Bab 4: Chapter 4 - You have leveled up
Strange grunts and faint footsteps could be heard from the only available path in the room.
Squinting his eyes and focusing his gaze on him, Arthur watched as a figure half hidden by shadows appeared from the passageway.
The figure was slowly revealed with each smooth step he took. After a couple of seconds of complete tension, Arthur could see who this figure really was.
A small humanoid body with green skin, long pointed ears, a stained loincloth, long sharp nails with hundreds of diseases capable of killing an ordinary human, calluses on the hands and feet, a bald head and an ugly face.
"He is a goblin! What is a leprechaun doing here? Aren't they beasts that inhabit forest dungeons? Do not! Even if he were a mountain goblin, it would still be impossible for him to be in these places. "Arthur exclaimed with a nervous expression.
Goblins were basic beasts that one could find in any rank F and E dungeon.
These beasts were known for their impressive cruelty towards any living being that did not belong to their species.
Arthur had had many encounters with these beasts in the past. Most ended in failures and several deaths.
Goblins were a somewhat peculiar species; They had a strange trait that allowed them to breed with any race to increase their numbers.
A goblin alone was not considered a threat to a hunter like Arthur, even if he was somewhat weak.
Arthur using his only Physical Strengthening ability could easily avoid it.
But the moment these beasts used their only advantage on their enemy, numbers, the situation immediately changed.
Arthur from his knowledge of beasts and dungeons, he could tell that goblins were beasts that rarely roamed alone.
So based on this information, he was afraid that there would be more than one goblin in the cavern.
Arthur didn't know what actions to take after having that thought. In an unfamiliar place, Arthur was being extremely cautious.
"Kekekeke"
The goblin examined Arthur from head to toe with a lustful expression on his face. The goblin advanced with carefree steps.
Arthur held still as his gaze returned to the mysterious sword of yesteryear that had appeared a few minutes ago and was several feet from him.
"I do not trust that I can assassinate him with my bare hands since I am not strong enough. But… with a gun maybe I can. "
Arthur focused his mind on him for a couple of seconds and concentrated on feeling the mana circulating through his body.
"Hey? My mana ... "
Arthur whispered in a shocked tone when he noticed how his previously empty mana reserves had fully recovered.
"So my physical condition was not the only thing that recovered, also my mana and my sanity."
Arthur remembered the scene where he was eaten by beasts. This must have been a trauma for him. But strange as it sounded, he was not afraid of remembering those scenes.
Arthur was relieved at this news as he would not weigh heavily on his conscience. I didn't hesitate another second and he activated the only ability in his that allowed him to be a hunter.
Physical reinforcement.
The mana that calmly circulated through his body reacted to his intentions.
Arthur felt his entire body being injected with a refreshing sensation. It didn't take long for the effects of activating his ability to kick in.
Arthur clenched his hands as he felt the strength increase in his body. He felt much lighter, faster, and stronger. It was a complete improvement.
In little more than a breath, Arthur moved as fast as he could towards the mysterious weapon. The distance was shortened in just a few seconds.
In front of the sword, Arthur took it while he was staring at the goblin.
"Hey?" Arthur was surprised when he had the short sword in his hand.
Strange as it seemed, Arthur felt as if the weapon in his hands had been made specifically for him.
"How strange ..." Arthur thought.
Meanwhile, observing the movements of his prey, the goblin thought that Arthur's movements were nothing more than failed attempts to escape.
With this thought in mind, the goblin sneered once more and walked over to Arthur without concern.
"With what do you think I'm not a threat to you? So let me tell you that, although the other hunters see me in their eyes as one of the weakest in the world, the term hunter is still in my name ... "
Arthur did not wait for the goblin to continue teasing him and decided to be the first to attack taking advantage of the fact that his enemy was off guard.
Boom!
Arthur moved as fast as he could, causing a slight trail of dust to rise into the air at the location where he was standing previously.
With his current reserve, Arthur could only activate his ability twice before his mana was completely depleted.
Even so, each use of his ability only lasted an exact time of 30 seconds, which time he had to make the most of not to die.
Due to these disadvantages, Arthur was a weak hunter that no one wanted on his team.
The mocking goblin didn't have time to react when he saw Arthur a few inches ahead of him.
Arthur didn't wait for the goblin to have time to prepare and stabbed his weapon into the goblin's head with all his might.
"KRAKKHHH!"
The goblin screamed in pain when Arthur's gun was buried in the top of his skull.
Arthur's short sword continued to advance on the goblin's head until it finally came to a stop in his brain, killing him instantly.
The corpse of the dead goblin slowly fell to the ground as blood trickled from the top of his head.
[You have earned 100 XP.]

[All his stats are increased by one point.]
[You have received five stat points.]

[EXP: 0/200]
After killing the goblin, Arthur heard some messages in his head and a strange sensation came to his body.
Arthur paid no attention to these things when he noticed from the corner of his eye that the only path in the room that was previously dark, was dimly lit by small magic stones.
Although the light that these magic stones released was not strong enough to be able to see further down the road, they managed to calm Arthur as he did not see any more beasts like the goblin that he killed earlier.
Arthur heaved a weary sigh when the 30 seconds of his skill was up. His mana pool was now at half and he could only activate his ability one more time.
