Yuuna soon discovered a settlement where goblins lived in groups.
The number… about twenty?
[「Perception/Red」activated] [Goblin][D] [A dim-witted sub-species monster. The weakest among the Beasts.] 'Is that one the boss?' [Goblin Captain][D+] [The leader who commands the dim-witted sub-species monsters]
"I'll take care of those ones. Sang-hyuk, can you handle about five on the other side?" "…"
I've never done it before. But if I were to admit that I couldn't face a small monster that couldn't even reach my waist…
"A-widdle-preshus~ Alright, this noona will handle everything, so our Sang-hyuk can just wait while sucking his finger~?"
… … .
Somehow, that doesn't sound too bad either. But I felt compelled to show I could do something.
"I can do it." "If it gets tough, just buy some time. It'll probably… take me a minute!"
Oh, wow. Yuuna dashed out first.
"Keek!?" "Kekekek!" "Quyik! Quyi!"
I wondered if it was wise to draw attention like that all at once. Yuuna swiftly swung her sword, slashing through the goblins before they could even approach her. The sight of her scattering what seemed like a surge of energy took her by surprise.
'Is this an attack skill?'
My eyes involuntarily read Yuuna's skills.
[Sudden Slash] [C-Class Attack Skill] [Power: C, Range: C, Preemptive Strike Bonus: +1]
'…I wish I had something like that.'
As I thought about it, I realized I had an ability that could be considered an attack skill.
[Personality Expulsion]
Should I give it a try? It seems like anything goes against these hideous monsters.
"Dopita! Dopita!"
Swoosh! I hurled a stone at the group of goblins aiming for Yuuna's back.
"Keeck!" "Kkkiik! Kkkiik!" "I'll handle you lot."
I delivered a cool line and assumed a battle stance. Upon seeing this, the goblins' eyes widened as they each drew their blades.
'Huh?'
Aren't those sharp weapons a bit terrifying? As I stumbled backward, the goblins screamed and charged at me.
To hell with it!
"Personality Expulsion!!"
[Personality Expulsion Activated]
Take this, my unrivaled attack skill!
"Expulsion Technique"
Whooosh! The goblin that took the brunt of my kick fell flat, rendered immobile.
'Oh, that's effective?'
Was it a combat skill? If so! Time to be more aggressive!
"Personal! Expulsion Technique!"
Thwack!
"Expulsion! Technique!"
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
I actively employed the "Personal Expulsion Technique" to bring down the goblins one by one. A single decisive blow. The destructive power was immense.
The goblins, who at first glance appeared to have been knocked out, couldn't move as if they were paralyzed.
'What's this? I'm doing pretty well?'
As expected, it was effective since it was an attack skill granted by the goddess.
…Though I'm not quite sure how this relates to being an 'Eros Collector.'
[You have acquired the skill "Become an Eros!!"] [You have acquired the skill "Eros Touch"] [You have acquired the skill "Eros Inventory"]
…Yuuna was right.
It's said that one grows the fastest after awakening their talents. But all of these are dizzyingly bizarre skills.
"Transform into an Eros!!" The target's essence is reconfigured into an Eros. Unless dispelled, it remains changed forever. "Eros Touch" Gently stimulate the Eros to (forcibly) increase its state of happiness. "Eros Inventory" A sub-inventory capable of storing a finite number of Eros. Cleanliness is maintained automatically, and the state is always kept at an appropriate temperature.
…Hmm.
As I quietly examine the three Eros utility skills, Yuuna, who has finished tidying up the surroundings, approaches.
"Kim Sang-hyuk, did you see it? My amazing performance!" "…Uh, yeah. I saw it." "Did you learn a new skill? Wow, you're really quick. You might be talented." "I do have talent… The problem is that my talent lies in collecting Eros." "Hehehe…"
My once embarrassing talent, which made her want to escape, now seems to have become a comfortable joke between us. Intimacy is so important.
"Give it a try. I'll be your test subject." "That sounds like a recipe for disaster."
You want me to use "Transform into an Eros!!" on you? I don't want to imagine what would happen.
"Then what about the goblins?"
That idea was even more repulsive… Nevertheless, since they were inconsequential creatures, it might be worth giving it a try. That was when it happened.
A rustling sound emerged from beneath the grass, followed by something stirring and rising. It was…
[The goblin's expelled essence] [The goblin's expelled essence] [The goblin's expelled essence]
It was akin to slime.
