After Greed said that, I climbed the tree that I leaned on earlier. And then, I sat on a big branch.
Normal people never visit the Hobgoblin Forest this late at night. So, the corpse that thing dragged was most likely some skilled warrior that I met at the outside gate of the commercial district before I came here. Being proud to that extent and now he is dead!
I’m curious with this big goblin so I used [Appraisal] to it.
Goblin King!? This fellow…
The servants of the Hearts family have said that the Goblin King is like a boss of the goblins around here, it is insanely strong. Because there are only a few in the forest, the encounter rate was very low, but if you met one of them, you must prepare for death. This was a monster which can be defeated easily if you were a Holy Knight. However, if you were an ordinary warrior, a single blow will bring you an instant death.
Kuchakucha… I heard unpleasant sounds. Even I who lurked in the trees was able to hear it.
Uee… While I held down my nausea, Greed said something.
I succeed reaching the withered tree at last. I could hear the munching sound from the opposite side.
[Fate, make your move now!]
Through the mind reading skill, I heard Greed’s voice which gave me the signal. I moved and slashed down my black sword to the right shoulder that was visible from the gigantic tree.
Gyaaa—!?
[The fellow is not dead yet. Retreat now!]
I’d probably die if I got hit by that.
After it lost its right arm, the bleeding Goblin King roared, and it raised the club with its left hand.
When I was thinking about evading it, Greed said,
After I pulled out, I shook off the Goblin King’s blood which was attached onto my black sword.
As my feeling of tension lowered, Greed said that to me while I was sitting down.
I guess I have no choice… Good grief, when I listened how much power that Greed needed, he said (It’s because I am Greed, so I am very greedy) to answer me.
[This is my form on first rank, type: bow. Hereafter, I will help you in two forms, one-handed sword and bow]
