I Am Not A Goblin Slayer

They might easily kill one goblin, ten, a hundred, or even more, but as long as they are living beings, they will feel fatigue, whether it be physical or mental. Once their condition declines, these ocean-like monsters can eventually overwhelm them.

As for Gauss, he is an exception.

However, he is not a perpetually enduring killing machine either.

It’s just that his endurance limit, due to various title effects, talents, and specializations, has been elevated to an impressive level.

Thinking of this, he decided to test his skills.

As his spiritual power continuously poured into the spell model of [True Illusion], soon, hundreds of goblin phantoms gathered before him.

They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, looking fierce. Although Gauss didn’t spend much time, these illusions looked no different from real goblins.

This is probably what a ”talented” contender looks like.

He was so familiar with goblins that fabricating their illusionary scenes was second nature to him.

After all, the blood of more than ten thousand goblins who died by his hands was not shed in vain.

”Perfect.”

Although some spiritual power was consumed, Gauss was very satisfied with the result in front of him.

”True Illusion mastery +1”

”4th Ring Spell True Illusion lv1 (1/10)”

”Next is to construct more. Just a hundred goblins, no matter how real, won’t fool anyone.”

With the investment of Gauss’s spiritual power, more goblin illusions were ”created.”

Looking at the thousands of goblin illusions in front of him, he finally nodded with satisfaction.

Thousands of fearless goblins, what a terrifying force this is.

”It’s a pity these are all illusions I constructed...”

If they really existed, they would undoubtedly be a delicious snack for Gauss.

After completing the illusionary scene construction of Goblin Hell, Gauss then followed up by constructing illusions based on his familiarity with Hephaestus and the kobold.

”Mission accomplished.”

Next comes constant practice to quickly improve proficiency.

Otherwise, these illusions are just that, illusions—though realistic, they lack a kind of compelling, inescapable power.

Afterwards, a busy Gauss continued practicing the 3rd Ring Spell [Thunder Summoning Skill] and studying the spellbook obtained from the depths of the kobold leader’s lair, the 3rd Ring Spell [Memory Seal], 2nd-level Spell [Hypnosis Spell], and 2nd-level Spell [Echolocation].

Among them, the last spell, Echolocation, Gauss is likely not to use, as he has better detection skills. The purpose of learning it is merely to increase related magic experience.

Time quietly passed in this way.

...

Outside in the wilderness.

Several figures were moving quickly, as if avoiding some threat.

”Deputy Leader Luna, you must stop and rest for a moment now.”

The Ranger beside her saw her pale face and loudly reminded.

But Luna stubbornly shook her head.

”My injury is not serious.”

This was a lie.

That bizarre dark energy inside her was eroding her physical strength.

However, now was not a time when she could stop to rest.

She could feel that there seemed to be some kind of mark inside her body. This mark’s existence was why the group repeatedly changed their course of action, but Fisher’s group always managed to follow behind them.

Fisher...

The thought of the scenes from that night made her face turn extremely grim.

She and Leader Wolf underestimated the strength of this intelligence captain. Even now, she could not understand how he managed to severely wound the leader so quickly.

One must know that Leader Wolf was not an ordinary Level 10 Warrior. To severely injure Wolf in such a short time without causing a big commotion, even an Extraordinary Strong Person would find it difficult.

It was because of this that the moment she discovered Wolf’s death, she decisively withdrew with her people.

However, despite her quick response, the opponent still left a foreign energy inside her body.

Both she and her partners tried to expel it, but unfortunately failed.

Moreover, as time passed, its effect continued to strengthen.

”Damn it!”

Luna wanted to escape back to town, but the opponent was relentless, forcing her to venture deep into several dangerous areas to barely escape entrapment a few times.

”Screech!!!”

Suddenly, a sharp and clear bird cry rang out from above.

Luna looked up and saw that brown giant eagle soaring in the clouds.

That was the shapeshift of a Captain of the Druid profession in the team.

Thinking of this, her heart tightened.

Its arrival also meant that Fisher and the others were not far off.

She took out a map, intending to use the previous strategies of escape and continue looking for dangerous monster nests to hide from Fisher and others.

As long as they entered a large monster nest, Fisher and others wouldn’t dare chase too far.

Because in doing so, those monsters would easily shift their target to the main force of Gray Wolf’s Fang, rather than focusing on Luna’s smaller group.

”No, there’s nothing here either.”

Glancing at the map, aside from a few small villages, there were no marked large monster nests nearby.

Her heart slowly sank to the bottom.

She knew that in her current physical state, once trapped by the main force of Gray Wolf’s Fang, it would be nearly impossible to lead her people in a successful assault.

By that time, the only thing waiting for her would be death.
