Chapter 202: [Weekly Bonus - 2/2] Scorching Rain
A loud explosion shook the forest. The size of the blast told what kind of havoc had consumed the goblins within.
"Kee—"
"Keekee!"
"Keee! Human monster! Run!"
The journey to the next settlement was quicker than expected and more interesting. Instead of goblins, the trio had found a settlement housing hobgoblins, and there were quite a lot of them.
Since hobgoblins were the next stage in the evolution of goblins, they were capable of interspecies communication. It was fun to see them howl, claiming Sophia was a monster, but being called such by a literal monster only angered her more, prompting her to cause more chaos.
’Giving her the Shaman’s staff was a good idea,’ Adrian thought, watching them from a distance. ’Not only does it reduce the charging time for her spells, it also amplifies it. A perfect item for her.’
While Amelia and Sophia dealt with the hobgoblins, Adrian left to deal with the next sentinel, who was probably a shaman, like before. Why, you ask?
Because they had killed the mutant goblins required to complete the task, Adrian wasn’t gaining any experience from killing them. Hence, he decided not to waste time and looked for stronger creatures to kill.
’Thanks to that Jung guy, I couldn’t absorb the Shaman or get any organs from it. Hopefully, I’ll find something better here...’
However, there weren’t any strong monsters like he had thought. The place was filled with hobgoblins but no special class goblins.
