Careful Reincarnation Chat Group

She's really bad at keeping calm, but I still hope she pays more attention.

This messenger is a lizard, but he's so arrogant...

His name seems to be Gabil, which means named monster, so what.

Langa, please cure him! I cheered for Langa in my heart.

"It's just a lizard—how dare you fool the leader—"

He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red with anger, and he seemed to be burning with rage.

Ranga... please don't go too far, okay...?

This lizard should be alright, right? If he weren't an envoy, even if he got beaten black and blue, I'd just laugh it off and let it end there...

"It seems you've been tricked. All right. Let me show you my skills and defeat the guy who's manipulating you. Who wants to be my opponent? You can all come together!"

Hey, hey, hey...what the hell is this lizard talking about?

This joke is too hard to laugh at. Could you please clarify the time, place and situation?

You are the weakest among them.

—Oh, I think I was exaggerating. It seems he's stronger than Rigurd.

Rigurd is at least B-rank. He's the king of the Hob Goblins, their strongest warrior. The average Hob Goblin is at the Blade Rank, so taking that into account, Rigurd can be considered a highly evolved character. Add to that the support from Kaijin's equipment, and I think he's a bit high in the B-rank.

That being said, Rigurdo had no martial arts training or swordsmanship experience, so he couldn't possibly be a match for a true warrior.

The presence or absence of skills will widen the gap in combat power. I just learned this truth recently.

As for this lizard, Gabil, his words and actions were arrogant and rude, but his posture showed that he was a veteran warrior.

Since he dared to say that, it meant he was quite confident in his skills.

Our eyes met.

Well, who is Langa going to send to deal with...

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Gobda, the most idiot of idiots, appeared and still did not forget to use his abilities and even came back to life.

"Are you okay?"

"That's what I was going to ask! I was just swimming in the river when I heard a gentle voice telling me I had gained poison resistance! Then my body started to feel better and I woke up."

Gobda said this lightly.

That river is probably a river where you'll die if you swim in it... It'll be a good deed if you don't tell him about it.

"Really? 'Poison Resistance' huh? Even I don't have that skill, that's pretty impressive..."

"Really? Hey, I'm so happy!"

Although Gobda was very happy, his fate was sealed once he acted foolishly.

"Hehe, alright. If you have a way to defeat a man that even I approve of, I'll listen to what you have to say."

As he spoke, Ranga named Gobda.

As expected. Gobda yelled, "Wait! What's going on?" His eyes widened in shock, but the matter was already settled.

That's great. We were still trying to decide who to send in.

Everyone wanted to beat this guy into a pig's head with their own hands, and their eyes became dangerous.

How should I put it? Seeing those pairs of eyes, I calmed down.

As the saying goes, when someone gets angry first, others will be able to calm down.

I mean, Ranga is really evil. You can tell from his eyes that he's planning to use Gobda as a sacrifice.

Killing the messenger might be unbecoming, but clinging to the point where the other party attacked first is understandable. This guy is really cunning. Who does he resemble?

"Is that alright? It's fine if you want to be my opponent! And really, instead of showing off my own incompetence, it's better to let my subordinates handle it."

Gabil choked with pride.

He was basically mocking me. He seemed to be convinced that I had deceived Langa and others.

I really want to beat him up. Beat him up as hard as I can.

I had just managed to calm down, but now I was getting mad again.

"Gobda, don't be polite with him. Go ahead! If you lose, I'll force you to eat all of Shion's cooking!"

"Wait! You seem to have already decided. I'm giving up the struggle... But, if I win, at least give me some prizes! Also, please don't take Miss Shion's cooking..."

"This conversation sounds very unhappy..."

Shion was sulking, but I pretended not to notice.

Hmm? That's true. You should give me some kind of reward.

I want to say that he already knows how terrifying Shion's skills are, so he should fight with all his might... Anyway, Gobda can't win, so it's useless to even think about it. Having said that, I might as well find some sweet treats for him.

"Okay. Then I'll ask Kurobei to make you a weapon."

"Really!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Gobda-kun. Have I ever told a lie?"

"No, everything you say is true...but I often feel like I've been deceived."

"You think too much."

"Am I thinking too much? I think so!"

Yeah. Gobda was easy to manipulate. It was nice to be able to handle it right away.

When Langa saw that we had reached a consensus, he immediately sent me a secret signal.

I nodded in response.

"If you want me to help you, then first show me your true abilities. Now, let's begin!"

Ranga addresses Gabil.

At the command, the battle began.

Gobda tensed up, while Gabil leisurely held the spear.

Gobda's weapon is also a cavalry spear, so now it's going to be a spear vs. spear fight.

Gobda seemed to have no chance of winning.

This is because Gobda is good at using short swords.

"Hmph. They're a bit more interesting than goblins, but the Knife Goblins aren't much better! Compared to us, the great dragon-descended lizardmen, they're nothing—"

As soon as the competition was announced, Gabil started counting family trees in a self-righteous manner.

He thought Gobda was nothing special and completely underestimated his opponent.

As for the person involved, Gobda—

"You won't attack? Then I'll do it!"

He ignored Gabil's storytelling and threw the spear at him.

To my surprise, Gobda seemed to genuinely want to win.

"Well, a dirty trick!"

Gabil calmly knocked down the incoming spear. However, Gobda seemed to have already calculated it.

Although it was only for a brief moment, Gabil's consciousness was still focused on the spear. Gobda took the opportunity to hide in the shadows.

How... could this be...!

I even suspected I was seeing things, because Gobda used Shadow Blink so smoothly.

Of course, Gabil, who was confronting him, also lost his target...

"Where have you been hiding?"

He cried out and looked around quickly.

However, the outcome was already known by then.

Gobda leaped out from the shadow behind Gabil, spinning sideways and unleashing a back-spinning kick.

Gabil seemed confused about the situation.

The enemy from him

A sudden attack came from behind. Gabil was hit hard on the neck, and he was instantly distracted.

Gobda aimed at the gap between the armor and the helmet and launched a beautiful kick.

No matter how resilient a lizardman's body is, a severe blow to the medulla oblongata, where nerves are concentrated, is enough to render it useless. While the scales on their bodies protect them from death, recovery still takes time.

That is to say-

Gobda surprisingly defeated the lizardman.

"The winner is decided. The winner is Gobda!"

As soon as Ranga announced, Benimaru and the others cheered loudly.

Gobda was also very happy to be praised.

but……

I didn't expect Gobda to defeat the Lizardman Warrior Captain Gabil.

Gabil was equivalent to B rank and looked very strong, but he was killed instantly by him.

My goodness, Gobda's progress is so rapid, it's amazing.

I'm sure everyone is surprised too.

"As expected of you, Gobda. I wasn't mistaken."

Langa nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done! Let them fully witness the power of the Hob Goblin!"

Rigurd seemed overjoyed.

"I'm going to look at you with new eyes. I can pretend I didn't hear those rude words just now."

Shion smiled and praised Gobda.

"You're amazing. You're even stronger than when you fought us last time."

Then it was Benimaru's turn to praise him.

"Well, quite good. This kid seems to have some talent worth cultivating."

Bai Lao looked at Gobda with sharp eyes.

Gobda is quite capable, to be noticed by Mr. Bai.

Poor Gobda, it seems you've been targeted by an evil spirit that enjoys training people. To reduce the attention that Bai Lao is focusing on me, please practice with me.

That is to say——

Hmm, that's strange. Does everyone think Gobda will win? I looked around, puzzled, and everyone looked as if they had already expected Gobda to win.

It seems I'm the only one who doesn't believe he will win.

I seem to have thought too badly of Langa.

"You're amazing, Gobda. You fought beautifully! I'll keep our promise and have Kurobei make weapons for you."

I'll pretend to have faith in Gobda.

I am a man who knows how to read people's expressions, so I followed the trend and praised Gobda.

As for the defeated Gabil and his followers...

The person involved did not appear to be injured, he just fainted.

His subordinates were about to cheer him up when they were frozen in place.

Everyone was confused and had no idea what was going on.
