Becoming a god starts with enhancing fire arrows.

Rhodes carefully examined the contents of the three cards.

Which reinforcement method is best suited for the current situation?

With my current mana, I can probably cast four to five Firebolts. The reduced mana cost isn't a decisive factor in killing goblins.

As for the "Increase Target" option...

I cannot guarantee that the power of the fire arrow will be enough to defeat the goblins.

Moreover, even if I fired two flaming arrows at the same time, I might not be able to hit them.

If you wake up the two sleeping goblins, you'll face being besieged.

I chose [Sharp Penetration].

......

The goblin patrolling the area carried a rather heavy machete, its blade gleaming coldly and bearing small nicks.

It looked back and forth.

While keeping an eye on wild animals in the jungle that might be attracted by the firelight, he also glanced at the humans tied to the tree trunk from time to time.

But he found the male human staring intently in his direction, lost in thought.

A fierce glint flashed across the night watch goblin's face.

He strode to a stop a few steps away from Rhodes, raised his head, and spoke in a fierce voice:

"You lowly human, what are you staring at me for?"

"Trying to run away?"

Who the hell is watching you?

I'm checking if the panel is okay.

Rhodes didn't say anything, and turned his head to the other side.

We're about four or five meters away from the goblins.

Given the original owner's talent, the hit rate of the fire arrows was probably less than 90%.

He didn't want to gamble his life on a probability of only a few percent.

The night watch goblin felt challenged when the human in front of him remained silent.

It revealed its yellowed, sharp teeth, its smile somewhat cruel, and slowly approached.

It seemed to be talking to itself: "During the day, we were discussing which part of a human body is the most tender when roasted."

"Anyway, our camp's human slaves won't miss one more like you."

"Believe it or not, I'll chop you up and make you into barbecue right now!"

As he spoke, he raised the gleaming, heavy machete in his hand.

The girl next to him was so frightened that her lips trembled slightly as she stared at Rhodes, wanting to say something.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes turned his head back and lowered it slightly to meet his gaze:

"It's hard to say who will die first."

The watchman was furious.

He stepped forward with a machete, leaped high into the air, and slashed horizontally at the neck of the clueless human in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the ropes binding the two suddenly broke.

The human boy in front of him immediately lowered his head.

boom!

The machete cut deep into the thick tree trunk.

The night watch goblin instinctively reached for his machete, only to see the lowly human muttering something silently.

Immediately afterwards, a thin streak of fire shot straight toward his right eye.

He's not an ordinary person?

The night watch goblin's murky, oily green pupils contracted, as if trying to avoid it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

A flaming arrow shot out from the back of his head with a "whoosh".

The goblin fell straight backward due to the inertia of the fire arrow.

The night watch goblin died without understanding why the fire arrow, which was supposed to explode upon impact, had pierced him directly.

Seeing the first goblin fall, Rhodes did not hesitate at all and went straight for the two lying goblins.

The two goblins were awakened by the sound of a cleaver chopping down a tree.

He sat up groggily to check the situation, only to see the male human he had picked up during the day rushing towards him.

It only took a few steps to reach it.

Flame Arrow!

Low-level spells like Fire Arrow can be cast almost instantly.

'Whoosh'

Another flaming arrow flew out.

The second goblin, which had just sat up, fell straight back down.

Flame Arrow!

The third flaming arrow is ready.

Unexpectedly, the third goblin lost its sleepiness and rolled on the ground in a sorry state, barely managing to dodge the sharp arrow.

It quickly picked up the machete and wooden round shield from the ground, got up and charged at Rhodes.

Flame Arrow!

Rhodes remained calm and fired a fourth flaming arrow.

But the goblin was prepared, and with a sidestep, he came to Rhodes' side.

Its face was ferocious, with a bloodthirsty excitement on its face, and its right hand cleaver slashed straight down.

broken!

Rhodes thought to himself, "This is bad."

Closing the distance in an attempt to maintain accuracy can actually create danger for oneself.

His thoughts raced, and his body instinctively dodged the cleaver.

Just as I was about to create some distance.

next second.

The goblin swung his wooden shield with his left hand and slammed it heavily into his own chest.

boom!

Rhodes flew out like a parabola, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Cough cough cough."

He felt a metallic taste in his throat, and coughed up blood with a strong metallic rusty smell.

A sharp pain shot through my chest, my bones felt like they were breaking, and my vision went black.

That doesn't make sense.

We're all noobs.

Is the power difference between mages and warriors really that big?

Seeing its prey cough up blood, the goblin raised its cleaver, its green face contorted with excitement.

A stench of blood and decay hit us.

Rhodes' pupils constricted.

No.

You absolutely have to dodge this.

Otherwise, you really will die!

He frantically tried to do something, but his legs were already weak and uncontrollable, making it difficult even to stand up.

With your current mana, you should be able to use one last Fire Arrow.

I'm gonna fucking smack you.

Rhodes had just raised his hand, about to begin chanting.

But I suddenly felt my limbs were filled with power.

A holy light shone from the silver-haired priest.

Blessing spell!

While the goblin was stunned, Rhodes, sitting on the ground, took advantage of the goblin's small size to successfully brace his right hand against the wooden shield and grab the goblin's wrist holding the cleaver with his left hand.

The goblin gritted his teeth and used all his strength.

Rhodes felt as if two huge rocks were pressing down on his hands, making his arms tremble.

Even with the blessing spell, they were still no match?

The goblin's face drew closer and closer. Rhodes's face flashed with ruthlessness as he used all his strength to slam his forehead into the goblin's nose.

"ah."

The goblin screamed and retreated.

Flame Arrow!

Rhodes, enduring the pain in his forehead, seized the opportunity and chanted his final flaming arrow.

The flaming arrow streaked across the goblin's head like a crimson meteor.

hit!

Rhodes was panting heavily, showing no sign of relief at surviving the ordeal.

His hands fell limply to his sides, and his back was soaked with sweat.

The silver-haired girl quickly stepped forward: "Are you alright?"

Her tone was filled with fear and disbelief.

The man in front of me killed three goblin warriors with just fire arrows.

"Treat them," Rhodes commanded in a hoarse voice.

"Oh...okay." The silver-haired girl timidly chanted a healing spell.

A flash of green light appeared.

The pain in my chest and forehead has lessened slightly.

Rhodes managed to stand up.

The loss of adrenaline gave him an urge to faint.

He picked up a heavy goblin cleaver nearby, barely managed to lift it with both hands, and slashed at the neck of a fallen goblin.

puff.

Green blood splattered out.

"What are you doing?!"

The silver-haired girl looked at Rhodes, who was covered in green blood, with some surprise.

Rhodes did not speak.

He turned and cautiously walked toward the second goblin.

He couldn't be sure that the upgraded fire arrows would definitely be able to instantly kill the goblins.

If they are lucky enough to survive or if they have some strange life-saving item with them.

With that empty blue bar, there was absolutely no possibility for me to continue fighting.

puff.

puff.

Two more nauseating sounds rang out.

Rhodes was finally completely relieved.

Two lines of text slowly appeared before my eyes.

[40 Life Essence Points Acquired]

[Next enhancement requires 40/30 Life Essence]

It can be strengthened again?

Rhodes suppressed his desire to draw enhancement cards.

The most urgent thing is to leave this place.

The smell of blood is likely to attract wild beasts and monsters, and may even bring along goblin allies.

"Come with me!"

Rhodes threw down his heavy cleaver, picked up his wooden shield, and beckoned to the silver-haired girl.

"Oh, here I come." The girl followed, looking a little dazed.

I remember the original owner running through the jungle and crossing a stream.

You can go there to wash off the red and green blood mixed on your body.

Based on the principle of hypotheticality.

Imagine that things that could threaten your safety are right next to you.

Be careful!

After running for about half an hour, the two finally arrived at the stream.

The sound of flowing water seemed quiet and profound in the darkness of the night.

Without hesitation, Rhodes jumped into the water.

Judging from the sky, it was still a while before dawn, so I simply found a rock to lean against and sat down.

Rhodes preferred to stand there in the damp evening breeze rather than make a fire.

Firstly, the current temperature is estimated to be around 20 degrees Celsius.

Secondly, the firelight was too conspicuous in the darkness.

Or.

I am still too weak and lack the ability to deal with most dangers.

With that in mind, Rhodes opened the panel.

strengthen!
