle was creating a tiny gust of wind that blew the person's hood off. I was disappointed because the person had green skin, meaning they weren't human. The person had shaggy black hair and deep dark eyes.

A shot of water was released from the magic circle at a high speed again, going so fast I couldn't keep up with it. The deer easily dodged again, this time breaking the ground it once stood, blasting me away. I fell back and the water ball was coming for my head.

I closed my eyes in fear, but luckily for me, it went above my head by some inches, easily splitting the tree behind me in half. The shockwave sent me flying again. I went rolling for some time, before I managed to stop my body and come to a conclusion about the fight. I was really not in the mood to die that day.

'Alright! This is where I use my special skill! The Tori run and hide special! Later folks!'

I immediately took flight, running away. Get it? Took flight because I was a bird now.

After running for some time, I reached a point where I thought was safe enough.

'That was insane! What the hell was with that magic? Magic? I can learn magic, right?'

Just as I was thinking to myself I looked up and saw something. It was a rabbit. I prepared to shoot a fire ball at it, but then I noticed that it didn't have any horns. Curious, I decided to check it out.

[Species: Fanged Bunny 5/15

'A fanged bunny? What hell? Now I feel like this world's creator just felt like making stuff up.'

The bunny had never done anything to me, but I couldn't simply let it go off. For all I knew it would just walk into my nest while I was sleeping then bitten me and sucked out all my blood.

「 [Poison Generation]! [Poison Shot]! 」

I spat out a wad of poison saliva which hit it right in the face. I found something odd though. The bunny didn't move or act how I'd expect something that had its face filled with a spit of acidic poison would react. It just stared at me, slowly melting away. I could see its health points decreasing slowly. I thought there was something wrong with it, but there was nothing [Analyst] was showing me.

'Agent?'

<<Error! Solution not found>>

Even the agent couldn't explain the weird phenomenon. It didn't take long for it to die and for me to be awarded points for the kill.

[You have received 30 exp]

That was all. Not enough for a level up once again. I waited for the bunny to quit burning then decided to go over to eat it. It was too bad that I didn't have any way to control the poison. Like I'd make them quit as soon as the creature was dead, rather than just crudely destroying them.

I took a peck out of it. That was when I realized that burnt horned rabbit tastes like fanged rabbit… burnt. Still, I couldn't just let the meal go to waste, so I ate it. I needed to hurry before some creature got drawn in by the scent. Thanks to [Heat Resistance], this was much easier to eat.

[Due to the unique skill [Evolver] you have acquired 15 experience points]

A level up from eating!

[Due to the unique skill [Evolver] you have acquired the skill [Acrobatics]]

[Due to the unique skill [Evolver] you have acquired the skill [Blood Sucking]]

'Humph… what can these skills do?'

<< [Acrobatics]: Enhances your flexibility. Your speed is boosted drastically as well>>

I was unimpressed.

'Next.'

<< [Blood Sucking]: Allows you to suck the blood of others>>

'Not descriptive enough… I guess that's all I get then. Tch. Now back to the nest!'

I got up and started running back towards my nest.

***

I was lost.

I had no idea where I was going. I just kept on walking then I smelt smoke. Carefully, I followed the scent and got to where the smoke was coming from. All round I only saw broken in half trees and torn up earth. The place looked strangely familiar though.

I kept on walking till I saw a black lump on the ground.

<Name: []

<Species: Goblin

<Status: Dead

'Wow… no one likes goblins, huh. What skills can I get from eating this?'

I immediately found myself asking about something weird. The nasty lump of black flesh wasn't the only source though. I looked around and saw four more in the exact same condition. Then, underneath a burnt tree was the hob-goblin from before.

There was a lot of blood flowing from its mouth. Some parts of its cloak had been singed and what I presumed to be its magic staff had been broken in half.

'D-Did the flame deer do this?'

[Name: Oda

[Species: Hob goblin Mage 23/60

[Status: [Tired], [Hungry], [Burnt], [Bleeding]

[Gender: Female

[Rank: D+

[Level: 43

[Health: 30/1050 Stamina: 20/600 Strength: 250 Speed: 432 Defense: 120 Intelligence: 90 Magic: 50 Luck: 50

'Is that title for real? |Cursed Vessel|. She didn't eat a finger of some crazy powerful demon, right?'

I was disappointed by the lack of skills and turned my attention back to the burnt goblin. I pecked it and slowly swallowed. I won't describe the taste.

I was surprised that the flame deer did all of this. Wasn't it all a bit too extreme?

'Huh… the goblins really are useless. Only this? That's pitiful.'

"… M… mal."

I heard a voice say. Surprised, I looked around for a bit, but saw nothing.

'Yo agent, are you in some certain puberty stage?'

<<Negative>>

'Eh? Then who was the source of the voice?'

<<Answer. The hob goblin Oda>>

I could feel a deadly presence over me. The hob goblin Oda had her staff raised as she was bringing it down in one powerful swing, in an attempt to kill me. [Acrobatics] kicked in and I flipped out of the way, making a perfect landing.

'Whoo! Go [Acrobatics]!'

Oda collapsed on the ground behind me. This was my chance to learn magic. I was going to kill her, but then I heard more voices. [Prey Instinct] told me that if I stayed I would be in trouble. I cursed, but I needed to leave Oda's body alone, while I ran away.

It was a very lucky creature. I wanted to learn magic so bad.

'Still! Where the hell am I going?!'

<<Suggestion. Use the skill [Auto Mapping]? >>

'[Auto Mapping], huh? Sure.'

A screen appeared in front of me. This was a sort of digital map that showed my surroundings. There was an arrow pointing in some direction and I was confused.

'What's that?'

<<The checkpoint>>

'Checkpoint?'

<<Affirmative. The location you subconsciously registered as a return point>>

'Oh… is that so? Alright then! Let's go!'
