This adventurer is overly righteous.

Kroya looked at the wooden stick falling from the sky, but his heart remained unmoved.

As he approached the goblin camp, the charging of his charged attack had already begun.

A pale blue glow enveloped the blade of Kroya's sword. As Kroya raised his sword, a unique sense of power surged within him, allowing him to fearlessly confront the descending wooden club head-on.

Almost instantly, an immense force emanated from the sword, and the goblin's wooden club was sliced ​​in two by Kroya in a flash.

Shock, fear.

Kroya could see that expression in the mutated goblin's eyes. The next moment, Kroya's sword chopped off half of the goblin's head. The half of the skull and brain tissue slowly slid down the wound and fell to the ground, making an insignificant sound like a piece of trash.

It consumed 1.5 units of magic power.

Kroya used a full unit of magic to perform a charged slash, and then used half a unit of magic to cast a protective spell to safeguard his sword.

After witnessing the mutated goblin being instantly killed by Kroya's sword, the ordinary goblins were terrified. Kroya dealt with them with ease, even a novice adventurer could easily handle a group of ordinary goblins.

"If it weren't for gaining the charged slash and new abilities, things would probably be much more troublesome."

Kroya did not leave the camp. Instead, after cutting off the goblin's left ear, he remained hidden in the camp, waiting for the other goblins to return.

The goblin's left ear is proof of quest completion required by the Adventurers' Guild. The guild's front desk can use it to confirm whether an adventurer has truly completed the quest.

In this boring moment, Kroya couldn't help but review his battle.

Without his newly acquired abilities, Kroya was confident that he could still complete the mission. With the defensive capabilities of his protection spell, the goblins would be completely unable to harm him. However, Kroya was not able to kill the mutated goblins as easily as before.

It seems we'll have to go through a lot of back-and-forth with the other side.

The charged slash's effectiveness in actual combat was surprisingly good.

The blessing of the gods also played a significant role; without that hidden ability, Kroya would probably have had to break through the camp head-on, which would have been just as troublesome.

You cleared away the rampaging goblins; that deserves praise.

[Magic power slightly increased]

Kroya waited patiently in the goblin camp. It was almost evening when he noticed a group of goblins staggering towards him in the distance. Kroya then adjusted his position, hiding his figure in the shadows inside the fence, ready to strike first as soon as they got close.

  

Kroya believed that those guys were probably the other goblins in these camps who had gone out for some unknown reason, giving Kroya an opportunity.

The number of goblins matched, but Kroa keenly noticed the anomaly.

They seem to have brought something back.

The six goblins were lined up in a small team, with two mutated goblins at the front and back of the team, respectively. The four goblins in the middle were carrying something on their backs and walking excitedly. Kroya squinted and carefully observed. As they got closer, he could see clearly what the goblins were carrying.

The woman was unconscious, blood slowly dripping from her forehead to the ground. Her light gray linen clothes were torn to shreds, and Kroya could see large bruises left on her body by the goblins. Even though the woman was unconscious, the goblins would occasionally pinch her and let out sharp, unpleasant laughter.

It appears they attacked a village and abducted a woman there...

Your anger at the atrocities you witnessed is a commendable act of kindness.

[Strength slightly increased]

Kroya silently gripped her sword. Everyone knew why the goblins kidnapped the woman.

The goblins stopped a short distance away. Their more acute sense of smell than humans detected the bloody stench in the air, a scent originating from their camp, which caused a slight commotion among them.

However, the camp was not destroyed, and the goblins did not intend to abandon their camp. So the mutated goblin at the head of the group pushed a normal goblin out of the group.

"Gaa"

"Gah..."

The ordinary goblin was unwilling to risk going to check their camp, but the power of the mutated goblins made it powerless to resist, so it could only enter the camp with fear and tension.

Its flat feet trod on the dried blood of its companions, and it looked around timidly and cowardly. The corpses of its companions were scattered in different places, as if they had been chased by some powerful creature and had no way to escape. What frightened it even more was the corpse of the mutated goblin, which held a large wooden club cut in two in its hand, and whose head had also been cut in two.

In the goblin's eyes, these tall, mutated goblins were extremely powerful beings. However, the fact that they had also died in the camp made it even more afraid.

It was sent to scout ahead because it was worried that the other side might appear and set up an ambush. In its anxiety, the ordinary goblin tremblingly looked around the entire camp before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

However, due to excessive tension, coupled with the bloody smell of the dead goblin interfering with its sense of smell, it failed to notice Kroya as it passed by several times. Kroya also suppressed its urge to kill the goblin and waited quietly.

After receiving the report from the ordinary goblins, the remaining goblins lowered their guard and entered the camp with their spoils. The death of their companion had a significant impact on them, so they tidied up the corpses and piled them together. As for the woman, she was tied to the sheep pen with vines. She remained unconscious, her fate unknown, but the goblins didn't care.

"Clatter!"

The two mutated goblins let out loud noises, seemingly conveying their anger. This revitalized the previously frustrated and frightened goblins, who waved their bone clubs around, making a clattering sound, in an attempt to dispel their fear.

"Ugh!"

The two mutated goblins shouted again, seemingly more intelligent than the other goblins. The other goblins appeared to have forgotten that their companion had just been killed and began circling the still-burning campfire.

They only stopped moving when Kroya's figure appeared in the firelight.

"Gah!"

The goblin's voice turned into a terrified scream.
