[Uraa!]
I slash one of them nearby, but I can’t use my full strength since general and healer are nearby. Moreover, the defence from goblin knight’s equipment is high, I can’t defeat it.
It can’t be help, I have to attack general little by little. It is quite satisfy if their movement is worse than this. Goblin general is staggered a little and I use that open to get close to healer and is finally taken
[Eat this, healer!]
Since I gave up on healer’s status, I finish it. Because of the limit of space, I have to strike with all my strength. It might be overkill for the paper armor of the healer.
And then…
[Gyagyaaaaaaaa]
General stands in front of healer. Protect? It might think it can take this blow and recovered if healer still there. But this attack can’t be stopped anymore. That blow reduce goblin general’s HP to 0 from the status only I could see. General collapses. Skill column still has and but I can’t take them from corpse.
[Ehh~~~! No way~~~! General is dying~~~!]
I think it was something unexpected. General thought it could endure my blow and protect healer without knowing that I went easy on them. Since it thinks it can recover with heal if it doesn’t die (Well, healer doesn’t have anymore). And it was no good to shave its HP down beforehand either. When consider status difference, if its HP was full, it is possible to resist that blow.
The result, I can’t take any skill or status from general.
> Jin levels up.
Oh, level up.
[What’s wrong? Jin-kun?]
Sakura asks while she is evading a goblin’s attack.
[General has been killed by my mistake before I could take its skill.]
[Then…, what are you going to do in this case? Take them?]
Goblins become panic when they saw general was fallen. It seems when the user of and is down, bad status is returned.
[Nope. Let’s exterminate them.]
I vent my anger on the rest of the goblins and exterminate them without taking anything in exchange for experience point.
It doesn’t take much time to exterminate the rest of goblin. However, my mind is still not cleared up.
[Haa, no good.]
[It is alright. I’m sure you will get the chance to obtain them again.]
Yeah, you are right. But I still think my strategy was a mistake and I made a wrong decision in various ways…
> Power of life and death has became LV2.
> New ability has been released.
Skill and status from corpse whom was killed by owner of this ability can be taken. But it is impossible to give back to corpse. But it will be impossible if demon stone was removed.
[Wait a minute~~~!]
I unintentionally shouted. Timing is too perfect. Why does it become usable in a time like this? Oh, my level became 5 now. I guess the condition to unlock special power is level.
[What’s wrong? You suddenly made a loud voice.]
[ has leveled up, it lets me take abilities from corpses.]
[Congratulations! We can now take and level up at the same time now. Lastly, we can use ability difference to defeat them, shorten the time we need to fight.]
[You are right. Various things will get easier from this.]
I see, one of the hardship until now has been reduced… It is possible to take power from general.
I approaches the general corpse and start taking its ability. I was able to finish taking ability safely. So I take this opportunity to take from nearby goblins. When I take it from corpse, I can take all status and skill.
Of course, let’s collect the monster stones. Oh, general’s monster stone seems to sell at a considerably high price. If all monster stones were sold, we can finish all preparation to leave this village.
With this, the only one left in this forest is…
I confirm the position of the lone shaman with map and approach it.
Goblin shaman
LV5
It has some interesting skill that I haven’t seen until now. I approach it swiftly without use anti-magician tactic. My went up to LV7, I can move so quick at a level I couldn’t before. I don’t need to wait until all skill are taken, so I slash it right in half.
I took and from corpse and return to village.
