Chapter 5 - The Hideout

I looked around the forest to look for a Goblin's encampment. There are so many goblins in this area so that must be the reason.

After looking for a while, "Hehe, found it."

The goblin encampment was huge. There are two towers with two Archer Goblins each. And one tower in the middle is what I think a Goblin that blows the horn whenever someone gets near their base. There's a lot of Goblin Tanks. That's going to be a problem. There are about five houses and I don't know how many exactly are there. I see an old Goblin. Maybe its the chieftain here. And there are... I don't know what that is. But they are freaking huge. "System, analyze goblins."

[Archer Goblins x4, Goblin Alarm x1, Goblin Sage x1, Strength-Type Goblins x2, Goblin Tanks x10]

System doesn't analyze hidden things so this is just a rough calculation. I needed to eliminate this camp. This will be good for my leveling and getting skills.

I hid behind the trees and equipped my bow. "Abyssal Enhancement, Bow." It has its damage enhanced. I need to one shot those archer goblins or I will be rushed by everyone. "Abyssal Enhancement, arrows."

[Abyssal Enhancement doesn't work on ammunitions or throwable items.]

"That's that. Welp. I've got to give this shot everything I got." I aimed for one of the Archer Goblin's head. Aiming this bow was pretty difficult since this is my first time. I released the tension from the bow and hit one of the Archer Goblin. The other noticed and I immediately shot an arrow again. "That was close. If they noticed the Goblin Alarm will notify the whole encampment."

<You gained 150 EXP>

I did the same with the other tower and killed the two Archer Goblins.

<You gained 150 EXP>

I can't get the Shroud skill since they are not near me.

Seeing how much trouble the Goblin Alarm will be I sniped him with my bow and arrow.

<You gained 50 EXP>

Now that I think about it if I killed the Goblin Alarm first, killing the Archers would've been less risky.

I went to the entrance of their base. There are five Tank Goblins. I threw a rock to the trees to distract them. They took the bait. "Abyssal Enhancement, Shortsword." The sword was buffed. I just need to wait for the right time to strike. The Tank Goblins were pretty wary and they were walking slowly.

"System, Sprint."

I ran towards them and they were startled. Before they could draw their swords I sliced up two tank goblins with ease. The others were unfazed and still tried to ram me into the trees. I used the same tactic of stabbing them on their heads seeing how small they are. I killed another one. "That's three." The goblins backed up getting ready to ram me again. They noticed how I easily killed the two. The goblins dropped their shield and rushed at me with their sword. "Shit." I dodged one goblin but the other one got me in the leg. I tried to cover my pain with my mouth since if I make even a noise all of the goblins inside will kill me. "Crap. *pant*" They backed up again to charge at me once again. I threw my sword that caught them off guard and that pierced through one of the goblins. I equipped my bow and shot the remaining one.

<You gained 375 EXP>

<You leveled up to Level 4!>

"Heal!" My leg wound healed instantly. It wasn't that deep. "Why do they always get my leg? Anyways. I need to elimate the other 5." I checked to see if the Tank Goblins had new skills. "System Devour Tank Goblins. And there it was.

[Rage]

Increases one's overall damage but reduces HP.

[Gained skill Rage]

[Skill Devourer proficiency unlocked]

<Skill Devourer upgrades to Level 2>

The rage must've been unlocked from those two goblins. So driving someone at the edge can unlock hidden abilities? That's interesting. And it seems like I upgraded Skill Devourer. "System, what does level 2 skills give me?"

[It unlocks skills that isn't available in <Level 1> skills.]

"System, explain."

[For example, your skill, Skill Devourer in <Level 1> you can get common skills. If unlocked to <Level 2> you can get uncommon skills.]

"System, what are these common and uncommon skills?" I didn't understand it fully. There is surely a lot of mysteries in this world.

[Skills and Equipments are divided into tier classes.

<Common> - Lowest

<Uncommon>

<Rare>

<Epic>

<Legendary>

<Mythical>

<Ancient> - Highest

And every use of Skill Devourer will increase your proficiency with it unlocking new skills.]

"Oh... Okay. Got it." So there will be a lot of skills scattered throughout the world huh.

"Welp. Time to infiltrate the inside. Its payback time."
