Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Chapter 83 [Goblin Slayer] Special Reward for a Large-Scale Commission (4k words)

"roar--!"

The goblin siege warrior, tripped up, let out a furious roar.

It propped itself up with its hands, trying to get up from the ground.

But once the "heavy unit" falls, how could Leo possibly give it a chance to get back up?

It was met with a heavy blow from above by Sylvia.

The dazzling moonlight cast a hazy, ethereal shadow of the longsword in her hand.

1. [Moonlight Slash]: Gather the power of moonlight onto the weapon, and guided by the moonlight, it falls from above, dealing a large amount of additional damage to downed targets, as well as a "stun" effect!

boom!

Despite being a slender and graceful girl, when she struck the goblin siegeer's head, it made a sound like a boulder falling.

The goblin city breaker, whose head had just been raised halfway, was slammed back into the mud.

Not only that, the greatsword formed from moonlight was also deeply embedded in the back of its head.

This would have been fatal for any other monster.

But the goblin siege destroyer's vitality was simply too tenacious; even after suffering such severe damage, it remained as if nothing had happened.

Knowing it could not get up, it stopped struggling and instead dug its paws deep into the ground.

Sensing something, Sylvia's eyes flickered, and she drew her sword and jumped without hesitation.

"Pfft!"

Almost the instant she leaped into the air, a large number of spikes burst forth from the ground, centered on the Goblin Destroyer, covering the entire area within a ten-meter radius.

The outermost spikes even touched the wall of the No. 1 windmill.

Each spike is as thick as a bucket, its tip gleaming with a sharp, cold light. It can pierce through anything, not just flesh and blood, but even steel armor, instantly.

This massive outburst was powerful, but it also took a huge toll. The Goblin Citybreaker knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

Taking advantage of the moment when Sylvia was forced to retreat, it struggled to stand up.

Just then, the air behind it distorted slightly, and Leo's figure appeared.

Using the "Irrelevant Footsteps" technique, he avoided the spikes.

The moment he appeared, Leo's eyes sharpened, and he thrust his sharp longsword, which was wrapped in the power of shadow, down fiercely.

His sword went deeper into the wound that Sylvia had previously stabbed.

The damage bonus from [Hunter's Intuition] + [Goblin Slayer] grants his stab an additional 80% damage increase against goblin races!

"Snap!"

The sound of the skull cracking further rang out.

Leo's hands trembled violently between his thumb and forefinger.

The moment the sword fell, he felt that he had pierced not bone, but some kind of enchanted steel that had been forged through countless hammer blows.

"Croak—!"

The goblin siegeer let out a mournful howl.

Leo's sword strike, at most, only deepened the cracks in its skull, not shattered it. However, the shadow power attached to his sword flowed like a fluid, penetrating deep into the skull along the cracks.

The "dissolving" property of the shadow power caused it immense suffering.

In his rage, the earthen-yellow light reappeared on the Goblin Citybreaker's arms.

This is a precursor to it releasing a large number of spikes.

But the next moment, the earthy yellow light on the goblin city breaker's arm flickered again and then dimmed.

The ground spikes failed to deploy.

One [thief's hand]!

Leo stole its Spikes ability, while simultaneously causing it to temporarily forget it.

A look of confusion appeared in the bloodshot eyes of the goblin siegeer.

Why can't I use my instinctive ground spike skill?

It paused, but Sylvia wouldn't waste the opportunity.

[Moonlight Blade] fell again, pressing down on the Goblin Citybreaker's head, which had just been raised slightly.

At the same time, the Moonlight Blade penetrated further into the previous wound.

If someone could see through the Goblin Destroyer's skin, they would see that half of its skull was now covered in cracks.

After three consecutive heavy blows to the head, even the thick-skinned Goblin Breaker could no longer withstand them.

Its eyes went completely black, and its limbs were out of control.

With a flash of shadow, Leo reappeared on its back, his longsword piercing the Goblin Citybreaker's head along with Sylvia's Moonlight Sword.

"Click!"

At this point, the Goblin Siege Breaker's skull could no longer hold on and shattered completely.

The sharp blade penetrated deep inside, and the shadowy power it carried churned the brain matter into a mess.

The goblin siegeer convulsed violently a few times, and then its eyes dimmed completely.

It's dead.

A dignified Bronze-level monster died such a miserable and pathetic death due to the schemes of "Tripping Rope," without even having a chance to use its unique Dark Abilities as a Dark Mutant.

All I can say is that a brute with only strength is far too easy to target.

"Whoosh—"

The dead goblin city breaker, its enormous corpse turned into a large amount of ashes and scattered away, finally leaving behind a pitch-black crystal the size of an infant's fist.

Compared to the Dark Fragments dropped by Dark Mutant Monsters of the Black Iron grade, it is larger and of higher quality.

Leo bent down and picked it up, then turned around to look at the scene ahead, now filled with panic due to the death of the goblin siege fighter.

The fleeing goblin army shouted, "The goblin lord has been defeated!"

"Everyone, follow me and hunt down the remaining goblins!"

His loud voice instantly drowned out the noise of the entire battlefield.

After a brief silence, all the adventurers here were completely excited, their morale soaring.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

"Kill! None of these green-skinned beasts will escape!"

"Captain Leo is invincible! Captain Sylvia is invincible!"

Compared to the adventurers whose morale was soaring to near "fanatical," the goblin army was not so much panicked as utterly terrified.

In the chaos, many ordinary goblins even fell to the ground and were trampled to death by their own kind.

Faced with the goblins fleeing in disarray, the adventurers filed out of Windmill Number One.

Leo moved like the wind, his sharp longsword constantly slashing and killing the elite individuals and leaders of the goblin army. He was so fast that it seemed he was afraid of being robbed of his skills by someone else.

His appearance made Sylvia, who had intended to offer assistance, slow down her movements.

Ultimately, 80% of the elite members of this goblin army died by his sword.

The remaining 20% ​​were disposed of by the Brother Annihilation Squad.

As for the two individual leaders, he defeated them all by himself.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Half an hour later, the battle, or rather, the one-sided pursuit, ended.

Leo stood on the battlefield littered with goblin corpses, panting heavily.

In his quest to "steal kills," he unleashed a barrage of attacks almost without regard for the cost.

Fortunately, the final result was quite pleasing.

As his strength increased, each of the level 1 elite goblins he challenged could only provide him with less than 100 skill experience points on average. Although it was few, a total of 15 of them would amount to 1500 skill experience points.

However, challenging mature goblin leaders at levels 3 to 4 can provide around 500 skill experience points per goblin, which is quite good.

In total, that's 2000 skill experience points.

The progress bar for the [Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique], which had been reset to zero, has now returned to the level of "lv.4 (3000/8000)".

What delighted Leo even more than acquiring skill experience was gaining a new specialty.

After defeating the Goblin Slayer, his green feat, Goblin Slayer, directly transformed into the blue feat, Goblin Exterminator.

【Specialty - Goblin Slayer (Blue)】: How to obtain: Slay 10000 goblins (1 for normal individuals, 50 for elite individuals, 500 for boss individuals, and 5000 for lord individuals).

Effect 1: Real attribute +2 (can be freely specified)

Effect 2: Increases damage dealt to goblin-type monsters by 100%; in narrow terrains such as goblin lairs, evasion rate and hit rate are increased by an additional 40%.

Effect 3: [Nest Suppression]—Your presence is the natural enemy and purger of goblins. Within goblin territory, forcibly strip the enemy leader of their "Command" skills and apply "Purge Field," causing goblins within the area to suffer "Morale Collapse" (all attributes reduced by 20%, with a very high probability of triggering Fear and Rampage status). This ability can be turned on and off at will.

P.S.: You are the goblin exterminator, and also the goblin nightmare.

（进阶路线：讨伐100000只哥布林，该专长可进一步提升（普通个体计数1、精锐个体计数50，首领个体计数500，领主个体计数5000）。当前进度：11816/100000）

Looking at the description of this blue specialty, Leo's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Good guy!

Although the attribute bonuses remain the same, they have changed from the original "Strength" and "Spirit" to being freely selectable, and have even been upgraded to real attribute points!

Without hesitation, Leo directly selected "Perception".

Agility and perception, these two limit-breaking attributes, are mandatory requirements for becoming a legendary profession.

Currently, his agility attribute has met the requirements, so only his perception attribute remains.

Perfect! With these two points added, his attributes now meet the requirements for taking on a legendary profession!

The lost strength and spirit attributes were overwritten by the upgraded expert-level [Parry] skill, without any reduction. Therefore, Leo's base attributes became:

力量16（基础10、被动4、黑铁1、真实1）

Constitution 15 (Base 10, Passive 4, Black Iron 1)

Agility 16 (Base 10, Passive 4, Realism 2)

Spirit 14 (Basic 10, Passive 4)

Perception 16 (Basic 10, Passive 4, Reality 2)

"Perfect!"

Leo was overjoyed.

Next, he just needs to wait for the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique to reach Level 5 and for the Silver Moon Maze to open so he can enter and try to take up a job.

"Besides the attribute and breathing technique requirements, there is also a ritual for taking up a legendary profession."

"The specific ritual required can be obtained from Miss Sylvia after you have mastered the breathing technique and obtained the broken greatsword of inheritance."

With that thought in mind, Leo's gaze fell on the sharp longsword in his hand.

The enchanted longsword he had bought not long ago was now riddled with nicks on the blade, and a thin crack had appeared on the main body of the sword.

Even the enchanted longsword was already overwhelmed.

But this isn't a problem with the enchanted longsword; rather, it's a problem with Leo's strength increasing too quickly, and his equipment not keeping up.

"The main structure is damaged, so repairs are not very meaningful. We need to find a way to get high-quality weapons and protective gear."

Leo shook his head inwardly, then turned his attention back to the battlefield.

Meeting the gazes of the many adventurers who had gathered around him, he grinned, his eyes sweeping over Captain Goblin, the elf Cecilia, and the dwarf Hassen in the crowd, raising his longsword high: "We have won!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The adventurers shouted in unison, even those from the provincial capital.

At this moment, they no longer harbored the dissatisfaction and alienation they felt towards Leo, this "connected person," when they first set out.

In that battle just now, Leo has proven with his command ability and strength that his appointment as "deputy battalion commander" is well-deserved!

At this moment, all they could see was admiration and respect for the strong.

Adventurers always let their strength speak for itself!

In the crowd, Captain Gomez looked at the young man surrounded by cheers, a touch of emotion appearing in his eyes.

Who would have thought that the newcomer they casually saved would now be so "dazzling"?

Sylvia walked to Leo's side, a faint smile appearing on her usually aloof face.

She turned her head, her eyes reflecting the young man's dashing spirit, and her left hand couldn't help but gently stroke the old, worn greatsword tied to her waist.

"Your words suggest that you are not far from bearing a name that will be passed down through generations—"

After the cheers subsided, Leo said seriously, "Squad 1 will remain in Windmill Village in case any stray monsters attack again."

""

"The rest of you, come with me to support Oak Village."

Squad 1 consists entirely of shield guards, clad in heavy armor and wielding shields. They are the slowest to move, but in terms of defense, they are the best among the basic classes.

It's best for them to stay.

While the beast tide was quickly quelled in Windmill Village, the situation in the other two locations remains uncertain.

With their support, the situation will definitely improve a lot.

Of course, Leo also wanted to gain more skill experience so that he could master the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique as soon as possible.

With time of the essence, after a quick rest and reorganization, Leo and Sylvia led a group of adventurers to Oak Village, six kilometers away.

However, to Leo's surprise, when he arrived at Oak Village, a village with many oak trees, there were some monster corpses on the ground, but no trace of the beast tide.

Could it be that Rachel's side, like mine, also defeated and scattered the attacking beasts head-on, annihilating more than 60% of their forces?

With these questions in mind, Leo met the captain of the group, a girl with long, straight black hair named Rachel.

After their conversation, Leo seemed thoughtful: "You mean, halfway through the beast tide's attack, the old forest troll suddenly retreated without a second thought? And the other monsters in the tide did the same?"

Rachel, with a few drops of blood still on her cheek, nodded slightly, her eyes full of doubt: "I originally wanted to give chase, but considering the sealing nodes in the village, I gave up."

Leo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go back to Baihe Town and take a look."

"Miss Rachel, you will stay here for now to prevent the old forest troll from returning."

The girl with long, straight black hair nodded; this was a reasonable arrangement.

And so, Leo returned to Baihe Town.

Similar to the situation in Oak Village, the beast tide that attacked Baihe Town has also receded.

At the outpost on the edge of town, Leo met the somewhat disheveled Lake Knight, Andrei.

His long, golden hair was somewhat disheveled, clearly indicating that he was under immense pressure fighting against the ferocious wolf king and the main force of the beast tide.

"Is it the same situation as in Oak Village? —"

Leo seemed to be deep in thought.

Judging from the timeline, the beast tides in Oak Village and White River Town both retreated after he killed the Goblin Breaker.

"Perhaps it's the master of [Darkness] manipulating things."

President Lucas, who had walked over from the side, spoke in a deep voice.

"Through those deeply mutated individuals, it may have seen that we have three bronze-level adventurers, and not wanting to waste the power we have painstakingly accumulated, it simply retreated."

Leo narrowed his eyes.

The way [Darkness] behaved was less a sign of realizing the situation was unfavorable and retreating in time, and more a sign that it had other plans and wanted to accumulate strength.

This enemy's unusual behavior, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, could pounce and bite at any moment, made him very uncomfortable.

"Phew—" Lucas let out a long sigh, a smile appearing on his face: "No matter what, we won this time."

"After the beast tide collapses, it won't be easy for them to regroup. The guild will send out more reconnaissance teams to issue timely warnings if there are any signs of a beast tide."

"With the addition of three bronze-level guardians, it's impossible for [Darkness] to destroy the three nodes in our direction."

"This time, I really owe you a lot, Leo."

Lucas patted Leo on the shoulder with a sigh.

He had already learned about the situation in Windmill Village from other adventurers.

He was stunned for a long time when he first heard it.

He knew that Leo was incredibly strong and invincible among his peers, but he never expected that he could still play a decisive role against a Goblin Citybreaker of a higher rank.

"The large-scale commission to defend against the beast tide has now essentially come to an end."

"You deserve the greatest credit for this battle!"

"In addition to the normal commission fee, I've decided to give you a special bonus."

A special reward?

Leo blinked, his curiosity piqued.

"Follow me." Lucas smiled mysteriously, beckoned to Leo, and headed towards the guild.
