"Adventurer, let's hide together!"

"Yes, that monster was terrifying. Even Lord Hassen, after working together with Lady Cecilia to kill one, couldn't handle a second one..."

The two village guards were terrified.

They witnessed their companions being turned into mincemeat under the heavy wooden club of the giant goblin, and watched as the powerful dwarf Hassen was repeatedly smashed by the giant goblin until he coughed up blood and finally collapsed from exhaustion.

Fortunately, Lord Hassen used some kind of skill at the last moment, injuring and repelling the big goblin; otherwise, they wouldn't even have had a chance to escape here.

The adventurer in front of them, whose name they did not know, was also a member of the Goblin Slayer Squad, but was said to be just a newcomer.

Even a seasoned warrior like Lord Hassen has become like this. How could a novice adventurer like him possibly stand a chance against a monster like a goblin?

"Leave it to me."

Leo offered no explanation, nor did he have time to do so.

He simply said one more thing, and then charged toward the attacking goblins.

The two goblins at the front roared excitedly.

The most powerful human has fallen unconscious. Now it's their turn to enjoy a feast of blood!

Just a mere human being...

"Pfft!"

Before the sword could even react, the two goblins' heads were already flying high into the air.

The swift and clean deaths of their two companions startled the goblins behind them, causing them to slow their pace.

If it weren't for the influence of their leader, they would have already fled in terror.

Leo stopped, his gaze fixed on the approaching goblin behind him, his body trembling slightly.

It's not because of fear.

Rather, it was because after killing those two goblins, he had accumulated enough skill experience to upgrade [Slide Step] to level 5!

The increase in basic attributes brought about by skill mastery made him tremble with excitement.

[Slide Step] Mastery: Perception +1, Agility +1!

[Slash] Mastery: Strength +1, Stamina +1!

"Come on, you big oaf."

Leo slowly raised the iron sword in his hand, and a drop of rain fell, landing precisely on the center line of the blade and being split in two.

His response was the goblin's roar, which was far more frenzied and powerful than that of an ordinary goblin, and the heavy wooden club that came swinging down in fury.

"Thump!"

A heavy wooden stick, weighing tens of pounds, slammed into the ground, sending up large splashes of murky yellow water.

If hit, let alone flesh and blood, even armored cans would likely have a dent.

As for the person inside the armor, the internal injuries caused by the blunt force trauma were enough to render them unable to move.

The Big Goblin's strength attribute is extremely exaggerated, far surpassing Leo's, at least 8 points, or even 9 points.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong or fierce the attack, it has to actually make contact.

The increased perception and agility attributes made the world appear slower to Leo.

The trajectory of the heavy wooden stick was clearly visible to him.

Moreover, Leo even had the energy to analyze the Big Goblin's situation.

"Its left leg is unnaturally bent, which must have been caused by the fight with Brother Hassen just now."

"It was breathing heavily; it probably didn't have much strength left."

"Its strength attribute is quite formidable, but its agility is rather 'clumsy,' even lower than that of a normal person, probably only around 4 points."

This attribute configuration is suitable for defensive counterattacks and for easily defeating weaker opponents, but its drawbacks become apparent when facing adventurers like Leo who have no weaknesses:

"Too slow!"

Leo calmly dodged the heavy wooden club's blows, and with his iron sword, he slashed at the goblin's injured right foot—the goblin was too tall; to behead it, Leo would need to jump first.

However, once you jump, it's difficult to change direction in mid-air, which is too dangerous.

Instead of taking the risk, it's better to "strike hard on the cripple's leg" and take it down first!

"Snap!"

The blade was deeply embedded in the goblin's leg bone. The hardness of the blade made Leo frown slightly. Sensing the roar and the sound of air being cut from above, he decisively withdrew his sword and retreated.

He had just left when Big Brother Brin released one hand from the heavy wooden club and brought it crashing down from the sky.

The whooshing sound and the bursting water droplets in mid-air sent chills down the spines of the two village guards who were still stunned not far away, instantly bringing them to their senses.

Seeing that Leo was able to hold off the big goblin, and realizing that staying here would only be a hindrance, the two immediately carried the unconscious dwarf Hassen on their backs and ran towards the temporary warehouse.

On the other side, Leo, who had dodged the attack, looked at the goblin who was already off balance and barely standing on one leg, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He admitted that he had underestimated the Big Goblin.

These elite goblins possess defensive capabilities far exceeding those of the norm.

His full-force strike failed to sever his injured right foot in one blow.

but.

"If one time isn't enough, then do it a few more times."

Leo charged forward, giving the goblin no chance to catch its breath.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Heavy wooden sticks were slammed into the ground again and again.

The enraged goblin swung its heavy wooden club wildly, trying to force Leo back as he approached.

But its resistance was doomed to failure.

If it is in its complete state, it still has a chance to try to defeat Leo by using the "defense and counterattack" strategy.

But now, the goblin, already injured and with little strength left, vented its anger, which not only prevented Leo from getting close, but also completely depleted its remaining strength.

With a loud "clang".

The goblin's hands fell limply to his sides, the heavy wooden club in his hands also collapsing powerlessly, and he was panting heavily.

"A great opportunity!"

Leo's eyes narrowed, and he decisively launched an attack.

This sword strike once again accurately hit the goblin's injured right leg, precisely in the same spot where it had just been slashed.

"Pfft!"

The goblin's right foot bone, which had been repeatedly struck by heavy blows, could no longer withstand the force and was severed by Leo.

"Croak—!"

Completely losing its balance, the goblin collapsed with a scream, its body falling sideways to the right front of Leo's position.

"call--!"

Leo took a deep breath, his eyes sharp, and then stepped forward to slash.

The iron sword drew a precise and graceful crescent arc in mid-air, slicing through the goblin's neck.

"Pfft!"

The hideous and ugly head was severed with a snap.

Compared to leg bones, the cervical vertebrae of the giant goblin are far inferior in both bone density and hardness.

The massive, dark green body, now headless, crashed to the ground, splashing mud and water.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the two village guards who had just run to the temporary warehouse turned around, wanting to see how the adventurer who had helped them stop the goblin was doing now.

Then you see the flying head and the heavy corpse falling to the ground.

The goblin, such a terrifying monster, was slain by this rookie adventurer?!

The two of them stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with shock.

"call……"

Leo let out a long sigh, and his violently pounding heart gradually calmed down.

Don't be fooled by the fact that his battle with the goblin was short.

However, the physical exertion from life-or-death battles is terrifying.

Once he had caught his breath, he looked at the panel notification that had suddenly popped up in front of him and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Wow, there was such an unexpected bonus?"
