..... .

The increase in my strength due to the skill Aura Of the Strong almost pushed me pushed me to the front doors of the S Rank .

I was still a bit short of the 1000 strength point required but with those 10 free attributes points if i distributed them accurately enough , i may shortened that gap even more .

And that again raise the question of how should i distribute those points, should i allocate all the 10 points to constitution, increasing my strength, agility, stamina , increasing my overall strength a bit more .

Maybe continue to invest in Spirituality and Comprehension , they might not give me the same exact boost in strength but their potential are nothing to scoff at, Comprehension is still vague but i believe that the effect of raising my Spirituality was apparent as it was what allowed me to sense that Sneaky Goblin attacking attempt just as he was about to strike .

As for other attributes like Mana and Spirit, i believe increasing them directly won't increase my strength by much and i don't know what exactly increasing my Spirit attribute might even do other than increasing my mana directly or indirectly .

For hidden attributes Fate and will both looked higher than my other attributes and for some reason they kept on increasing without any need for me to raise them using attributes points , a surprise but a very much appreciated one .

For Luck, i'm sorry but i don't want to rely in a dangerous world like this on something so vague and i don't believe that it could enhance my strength by much, maybe it's related to the use of the skills that have a probability on how or which were they going to work , but it's quite useless for me to invest in such a thing .

You see since i was summoned here to this world and up till now, all my skills and even equipments that normally had a probability or have their effects in percentage all got enhanced and their probabilities were all maxed out so i don't believe i need to invest any points in Luck , maybe if some other useful applications for it appeared, i might consider increasing it, who knows .

But the safest and most secure choice in consideration of that there might be an imminent battle against a S Rank monster soon, i believe that raising my constitution by 10 points will at least give me some ability to barely compete against him in Strength ,or at least that's what i believe .

.... .

i can already feel my overall strength getting increased , hopefully after an hour and a half later i will be able to increase those attributes of mine even more .

What are you fantasizing about, if you are dreaming about getting the reward on the Goblin Lord head, let me tell you truthfully you are quite strong but you still won't be able to take down a Goblin Lord, so stop dilly-dallying and let's go to the next safe zone and report what happened we might even get to be heavily rewarded without the need to take any risks .

I will be completely fine staying here but if you want to leave i will help you but do me a favor and take those two burdens with you and as compensation for your trouble i will allow you to take how many goblin's carcasses as you want what do you think, do we have a deal ?.

Deal,of course deal but are you really sure about staying here ? .

I offered my hand and he held it with his hand and went for handshake to seal our deal but i answered to his concerns by saying jokingly : i still haven't unleached my full power, you are free to get a front seat of my skirmish against that Goblin Lord, oh and if you could pinpoint me to where was the next zone, i would be thankful .

No, thank you, i was in enough dangerous situations for today i wish you luck and maybe the goblins were planning on something else and them being positioned like this had nothing to do with a Goblin Lord , as for the next safe zone, i see you have quite the weird looking compass on your shirt coller , follow the snake head that point towards the north in that direction for an hour or two and you will be able to reach the next safe zone but be aware of your surroundings, the whole Wicked Forest was going crazy today .

Thank you .

No, i'm the one who should be thankful to you if you weren't here we might have been already killed by those goblins so thank you .

Don't mention it, now i will increase my skill distance enough for it to cover the goblins who you might encounter in and you can easily pass through,do you have any questions .

What is your name , kid ? .

My name is Ryuu .

You have my deepest thanks, Ryuu and if we meet again we must have some drinks together, don't worry it will be on me .

Okay, sure thing .

We both nodded and i went to get the guy who was currently immobile in front of the goblin and then removed my skill effect from both of them , they glared at me for a second before they felt the skill effect again and swallowed their anger and began to get ready, after all who would want to stay in a place that now belonged to a Goblin Lord , yeah they heard everything, my ability is deterring the enemies from moving depending mainly on the intimidation it provided but those who are suffering from its effect can still see and hear what was going around them but with some difficulties .

Oh, right Ryuu did you know what happened to the guy that escaped earlier ? .

Don't worry yourself about it, he wasn't able to make it .

He nodded in realization and bid me farewell .

I got on a tree with a simple jump to be able to see more clearly where and when i would be expanding the range of my skill, after five minutes the damn owl returned but this time there won't be any going back for him i expanded my skill just as he was about to screech and just as those guys were passing by the other two swarm of goblins .

He freezed in the air then fell to the ground as for his friend standing a bit far from us they were standing still while the 3 guys passed by them easily .

Phew now that we finished this let's skin that owl , i went down and found the place where it was currently and found that it was actually unconscious, i was intrigued about knowing more details about it but sadly this will have to wait for until i recovered my , luckily my mana pool expanded otherwise, i would have been unconscious .

I held the black owl and began to make campfire since it was already night and other than the building that were still burning there were no other sources of light .

Ten seconds later i was able to regenerate 1 mana points and i used it directly at the now awake dark owl , its status window was quite simple but it had only two skills and one of those two skills was what really made my heart palpitating excessively .

Watchmen Owl (familiar of the Goblin Lord) .

Rank : E

Attributes :

Strength : 50 .

Stamina : 70 .

Agility : 90 .

Mana : 10 .

Spirit : 7 .

Hidden attributes :

Constitution : 30 .

Will : 4 .

Luck : 10 .

Fate : 5 .

Spirituality : 7 .

Skills :

Unique Insight ( Passive Skill ) :

Reduces the cooldown time of active skills by 5% .

Shared Sight ( Active Skill ) :

The ability to share what it was seeing with anyone it wants to but the condition that they have some mutual agreement .

So it was the pet of that Goblin Lord , so was he intentionally spying on us with this or was it just a coincidence .

Anyway what i was most interested in now was that skill that it hold unique Insight, if it works as intended i might be able to become increasingly powerful even before meeting that Goblin Lord .

A 5 minutes later i got to activate my Steal again and i got the skill that i wanted and heard the successful acquisition of the skill that was confirmed by the sound of the Will Of The World and used appraisal directly to know how effectiv was the skill now .

Unique Insight ( Passive Skill ) :

Reduces the cooldown time of active skills by 100% , Can't Work On Unique Skills .

I can already feel that my Steal skill began to enter its cooldown period again in addition to seeing the new description of the skill i felt as if destiny was making fun of me, i was very much disappointed about it not working on unique skill but a weird thought was what calmed my sore mood and that thought was if there was a skill that could shortened the cooldown period of active skills then there must be one that works on unique skills too , and it's not like i lost anything, actually i believe i did gain another boost in strength from the new skill .

I was about to check on the owl when i noticed that it suddenly regained consciousness and her eyes were beginning to light up in green color looking intently at me, i acted involuntarily by trying to brush it off with my hand but i forgot how much my strength has increased, that small hand movement of mine throw the owl into a tree and it marked its end as it got squished due to the strong impact .

I looked at the owl and the tree, then at my hands and the only thought that i had in mind was control .

How should i control this increased strength of mine, before it was something easy to control since my strength was still strong but not by this much strong, but now with me getting that much stronger , i will have to keep my strength under precise control as to not let what happened to that owl,happen again and i know quite the way to do that .

I looked towards the still standing still while quivering goblins and since, i will have to wait a bit more time than intended , i might give myself some sparring partners .

10 minutes later i finished my sparring with the severely tired and bruised four goblins and went to the shaman and stole his 70 mana points increasing my mana to 95 .

I got a refreshing feeling and sensed that my mana regeneration speed increased even more then returned back to continue sparring leaving the shaman who now was in coma .

10 minutes later, as i was about to get another new skill the other goblin swarms began to send some goblins as scouts but i dealt with them all accordingly then went back to get the ( Healing Magic ) skill from the shaman who was still unconscious .

And used Appraisal on the new skill :

( Healing Magic ) ( Active Skill ) : using magic for healing purposes .

Effect :

heal yourself a targeted ally by 100% .

Cost : 10 mana .

Cooldown : 10 minutes .

It will ease the need to continue resting from times to times during our sparring for the rest of the goblins , there appearances were now very much pitiful .

But my training was going well as i'm now able to gauge the amount of strength i'm using while fighting those guys .

Notice: the individual Ryuu Sakurai had met the condition of the passive skill Well-balanced and was able to successfully learn it .

I was able to gain a new skill too, let's see what this one do , but why was it another Passive skill .

Well-balanced ( Passive skill ) : you are very much in control of your strength .

Effect : give the holder of the skill a 100% control over his strength .

I guess my hard work paid off after all, another cool skill , i guess those guys are of no use to me other than offering some meager amount of fighting experience .

10 minutes later , i killed some goblin scouts, i got the passive skill ( Dark vision ) , i was now able to see 1 and half kilometer in the dark as bright as i see in day .

10 minutes later, no more goblin scouts came this time, i got the passive skill ( Battle Frenzy ) and released the cave goblin from the suffering and the skill became like this :

( Battle Frenzy ) ( Passive skill ) : increasing strength during combat .

Effect : boost the strength of the holder by 1 time for the duration of combat .

Another 10 minutes later one of the two swarms decided to fully attack and it was the first time i saw Battle Frenzy in action, a one sided massacre on them, as every blow that i delivered, was now able to deal devastating damage to them and with using the Centipede's Swiftness the whole skirmish ended in my favor and in seconds .

The skill i got this time was the active skill Transmute that now looked like this :

( Transmutation ) ( Active Skill ) : altering materials into useful items .

Effect : Converts one item into another with up to 100% effectiveness .

Cost : depends on the item converted and what was it converted to .

And said goodbye to another goblin .

40 minutes later , no more goblin swarm came to attack me who was currently sitting in the same place but was surrounded by goblins caresses and i was now able to get the 4 skills :

1- ( Cave Resilience ) ( Active Skill ) : boosting endurance temporarily .

Effect : boost stamina by 2 times for 10 minutes .

Cost : 10 mana .

Cooldown : 5 minutes .

2- ( Rock Slide ) ( Active Skill ) :

triggering a landslide on enemies .

Range : 100 meters

Effect :

Deals great damage and causes a 10 minutes stun to enemies in a small area .

Cost : 20 mana .

Cooldown : 10 minutes .

3- ( Camouflage ) ( Active Skill ) : for blending into the area around you allowing escape or ambush

Effect :

Reduces enemy detection chance by 100% for 50 minutes .

Cost : 5 mana , 15 stamina .

Cooldown : 10 minutes .

4- ( Curse ) ( Active Skill ) : casting curses on enemies .

Effect :

Reduces targets fighting effectiveness by 100% for 10 minutes .

using the Stun curse the shaman able to stun enemies for 50 minutes and this duration decrease against more powerful enemies than the caster .

Cost : 20 mana for the decreasing effectiveness curse , 30 mana for the stun curse .

Cooldown : 20 minutes .

I finished off the rest of the goblins with a very amused smile on my face and why wouldn't i be i might have increased my strength by another great margin , and get a few more decent skills that will make my next fight against that Goblin Lord a lot more easier .

I was enjoying myself when i began to hear some rumbling from a bit of distance away and it was getting closer too, thanks to Dark Vision i was able to see the colossal green figure that was making his way towards the area where i was currently staying in fuming, he was literally releasing smoke from his nostrils and mouth by just breathing in and out, the scene of a colossal green goblin towering over the trees in the Wicked Forest and was currently coming in your direction would have probably demoralized even the high ranking Adventurers .

He was a walking like a fortress and had a menacing red aura around him but he wasn't the only problem, the scene of more than a few thousands goblins marching behind him like his most devoted servants was what made fighting this abomination quite the hurdle i presumed but for me, sorry but swarm fighting tactics will be of no use in front of me , Appraisal :
