Chapter 40 - 40: 040 Goblin Lord
Goblin Forest, Goblin Tribe.
“Doggy Two, attack!”
Upon Dean McKenzie’s order, Doggy Two, bearing the Bone Shield, headed straight for the impressive Goblin Spearman.
Sensing danger, the Spearman raised his hand and tossed another spear. Another Penetration Strike, coupled with level 2 Goblin Throw and the 8-Attack-Point-boosting wooden pole, empowered the spear with power exceeding 20, but it availed nothing.
The 10-point penetration couldn’t do much against Doggy Two’s high defense of over seventy points, allowing the spear to once again get stuck on his Bone Shield.
When the Spearman realized the danger after his ineffective strike, it was already too late. Doggy Two had already rushed forward and was right in front of him.
A single sword swipe, and the Goblin Spearman’s arm was chopped off.
A swift kick worsened the injury, then Doggy Two skillfully dragged it away. McKenzie threw it into the Land of Bone out of Bell Bella’s sight.
just as McKenzie captured the Goblin Spearman, another large Goblin wielding a huge Wolf Tooth Club, rushed menacingly towards him!
McKenzie naturally had not forgotten about this boss.
As it was rushing in, McKenzie quickly threw an Appraisal Skill at it.
[You’ve successfully used the Appraisal Skill to obtain Goblin Lord’s attributes!]
Name: Goblin Lord (Elite)
Level: 15
Attributes:
Strength: 13 (5), Agility: 4, Physique: 6 (10)
Attack: 13 (10)
Defense: 8 (8)
Skills: Surge (Level 2), Ferocious Strike (Level 2), Morale Boost (Level 1) Equipment: Goblin Fine Leather Armor (Black Iron), Goblin Lord’s Wrath (Black Iron)
A level 15, with three skills!
Equipped with two pieces of Black Iron level equipment.
Such attributes could be called gorgeous.
Frightened, McKenzie rushed to cast a skill against it.
[You’ve successfully used the Slow Curse on Goblin Lord. Its movement speed
is reduced by 10% for 3 seconds!]
It was the first time McKenzie was using this level-10 new skill.
How was the effect? You may ask.
Quite ordinary!
At least, McKenzie didn’t see any noticeable decline in the Goblin Lord’s speed. As McKenzie released the curse, the Goblin Lord had already approached within 7 meters of Doggy Two.
The Lord’s level 2 Surge Skill was instantly activated, causing an explosive increase in its speed and bringing it right in front of Doggy Two in the blink of an eye.
After the club shone brightly, it swung down viciously towards Doggy Two.
“Smack!”
This attack, combined with the Lord’s high basic strength of 18 points and the explosive power unleashed by two skills, was terrifying.
Taking the hit, Doggy Two’s Bone Shield shattered instantly. Thankfully, McKenzie provided Doggy Two with another Bone Shield in time, or else Doggy Two might have been blown apart.
Once the second shield resisted the first extreme attack from the Goblin Lord, the battle was practically over.
Doggy Two’s Pupil Fire flickered.
The Bone King exploded in an instant, the Goblin Lord was thrown into a second of chaos.
A second might seem brief, but it was enough, especially at this critical moment, to end the Goblin Lord s life.
Seizing the opportunity, Doggy Two lunged forward, his heavy sword swung towards the Goblin Lord.
Doggy Two’s strike might have been a bit less powerful than the Goblin Lord’s skill burst, but this Goblin Lord did not have the Bone Shield.
Moreover, under Dean McKenzie’s command, Doggy Two was aiming straight for the opponent’s head.
By the time the Goblin Lord broke free from a second of confusion, Doggy Two’s sword had already landed on his head.
“Splat!”
A green head was smashed to pieces, and at the same time, the system prompt started to refresh rapidly.
[You successfully slayed [Goblin Lord], you earned 500 Experience Points!] [Your level has risen to Level 11, your Spiritual Power has increased by 1 point, reaching 16.2, your Mana limit has increased to 162 points!]

[You used Talent Extraction on the Goblin Lord, you obtained a [Low-level Lord Template Shard], and gained 1 point of strength!]
Meanwhile, with the death of the Goblin Lord.
The morale of the goblins in the tribe, who were previously fearless of death, instantly collapsed.
The entire tribe started to disintegrate.
The goblins that were surrounding Bell Bella also began to flee.
And Bell Bella who had been surrounded and besieged for a long time, was now chasing and killing these goblins with her hammer.
In coordination with Bell Bella, Dean McKenzie spent half an hour clearing out the Goblin Tribe.
When all the goblins in the Goblin Tribe were either killed or had fled, the entire Goblin Tribe was left only with Dean McKenzie and Bell Bella, making the atmosphere instantly awkward.
To be precise, Bell Bella felt a bit awkward.
Especially when Dean McKenzie approached her with a smile on his face to greet her.
“Boss, thanks to you for leading me, otherwise I wouldn’t have had the chance to take down this tribe!”
As soon as Dean McKenzie said this,
Bell Bella thought of her embarrassing performance just then, and her face instantly turned red!
She was so awkward it felt like she was locked in a three-room apartment with him.
‘Why did you save me,
Why didn’t you let me die amongst the goblins!’ At this moment, Bell Bella felt like Dean McKenzie’s gaze was filled with mockery.
She couldn’t help but itch to smash Dean McKenzie with her hammer, but he had just saved her, and she had no reason to attack him, making her feel extremely frustrated.
“Boss…”
“Don’t call me boss, you’re the boss, your whole family is…
Bell Bella interrupted Dean McKenzie’s words aggressively, her head lifting to meet his eyes.
As their eyes met, Bell Bella’s anger instantly quieted down. Because the man in front of her had strangely clear eyes that didn’t seem to be mocking her at all, and he was currently piling up a lot of glowing points in front of him and excitedly calling her over, “Boss, come over, let’s divide the loot, boss!”
Seeing Dean McKenzie in front of her, Bell Bella fell silent for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, “I came here, not for the spoils of war, but to hone my combat skills.
I was careless this time!
If it wasn’t for you, I might have been done for in there.
This lesson is the biggest gain for me!
Leave all these things to you!”
After saying this, Bell Bella turned around, her heart bleeding, and ran away without looking back.
No matter how stunned Dean McKenzie was and how loudly he called after her, This was her last shred of dignity.
While running, tears began to stream down Bella s face.
All the spoils of war on the ground were left behind, oh my goddamn, useless vanity!
