Episode.4 Inheritance of Ability

I felt a chill and my muscles began to tremble.

A goblin walked out in front of me.

‘Where did it come from?’

I didn’t even notice.

It came right in front of me, but I couldn’t tell.

And that goblin had a strange appearance.

The goblins I usually saw at other gates had green skin.

– Boom!

But the goblin standing before my eyes, with a double-edged ax stuck in the ground and both hands on the handle, is different.

The goblin’s skin was blue.

Could it be that a mutant was hiding in this cave?

I felt a slight sense of fear driven by a primal instinct.

I rolled my eyes and confirmed without moving my head around.

weird.

The goblins I know are monsters that are small in size and live in groups.

However, this guy is not small in size.

I’m 186cm tall, but this guy is a little taller than me.

Rather than living in groups, they stand alone.

This goblin seemed to be guarding something.

They don’t even attack me first, as if they can’t show me the end of this cave.

I immediately grabbed the sword with both hands and quickly approached the goblin, swinging the sword strongly from the bottom right to the top left.

However, I was immediately blocked by the goblin’s double-edged axe, and my hands were shaking and my deltoid muscles were feeling a faint pain.

The goblin lightly distanced himself from me.

Then he raised his ax and charged at me.

“GRAAA!”

I immediately rolled to the right.

– Boom!

The goblin continued to swing the double-edged ax without stopping.

I had to absorb the shock through my sword, which blocked all of those attacks.

“Ugh!”

The sound of the heartbeat is shaking.

I distanced myself from the goblin and held the sword with one hand.

If held with both hands, it could cause significant damage, but the speed was absolutely lacking.

The goblin is running.

Avoid.

Dive behind the goblin and hit it with your strongest technique.

‘Three consecutive attacks!’

“GRAAA!!”

Then the goblin spun around with a double-edged axe, fatally wounding me.

“Ahh!”

The goblin also looked vaguely tired.

“Whew… Speaking of the mutations of miscellaneous mobs… Is it so hard to deal with all of them when they become mutants?”

“GRARARARARARARARA!!!”

The goblin howled loudly.

That strange crying sound was terrible.

It felt as if my ears were being torn apart in pain.

The goblin is quickly approaching me, stomping.

– Shoo!

A double-edged ax comes down on your head.

‘Three consecutive attacks’

– Kang! -Kang! -Chaeng!

With great difficulty, he succeeded in blocking all of the goblin’s attacks as his speed increased.

‘… Now my right arm is strained… If things continue like this…”

The goblin held the double-edged ax tightly with both hands.

‘There is no time to worry!… All I can do is hold the sword with my left hand…”

I held the sword with my left hand.

The goblin backed away slightly, then brought down the huge double-edged ax once again.

– Huh!

But this time I was faster.

He immediately slid between the goblin’s legs and succeeded in cutting off his right ankle.

But in the process, the sword became two pieces.

The goblin was now kneeling on his right knee.

Without hesitation, I grabbed the broken sword back and plunged it into the back of the goblin’s neck with its still sharp edge.

“GRARARARARARARAAA!!!”

The goblin fell, leaving behind its last breath.

To confirm the kill, I took the goblin’s double-edged ax and slashed at its back.

– Okay!

Goblin blood splattered on his body.

“Wow.. Huh…. Huh…”

– Tiring!

[The King’s Agent (Lv.21) has been defeated.]

[By defeating the king’s representative, the level has increased from 10 to 17.]

[Overcame a gap of more than 10 levels and defeated the monster.]

[A corresponding reward will be given.]

[You can choose one of three random rewards.]

[compensation]

1.Skill – Inheritance of ability

2.Skill – Attribute grant

3.Tool – Weapon filled with magical power

A choice was presented before my eyes.

I thought about it, but there was only one answer.

I felt like I could give properties someday.

Weapons filled with magical power are now sold on the market.

The downside is that it is extremely expensive.

I’m not sure, but option 1, which is hard to get unless you get it right away, seemed to be the most meritorious option.

‘Selection of succession for ability number 1.’

[You have acquired the ability succession (S).]

As expected, my intuition was not wrong.

I chose the S-class option.

Is this also an effect of luck?

But how do you use the inheritance of abilities?

I approached the goblin’s corpse.

He placed his hand on the goblin’s corpse and used the technique.

‘Inheritance of ability activated.’

– Tiring!

[Abilities are inherited from the monster’s corpse.]

[Inheritable Abilities]

1. Chivalry

2. Blunt Weapon Mastery

3.Battle Ax Mastery

4. Transparency

5.Night vision

He’s a goblin… chivalry?

Was it out of chivalry not to make that preemptive strike?

This is not an ability, but more of a penalty.

Therefore, pass number 1.

Since I mainly fight with one-handed swords, I automatically pass 2 and 3.

All that remains is invisibility and night vision…

Night vision has no place to be used except in certain situations.

But transparency…

Due to the nature of my nerf abilities that require physical contact, if I have invisibility, it becomes easier for others to approach me.

Maybe it’s because it’s a mutation, but even if it’s a random mob, there’s something useful about it.

But why do goblins have invisibility?

This also seems to be caused by a mutation.

I inherited invisibility.

– Tiring!

[Inherited Invisibility (A).]

It seems that the effect of this invisibility was that the goblin was not visible at first.

However, the name is slightly different from the one known to the public.

It’s definitely a technology known in the world as ‘stealth’, but invisibility seems to be a little different.

I opened the status window.

After that, I put all my stats into strength and agility.

Since I don’t have magic, wouldn’t I need intelligence?…

I didn’t think about transparency.

I need to invest a bit in intelligence as well.

==========

[The invested stats have been applied.]

A blue light appeared on the body.

I was filled with joy at the thought that I had finally grown for the first time.

This goblin I just defeated is a named monster with the title King’s Agent.

Why is it called the king’s agent?

I soon found out.

As I went deeper into the cave, I saw that the surrounding area was lit with torches.

There was a staircase in the middle of a large space lit by torches.

Above it was a throne with a broken back.

And on the throne sat a goblin with blue skin, like an agent of the king outside.

I curled my left hand to grab the weapon, but I had left it behind.

Just when I was thinking about whether I should go back and get a weapon, I looked closer and saw that the goblin sitting on the throne was already in a state of death.

“What is it?..”

I slowly climbed the stairs and approached the throne.

Sure enough, this goblin seemed to be having trouble even breathing.

I intuitively felt that this goblin was the boss.

When I realized this, I immediately strangled the goblin.

– Shake it off.

Then the goblin fell.

The goblin’s body began to convulse and become increasingly distorted.

The body became a gate.

– Tiring!

[Defeated the Fallen King Lv.1.]

Level 1? The boss is more than the gatekeeper… ah…

I realized why the king’s representative was there.

I tried to inherit the boss’s abilities, but I wasn’t sure if I could inherit the boss’ abilities that had already turned into a gate.

“You won’t know unless you try, so I’ll give it a try.”

‘Inheritance of ability activated.’

I reached for the gate and used the technique.

– Tiring!

[Abilities are inherited from the monster’s corpse.]

[Inheritable Abilities]

1. The King’s Insight

…

Boss only has one ability?

I chose the ability to cry and eat mustard.

However, it could be said to be an incredibly powerful ability.

[You have acquired the King’s Insight (S).]

[You will be able to obtain more information in the future due to the King’s Insight (S).]

I decided to go back to the Golden Rule hideout first.

To get out of the gate, I threw my body into the gate.

But.. I feel uncomfortable when I hear that this gate is made from the body of a goblin.

I think I’ll have to wash it right away when I get back.

– Tiring!

[You have cleared the Fallen Goblin Kingdom.]

**********

It’s still dark outside.

I think I was lucky enough to find the boss quickly.

Otherwise, I would have been doomed to shivering in the cold all day.

I hurriedly went back the way I came to return to the Golden Rule hideout.

“There must have been an entrance around here?”

I looked around.

found.

There will be a manhole cover behind that big tree.

I moved right behind the tree.

However, a crazy girl I had never seen opened the manhole cover and crawled out with a bundle on her back.

“Who is there?!”

“Kya!”

– Clink!
