Chapter 220: Reincarnator! This Guy’s a Reincarnator Just Like Mom!
The massive Big Goblin roared as it swung its thick wooden club downward.
Yet its movements appeared sluggish to Army Lady’s eyes.
The golden-haired girl sidestepped the attack, her sword following the club’s trajectory to slice across the goblin’s neck.
Ssshhht—
Blood sprayed as the oversized head thumped to the ground, the headless corpse collapsing like felled timber.
No sooner had she slain this foe than a dozen more goblins swarmed from the shadows.
Her blade traced a silver arc.
Brief shrieks pierced the air as the smaller creatures split into twitching halves, their bisected forms littering the earth.
Without breaking rhythm, Army Lady danced through the horde, each precise strike clearing her path toward the cavern entrance.
Meanwhile…
Lvzi’s combat proved far more methodical.
Emerald liquid beaded at her slender fingertips. As each acidic droplet formed, she flicked her wrist forward with lethal grace.
Goblins struck by the viscous fluid froze mid-charge, collapsing into writhing heaps as their Health Values plummeted to zero. Big Goblins and Goblin Warriors fared marginally better, their heightened Health Values and Abnormal State Resistance Ability granting temporary reprieve.
Yet even these sturdier foes couldn’t endure the searing agony of dissolving flesh. Once contaminated, the corrosive toxin burned through hide and muscle, its venomous payload seeping into vital organs. Only immediate amputation could halt the spreading necrosis – a desperate measure none of the panicking creatures managed to attempt.
The goblin tide surged endlessly, each fallen warrior replaced by three more screeching replacements. Yet any creature crossing the three-meter threshold around Lvzi abruptly stiffened – victims of her combined Poison Gas and Paralysis Attachment skills. Paralysis locked their limbs while toxins coursed through primitive circulatory systems, ensuring most never regained movement before their Health Values bottomed out.
"Gaba?!"
The two Goblin Kings guarding the cave entrance exchanged alarmed growls. After a terse exchange, one retreated into the cavern’s depths while its counterpart charged forward, massive sword hefted high.
"Should we intercept the messenger?" Army Lady wondered aloud. Then realization struck: eliminating these chieftains would throw the entire Goblin Tribe into disarray, inevitably drawing out whatever lurked deeper within.
"Stop that runner, Stealth One!"
"Way ahead of you!"
Their thoughts synchronized perfectly. With a meaningful glance at her companion, Stealth One blurred into motion.
A shadow darted into the cave, materializing instantly before the Goblin King who had just entered the cavern. The darkness contorted unnaturally before solidifying into a young woman with flowing gray hair.
"Gaba!"
The Goblin King startled, bellowing into the cavern depths before charging at Stealth One with raised blade. His sword swept downward only to meet empty air as Stealth One dissolved into shadow, then vanished completely from his field of vision.
Upon her disappearance, the Goblin King froze mid-motion, confusion clouding his eyes as though his very purpose had been erased.
"Stealth": Conceals the user’s presence through "Soundless" and "Scentless" effects while slightly enhancing mobility. When breaking the target’s line of sight, this skill induces momentary mental blankness in the opponent, creating critical openings.
As the creature hesitated, Stealth One materialized behind her prey. Her razor-edged dagger found its mark between the Goblin King’s shoulder blades. Through extensive observation of Granville Monster Forest’s inhabitants, she’d memorized every monster’s vital points – this blade from the castle’s underground armory being her perfect instrument, chosen for lethal precision over cumbersome swords.
The impaled Goblin King roared back to awareness despite his plummeting Health Value, swinging wildly at empty air. Stealth One danced between shadow and form, crimson trails flowering across her foe’s body with each eviscerating pass. Though both Class B entities, the gulf between a max-level assassin and underleveled monarch proved insurmountable – in experience, skill potency, and tactical acumen.
When the bloodied king finally collapsed, Stealth One emerged from shifting darkness to survey the battleground. Beyond the cave mouth stood Army Lady and waving Lvzi beside another royal corpse. "Total goblin chaos!" Lvzi called out.
Nodding, Stealth One turned toward the cavern’s heart –
"Stealth One!!"
"Behind you!"
Killing intent prickled her neck an instant before Army Lady’s warning. She phased into shadows – too late. A massive fist cratered her ribcage, shattering her transformation mid-shift. The impact launched her across stone, blood spraying as she crumpled at the cave entrance.
"Stealth One!" Lvzi lunged forward only for Army Lady to blur past, retrieving their injured comrade. The damage assessment chilled them – one strike had erased a third of her Health Value.
"Superior speed… and power…" Stealth One gasped through bloodied lips, wrenching free from supporting arms. Even accounting for ambush tactics, this foe dwarfed common goblins.
Their gazes locked on the emerging threat – a hulking, humanoid goblin with predator’s grin. Saliva dripped between jagged teeth as it spoke in flawless human tongue: "Adventurers? Here? And such exquisite specimens… This king prefers his prey spirited!"
"Reincarnator!" Lvzi cried. "Like Mother!"
Understanding dawned as their appraisal skills activated:
[Unique Skill – Goblin King]
[Reincarnator Status Confirmed]
The status panel’s glowing figures drew sharp breaths – this was no ordinary monarch, but a dimensional intruder wielding terrifying parameters.
