The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 168: "Necro Revival"

Without being told, Rare had already crouched down in the shade of a tree.

It seemed that Tankman was unable to withstand the giant goblin's attack, as he was crushed and stuck to the ground.

If they had intended to fight, instead of casually observing, they should have preemptively blown away the log house. Once they gave time to an opponent they knew was superior, their fate was sealed.

There was no way for them to recover after losing the tank.

One by one, they were slammed to the ground by the giant goblin's club. Tankman and Hourai, who were the first to be attacked, seemed to be still alive, but they were repeatedly struck by the giant goblin who noticed them.

Light leaked from the dented ground shaped like the club. It was death for them.

If they had initiated with magic, causing some status ailment damage, prioritized evasion over defense against the club's attack, and concentrated the attack on one leg to first deprive it of mobility, the battle might have been a bit better. But that's something that can be said because it was observed from behind. It's difficult to win suddenly against opponents who use such instant death attacks. It's a one-shot kill.

Regardless, with their current abilities, even if they tactically maneuvered perfectly, it was uncertain whether they could win. Even if they could win, it would take hours to reach a resolution. In short, they lacked the power.

The giant goblin seemed to have noticed Rare and was staring intently at her. There was no sign of letting them escape, but she had no intention of running away.

Mare was also lacking in power, but she had weapon capabilities that more than compensated for the difference. Mare had already taken care of the nuisance, and now it was just a matter of killing without mercy to see what would happen to the territory.

"[Hellflame]."

Magic was cast centered around the middle of the log house and the giant goblin.

If this goblin had noticed Rare, it would have been good if it had attacked, but for some reason, it was waiting patiently. Perhaps it was deliberately giving up the initiative.

Fortunately, thanks to Tankman, the combat style of the giant goblin had been figured out to some extent.

If it was going to let her take the initiative, it wouldn't hurt to take advantage of its kindness.

Even if she thought she could win, she couldn't afford to be careless. Rare would teach the same thing she learned from players to this boss.

The flames licked the surroundings, expanding the square a little. The log house naturally turned into ashes, and the giant goblin also suffered burns all over its body. The damage itself didn't seem significant, but luckily, it seemed they were able to inflict a bad status.

Burns would persist until healed, causing slip damage based on the area and severity. If there was natural recovery exceeding the slip damage, burns would heal over time, but it seemed this goblin lacked such recovery power.

The goblin turned around to see the log house reduced to ashes and rushed towards Rare.

It seemed more angered by the destruction of the log house than by pain or damage. To be concerned about the log house during a life-threatening battle, either it still didn't think it would lose, or...

...Because it never truly dies. In other words, it's a player.

She narrowly dodged the kick delivered with the momentum of the charge.

The trees where Rare had hidden were kicked along with the surrounding ground, soaring into the air.

Without confirming that, Rare quickly moved to the goblin's supporting leg in the fleeting moment before the kicked leg returned, making three cuts on the Achilles tendon.
