Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 41

Eisen swung his sword sideways and immediately cut through the thin neck of one of the five goblins in the group, causing its head to fly through the air while the other goblins were trying to figure out what was going on.

As soon as Eisen could, he used some of the natural force created by his heavy sword and slashed the Zweihänder down toward the next Goblin's shoulder, creating a gaping wound while the sword got stuck in its flesh. Eisen pulled the sword back upward and jumped to the side while the second goblin dropped to the ground and two others jumped at Eisen.

One of them held a thick branch and the other a rock that they were using as weapons. Quickly, Eisen managed to dodge the incoming attacks and returned them with another side slash at one of the Goblins' chest.

However, in return for his attack, the Goblin holding the branch managed to hit his side, draining a whole 50 Health Points from him. Eisen held up his leg and kicked the Goblin away, using that chance to finish the Goblin with the rock off.

While this was happening, the leftover Goblin ran up to Eisen and slashed at him with a sharp rock, taking another 60 Health from him.

Once more, Eisen jumped backward and at the same time slashed his sword down toward the head of one of the Goblins, killing it instantly as its head was split in two.

The last Goblin was staring at Eisen angrily and once more tried to slash at him, but Eisen slashed his Zweihänder upward with a bout of strength. He cut off the Goblin's arm and pulled the sword back, then stabbed it forward again while the Goblin began staggering and stabbed the sword through the Goblin's throat.

Now that the first group of Goblins was taken care of, Eisen squatted down onto the ground. This was really exhausting to him, so he was slowly starting to feel bad for Brody, the Original of Combat.

That reminded him that he meant to send everyone a mail to see how they are doing and ask them about their experience in the game so far. Either way, for now, Bree came up to Eisen with a gleeful expression.

"Wow! Good job! But here, to recover your damage~!" She said happily and held one of the health pills over to Eisen.

With a smile, he placed it in his mouth and cracked it with his teeth, then continued to chew on it until it turned into a powder which he then swallowed.

"Thanks, Bree." He said and opened his status, then tapped on his level.

[Level - 13][93%]

Eisen found this not too long ago when he was trying to figure out how much the 50 Experience from the Boars actually meant. For whatever reason, it wasn't displayed in his status normally, but at least there was such a way to find out how far he was to the next Level.

It seemed like the Goblins were nearly enough to push him over the edge. With the next group of Goblins, he would probably be able to get to Level 14. Although at this rate, it might be quite hard to gain enough levels to get his stats up enough for the quest.

However, he would only continue to become stronger, faster, and Bree would use support spells on him from now on as well, making things far easier as well.

The first thing that Eisen would try when he saw another group of Goblins would be to send out his Mana Doubles and see how he could use them in combat.

But for now, Bree kneed down in front of the first Goblin corpse and stabbed her knife into its chest. While Eisen thought that image to be kind of disgusting, Bree happily pushed her hand into the slit in the heart and pulled out the tiny rice-grain sized Mana Crystal.

She repeated this for the next four corpses as well, and then cleaned them up with the help of the Self-filling Mana Crystal cup that was stashed away in her backpack.
