2025-12-12 04:59:00From the shadows of the corridor, five goblins emerged snarling, snarling in language Henry couldn't comprehend except it was translated by his system. Their wooden maces glinted dully in their small but calloused hands. One by one, their beady eyes landed on the body of their fallen kin then shifted to Henry.
He was already aiming. "Tskkkk!" they shrieked and charged. "I have no choice," Henry whispered, and let go. *Whew!* The lead goblin's head snapped back. It dropped instantly, limbs twitching. [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 Experience point] The second goblin lunged and Henry sprang aside just in time. The mace missed by inches, but the gust it left behind chilled his skin. His heart pounded against his ribs with his eyes widened. "i almost lost my breath" Three goblins advanced in a frenzy, their weapons slicing through the air. Henry barely dodge their brutal swings. Then another goblin appeared. "Seriously?" he groaned. "Five again". One goblin shrieked and struck. *THWACK!* Henry blocked on instinct, but the attack sent him backward. He crashed into the wall, stone slammed his shoulder. [-5 HP] [HP:10] "Huff" Henry gasped, the wind left his lungs. The goblin charged again, snout pulled back in a vicious grin. Henry was shocked after seeing the HP notification. "Damm! the damage of a mace isn't a joke" The Golbin was still five meters away from him, his short limbs didn't make him a fast runner. Henry reached into his pouch, pulled a stone and waited. The goblin saw him still, mistaking stillness for surrender. Its lips curled into a smirk as it's raised its mace. "Fool" Henry whispered as he rolled left. The weapon smashed into stone where his head had been, dust burst upward. "Good bye" Henry whispered. *Thwip* The goblin's skull split open. It slumped forward, twitching once before falling still. [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 Experience point] The remaining four goblins stormed down the corridor, their feet pounding loudly. Henry raised his sling and fired. "Shit," he hissed as he missed. "Not an expert yet." Taking another rock from his pouch, he took a deep breath and aimed. "Time to die, I pray my target works" Henry whispered and let go of the rubber band. *Whew" The rock snapped again the nearest goblin's head and it's fell to the ground dead. [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 Experience point] "Three left, let's continue with the run and aim strategy" Henry ran. The corridor twisted and narrowed. He didn't stop until the sounds behind him thinned. Then he turned and waited. One goblin appeared. *Thwip* The rock struck its chest. The creature stumbled back and just then another rock pierced through it's throat. [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 EXP] [LEVEL UP — Level 2 Reached] "Yess!" Henry hissed. "Hmmm, this seems to have a high rate of damage" Henry whispered as he spotted the mace of the fallen Golbin and scooped it up It felt awkward, too heavy, poorly balanced but maybe it'd help. The next goblin arrived, swinging. Henry met it with a wild overhead strike. *THUNK!* [-1 HP] "What? That's all?" He stared, stunned. The goblin barely flinched. [Warning: Low Weapon Affinity. Mace damage reduced – Class: Shooter] "Figures," Henry muttered, dropping it. "Definitely not my thing." He reached for his sling. The goblin growled, joined by two more, hatred gleamed in their eyes. Henry dodged the first attack but the second cracked into him. *CRACK!* He hit the ground, skidding, fingers barely kept hold of his weapon. [-3 HP] "I'm not dying here," Henry hissed. He shoved a rock into the sling, turned, and fired from the ground. *Whew* The rock struck true, straight through the chest of the nearest attacker, It's stumbled back a little. "Still alive" Henry whispered then released another rock at the golbin that just stumbled [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 EXP] "Two left" Henry rose on shaking legs. Another rock in hand. He aimed but a taught came to his mind and he paused. The second goblin was running just behind the first. A perfect line. "Let's see if this works…" He reached into his pouch and loaded two stones.

Chapter 176 Loosing The Whisperfang
Henry forced himself to remain calm after hearing Emma's question. Internally, however, his mind was working faster than ever before. The battle against the infected Black Bear King had been difficult, but this situation felt far more dangerous. Fighting monsters was simple compared to answering questions from experienced knights. One wrong answer could expose everything. Fortunately, during his run back to the carriage, he had already prepared a story. He had repeated it over and over in his head until it sounded natural enough that even he almost believed it himself."I don't know," Henry replied while pretending to think about it. He glanced toward the forest where the instructors had disappeared moments ago before shrugging slightly. "Maybe they were chasing after something." His answer sounded casual and uncertain, exactly how someone in his situation would respond. The less information he provided voluntarily, the less likely someone would notice inconsistencies. At least, that
Chapter 175 Perfect Plan
"The beast is getting away!" Louis shouted at the top of his lungs the moment he realized the goblin had no intention of remaining in the clearing. His voice echoed through the forest as he pointed toward the section of trees where the creature had disappeared. Gareth and Tyler immediately turned in the direction he indicated, but they were already too late. The goblin was nowhere to be seen. Only a few shaking branches remained behind, silently revealing the path the creature had taken moments earlier. The realization immediately frustrated the three instructors because after everything that had happened, they still had no answers regarding the mysterious goblin or the legendary bow in its possession.Without wasting any more time, the three knights charged into the forest. Their boots pounded heavily against the ground while leaves and loose dirt scattered beneath their feet. Each of them pushed their bodies forward at incredible speed, hoping to catch sight of the fleeing goblin be
Chapter 174 Infected Beast Reward
"I don't care where that monster learned how to do that, but we have to end its life now. It's a huge threat," Louis spoke while tightening his grip around the handle of his sword. His voice carried a seriousness that neither Gareth or Tyler questioned. During all his years as a knight, Louis had encountered creatures capable of extraordinary feats, but never a corrupted bear capable of controlling fog and creating a tornado. Every instinct he possessed was warning him that allowing such a creature to survive would be disastrous. If it escaped into a populated area, the number of casualties it could cause would be unimaginable. The thought alone was enough to strengthen his resolve.Gareth and Tyler silently agreed. Both men stood several meters apart with their weapons already raised and their bodies positioned for combat. The three instructors slowly formed a wide semicircle around the infected bear, making sure it had no obvious route of escape. Their movements were cautious and de
Chapter 173 Faraway Enemies
The raging tornado still lingered across the battlefield like a living disaster that refused to die, tearing through the forest with brutal force and uncontrolled mana. Trees were uprooted completely, their massive trunks snapping and twisting before being swallowed by the swirling winds, while rocks and shattered debris circled endlessly like weapons waiting to be released.Louis gritted his teeth as he drove his sword deep into the ground, both hands wrapped tightly around the hilt while his boots slid backward under the pressure of the wind. Even with mana reinforcing his muscles, his entire body trembled violently as he tried to resist the overwhelming force pushing him away from the center of the storm.“Damn it…!” Louis growled through clenched teeth, his voice barely audible over the roaring winds that threatened to tear everything apart in the area.Gareth stood slightly behind him, his hands raised as he maintained a mana barrier that shimmered violently under pressure. Crack
Chapter 172 Massive Tornado
Henry struggled to push himself upright after the latest exchange with the infected Black Bear King. Every movement sent waves of pain through his body, forcing him to grit his teeth just to remain standing. When he finally managed to straighten himself, he immediately noticed blood dripping steadily from the deep wounds across his chest. The bear's claws had cut far deeper than he initially thought. His breathing felt heavier, and his vision briefly blurred when he checked his status window. The sight that greeted him was enough to make his expression darken. Nearly half of his health was gone. For the first time since the battle began, he realized that continuing to fight recklessly could easily get him killed before he ever had a chance to claim the reward."Dammm," Henry muttered while pressing a hand against his injured chest. His voice carried both frustration and annoyance. He had finally found a quest with an incredible reward, only to discover that the enemy guarding it was m
Chapter 171 One Powerful Strike
Louis continued watching the battlefield below while the fog slowly thickened between the trees, making the already chaotic scene even harder to read. From his position on the high branch, he could still clearly see the infected Black Bear King and the goblin with the help of the moon light, but every few seconds the mist would rise just enough to blur their movements before thinning again. It was an unnatural rhythm, almost as if the forest itself was breathing around them.Tyler broke the silence again after watching the goblin continue fighting below. The more he observed, the more tempting the opportunity looked. The bear was clearly injured from its earlier clash with the instructors, and now it was focused entirely on the goblin. “We should use this opportunity to finish it,” Tyler said again, his voice lower but more insistent this time. “It’s distracted. If we strike together now, we might actually bring it down before it recovers.” Gareth didn’t respond immediately, instead n
