Chapter 19: Goblin King
"Yes I am, are you going to talk or are we going to fight?"
James thought he should let it all go for the moment and sarcastically voiced the question. His pupils were jet black. It offered him an incredibly dark air at night.
The reason why he attacked at night was of course the positive effects his class gave him. He had incredible items that gave him power, he knew that no player who had joined the tower had such a huge power at such an early level.
The ability to see the colours of Gacha and the cards and pick the ones that were guaranteed gave him immense power at such an early level, and he was sure that this power would increase exponentially before he reached the 5th floor.
Each time he used Gacha, he would gain even greater power, and even the worst items would put him ahead of the others.
"YOU BASTARD!" one of the goblins suddenly shouted, and with that, all the goblins charged towards James.
Even if James hadn't thought about each of them suddenly jumping on him he had decided that it would be much better, the more they jumped on him the less energy he would lose, after all, 3 kills with one slash were better than 1 kill with one slash.
"PIERCE!" shouted James and he pierced a goblin right through the throat with Clarent, the next moment he swung the sword as easily as if he were cutting a straw and slashed the goblin's throat, cutting another goblin in half right next to it.
He was happy when he thought of the spinning rights he would gain from this, and this gave him even greater determination.
With each move, another goblin died, and the ones James couldn't kill died on their own, collapsing to the ground from the poison.
It was at that moment that what James had been waiting for finally happened. Heavy footsteps were coming from beyond the tribe, something seemed to be running towards James, causing another window to open in front of him:
[Legendary Achievement Won!
Encounter an enemy of [king] rank for the first time.
You get to choose a card.]
[You have earned Healing Potion(Highest Level) from the card.]
James closed the window as soon as he saw it, since he got his reward he didn't need to look at it and stared at the incredibly overweight and fast monster coming at him.
All the goblins who saw him instantly retreated and James and the Goblin King faced each other.
James was surprised by what he saw:
[Goblin King (Level 34)]
The goblin king had more purple spots than any goblin he had ever seen, it was obvious that he had been poisoned the most, but the poison could only weaken him so much.
This didn't make sense, what kind of monster was this?
"YOU!"
James realised that every hair on his body stood on end as soon as he heard that voice, he was relieved that he had Clarent braced to meet the attack and firmly planted himself on the ground.
He had both uses of the Void Ring, and the Void Necklace would give him a huge advantage if he tried to dodge and attack. He had no definite idea what he should do.
At that very moment, he began to look at the corpses around him.
"Exploitation." he thought and put Clarent in his inventory and started running.
One by one the corpses around him began to dry and each time this happened James felt his body grow a small amount stronger.
"The exploitation of 100 monsters has been completed. +3 will be added to your power stat."
James felt every muscle in his body grow instantly, his muscles had grown, and even though they still looked the same size as before, it wasn't hard to tell that they had grown.
"More!" shouted James furiously, as he continued to exploit the corpses of all the dead goblins in each area he passed and moved on to the next.
It was wonderful that he was doing this while he was still running away from the Goblin King who was chasing him furiously, he could feel the blood pumping from his beating heart and the adrenaline surging through his body with each step.
"The exploitation of 100 monsters has been completed. +3 will be added to your Agility stat."
As soon as James saw this notification, he changed his path and started running backwards, surprising the Goblin King. It was possible to see that all the goblins around were dead, but it was not possible to say the same for the Goblin King.
The Goblin King looked healthier than James' normal state, maybe he had internal wounds and his level had dropped, but it would be completely normal to say that he was still very strong.
After a short run, the third manifestation appeared in front of his eyes, adding 3 points to his power stat.
Knowing that this was the maximum he could get at the moment, James decided that there was no point in running away. He took out Clarent and instantly turned around and directly countered the Goblin King.
The moment the club in the Goblin King's hand collided with Clarent, James was dragged back a few steps.
He had no advantage in strength, and none in endurance. His intelligence may have been higher than the Goblin King's, but one thing was for sure, his agility stat was higher than this monster, after all, he couldn't escape from it otherwise.
He had to use it to his advantage, as fast as he could.
"I WILL KILL YOU! YOU DESTROYED MY REIGN!"
Amidst the Goblin King's shouts, James used his Dark Step ability and suddenly accelerated, trying to cut off the monster's leg.
With each step, his speed increased exponentially, but the impact on his body was just as great. The 12-step movement held a huge aura, even the user himself had difficulty using it.
Nevertheless, thanks to his use of the ability, his attack was successful.
"RUUUUAAGGGHHH!!!"
A gigantic shriek echoed in James' ears and stunned him for a few seconds. When he looked back at the Goblin King after a few seconds had passed, he could see that one of his legs was on fire.
"This is my luck!" thought James, he never knew he could be so wrong.
