Goblins were attacking Eli when, suddenly, a notification popped up:
"Lifeless" skill activated – Fear canceled.
A goblin lunged at him, but Eli quickly dodged the attack.
He countered with a swift strike, cutting off the goblin's head. Fueled by his awakened power, Eli began a mass hunt, cutting down goblins one after another.
Outside the gate, several hunter guilds were gathering to clear it. If a gate turned red, the risk for hunters increased significantly. The most dangerous were the black gates—no guild had ever cleared one.
While the guilds argued and prepared to enter the gate, Eli had already defeated all the normal goblins. Now, he was fighting the Hobgoblin. It struck at his leg, but Eli delivered a final, devastating blow.
Eli collapsed to the ground, panting. He activated a new skill: "Corpse Devour." Then, he opened his status screen.
