Let's get started with my great plan.

Firstly I need a diversion! I will use [Sonic Boom] at maximum power on the Hobgoblin, hoping the shred power makes a cut on him.

“Uso. You attack the goblin. I will fight the hobgoblin while you do that. Okay?”

“Got it!” She saluted. Why. Why did she salute? Well…whatever. (￣^￣)ゞ

“Attack on my sign.” I prepared my [Sonic Boom] and shot it and then yelled “THIS IS THE SIGN!!”

“Yes ,master! I’m sorry!” Why the hell are you yelling out you’re sorry!?

Fuck I got distracted. My throat hurts but it will regenerate after I eat the Hobgoblin. Let’s go!

Come over here you dumb hobgoblin. Look at me! I’m a rat!

Heh. Noticed me? Good. Now, I ask you. Do you want to die? No? Okay…dying it is then.

“Heh. A rat? Only a small cut. You’re dead.”

You’re lucky I can’t speak properly now or you would’ve died just by me speaking to you.

“Come.” Don’t say it so calmly. You’re going to regret it.

The hobgoblin just stood there waiting for me to attack. He didn’t know that I already put the poisonous paste onto my fangs. Now I need to attack the place he was cut. Easy. Normally I would use [Sonic Boom] to launch myself over to him but…I’m hurt. I can’t overexert myself!

Let’s do it the traditional way. Running up to him like a true rat! Fufufu...

“Dumb rat.” *humpf* he dares to call me dumb. Let me say this but I have higher intelligence than you! Only Ro has higher intelligence than me!

He isn’t even bothering to defend. This is your end. I jumped and bit into the small cut. Now! [Withering] max power go!

“What is this? My arm, no! What did you do! Why…numbness is spreading. No! It can’t go close to the heart!” heh. Die!

The die is cast. It’s your loss hobgoblin. The poison has entered your blood. Due to [Withering] it has been sped up and now it’s circulating in your whole body.

“Your next line is: I can’t die by a lowly rat!” heh.

“I can’t die by a—what!?”

“You lost.” I said while sacrificing my health for more power. (⌐■_■)

My health fell below 40% and the hobgoblin collapsed. His heart has stopped beating. This was easier than I thought.

[You leveled up!]

This…I sure haven’t seen this in a while.

*grumble*

I need to eat….

I started eating the hobgoblin while watching the fight between Uso and the goblin.

Uso was sending a barrage of punches each second while the goblin was blocking almost every single punch. She looks like a certain character from a popular Japanese franchise.

It looks like she has the upper hand but the goblin is pretty good at blocking. His offensive power is weak. Too weak. He’s like a dumbass that only maxed out one of his stats in an RPG.

This fight it over. “Kill him.” I said with a smirk.

“Yes master-su! Aiya!!” She sent out one last punch that directly crushed the skull of the goblin.

I was right when I said that she has potential. But I didn’t mean this kind of potential. More like…diplomatic potential.

This fight…is over.

…Back at base camp.

I was eating the hobgoblin while Ro was teaching me the last spell…it is called [Infested Invasion]. Basically. I can go into the minds of people. There’s a restriction however. I can only enter the minds of people that have lower wisdom than mine.

After I learned the formula of the spell I had no need of Ro so I went to a hidden place and ate him. He also had a demonic crystal in his body so I ate it. I figured that if he was a corrupted type goblin that his energy will benefit me. I was right it did benefit my growth.

[HP increased by 10]

[MP increased by 10]

[Corrupted essence gained 1/3] [You are missing 2 Corrupted essence to gain a new spell in your spell book]

Now that I think about it. I haven’t heard anything from the voice lately. Don’t even need the voice anymore when I have [Appraisal]. Fufufu. Such a rare skill truly is the best.
