26 Finishing the Dungeon
"Kyaaa!"
The other goblins scream as they see their fallen teammate, they never expected a betrayal from one of them, with an enemy at the front and back each they were at a loss. Using their confusion Reign charges and cuts the neck of one of them, making him fall down immediately and struggle during his final moments.
The last remaining goblin tried attacking him but ended up getting hit on his ankle with a pickaxe, the pickaxe fractures the bones and makes him fall. Lifting it up high in the air the goblin ends his life and looked at Reign with stars in his eyes.
"Alright, alright you did good, do you have a name by the way?"
{The player can name his subordinates if he wishes to.}
"Alright, I'll call you Greenie cuz, well you're green."
"Ah!" The goblin seemingly understood Reign and started shouting out of joy.

"Another one huh, that can be useful, alright then Greenie, let's go and finish off the other goblins."
Greenie simply nods his head with a big smile and follows after Reign, he seems to have no issues killing his kin together with his master.
After a brief time, they arrived to where yet another patrol was, the amount of goblins there was 3, Greenie went to them right away, shouting at them and pointing at the place where the mining group was. With haste, the goblin run, only to find Reign with his sword out at the corner.
Slash
A swift slash cuts through the chest of one of them, making him fall backward on another goblin. The third goblin tried attacking Reign but before he could do so he gets stabbed right through the throat.
Greenie lifted up his pickaxe and smashed it down toward the fallen goblin multiple times, turning his head into mush.

"Alright, now only the final group with the hobgoblin remains, that one will be the hardest group to kill, 1 hobgoblin and 6 goblins together, I'll have to use everything I got huh?"
Reign complained to Greenie, but the little goblin found it odd, from the sound of his master's voice he complained, but his face said otherwise, a wide smile could be seen on it, Reign looked like he was happy that the final group was hard.
"I really have changed huh?"
Chuckling to himself Reign turned around and went toward the final group, ordering Greenie to hide when they arrived as he was far too weak to fight any of them.
"I guess I'll give you enough exp to level up when I kill them, I wonder what needs to happen for you to evolve though?"
Greenie listened to his master and suddenly exclaimed, turning back he ran to the corpses of the goblins.
"Huh, what are doing there Greenie?"
Amused by his reaction, Reign followed slowly after him, he saw that Greenie has taken a sword from one of the goblin's and is waving it around, much like how a newbie waved a sword when trying to practice.
"Hm, you mean you need weapons or you need to fight more?"
"Khm!" Greenie nodded seriously to his master, both of the options Reign asked were correct, that was what monsters do, fighting for their survival is what makes them evolve, the more they fight and win the more they can evolve, otherwise even if a goblin was lvl100 it would stand no chance against a mere lvl50 tiger, that was the harsh truth.
"Alright, I'll ask the blacksmith if he can forge some things for you when we get back, for now let's finish this dungeon."
Greenie just nodded in excitement and followed after Reign. Finally, after 5 minutes of walking, they arrive at where the final group was, the hobgoblin was sitting down on a rock and was lecturing the goblins about something. They were far away from any walls though, positioned in the center of the area it was impossible to use the attack from above tactic, Reign had to fight them on an even footing.
"Alright Greenie, remember to stay here and just watch, do not go inside to fight, you will die, ok?"
Reign firmly told Greenie, pronouncing the latter part of the sentence slowly, the same as you would to a little child. Greenie nodded seriously and sat down, just moving his head a bit to be able to see the fight that was about to start.
The hobgoblin's lecture was interrupted by a series of slow steps moving toward them, looking to the side the hobgoblin screamed in anger and got up. The human that had caused so much damage and trouble was there.
"Grrrr!" The goblins all growl at Reign, picking up their weapons they get ready to fight him.
"Not bad, it seems like you taught them something huh?" Reign nonchalantly said to the hobgoblin as he walked toward them with a smile. His sword was in his right hand while his left was clenched tightly in a fist. "Too bad that it doesn't matter."
The hobgoblin got behind the group, he had learned from the previous fight that charging mindlessly at the opponent was a sure way to get killed, so he decided to use some of his subordinates as cannon fodder for the fight.
{ Lighting movement activated }
Reign broke into a sprint, running straight toward the goblins he used his lightning on his sword and suddenly stopped, throwing the rank D Iron Sword in his hand with all his might, targeting the hobgoblin. Right afterward, he sprinted again and a dark red sword appeared in his hand.
The hobgoblin panicked, the sword Reign threw was incredibly fast but luckily for him, not accurate. Arriving in front of them, it penetrated a goblin on the left side of the group. Reign arrived at them right then and punched
Compact Punch
Using a fair amount of time to compress, Reign finally unleashed his skill, his fist moved incredibly fast and a loud boom could be heard before it even hit. Finally, hitting a goblin, its chest caved in completely and it was thrown back with fierce strength, hitting the hobgoblin in the back.
"Shit, that hurt."
Reign grimaced a bit, the strength of the punch was terrifying but so was the drawback, his hand felt awful, an agonizing pain was felt and his mana had drained by a fifth.
Ignoring the pain, he swung his sword around and slashed at the goblins. The goblins were in disarray, the tactics used by Reign weren't something they ever expected and 2 of them were dead as a result.
With the group like that, Reign had no issues killing them off, leaving 2 alive and calling over Greenie to finish them. Greenie came with a wide smile and promptly did so. Turning back Reign saw the hobgoblin getting back up, the hit it took was not light and it was already injured. Seeing his subordinates dead and a goblin helping the human, it went mad and attacked him.
"This shit again, when will guys learn?"
Reign dodges the attack with ease and leaves a deep cut on the hobgoblins side, he doesn't even flinch though, the berserk mode was truly terrifying when it came to that. Lunging again the hobgoblin tries to cut Reign in half but only finds his sword cutting through the air. That was the last thing he sees before Reign decapitates him.
