In the forest of Goblin Valley.
Looking at the still enrage female goblin commander, Varius couldn't help but smile after reaching level 7. Looking at the goblins that are left, Varius let out a low laugh.
Seeing the goblins condition, Varius fired a volley of shots from his energy gun. With the help of his initial skill 'Weapon Mastery', Varius had a high hit rate.
The goblins were in a panic, they tried to find cover. But with their injuries cause by the grenade, they had a hard time finding cover causing some of them to die on the spot after getting shot.
The Goblin Huntress eyes were bloodshot, she coldly gaze at Varius.
Seeing this Varius kept firing, a mocking smile surfaced on his face looking at the female goblin while reloading his last magazine.
Varius walked forward and threw his gun after finishing his shots, what was left of the goblin army was either immobile or on their last breath.
Looking at Varius walking towards her, the female goblin loaded her bow and aim at him.
Seeing her action, Varius couldn't help but smile as he slowly draw his sword while walking towards the female goblin.
With the distance between them nearing about 20 meters, the female Goblin Huntress started madly shooting at Varius with her bow.
After the release, a new arrow appeared at the bow ready to be shot.
Looking at the arrow nearing him, Varius gaze became cold with his smile not disappearing.
He slashed his sword to deflect the arrow, but the outcome surprised him.
The arrow only slightly slanted narrowly missing his head, his arm becoming numb from the arrows tremendous force.
Varius' smile slowly disappear. As he hold his shield on his left hand, Varius charge wildly with the shield in front of him.
The Goblin Huntress release another arrow stopping Varius' charge, even making him stagger back a few steps.
A numb feeling came from Varius' left hand. As he saw another arrow coming, he quickly used 'Wind Blades' to alter the next arrows direction.
Then Varius started to madly run towards the goblin huntress. Using his sword and shield to alter the incoming arrows, Varius quickly arrive before the female huntress.
With his skills finishing cooldown, Varius uses charge to stun the huntress. Then, he followed with a chop.
Even with a split second, the huntress manage to block the chop with her bow.
Seeing his attack fail, Varius use roar making the huntress confused.
After gaining an opportunity, Varius quickly used 'Wind Blades' slicing the female Goblin Huntress's hand that was holding the bow.
Seeing the attack was successful, with no skill to use Varius tackled the huntress making her loss balance. Due to several reasons the female Goblin Huntress failed to react.
Because of her irrationality, she failed to block when Varius pierced her head with his sword.
[Ding! Skill 'Mid Strength' obtained.]
[Ding! Skill 'Precise Aim' obtained.]
Looking at the female Goblins corpse and the systems notification, Varius reveal a satisfied smile.
Now Varius new the reason why even with the same level, the strength of the Goblin Huntress was strong than his. Because of the 'Mid Level Strength', thou he only gained two skills after destroying a whole army, he was satisfied with his gains.
Even with the skills names being simple, it increase Varius battle prowess a few times.
Regaining his focus, Varius sat down and quickly analyze the memories of the whole goblin army.
Skipping the irrelevant information and the ones he already new, Varius obtained a new valuable information.
The weakest of the three commanders was this female huntress, even being the weakest of the three, each commander possess the strength equal to their own army.
Varius only won due to several reasons, the huntress mental state affect her battle prowess significantly. And killing her became easy for Varius.
He also found out that the two goblin commanders and the leader are all mutated creatures, making their intelligence equal to humans and strength stronger at the same level.
And the strongest goblin of their camp besides the leader was the Mutated Goblin Fighter who killed his friends. Followed by the Mutated Goblin Assassin, who was the leader of the camp's intelligence gathering department. And lastly the female Huntress that Varius just killed.
...
Varius rest for awhile before resuming his journey, he followed the information where the Mutated Goblin Assassin's army was located.
Of course Varius didn't forget bringing the female huntress bow, which was a 2 star weapon passed from the goblins ancestors.
The bow looked ordinary but with its hidden passive skill, the skill solve the bow's low firing rate.
As long as there's an arrow in your quiver, the user just need a thought and an arrow will appear on the bow ready to be fired.
After running for about an hour, Varius reach the location of the goblins second army.
Varius didn't dare to close in for about 20 meters, because of the Goblin Assassin's abilities. Varius can easily be spotted or even get ambushed.
Being on the safe side, Varius positioned his self again at the top of a tree.
He slowly looked around finding trace of the second goblin's army.
A few meters away from him, he spotted a goblin jumping from trees to trees clearly in a rush.
Varius took out a crystal, seeing that the goblin is not to high leveled.
Varius made use of his new bow and skills, he aimmed at the goblin and shot it down.
With his newly attained skill, he easily pierced the head of the level 6 Goblin Assassin.
Gaining its memory, Varius found out that the Goblin Assassin commander issued a different command disobeying the leader.
He found out that the Goblin Assassin has hidden plot, even most of his subordinates not knowing his plans.
But because Varius killed a captain of his army, Varius only gained a rough part of the plan.
Basically he ordered his men to survey the humans who entered the Spatial Rift, If they found a strong one among the humans, they should quickly report to him.
The Hobgoblin leader literally ordered them to slay any humans that was spotted, but it seems this goblin had other plans.
Due to a bunch of the goblins memory, Varius had a great understanding about the goblin camps rules.
The one who can slay the previous leader can become the new one, the competition is extremely fierce.
The Goblin Assassin made a plot to obtain the rightful rulling of the camp, but with soo little information, Varius couldn't connect the dots.
Clearing his mind, Varius decided to find the hidden Goblin Assassins in the forest to obtain more information.
