Zeke made sure to take a rest , he settle down on a bench made of wood in the village for almost an hour , he thought about the fight he had and was contemplating on it so that he wouldn't make the same mistakes again .
Zeke clenched his fists and felt that he had enough rest and was ready to fight again , he rised from the bench and made his way out of the village , once outside he took the same route but making sure that no one follows him , because players were still in the village some were hunting on the other side , so Zeke didn't want anyone to follow him .
Zeke kept moving forward and after walking for an hour he reached the familiar cave , but this time no Goblin was standing guard which was odd .
Zeke thought ' Maybe they all are gathered in one place inside , i should take them by surprise ' .
Zeke entered the cave , it was a straight path but still he was cautious , he was sure there might be traps a head but to his surprise there were none .
Zeke reached the place where last time he had the battle he saw that the bodies of the dead Goblins were still there .
At that time Zeke had an idea , he remembered that his sword can absorb the power of others so why not use it on them , Zeke summoned his Black Sword from the inventory and thrusted it inside the body of the Goblin which was dead , but the system didn't respond which meant this one won't grant him any power .
For the next 20 minutes Zeke thrusted his sword inside every dead goblin which were scattered on the ground , there were a total of 30 Goblins , which Zeke killed on his previous encounter but he didn't get much from this act , the system only mentioned 3 times that he got out of 30 bodies , Zeke was a little disappointed with the outcome but still it was better than nothing .
[ 1+ Strength ]
[ 1 + Presence ]
[ 1 + Agility ]
Zeke was still satisfied that three of his stats increased by one .
Zeke looked at his sword in hand realizing he has only focused on his two spells , he doesn't even know how to properly swing a sword , he wanted to become proficient in it , but now was not the time he would return to village and ask someone there , but now let's focus on what I came to do .
Zeke placed his sword back in inventory and slowly moved forward , after making sure that there were no goblins standing above the wooden platform he moved forward , but walking for a while Zeke didn't encountered a single Goblin which was strange and Zeke decided to venture deep into the cave .
Zeke kept walking and soon he saw something and couldn't believe his eyes .
All the Goblins were in the same place and the Goblins which was the biggest Zeke saw last time was sitting on what looked like a throne and all other Goblins were standing , like they were his army .
Zeke gulped , the idea of attacking any single one was foolish unless he had a death wish , but Zeke came here after making his mind about finishing what he started .
Zeke felt fear , it was obvious although je wasn't sure how strong the big guy on the throne was , he could kill every other Goblin with tactics .
Zeke inhale a deep breath and said " Ok , here goes " .
Zeke launched his spells simultaneously ' Thunderflame ' , and ' Thunderstrike ' .
It struck the Goblins that were in the back killing them instantly .
The moment an explosion happened all the Goblins turned around and saw me a n intruder attacked and killed their kin .
The Goblins howled and charged towards me.
Growllllll !
I attacked with my spells again simultaneously , the notifications of killing the goblins kept ringing in my head , but I didn't pay it any mind .
Zeke dashed backward to the way he came from , putting the distance between himself and Goblins to secure advantage .
In the next moment the Goblins came swarming like ants , Zeke quickly launched his spells again simultaneously , killing five of them instantly .
Zeke didn't stopped and kept firing his spells one after an other.
Zeke noticed that the Goblin archers were going to fire arrows so he quickly took cover behind a small slope to be safe .
But to Zeke's surprise archers weren't the only issue because in the next moment a spear crashed pass the place where he was taking cover , Zeke look bewildered .
Zeke glanced toward the place where the attack came from and saw 10 Goblins which look a little bigger than others carrying spears and were lunging toward him .
Zeke seeing this attack them with his spells , thi king that they would have died , but this time they all took the damage and weren't injured badly kept closing the distance .
Zeke seeing the situation turning against him , didn't think for a moment a ran backward hoping to secure some sort of advantage .
A bold idea came to his mind Zeke summoned his Black sword and took a stance , he also casted a spell " Thunderflame " on his sword , the sword was engulfed in yellow lightning and his other spell with which he would attack them .
As soon as those 10 Goblins came in view zeke launched his spell " Thunderstrike " at them , and Zeke himself lunged forward with his sword engulfed in ' Thunderflame ' attacking them head on he knew , it was risky and other than this Zeke couldn't see any advantage for himself .
Zeke slashed his sword vertically with both hands cutting the Goblin deep on its chest , and then slashed horizontally to the left beheading one of the Goblin , the dust cleared from the impact of the spell , the five Goblins didn't died but now they were severly injured and Zeke knew this was his chance so he didn't wasted any second Zeke launched another spell Thunderstrike but this time on the other 3 Goblins with spear who were fine so that they coukd be injured and in the mean time he could kill these 5 Goblins who were injured .
Zeke didn't wasted a second and slashed his sword violently on the 5 injured goblins and killing them in one by one , Zeke then turned to the remaining 3 Goblins who were now clearly injured by his earlier attack and Zeke didn't gave them a chance to retaliate and finished them by delivering one blow to each of them with his sword .
Zeke looked down at the dead bodies of these goblins surrounding him and his breathing was a little ragged , Zeke looked down at the sword in his hands , he was still processing about what just happened he was stunned by what just took place .
At that time the system notification rang in his head .
[ You have killed 10 , Level 4 Goblins ]
Zeke raised an eyebrow and murmured ' So these Goblins using spears were Level 4 , while those others are Level 3 , Well I too am Level 4 , I guess that's why i took on 10 Goblins of the same level at a time ' .
Zeke was lost in his thought when the sound of notifications rang in his head again .
[ 1+ Mind ]
[ 2 + Stamina ]
[ 2 + Presence ]
[ 1 + Agility ]
A smile came across Zeke's face , he was happy that his stats increased , he knew it was because he used to kill these Goblins with sword so their power was devoured and he don't have to try by thrusting his sword in every single one of them .
Zeke while carrying his sword moved forward because during his fight with these Goblins , the rest of the horde didn't chased so he wanted to look what they were doing .
Zeke with a steady pace kept moving forward , and then he saw that all the Goblins were returning to their settlement , with their backs turned to Zeke , he didn't missed the opportunity and attacked with his spells , instantly killing 5 more Goblins , now thier number were so much decreased that , he could count them .
Zeke didn't know how much total Goblins were their but now on 15 remains except the big one in the settlement .
Zeke's face was covered with sweat after all the fighting he did , and now only 15 Goblins left and then he will have to fight the big Guy , Zeke didn't wasted a second and just used both of his spells again simultaneously three times which killed all the remaining Goblins .
[ You have killed 15 , Level 3 Goblins ]
Zeke was tired and he settle down on the ground , after all he had to kill a lot of Goblins although their level was low and so was his , it was still a tiresome work .
Zeke sat down to catch his breath for a while , he needed rest before fighting the big Goblin , and Zeke knew he won't come out unscathed in this battle , his level was still low and who knows what level was that monster .
When Zeke first saw the big Goblin , the air around that monster was denser than the rest of them combined , so before fighting it, Zeke knew he must be fully recovered , but to Zeke's surprise even that huge Goblin didn't came out to check , whether his underlings were fine or not , well what do you expect from a monster ..
