NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24
Chapter 24: Confronting the Goblin General!
A level 14 Goblin Priest with a warrior-grade attribute template.
Su Bai speculated that this Goblin Priest’s health points likely exceeded five hundred, possibly even reaching a thousand.
Even though spellcasters typically had weaker constitutions, the Goblin Priest had a warrior-grade attribute template. This template alone would boost its health points to be on par with a Goblin Centurion.
In a typical game, even using Shadow Assault, Su Bai wouldn’t be able to one-shot the Goblin Priest or even the previous Goblin Centurions.
But this wasn’t a typical game.
A world based on a game meant extraordinary freedom.
Critical hits, instant kills, these were all real possibilities.
With claws sharp enough to tear steel, the attack bonus from Shadow Assault, and Su Bai’s precision in targeting the enemy’s heart, neck, and head — vulnerable spots — these factors combined to allow Su Bai to one-shot both the Goblin Centurions and the Goblin Priest.
Gaining a warrior-grade attribute template delighted Su Bai, but enraged Gorg.
“￥#@!”
“Earth Splitting Slash!”
With a furious roar, Gorg raised his long-handled broadsword high and slashed down.
A wide arc of blade light erupted from the broadsword, enveloping several meters around Su Bai.
Having just killed the Goblin Priest and still mid-air, Su Bai couldn’t dodge and was struck. The immense force sent him flying like he was hit by a train.
He tumbled over ten meters before crashing to the ground.
【Status】: Health 389, Mana 250
Taking Gorg’s full-force strike head-on, Su Bai lost 111 health points.
This was even with his passive skill 【Tough Carapace】, which reduced a significant amount of damage. Despite this, the shell on his back where he was struck cracked.
Without 【Tough Carapace】, that single blow might have cost him most of his health, leaving him seriously injured.
But now…
Trading a bit over a hundred health points for a warrior-grade attribute template and eliminating an enemy healer was totally worth it!
Su Bai had the passive skill 【Regrowth】!
Losing some health was nothing — he could recover from even limb loss through ample feeding.
Having tested Gorg’s power by taking his full-force strike, Su Bai remained calm. He knew he had this in the bag!
He had a large supply of Goblins as food to continuously heal his injuries.
Gorg, on the other hand, could only endure Su Bai’s repeated ambushes, eventually losing all his subordinates and dying himself.
With a sneer, Su Bai sped up, quickly darting out of the clearing and vanishing into the forest.
“Chief, the Black Demon fled!”
“The Black Demon was injured, the Chief drove it away!”
“Now it won’t dare come back, right?”
After Su Bai disappeared, the last Goblin Centurion and ten Goblin Guards gathered excitedly.
“Black Demon? Hmph! Just a coward!”
“If it dares appear again, I’ll tear it to pieces!”
Having finally wounded Su Bai, Gorg was elated and agreed with his subordinates.
Previously, whenever they encountered strong monsters, once defeated, those monsters never returned to Goblin City.
Even if they reappeared, they only dared to snatch a few ordinary Goblins from afar, never stepping foot into Goblin City again. Gorg didn’t care about losing a few ordinary Goblins.
Unfortunately…
Just a few minutes later, Su Bai had completely healed.
He stealthily approached the clearing again, and when the last Goblin Centurion was only a few meters away, he struck again!
“Shadow Assault!”
Unsurprisingly, the last Goblin Centurion became Su Bai’s experience points.
“Bastard!
“How dare you show up again?!”
Just as Gorg relaxed and planned to train more Goblin Centurions and Guards, Su Bai bit off his last subordinate’s head, killing him instantly.
“Savage Charge!”
Gorg’s massive body became a blur, instantly appearing before Su Bai and sending him flying.
Then, raising his long-handled broadsword high, he slashed down again!
“Earth Splitting Slash!”
A wide arc of blade light blasted Su Bai away.
However, this time, upon landing, Su Bai didn’t immediately flee. Instead, he charged into the Goblin Guards, slashing his claws and harvesting their lives.
[Ding! You killed a Goblin Guard, gaining 300 experience points.]
[Ding! You killed a Goblin Guard, gaining 300 experience points.]
In an instant, half of the ten Goblin Guards fell under Su Bai’s attacks.
After the remaining Goblin Guards fled, Su Bai changed direction, charging at Gorg.
In terms of strength and constitution, Su Bai was inferior to Gorg.
With the lord-grade attribute template, Gorg’s health was surely far higher than Su Bai’s.
But Su Bai’s agility was superior to Gorg’s.
As long as he wasn’t airborne or locked by the Savage Charge skill, and without other Goblins hindering him, Su Bai could dodge most of Gorg’s attacks.
With various powerful passive skills, Su Bai could trade blows and wear Gorg down!
Engaging head-on!
Stealth, heal, continue fighting!
When the first Goblin Centurion was killed, Gorg’s fate was sealed.
The novice village’s big boss was destined to fall to Su Bai’s claws!
