An S-ranked Party’s Burden Tamer, I Awoke My True Power by Having My Familiar Killed

As I entered the forest and looked around, most of the goblins had already been defeated.

“Oh, you’re late,” said Milim as she blew away a hobgoblin’s head with a chop.

“The whole area is filled with blood… I don’t think there’s anything left for me to do.”

“I’ve saved the main dish for you.”

“The main dish…”

There was a big guy among the goblins who had a size and aura that set him apart from the others. Right now, he was locked in a stare-down with Rei, so he wasn’t moving…

“Goblin King…”

Its overflowing aura had such a pressure that even an average opponent would feel it from just facing him.

“For now, how about you just take care of the goblins around us?”

“Sure…”

Necromancy of the hobgoblin successful. Reflected in status.Necromancy of the high goblin successful. Reflected in status.Necromancy of the goblin shaman successful. Reflected in status.Necromancy of the sword goblin successful. Reflected in status.Necromancy of the goblin army successful. Reflected in status.Improved the abilities of your familiar through ability absorption.

Countless voices resonated simultaneously in my head. There were supposed to be 70 bodies… amazing…

“Did you gain any new skills?”

“No, it seems they were just reflected in our status.”

“Well, that makes sense.”

It was known that if the skills we already had were stronger, they would just be reflected in our skills or status. It seems it would be difficult to gain new skills from the goblins at this point.

“Still, it’s amazing that we can become stronger just by doing this…”

I once again recognized the power of necromancy.

“If it’s the Goblin King, he might have an extra skill or something.”

“An extra skill, huh?”

Even if I’m numb to it already, having just one would mean not having to worry about food and even having the potential to be called a hero. It’s not something that is usually obtained easily, but… 

Well, let’s think about that after we get it.

“Rei, you can step back.”

“Kyuoon!”

As soon as Rei returned, I stroked him as he clung to me.

“Gumoooo”

“Thanks, Ace.”

Ace was appealing to me by twisting off the head of a high goblin, so I praised him.

“Earl will be on standby.”

“Kyuuu!”

As the Goblin King slowly walked towards us, the goblins around him lined to clear the way.

“To be a monster and act like a king, it’s kind of funny.”

“That sounds like a line from a perfect villain…”

As Milim made me feel like the bad guy, I faced off against the Goblin King.
