《Soul Summoner in Isekai (LitRPG & System)》29. Back to town
Advertisement
The hatchet goblin knew he wasn't going the wrong way when he killed an impostor.
It followed the traces on the grass and continued to track.
When it ran to a place, it suddenly felt that something was wrong, and its footsteps slowed down involuntarily.
Two mung bean-sized eyes kept rolling, observing the surrounding situation.
The hatchet was raised in front of him, ready to attack at any time.
"This guy is so vigilant!"
Anno, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and couldn't help sighing.
The hatchet goblin should not have noticed Anno's ambush, but he could sense the danger and enter a state of alert.
"As expected of a goblin above level 5!"
Anno admitted that he was under a lot of pressure.
This is a feeling that he has never had before in the face of large slimes.
Tightening the shield and dagger in his hand, Anno waited quietly.
When the hatchet goblin walked to the center of the ambush, the three summoned goblins hidden behind the trees rushed out at the same time, raised their weapons and attacked the hatchet goblin' head, heart and other vital points!
"Wow!"
The hatchet goblin shouted. Instead of retreating, he advanced.
With a light flick of the hatchet in his hand, he separated the stabbed spear.
Then the hatchet crossed a long line in the air, knocking out the other two weapons that summoned goblins.
Without Anno's manipulation, the fighting style of summoned goblins was as rough as it was in life.
One of them summoned a goblin, and after the weapon was knocked flying, he was stunned for a while.
Then it was caught by the hatchet goblin.
Under the continuous heavy slash of the short axe, it turned into light and dissipated.
In a three-on-one confrontation, Anno's side lost a fighting force instead.
"This is too strong!"
Anno, who had been hiding in the dark, swallowed.
He felt that even if he went up by himself, he would not dare to take the attack of the hatchet goblin.
This axe goes down, if you can't dodge it, you will be disabled if you don't die!

Originally, Anno planned to take advantage of the number of people to besiege the hatchet goblin.
It now appears that this idea has failed.
Anno took out the goblin claws and left ear from the package, used the last ten points of magic power to summon a goblin again, and joined the battle after a circle.
The reason for the detour was that the hatchet goblin would find out where Anno was hiding.
However, even if the number is replenished, the battle is still the advantage of the hatchet goblin.
Level 5 summoned goblins are no match for hatchet goblin at all, and their HP drops steadily!
Within two minutes of the battle, a summoned goblin fell!
"Oh my god, this gap is too big!"
Anno hid in hiding, not daring to breathe.
When summoned monsters, they can only appear at a distance of about ten meters near Anno.
He is far away from the battle site. If the summoned object is recalled when it is fatally attacked, it will not be able to approach the battlefield when it is summoned again.
On the contrary, they may reveal their position.
Therefore, at this time, Anno could not deal with the hatchet goblin by using the method of summoned monsters to attack instantly, like dealing with large slimes.
The hatchet goblin looked at the goblin under his feet that turned into light and dissipated, and a smile opened at the corner of his mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
"Go to hell!"
The hatchet goblin roared in the language of the demons.
The skill [Charged Strike] splits a summoned goblin in half without the slightest accident.
At the same time, the summoned goblin, who had been hiding on a branch and bent an arrow, finally found an opportunity. After the hatchet goblin used his skills, he quickly shot the first arrow!
This summon is controlled by Anno and is always looking for opportunities.
Now.
Here's his chance!
Arrowheads made of steel ripped through the air and shot towards the back of the hatchet goblin.
There was only a straight-line distance of less than twenty meters between the two sides, and the bow and arrow crossed the distance in the blink of an eye and hit the target.

However, Anno aimed at the torso with the highest hit rate, but it was the thigh of the hatchet goblin...
The arrow sank into the hatchet goblin's thigh, causing it to scream in pain.
Although the first arrow did not achieve the expected effect, it finally hit the target.
Seeing that the hatchet goblin was injured, Anno immediately controlled the summoned object to shoot the second and third arrows.
At the same time, let the remaining two summon goblins next to the hatchet goblin take the opportunity to attack.
He thought that after the hatchet goblin was injured, his mobility would be reduced.
Unexpectedly, the arrows behind did not injure the hatchet goblin at all.
Not missed.
But the hatchet goblin noticed the location of the summoned goblin after the first arrow was hit.
It blocked all the arrows it shot with its axe!
As for the attacks of the other two summoned goblins, they were all dodged by the hatchet goblin.
"Good game!"
After the last arrow was fired, the hatchet goblin didn't add any more injuries. Anno was disappointed.
Without the bow and arrow, the hatchet goblin were completely pressing down on two summoned goblins.
Anno immediately manipulated the summoned goblins to jump off the trees, fleeing in the distance, and deliberately left a clear trace on the grass.
He himself was lying in the grass, motionless.
The two summoned goblins dragged on for about a minute and a half, and then both turned into white light and dissipated.
After the hatchet goblin killed the last fake goblin, seeing that no new fake goblins appeared, he was about to pull out the arrow in his thigh.
The arrow penetrated the meat about three centimeters.
But after the hatchet goblin drew the arrow, his expression did not change.
It ripped off a piece of the rag he was wearing, covered the wound, and revealed an angry look.
Until now, he has not even seen the real enemy.
"I have to catch up with those human women. This is a tribute to the king!"
The hatchet goblin picked up the weapon on the ground, looked around for a while, and then chased in the direction the archer goblin left.
Five minutes after it left, Anno, who was controlling the archer goblin to escape, saw the hatchet goblin who was about to catch up.
At this time, Anno immediately got up from the grass and ran away in the other direction with the package on his back.
He didn't run far, and the summoned goblin, who was distracted by the hatchet goblin, was hit by the throwing axe thrown by the former, and fell to the ground with serious injuries.
Seeing that the hatchet goblin was about to kill the summoned goblin, Anno hurriedly called back the summoned goblin who had only half his life left.
The hatchet goblin looked at the goblin disappearing in front of him, and was puzzled at first, then an angry roar spread around.
No way, Anno can only use tactics to keep the opponent away
The traces left by the girls were destroyed by the archer goblins when the hatchet goblin were dragged.
After the archer goblin shot the last arrow, Anno gave it the task of seducing the hatchet goblin.
And the hatchet goblin, as Anno thought, was fooled!
"Crisis lifted!"
Anno breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the seriously injured goblin being recalled.
Then he followed the mark he had left on the tree and made a quick shuttle through the forest.
Soon he caught up with the girls who were fleeing.
After running for about ten minutes with the girls, Anno and the others finally left the Forbidden Forest!
When the last touch of the sunset fell, Brook, who was guarding the gate of Gruul Town, saw several figures walking slowly.

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.
