Todays the day to fight the goblins though I shouldn't pay to much worry this armor and Tyrhrung they shouldn't be able to damage me. "Tyrhrung turn into a sword and let's start the goblin hunt " "Ai!" I temporally store her in storage I pick up some explosive magic tools and started preparing to walk into the main room that has all the goblins. I have to make sure I check out the situation before I attack. I sneak through the door as a goblin goes in side while being in my slime form and flattening myself as much as I can making sure that I'm not noticed. I see thirty goblins sleeping and the others on watch or just indulging themselves in food and drink probably from some small peddler with this number of goblins there is already a subjugation notice from the guild so I should finish quickly. As I watch the situation I see a goblin that is 1.5 bigger than the others and cover in thick muscle and armor that seems to be the leader. "Shit a red goblin berserker" I spat unconsciously Goblins are extremely weak the only reason they have survived in this world is their reproductive power. They can breed with anything that has a womb, have an incubation period of 1 month and grow up in under 10 days. When they breed with other creatures the off-spring gets some of the features and strengths. They don't have women in their most basic forms but as they rank up and have more variations they have a chance to give birth to females which have magical power and intelligence. Having the females give birth allow quick expansion and they can have babies with more evolution destinations. These women will be deftly enough to make equipment and smart enough to make traps and control hordes in actual warfare making them difficult to deal with if they have large numbers as they will act as if they were an army. Knowing that the conditions to become a red goblin berserker are to be a "pure" goblin, and have a certain amount of strength. This means that these goblins are moving to this place from somewhere else. A horde that has a large enough amount of goblins to kick out a red berserker is a problem. This means a goblin stampede will occur. Though this happens enough to be called a 100 year cycle normally only goblin warriors are kicked out and at worst a goblin soldier or two. This will be a huge problem later I should report to an adventurers guild relatively soon...Even though they won't believe me being a slime and all. Hmm let's focus on what is before me for now and get stronger and evolve so people will take me seriously, similar to how Fenrir is now respected and feared by humans even though he is a monster. He regularly walks around town in his human form and buys rare food and doesn't attack people due to a peace treaty he signed. I sneak up behind the red goblin berserker pull out Tyrhrung stand up in full -- and swing down at full strength with both enhancement of mana and Qi as well as having perfect form and hit. ...Or I wished to say but because the differences in status he managed to react and dodges last second but not completely and receives a slash that cuts one of his arms. He turns around and looks at me full of blood lust and murder and growls at me. I take the chance and toss all the explosive magic tools in every direction and activate as soon as they are out side the range in which they will damage me. BBBBWWWwwwooooommmm After the dust clears away the only thing standing is a red goblin berserker holding a dead goblin he used a shield, all the other goblins are nothing but ashes. He dropped it and roared at me and immediately dashed at me at the same time drawing his sword. SWISSSH I instantly rolled left. He moved fast enough where I couldn't catch it with my eyes but I have enough experience to guess how and where he will swing and I take evasive maneuvers and dodge with not even a centimeter between me and his blade. After dodging for 30 seconds I notice the arm I slashed earlier bleeding and having trouble keeping up with his other arm. For a instant I see a gap after his horizontal swing, I would not miss a gap this big and step forward after the swing, trusting Tyrhrung right into his heart. ...Or not once again last second he attempts to dodge and makes me miss his heart but I hit his shoulder completely disabling his arm I slashed earlier. "It seems I under estimated the status gap" I bring up Tyrhrung face forward slightly crouch ready to pounce at the moment. Instead of murder being faced I start being faced with respect. The goblin bring up his sword as he would If I were an honorable warrior would in a duel and covers hi body in mana crouches and dashes forward. In the same instant I maximize the enhancements, activate all the fairy marks and dash forward and a few meters forward I stand. Thump I was the only one standing. Then I collapse onto my hands and knees. Then reality hits me all sound returns time moves forward and I here "Onii-chan are you okay!? Hey Onii-chan respond to me! Please Onii-chan" "Yes I am fine can you return to human form and bring the dungeon core to me, please." "Onii-chan that was really dangerous! You could have died! Why didn't you run away after the surprise attack failed !?" "Sorry, forgive me. But to be fair he really wasn't going to just let me run" I here a couple of pitter pats and I roll over to see Tyrhrung look at me pouting and having an aura of anger. At the same time I touch my face and feel a huge smile. "Here, Onii-chan we will continue after you absorb this dungeon core." "Thank you Tyrhrung" I breath in and then take the core in to my body. and immeadittly Feel a burning sensation cover my entire body and I hear Ding reached maximum level ready to evolve ingested dungeon core all status growth rate increased gained title -those who defy the odds- gained title -battle mania- gained title -brave hunter- gained title -devil hunter- gained title -dungeon conqueror- gained title -???- various skill gained various skills leveled up For now I'll eat all the corpses then I'll evolve.
