章 10: The Goblin Menace (Their First Quest Part 3)
"With our preparations complete, let's go slay some goblins." I happily state.
After some time passed, Amy, Yuki, and I reached the first goblins nest. They seem to be living inside a cave, on the outside of the village.
"Amy, would you allow me to take out this nest alone, I want test an I idea I came up with from the skills I copied from you?" I ask.
"Of course, Master Rei, but please don't be reckless." Amy states me with hint of worry in her voice.
"Don't worry I will use my trump card if needed." I state giving Amy a confident and reassuring smile.
"Ah, very well then, Master Rei, Yuki and I won't interfere." Amy stated to me.
Right after we finished our conversation, I noticed a short and ugly humanoid-like figure coming out of the cave. It looks just like the goblins from manga and anime. However, I would rather be safe than sorry, I used my skill analyze on the monster.

Armed with sharp claws, it can deliver slashing attacks to its prey. The Goblin Grunt relies on its enhanced speed and stealth abilities to ambush unsuspecting victims, using hit-and-run tactics to its advantage. Additionally, these goblins are adept at coordinating with each other, utilizing basic group tactics to overwhelm their opponents. While they may lack advanced intelligence, their cunning and viciousness make them dangerous adversaries.
"This information means that there are most likely more goblins protecting the entrance in hiding. This will be a good chance to test my different skills then." I thought to myself before coming up with a plan.
"Spectral Blades!" After I state my chant two long black swords appear in my hands, as I want to see my base stats I will turn on my experience mutiplier x10 and turn off my x999 skill, and I will use the Arcane Enhancement I copied from Amy on my swords.
"Arcane enhancement, enhance both swords with flamestrike." I chant and suddenly after I got a notification in my head."
"Flamestrike has successfully been applied to spectral blades, your strength has been enhanced by a total of 30%." The mysterious voice stated, before a burst of flames wrapped around both of my swords.
Lastly, I want to take out a few of the goblins in hiding, for that I will use shadowstep.
As I channeled the power of Shadowstep, a surge of exhilaration coursed through my veins. It was as if I had become one with the very essence of darkness itself. The shadows enveloped me, concealing my presence from prying eyes.
"Now let's end this quickly." I state, feeling the adrenaline pumping through me.
With my enhanced swords in hand, I took a step imagining my appearing through the first goblin's shadow. In a instant I found myself standing behind the goblin. Without a moment of hesitation, I quickly swung my left sword across the monster's neck. The goblin's head flew in the air, however before it could touch the ground, I had already appeared behind another goblin that jumped out after noticing the first goblin was killed. In the same fashion as the first, I killed the second just as quickly, I continued this pace until there were 10 goblin grunts lying dead on the ground. After I canceled my shadow step skill, I got a notification from that voice once again.
"Congratulations, you have leveled up from level 20 to level 35, your status has increased by plus 15 in each stat attribute. You have also received 5 gacha pulls."
However, before I could check my status increase, I heard a loud roar come out of the cave. Soon, a massive potbelly goblin appeared from the cave, along with 4 other goblins that looked different than the goblin grunts I defeated earlier.
After taking cover I used my analyze skill to check the status of the new enemies that appeared.

"It seems things, are about to get interesting. This time let's try out sonic speed and thunderbolt arcane enhancement this time." I thought to myself before performing the chants.
"Arcane Enhancement: Thunderbolt has been successfully applied. Speed stat will be raised by total of 30%, Strength stat will be raised by a total of 20%. Attacks now have the chance of temporally paralyzing enemies." The voice stated inside my head.
"Next, I will use protective veil to create a barrier around myself, just in case I do get hit. Last but not least, Sonic speed, it will enhance my reflexes and agilty by a 100% however it uses mana at a fast rate. I will have to end this quickly if I don't want to rely on that skill." I state to myself devicing a plan for the new enemys.
"Master Rei, take out the healer first, otherwise it become a battle of attrition." Amy yells out to me.
"Ah, I will do just that." I state, before taking off at a speed faster than a blink of a eye. "This must also be the effect of feline grace; it enhances my agility by 10% and reflexes by 25%." I thought to myself.
Actually moving my body at this speed is pretty difficult to control, however I made it to the healer goblin and with a swift swing its head fell to the ground. In that same motion I dodged a swing from one of the goblin warriors and killed it with a stab to the chest. After, I quickly took care of the Goblin mage and the second Goblin warrior. Now all that's left is the Goblin general and myself.
"My mana Is starting to get low, I need to end this fast." I state out loud to myself.
That was I saw the Goblin general's massive arm come straight for me at a speed faster than you would a monster that size could swing. I got flung a distance in the air when I was hit and during which I heard a crack reach my ears.
"Master Rei!" Amy yelled.
"Thank goodness, I laced myself with a protective barrier before the fight began." I thought to myself. "I'm fine, Amy, I'm sorry I worried you. I will end this quickly, so let me play with your cat ears when I'm done." I said with a smile.
"I..if you finish this safely you can pl...play with my ears all you want!" Amy yelled out while blushing intensely.
"Now I'm more motivated than ever, x999 activate! Let's finish this!" I yell finally using my trump card. I charged faster than I did with sonic speed, and the thunderbolt enhancements, and performed a cross strike on the general's neck and head finally defeating the massive beast.
""Congratulations, you have leveled up from level 35 to level 55 , your status has increased by plus twenty in each stat attribute. You have also received 10 gacha pulls."
"Ah, it's over, now I can mofu-mofu Amy's cute ears. Huh, why won't my body move? I thought to myself before everything turned dark. The last thing I head was Amy yell,
