Being able to see clearly inside the dark cave was a bigger advantage than I thought.
“Kerry!”
A goblin holding a crude spear was hiding behind a rock. The moment you hide using the darkness and then pass by. The plan was to rush in and stab it in the side, forcing its internal organs to spill out.
But Jeong Yu-jin didn’t let that happen. He picked up a floating rock and quickly threw it.
“Keeek!”
“If you cry like that, there’s no point in ambushing you, right…? .”
The stone that bounced off the wall hit the target at a precise angle. The goblin let out a groan of pain, dropping its yellow teeth.
He didn’t die in one hit. This is because the power of the rock was halved because it bounced off the wall once.
‘Is it true that it is an F-class dungeon?’
Jeong Yu-jin, who swung the ax and finished off the suffering goblin, suddenly had this thought.
No matter how many times you kill it, it keeps popping up from somewhere and attacking you. Then he swung the ax with all his might and killed them.
It’s not that difficult. Rather, the more you kill, the more your strength and stamina increases. My condition has also improved tremendously. To the point where I wonder if I’ve ever experienced something like this again in my life.
Despite this, the number of goblins did not decrease at all. As if it had been printed in a factory, it rose from somewhere without any bottom or end.
‘I feel like I’m becoming more and more distant from people.’
If it were like before, it would have taken a lot of effort to kill even one goblin.
In that case, the person’s mind gets tired before the body. Unlike physical strength, which is replenished when rested, the mental aspect is not so, making it even more fatal.
Although Jeong Yu-jin did it inadvertently. How, why, why? I couldn’t understand why they started killing goblins. All you have to do is follow the engineering team leader.
Still, this wasn’t fun. If I were to tell you how I feel right now, I feel like I just stop by the convenience store in front of my house and buy my favorite ramen.
In the end, without finding a reason. Jeong Yu-jin moved forward. Little by little… splitting off the heads of the goblins standing in the way.
“Ah.”
The wind blowing inside the cave grew louder. Jeong Yu-jin knew right away what the cause was. This is thanks to excellent eyesight that can penetrate the darkness.
Huge cavity. There was an enormous goblin den that seemed to be twice the size of the gym. And inside, goblins that looked like they were hundreds of years old were sleeping in a tent or something.
‘Is there a passage that can go somewhere other than here?’
In addition to the road that Jeong Yu-jin had passed so far, there were four other roads that led to the joint. Maybe there is more to it than that.
Surprisingly, the goblins in the cavity behaved like humans. Either having unnamed drinks and food, or treating the wounded who were escorted. Or we got together and did something like training.
‘The real intelligence went up as it went up. Didn’t everyone make it this far? I heard they clean it regularly.’
Jeong Yu-jin used his brain to deduce why the number of goblins had increased to this point, and soon came to a conclusion.
Apparently, when an emergency arises, goblins block the common entrance. The individuals to be sacrificed will be selected and sent to the hunters.
Then, the community will continue to exist. The majority survives through the sacrifice of the few.
‘If this is right. Soon there will be a few goblins trying to block the entrance… . Ah, there he comes.’
Jeong Yu-jin quickly lowered her body. Because the sound of goblin footsteps was heard. A small body certainly helps with hiding.
“Keruk, human… . They came again in droves.”
“Entrance… . block it Special, woman. Got it. Oh my, I dedicate it to you, Seogong, I stretched the fuselage, everything.”
Shockingly, the words that came out of the goblin’s mouth were Korean. The language that Yujin Jeong is most familiar with.
‘Have these guys learned human language?’
Although the pronunciation is not clear yet. With time, you will become fluent in it. In other words, intelligence increases.
‘We have to kill everyone here.’
It wasn’t difficult to come to that conclusion. Did being selected by the Constellation increase a sense of responsibility? Jeong Yu-jin did not delay. I moved my right hand.
“Keck?!”
“That, that… . Oh my gosh—!”
There were only two goblins who came to block the entrance. The common entrance was very small. So much so that it can be quickly filled by collecting the surrounding soil.
Because of that, Jeong Yu-jin was able to kill them without difficulty before they screamed. Hitting a guy’s head with an ax. The guy behind me turned his back and smashed his face with his fist.
Needless to say, both of them died instantly.
‘oh my god. Has flexibility increased now? .’
Jeong Yu-jin, who instantly realized that she had demonstrated outstanding flexibility like a gymnast, touched her waist and muttered.
I only killed two. There will be more people to kill in the future.
‘When are you going to kill all of that? Ugh… . Even if I do it all day, it will take a long time.’
Jeong Yu-jin unconsciously thought that he wanted to kill so many goblins at once. I just thought about it. I don’t think it would be that difficult to kill anyway… .
And the bloody mother granted her child’s wish.
[It’s my child. That’s great. Although it is a small thing. You have given me a lot of good blood. I will give you the new power you deserve. But know that this is only a fragment. Collect artifacts and complete my power.]
‘yes? Oh, it’s hot!’
In an instant, my palms became very hot. Jeong Yu-jin was surprised and opened her hands.
His blood leaked out through his tiny pores and gradually gathered into a sphere. At first glance, it looked like a red bead, but it continued to receive Jeong Yu-jin’s blood and grew.
‘… grenade.’
Even though no one told me what it was for, I knew how to use it.
Since he knew how to use it and its effects, Jeong Yu-jin, without wasting time to waste time, threw it very hard into the cavity where the goblins lived.
After a while. The sound of an explosion engulfed the entire cavity.
***
Goblin society is not huge, as each race is a race. It is a place where everything exists.
A chef who makes soup using plants, mushrooms, and bugs that grow in a cave. Or an alchemist who makes medicine using such ingredients. There is even a blacksmith who picks up rocks and makes weapons.
And the goblin king who rules over them, Broken Tusk II, is in trouble again today.
‘The frequency of visits by humans is increasing. One day, their joint location will be revealed… . What should I do? We can’t afford to lose any more warriors!’
As an individual who lived in the goblin den for the longest time, he was capable of higher thoughts and was lost in thought as he covered his head.
I don’t want to meet humans. He is a demon who kills goblins for no reason, picks up their corpses, and removes the magic stone from their hearts.
Broken Tusk II, surprisingly, he just wanted his kingdom to live in peace. Ordinary goblins cannot think like this. As my intelligence increased, I began to understand the concept of ‘peace’.
‘Hide children and sacrifice older warriors are now limited. Someday, surely… .’
If a proper army attacks, annihilation is inevitable, no matter how intelligent the goblins are.
With just a flick of a finger, humans can spray dozens of lead bullets within seconds, and can even spew fire and lightning from their hands.
I wonder if the dungeon will remain for about 100 years. I can’t handle it right now.
Broken Tusk II closed his eyes again today, worrying about his country.
“Keeek! Wow, you are the king!”
“What’s going on? Yellow front teeth.”
“You bastards! From! Amazing, one water, one thing, get it, get it! Burning stick!”
“Stick? Are you talking about guns? You need to learn to speak more.”
Broken Tusk II, who had survived soldiers several times, was able to identify the two K2 rifles and K3 machine gun given to him by his loyal subjects.
And suddenly, a great plan emerged from the small green head.
‘This is it! As long as I have this, I can repel the humans no matter how many times they attack!’
It’s too heavy and big for a goblin to lift. Due to its ability to appear throughout the dungeon, if used in a surprise attack, it can have a very frightening effect.
Even if the opponent uses the same weapon, it is definitely possible as long as you can shoot first.
‘If humans come in, shoot them and kill them. After that. You’re negotiating. For peace… . They won’t send more troops just to kill us. ‘If you’re determined, you can kill as many people as you want.’
You can’t trade dozens of goblins for one human. As the number of deaths increases, only humans will suffer.
If that happens, humans will leave this small, unminable dungeon alone. Probably forever.
Peace has always been maintained through force. Broken Tusk, knowing this fact all too well, looked at his prey with satisfaction.
“And! Offer, sacrifice! I got the offering!”
“Sacrifice? Didn’t they say kill all humans?”
“She is a woman with special, special, special abilities! Offer it to your mother and gain a new generation!”
“Hmm… . good night. I, too, was in need of a successor. Make sure to offer it.”
On top of the highest stairs in the cavity. There is an altar there.
Take the human heart from the altar and throw it towards the stairs. ‘Mother’ immediately responds and gives a goblin with outstanding intelligence and ability.
A long time ago, Broken Tusk II, born in the same way, grew his kingdom through intelligence superior to that of his kin.
‘good. Things are going smoothly. soon… . It may not be difficult for us to attain the same status as humans.’
The higher your intelligence, the better your ability to empathize.
Broken Tusk II is not as good as a human. Still, he was a goblin who could empathize with the pain of others.
Now, to humans, goblins are just things that need to be defeated. This will not be the case in the future.
It will become an organism for coexistence. Because goblins have excellent dexterity. I was willing to sacrifice this body for a future where humans and goblins live together.
“Hmm?”
And then a strange object fell in front of the goblin king.
About 5 seconds ago. It was ‘Blood Rage’, the ability that Jeong Yu-jin had awakened.
About 3 seconds after the bloody fury fell in front of the king.
His ambitions were shattered.
