Demon King

I had a time when I thought the opportunity for storm growth had come.

“Kiehei!”

[You got 1,110 XP.]

[You got 1 Silver.]

[1: 39: 28]

Still?

I sharpened my teeth watching the Goblin Warrior fall before my eyes. It was the 32nd Goblin Warrior, and my level was still 29.

‘You must have had more than 50,000 experience to reach level 29. ’

It was too weird. At level 29, you wouldn't need this much experience. It was different from what you needed to become level 28, but it wasn't as different as it is now.

No, wait.

I remembered when I reached level 10. At that time, I just passed away, but I still remember growing to level 10 even though I received 1,000 XP as a quest reward compared to before reaching level 7 with only 200 XP.

The same goes for reaching Level 20. I received a substantial amount of experience, and I thought a lot of it had gone up, but it was only level 25. No, I thought it was high enough, but since then, I didn't need that much experience to achieve level 26. At that time, I thought it was strange.

‘Is this repeated to give you level 10? Then again, there was a game like this. ’

A system that makes leveling difficult in certain intervals. The amount of EXP needed to level up is greatly increased, but the growth rate will return to normal when you reach that level. I went through that.

Then it is understandable. I could understand. Above all, my first evolution took place at level 10. Perhaps there is something meaningful in the numbers falling just to 10.

I assumed the situation, but I couldn't help but get angry. I was angry that I ate the corpse of a degraded Goblin Warrior.

[Strength +1.]

[Lesser swordsmanship is now Lv3.]

[Beginner Detection will become Lv10 and become Lesser Detection. Increases detectable range and precision.]

Surprisingly, the rising pains subsided. I was glad to have gained strength, of course, but two of the skills made me happy.

Goblin Warriors have a basic high level of beginner swordsmanship. Yes, a novice. It's not minor.

I, on the other hand, have joined a lesser sword. And the gap between the beginner and the lesser makes a huge difference in combat. I can see the trajectory the enemy's sword will draw, and I can't read the trajectory of the sword I'm extending. Skills were so absolute.

So there was no way I wouldn't be happy now that level one went up.

But what pleases me more than that is sensing. So far, I've been able to detect a milestone within a 14m radius around me, which has risen to a lower level and has increased to 20 m in a short period. Even more detailed was the technique I felt.

Within a radius of 20 meters, the amount of information flowing into my senses increased greatly.

If I had acquired low-level sensing when I was a layman, I would have been intoxicated immediately, but now my physical ability has increased in many ways and I have slowly learned from the beginner, so it was not that difficult to adapt. And after adjusting, I felt like I had entered a new world.

The first piece of information I detected.

There are two Goblin Warriors in the next aisle. Rotten. Moreover, they're coming for me. I felt an ominous sensation there.

Again? You want me to take on the Goblin Warriors one more time for all the crap I did against the Goblin Fighters? Hopefully not. I stand as close to the entrance of the passageway as I can to kill him.

And the moment they enter the passageway, they release Bastard with power.

“Ahhhh!”

“Kuaak!”

The Goblin Warrior A has a hole in its neck. I lunged with all my might and slammed into him. Goblin Warrior B tried to attack me on behalf of A, but my body was completely covered with A.

I shot "A" in the head instead of the black one he wielded. I swing my sword lightly to finish "A."

[You got EXP 960.]

[You got 80 bronze.]

[Beginner Raid is Lv4.]

He pushes the corpse to B, but B avoids it with a big move. Now! I reach out my hand and shoot the Black Lightning bolt at B.

A black lightning bolt directly under his sword flows in with his weapon and electrocutes him. The moment B opened his eyes, I charged.

Bastard slapped me on the shoulder.

“Grrrgh!"

“Kirik!”

Dammit, you're playing the Goblin Warrior theme!

I was able to avoid a direct hit to the head thanks to the reading of his blade's trajectory just before.

He tried to hurt me again, swinging his sword like I did, but I bent down hard and raised my sword to the ends of the earth for a moment to attack his jaw!

The fist of the man who didn't hold Bastard struck me in the head without pity, but I had to endure it. Even in terrible pain, my movements did not waver a bit.

“Glug!”

“Die!”

Bastard, who pierced his face with his chin, protrudes out of his head. The moment Bastard stopped touching my neck, I was able to relax.

[You got EXP 1,080.]

[You got 1 Silver.]

[Level Up!]

[Beginner armor defense skill obtained.]

[Beginner Armor Defense Lv1]

[Skill that uses armor to defend against enemy attacks. The higher the skill level, the less damage you take from your enemies and the more effectively you can defend yourself. Boosts the skill's growth if hit a lot.]

The level up I've been waiting for, plus a skill I didn't expect. But more than that, I was reflecting on myself who had just been attacked by a goblin warrior.

‘Damn, Heilang is definitely a powerful skill, but it's still a novice. There is no guarantee that the Goblin Warrior will be definitely electrocuted or put under a curse. It's suicide to rush into a Black Mine! ’

Rather, you should sharpen and clean your sword and body, rely on the armor defense you just acquired, and focus less on getting attacked by your enemies and more on your attacks.

If we believe that Black Lightning is a universal technique, we will make a mistake that can lead to death in a moment as bitter as before.

‘All right, let's reflect. I reflected.’

Then it's time to figure out how to deal with the five Goblin Warriors coming in a straight line from the passageway over there.

Damn it.
