Chapter 20 - Humans (2) (1/2)
Humans (2)
The mass appearance began. A large number of Goblin Fighters rushed at me.
I smashed them all at once and cut them down on the spot. It was annoying to find their scattered bodies later, so I made sure they fell in a pile.
More and more Goblin Fighters came at me.
They were good opponents to practice Power Attacks without risk, and I didn’t hesitate to use it as long as I had mana.
“Kyiii!”
“Ha!”
[You gained 50 experience]
[You acquired 10 bronze.]
It’s time to admit it. I enjoyed swinging the sword. It was fun to break the enemy’s neck and take his life. It was good to wield an ax and smash them or pierce them with a spear.
The moment I overcame the enemy was enjoyable. It was a little bit stronger, and it was so much fun to get experience.

“Kiak!”
“Oh, ah!”
[Goblin Fighter Predation After Hunting 724/1,000]
[Beginner Power Attack has become Lv4.]
The Goblin Fighters are now too weak for me, so sadly, they can’t increase my abilities too much. It wasn’t meaningless, though, as I still leveled up my Power Attack.
While I was repeating indiscriminate slaughter and predation like that, I could hear the siblings were very slowly advancing through the dungeon.
“Hoo, hoo…”
“I’m glad I’m a combatant. Did you gain experience?”
“Yes, brother.”
“Let’s move slowly after a little rest. If we see a stronger goblin, we must run away.”
“Huh.”
The siblings were more cautious than the three. Of course, my voice was still loud, but it wasn’t enough to call all the Goblin Fighters together.
I am making a big fuss in the cave now.
Maybe, I am helping my brother and sister survive.
Of course, I didn’t know how my presence would affect them. I have no intention of seeking the siblings and killing them. They are far too weak for me.
If they had been strong, I would have been hunted and killed as a monster the moment I encountered them, regardless of their cautious character.
So… no.
Still, I think it will be a little bit heartbreaking when they die.
My pretense and hypocrisy are painful. Am I sympathetic to them because they are weak? Do I really feel different about the death of another human being, or is it just because they remind me of my little sister?
That’s arrogant. It is a thought to be abandoned.
Any human, if they aim to harm me, I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them to survive.
[Goblin Fighter Predation After Hunting 872/1,000]
I deliberately dismissed my thoughts, scattered my interest in siblings, and dealt only with my enemies. I killed them and ate them as soon as possible. I didn’t want to think about more useless thoughts.
“Kyii, kyii!”
“Kyii, kyii!”
[Goblin Fighter Predation After Hunting 968/1,000]
However, something changed when the number of Goblin Fighters fell below fifty.
“Kyii!”
“Kyii!”
The Goblin Fighters seemed to regain a little reason in their tiny brains. Instead of rushing in, they started to turn and run away from me.
Why? Is it because the level difference between me and them is severe? Or maybe I slaughtered a lot of them too soon?
Anyway, they started running away from me and the speed was strangely fast.
The siblings were in the direction of their escape.
“Can I really go in?”
“A little bit. If I catch a little more, I think the level will rise.”
Silly brother and sister.
I went after the Goblin Fighters straight away.
The Goblin Fighters won’t respawn for the next few hours. I have to catch them or be bothered in waiting for hours to complete the target.
Is that really the reason? I asked myself.
“Kyiii!”
“Kyiii!”
The Goblin Fighters may not be faster than me, but it was quite cumbersome to chase the scattered guys.
Eventually, I missed a few of them, and they ended up crossing the aisle.
It was where the stupid siblings were.
“Chi.”
I clicked my tongue unconsciously.
Of course, if I eat what I’ve cut down so far, it might be enough to reach 1,000.
