Chapter 7.2: Goblin Boss

We ended up entering the dungeon, to which Sierra ended up allowing me to take the lead. It made a bit more sense. She wanted me to gain as much experience as possible. In this case, I am leaving. Though, she did make sure to correct any adventuring mistakes.

"When you attack, be sure to back away and cover your mouth. The stronger the monster, the more poisonous the mist will be. Although goblins mist isn't lethal, the rancid scent alone doesn't seem good for your health. And your stomach at that."

Facing a few goblins, Sierra ended up giving a bit more tips.''Be sure be aware of your surroundings. One wrong swing of your weapon, you may hit the wall, and disarm yourself. It isn't a pretty sight when you counterattack with you open." She pointed after I ended up clinking the wall. Although it was barely, I did have to compensate with that, using quick draw's sub technique, quick sheathing, pulling my weapon back to me before blocking, and eventually taking out the goblins with a quick counter strike.

I faced up against a bunch of the goblins. Like the ones outside of the camp, I came to become quite adept at taking them out, which is saying something, because their craftiness knows no bounds.

Fighting them, they resorted to many dirty tactics, like rocks throwing away from their direction to throw me off guard, from the goblins staking out behind a rock just to jump out and catch me off guard. Even as far as setting my trap. I learned just as much from them as I did from Sierra. Well, that, and Sierra ended up frustratingly chastising me for letting down my guard.

"Geez, your combat style is great, if not, almost perfected, but your common sense...is dog shit." She hissed underneath her breath. Although it was quiet, as we were still in the cave, I could tell her agitation. Though, I was a bit confused why. I'm still alive, aren't I? "Who were your parents? I am going to give them a piece of my mind..."

"Well, ummm." I was hesitant to answer.

Immediately, her anger diminished. "I...didn't mean to judge if you had parents or not." It seemed she took my hesitating to mean I didn't have parents, or that it was a bit complicated.

"No, it's fine." coaxed to her, before reflecting. Shit, I am still being myself. This isn't my life to live. I can't just go on wiley-niley with half a care in this world. I must get stronger. So, she won't die like she did. "You're right. I am a bit lacking in terms of common sense. Though, if it comes to my safety, I won't hold back anymore."

Sierra smiled. It seems what I said resonated with her. "It seems that the energy inside grew ever so brighter. Well, don't prove me wrong."

She nudged me to go on, to which I did. We ended up fighting a few more goblins, some of them were hobgoblins, and we even ended up finding a few goblin mages, which was the first for me. However, the aiming was quite easy to see and dodge, and the magic cast time was laughable.

It seemed to continue like this. Nothing seemed to affect me too much, though, I was sure to keep my guard up. However, the further I got in, the louder that roar was. Ever so often, the cave would resonate with the bellowing roar. It made me tense up just a bit. It seems that Sierra saw this.

"Use this time Fighting the lesser goblins as a chance to break hesitating from the goblin boss's yell. This will be useful during his battle."

It was a good thing. I was sure to do it. Though it still posed a question for me. "Am I handling this well?" I was worried that I didn't phrase the question right.

It seemed that she did understand as she smiled. "Oh, your handling is greatly above average. Some adventures at your level would wear their pants before fleeing. Maybe lack of common senses isn't a bad thing."
