Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

The sound of wind and rain.

Gasping, hissing, screaming.

Countless sounds, near and far, rushed into Leo's ears.

All these sounds gradually "disappeared" as Leo, in his sprint, focused his attention entirely on the four goblins in front of him.

Upon seeing humans approaching, the goblin at the front, gripping a rough wooden stick, reacted with excitement.

Like a bloodthirsty berserker, it leaped up, its short body reaching half a person's height, and then, with the wooden stick tightly gripped in its hand, it slammed it heavily onto Leo's head.

That dark green, wrinkled, ugly face looked like a demon.

Leo's gaze remained calm as he saw the approaching goblins reflected in his eyes.

These goblins seemed to be of better individual quality and more frenzied than the ones he had encountered in Silvermoon Forest.

Perhaps it was influenced by the individual leaders that emerged?

Leo is unsure.

But it's okay.

Because now, I am no longer the "newcomer" who could only leave the forest under the protection of the Goblin Squad.

Having mastered one skill to level 5 and another to level 4, he could be considered a qualified prospective professional.

The only drawback is the lack of practical experience.

But... the goblin in front of us isn't exactly an elite individual among goblins.

"Whoosh—!"

The rough wooden stick made a whistling sound as it was swung.

But the next second, the goblin's excited expression froze on his face.

The attack, which was expected to kill the "prey" with a single blow to the head, missed.

Before the goblin, whose brain was no bigger than an egg, could even react to what had happened...

A silver-gray sword shadow rapidly magnified in its line of sight.

"Pfft!"

The blood-red flowers blooming in mid-air mingled with the rain, appearing somewhat eerie.

The goblin's head flew high into the air before falling back down due to gravity.

Its reddish, cloudy yellow eyes were filled with astonishment, but as it came to its senses, the astonishment in its eyes turned into fear.

It doesn't want to die!

The king has just been born, and under his leadership, the species will surely prosper!

But its vision inevitably began to gradually sink into darkness.

Before it fell to its death, it had only a line of vision left, and it saw the headless corpses of its three companions lying in pools of blood.

What kind of "monster" did I encounter?

With this thought in mind, the goblin completely lost consciousness.

"call--"

Leo exhaled a deep, long breath that was slightly hot.

Blood slid down the blade of the iron sword in his hand, gathered at the tip, congealed into drops, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Clatter!"

The sound of blood splattering pulled Leo out of his "total concentration" state.

The world we perceive seems to have returned to vibrant colors from a relative black and white.

His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the four goblin corpses on the ground.

"It was much easier than I expected..."

He had expected a "fierce battle," but in reality, it was a crushing defeat.

"Hey."

Leo suddenly smiled.

At this moment, he truly realized his own growth and the meaning of striving to become stronger!

【技能】：劈砍lv.5（120/1600）、滑步lv.4（120/800）

Leo's eyes lit up as he looked at the control panel.

Perhaps because he had never done this before and had accumulated too much experience, the skill and experience gained from the "real combat training" was much greater than he had expected.

In other words, each goblin killed grants 30 points of [Slash] experience and 30 points of [Slide] experience.

Using the [Mirror Back to the Beginning] skill, this transformation will result in 240 points of class experience for a single class skill.

It's even more than he practiced hard all day!

"Two or three more waves, and that'll be enough to push [Slide Step] to level 5!"

Leo's eyes were bright.

The difference of one level is two points of basic attribute difference brought about by "Mastery".

It greatly enhances practical skills!

Leo looked into the distance and could vaguely see two unusual goblins near the village entrance, some even larger than adults.

Those were elite individuals among the goblins, the Great Goblin!

It is also something that I, in my current state, am not confident in dealing with.

But if Leo also masters the [Slide Step]... he will be confident of victory.

Leo retreated to the front of the temporary warehouse, his brows furrowed slightly.

Based on what he observed.

The goblin horde's offensive was simply too frenzied. Even though the village guards led by the dwarf Hassen and Cecilia had suffered considerable casualties, they still showed no sign of retreating.

If this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before the village's defenses crumble.

Once everyone retreats to the temporary warehouse, the goblins on the outside will launch a series of attacks, and it will only be a matter of time before the temporary warehouse is breached.

In this way, let alone holding out for a whole day, even half a day would be a luxury.

In this situation, where did Captain Gemma go?

Thinking of the leader of the goblin horde, who has yet to appear, Leo seemed to be deep in thought.

But at this moment, he had no time to think about it.

Leo's gaze shifted upwards.

Ahead, several more goblins were chasing after the fleeing villagers, heading towards the makeshift warehouse.

……

In a dense forest several hundred meters away from Huashi Village.

Captain Gomez walked through the rain, his armor clad, yet his footsteps were light and silent.

He climbed a tall tree and looked out at the large number of goblins gathered in the clearing ahead.

The number is still close to fifty.

The deeper you go, the stronger the goblins become, and there are even three elite individuals among them.

Two goblin wolf riders, and one goblin shaman.

"There are too many elite individuals..."

Including the two large goblins that are attacking the village, there are now five elite individuals.

Generally speaking, a goblin leader having three elite goblins under their command is considered a lot.

Captain Gomon's eyes, visible through the gaps in his mask, held a solemn expression.

His gaze swept over the three elite individuals and landed at the very center, on the special being carried by a dozen goblins on a huge wooden frame!

Its body was as large and fat as a mountain, with layers of fat that jiggled as it moved forward.

But its metallic sheen suggests that its thick, wrinkled skin is not a defense that can be easily breached.

—Leader Individual, Goblin Overseer!

"finally found you."

Captain Gomez's eyes were as cold as ice.

The reason he didn't stay in the village and hold out with the others was that he came alone to deal with the goblin leader.

Captain Goblin Slayer's extensive experience in goblin extermination has made one thing very clear to him: as long as the leader exists, the goblins under its command are almost always in a state of "frenzy".

Not to mention, this goblin leader is a Goblin Overlord, a being skilled at leading large-scale goblins.

If it doesn't die, the village can't be defended.

There are so many goblins, even if they worked themselves to death, they couldn't possibly kill them all.

Only by killing the goblin overseer and plunging the goblin horde into chaos, fighting amongst themselves, can the village possibly be defended.

Only then will there be a chance to wait for "reinforcements" to arrive.

Captain Gomez, hidden in the tree canopy, did not make any rash moves.

He simply watched indifferently as the goblin army gradually approached the direction of Flowerstone Village.

Until a certain moment.

Captain Goku's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he crushed the object in his hand without hesitation.

next moment.

"Boom!"

One after another, blinding flashes of fire erupted from various places in the rain.

One of the brightest flames erupted precisely where the Goblin Overlord was located.

This is the alchemical explosives that Captain Gokumatsu had laid in advance during his ten days of reconnaissance!
