Chapter 279: Rolling Along
“Why. Are. These. Guys. So. Tough?!” Teilon panted as he slashed the throat of another goblin. The strike to the throat wasn’t itself enough to kill it, but it had suffered enough damage already that it became a fatal strike regardless.
The goblin collapsed to the ground with numerous wounds across its body. Teilon and Kimberly both stood over it, catching their breath. All around the Party, dead goblins in various states lay. Despite all of them being covered in wounds, there wasn’t that much blood pooled on the ground.
“These are naturally evolved creatures,” Refix answered. He stood next to the pair, keeping an eye out for any more goblins coming there way.

“As opposed to Dungeon monsters,” Refix said. “You and I gained our Levels and experience fighting Dungeon monsters. Those guys are created by the Dungeons, so they’re not naturally evolved.”
“Ok, I get that, but what does it mean?”
