Chapter 101: Defeat the Goblins, Finish the Mission
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yi stealthily followed the sound of snoring. To his surprise, he saw a huge green body in the innermost part of the cave with a chest that heaved up and down.
“It looks like the one inside is the leader of this group of Goblins. There’s only one here, I’ll leave it up to the two of you now.”
“The two of us?”
Snow Chaser looked at herself and Clutch King hesitantly.
“Don’t be afraid, this is to train your tacit understanding. In the future, we’ll fight side by side. I won’t be able to protect both of you all the time. You’ll have to learn to look out for each other.”
After hearing this, Snow Chaser nodded and immediately discussed tactics with Clutch King.
Li Yi, on the other hand, was secretly hidden on the side. After they planned their moves, Snow Chaser casted a small Fireball Spell inside.
“-500!”
The Fireball Spell successfully hit the targeted Goblin. This immediately alerted the surrounding Goblins of a stranger’s presence.
When all the Goblins realized that there was an enemy, they immediately picked up the wooden mallet on their sides and charged at Snow Chaser.
[Level 15 Bandit Goblin]
[HP: 1,000]
[Physical Attack: 500]
[Physical Defense: 50]
Li Yi looked at the Goblin’s interface and saw that it had improved its attributes from picking up a weapon. The leader inside was still asleep. Now that there was no leader to command their positions, their attack methods would be simple and chaotic.
Li Yi had encountered these types of Goblins before. Those Goblins were fully armed, and each of their combat strength was above 1,000. Not only that, but they also had different types of soldiers, and they were wearing all kinds of armor. It was commendable that they were good at fighting and were very disciplined, but it gave him a headache knowing he would have to go through them to complete the mission.
However, this was the first time Li Yi had met these types of Goblins. These Goblins had obviously not formed a unified and complete army, and they did not wake up their leader immediately after meeting the enemy, it was a world of difference from the Goblins he had met before. Could it be because of the butterfly effect he had brought about?
Snow Chaser stood outside the cave. When she saw that the Goblins had reacted, she immediately began to cast different spells.
“Wrath of Thunder!”
“-1,200!”
“-1,203!”
“-1,213!”
…
Right as the Goblins were about to hit Snow Chaser, bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky and fell on the Goblins around Snow Chaser, burning them into ashes.
After being hit, some higher HP Goblins had tiny electric currents flowing through their bodies, they were shocked by the bolts.
“Well done!”
Clutch King suddenly appeared behind these Goblins and reaped their lives one by one.
“-5,120!”
“-5,230!”
“-5,110!”
…
In a short while, all the Goblins around Snow Chaser were wiped out. Only a few were left in the cave.
An angry roar suddenly came from the cave. Li Yi and Clutch King turned their heads together towards the sound of the roar.
They saw a weak-looking Goblin that wore clothes made of sackcloth with a strange skeleton on its head alongside a bone staff in its hand.
[Boss: LV20 Goblin Wizard]
[Rarity: Silver]
[HP: 12,000
[Physical Attack: 120]
[Magic Attack: 420]
[Physical Defense: 220]
[Magic Defense: 500]
[Boss Skill: Curse Ray]
[Specialty: Can control Goblins that are of lower levels.]
Assessing this Goblin panel, Li Yi’s eyes lit up. Could this be the real leader?
The Goblin Wizard shouted at the sleeping Goblin, and the originally sleeping Goblin instantly woke up. After hearing the Goblin Wizard’s chattering, he looked at Li Yi, and instantly became very angry.
It seemed that he understood that Li Yi and the others had killed the other Goblins.
[Level 19 Mutated Goblin (elite)]
[HP: 9,200]
[Physical Attack: 500]
[Physical Defense: 180]
[Magic Defense: 40]
Li Yi did not expect that this Goblin was only an elite monster. In the past, although this type of Goblin came in large groups, they were just mere soldiers. They were not supposed to be as strong as they are now. Their advantage was supposed to be in numbers.
Therefore, Li Yi paid little attention to them. He did not know much about them, so it was normal for him to misjudge their teamwork.
“It looks like there’s no need for me to make a move, just wait and see you guys.”
It was a rare opportunity for Clutch King to show off, so he had to make good use of it.
Now that Clutch King was Level 21, it was a piece of cake for him to defeat a level 19 monster like this.
Clutch King raised his twin blades and was about to confront the Mutated Goblin head-on. Right as Clutch King was about to give the Mutated Goblin a fatal blow, a small purple lightning bolt struck at him. Fortunately, Clutch King reacted in time and dodged the small lightning bolt’s attack.
Clutch King turned his head to look at Snow Chaser, who shook her head and pointed in the Goblin Wizard’s direction.
Clutch King looked back and saw that the Wizard seemed to be chanting some kind of spell as he waved his bone staff with both hands.
As the bone staff swung at Clutch King, another small purple lightning bolt struck at him.
Just as Clutch King dodged the small lightning bolt, a heavy punch came at him again.
“-1,212! Heavy Blow!”
Clutch King had no time to dodge the successive attacks, so he had to take this punch head-on.
“How troublesome.”
Clutch King was very unhappy now. Although his opponent was very weak, he had nowhere to put his strength as he kept getting intercepted.
The corners of Li Yi’s mouth curled up secretly as he crossed his arms in front of his chest and watched the battle in front of him quietly.
Clutch King glanced at Li Yi on the side. He suddenly felt a sense of hatred for himself.
He could not believe that he actually had the thought of asking Li Yi for help. Were he to do that, there would be no way for him to become stronger like this.
“Snow Chaser! Go deal with that Wizard. I’ll help you after I finish off this big guy.”
Hearing Clutch King’s words, Snow Chaser nodded and threw a Fireball spell at the Wizard.
The Wizard was casting a spell when he saw Snow Chaser’s Fireball attack fly over. He hurriedly stopped what he was doing and dodged the Fireball.
Coincidentally, this dodge gave Clutch King an opportunity to attack the Mutated Goblin.
Clutch King dodged the Mutated Goblin’s fist and quickly attacked a few times in quick succession from behind.
“-5,231!”
“-5,121!”
“-5,021!”
…
The Mutated Goblin had no chance when it came to Clutch King’s speedy attacks. He was instantly killed!
At the same time, Snow Chaser could not defeat the Wizard from such a long-range. By this time, Clutch King — who had taken care of the Mutated Gobling — was already behind the Wizard and had quickly taken care of him.
“-8,431! Critical Hit!”
“-5,321!”
“-5,221!”
