Game Of Eternals: Sinner

Chapter 12: Blademaster Amulet

The door on the other side of the dungeon opened and a large amount of goblins poured into the hall. Neo's expression was severe as he found that the number of the goblin kept increasing and in less than a minute, over fifty goblins came into the hall.

A goblin was sitting on a strange animal, barking orders at the group of goblins which seemed like a commander. The goblin commander stood at the back of the horde, barking orders and directing the goblins with precision.

He kept yelling as the goblin stood in a neat row. Its sharp eyes scanned the battlefield, looking for any weaknesses in Neo's defenses. Despite its small stature, it exuded an aura of authority that made even the largest goblins obey its commands without question.

Neo knew that he was in trouble the moment that goblin entered the hall. He used [inspect]

"A named monster?" Upon seeing the name of the goblin, Neo knew he was in more trouble than he first thought. Named monsters were much stronger than boss monsters of the same level. Which was definitely clear from the attributes the goblin commander had.

Neo looked at the horde as he thought of a way to deal with the boss monster. His skills gave Neo a bad feeling. He remembered he hadn't checked the reward of clearing the last floor. He pulled up the log and found out what he got.

[Skill: Whirlwind

Description: Spin rapidly with weapons outstretched, delivering a series of quick slashes that hit all enemies within range of 2 meters forming a small whirlwind. Consumes a large amount of stamina and mana.]

Neo felt the Tower gave him this skill just for this floor as this skill would help him get out of this sticky situation, but the skill didn't tell him how large the stamina and mana it was going to consume.

The goblin commander couldn't sit still anymore as it roared, and the goblins charged toward Neo, looking at the number of enemies coming toward his way. Neo took a deep breath as he equipped both swords.

He also charged toward them and jumped into the air, and said loudly, "Whirlwind!"

Neo started twisting like a spinning top as he performed the whirlwind skill in the midst of the goblin horde, his dual swords sliced through the air, creating a whirlwind of blades that ripped through the enemies. Goblins soared through the air, dismembered as they got cut by Neo's blades, and their bodies littered the ground. Despite their overwhelming numbers, Neo's skill allowed him to dance between the goblins, butchering them like they were lambs and he was the wolf.

Neo cancelled the skill as he was panting and drenched in sweat when the last of the goblins fell.

He looked at the mess that the skill created, but the stamina that it consumed was too much. He was already panting after executing the skill once. It consumed more than half high stamina but was still worth it, according to him. There was a weakness that he found, though. It also leaves him vulnerable to attacks on his back as it was left exposed during the execution, so he needs to be careful when using it.

Still, it was a pretty powerful skill, and he felt that its power would increase as his strength increased, or when he got a new and powerful weapon.

There were still a lot of goblins left, as he was only able to kill over 20 goblins, and the goblin commander ordered the rest to retreat. He looked at how much more experience was required and found that the experience bar was half filled.

The goblin commander, though shocked by the devastation caused by the whirlwind skill, did not flee. Instead, it waited for the skill to subside and then rallied its remaining forces, shouting orders for them to attack again.

"This dungeon is definitely a bizarre one. I want my money back"

Although Neo said that, he didn't stop as he charged toward the goblins and attacked them again. He wanted to use the whirlwind again, but with its demand for stamina; he felt left a little helpless, along with the intelligence the goblin commander showed. He might not get to see the tomorrow's sun if he expended all of his stamina.

He used simple moves, but the wounds accumulated, and he grimaced in pain and made his anger soar. He attacked more fiercely and finished all the goblins.

It took him over 5 minutes to settle the goblins and looked toward the goblin commander, but was stunned as he found 10 more goblins surrounding it. His mind went into overdrive as he counted the number of goblins and found that he dealt with all of them. Then he remembered one of the commander's skills. [Goblin Summon]

"He can summon goblins." Neo said to himself and charged toward the newly summoned goblins. He dealt with them quickly and charged toward the commander. He didn't want it to summon more goblins, as his stamina was already rock bottom.

Now that the commander was without his troops, although it had higher stats, Neo was able to deal with it and made a quick work of it.

『 Defeated level 20 Grimgor, the Cunning.』

『 Collecting the soul of the Grimgor, the Cunning 』

『 Collecting…』

『 Collection successful.』

『 Strength+2, Intelligence+2, Stamina+3』

Neo felt exhilarated as the lines over his core merged and only three of them were left now.

『 Successfully defended against the goblin horde. Calculating the reward.』

『Received: Blademaster's Amulet.』

"Inspect"

"Those are some good stats." Neo said as he looked at the description of this piece of jewelry and its effect. It was at least silver-rank equipment or might be semi-gold rank equipment. He wore it around his neck and moved around to see the effect, and he was really faster than before.
