Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

The rain intensified, threatening to completely submerge the entire Huashi Village.

"Click, click..."

At the village entrance, a chilling chewing sound rang out.

But it didn't last long before it gradually stopped.

A strange goblin covered in deep black patterns pulled its head out of the mangled chest cavity of a corpse.

Its mouth was open, revealing sharp teeth stained with blood.

The goblin leader's eyes were filled with confusion.

This flesh and blood, which should have satisfied it, which should have replenished the resources it needed after its transformation, now seemed so "bland and tasteless" compared to the attraction that was driving it almost mad not far away.

What exactly is there?

It doesn't know.

But its instincts told it that if it used that thing as food to replenish itself during its metamorphosis, it would become even stronger!

The goblin leader slowly rose from the wreckage.

On its lean and muscular body, the dark patterns on the surface began to pulsate as if alive, emitting an eerie glow.

In the light, its body gradually became transparent, like a shadow blending into the rain curtain, silently heading towards the source of the aura that drove it mad.

The muddy dirt road along the way seemed to lose its resistance under its feet.

It was incredibly fast, yet so light that it didn't even make a splash.

In a short while, it arrived near the temporary warehouse.

The warehouse door was half-open, and through the crack, one could vaguely see the flickering candlelight inside.

The goblin leader's gaze, peering through the tiny crack in the door, instantly locked onto the petite figure inside the storeroom who was standing guard beside the unconscious dwarf—Little Eve.

It couldn't help but swallow.

It's her! It's her!

If I eat her, I will become even more "perfect"!

On Little Eve, the goblin leader felt an unprecedented "deliciousness" that made every cell in its body cheer with joy.

It was a temptation sweeter than any flesh and blood, as if by devouring her, one could transcend the shackles of race and evolve into a higher level of existence.

"hiss……"

A very faint, greedy growl escaped from the goblin leader's throat.

Then, it stopped suppressing itself and drifted toward the warehouse.

As for the human guarding the warehouse entrance?

If it were a human professional guarding this place, it would be a bit more cautious, after all, having just broken free from its "parasite," its physical functions are in their weakest state.

But what about a weak person who doesn't even have "professional acumen"?

They don't even have the right to see it!

……

"Drip, drip, drip..."

In Huashi Village, at the temporary warehouse, the gate was closed with only a crack remaining.

Leo stood holding his sword.

He gazed into the distance, his unease growing ever stronger.

How's Captain Gomez doing? Is Cecilia still safe?

Leo wanted to go and help, but behind him were the elderly and weak of Flower Stone Village, as well as little Eve and the unconscious dwarf Hassen.

If he leaves, goblins will attack, and they will all die.

"call……"

Leo let out a long breath, his grip on the iron sword tightening and loosening repeatedly.

As his emotions surged, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

The heavy rain continued to pour down, and everything seemed unchanged.

But suddenly he felt a sense of crisis, as if he were sitting on pins and needles!

"Something's wrong... something's getting closer!"

Leo's pupils contracted sharply.

This is his highest base attribute: 7 points in Perception, which triggers his alert!

Leo's eyes darted around, scanning his surroundings, but he saw nothing.

There was no figure, no footsteps, and not even the trajectory of the rain curtain changed.

It was as if this crisis was just his imagination.

"Is it invisibility? Or... is it too fast?"

Alarm bells rang in Leo's mind.

He took a deep breath, trying to focus his attention to observe more closely.

But apart from an increasingly strong sense of crisis, he could see nothing else.

A perception level of 7 is insufficient to detect the enemy's "concealment"!

What to do!

Leo was anxious.

The warehouse was right behind him; he had nowhere left to retreat.

As his thoughts raced, a flash of inspiration struck Leo.

"panel!"

With a thought, he summoned his attribute panel.

Suddenly, an antique mirror appeared before his eyes.

Leo has always checked his attribute panel through the mirror of the Primal Mirror.

But besides displaying the panel, a mirror can also reflect things itself.

However, given the "Other Colors - Crimson" quality of the "Primordial Mirror" and its "concealment" which cannot be detected by the 7 points of perception, it may not be able to hide from it!

Leo's gaze was fixed on the outer area of ​​the mirror, excluding the central panel.

Then he saw it.

A bizarre goblin, its body covered in deep black patterns and semi-transparent, appeared silently beside him, less than half a body length away!

It walked into the warehouse, its eyes gleaming with a greedy light that almost overflowed the mirror.

"Found you!"

A cold glint flashed in Leo's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation or even turning around, he used the direction reflected in the mirror to swing his sword with his right hand and slash fiercely at the seemingly empty void behind him!

"hiss--!"

The sword blade pierced the air with a sharp whistling sound.

The goblin leader, who thought he was perfectly hidden and was about to pounce on little Eve, with a greedy and cruel smile on his face, suddenly froze.

An incredulous look of astonishment appeared in its cloudy eyes.

This human actually saw through its proud "shadow stealth" technique!

How is that possible?!

Just an ordinary person!

The strike came too suddenly, catching it completely off guard. By then, it was too late to defend or dodge.

Panic flickered in the goblin leader's eyes.

But not many.

Although it doesn't know how this ordinary person saw through it, it's not a big problem.

It is a true monster. A mere ordinary person, wielding an ordinary weapon, cannot be harmed even if it takes no precautions and is at its weakest...

"Pfft!"

Amidst the splatter of dark red blood, a head filled with astonishment shot into the sky.

The transparent body appeared, swayed twice, and then crashed to the ground, splashing up a cloud of mud and water.

Until his death, the goblin leader couldn't understand why he would die by the sword of this seemingly insignificant human, even though he had already completed his transformation.

In the end, its doubts, its resentment, and its anger all dissipated with its death.

"Huff... huff..."

Leo was panting.

When the iron sword in his hand touched the other's neck, he felt a distinct sense of obstruction.

Fortunately, the bonus from [Decapitation Master] greatly increased the power of his strikes.

That's how they managed to kill the attacking "monster" without any real danger!

The next moment, the panel that appeared before his eyes improved, causing Leo to exclaim involuntarily:

"This is... the goblin leader?!"

……

Meanwhile, at the edge of a dense forest not far from the temporary warehouse.

A silver figure abruptly stopped.

The magnificent longsword in her hand was already sheathed, and her eyes, colder than thunder, were watching everything happening below through the rain.

She saw the "stunning" and "perfect" sword strike in front of the warehouse, and even more so, she saw the young man's ruthless and decisive killing intent.

A faint smile suddenly appeared on the girl's lips.

"How beautiful!"
