Chapter 457: Black Mage's Cliché 2
Though all monsters on floor 60 were enhanced and mutated, the suicide goblins were clearly the biggest headache.
They hurled stones from centaur backs that could shatter steel helmets, then when approached, clung with their long arms and exploded without hesitation. The explosion damage was so severe that multiple goblins could shatter even a 5★ Saint Candidate's secondary barrier.
Because of this, both Imperial trainee commanders pioneering floor 60 and mercenaries playing soldier for money looked grim. After all, northern monster waves might swarm from sky and ground but at least they didn't explode themselves.
And while viewers argued mere stone throws weren't scary, others donated videos showing real slings shattering helmets and skulls.
"Everyone seems to be struggling."
"Still, they've managed to establish outposts, so they must be able to endure somehow."
Viewers gradually began understanding these long-armed goblins were unexpectedly terrifying enemies.
Though lacking mana, their abnormally modified arms made their throws threatening. Combined with their Dragon Ball Saibaman[1]-like suicide attacks, even veteran mercenaries looked ragged.
Whether intermediate or high-ranked, all were covered in dirt and soot, faces grimacing with constant cursing, creating such a gloomy atmosphere that no one could dismiss them as mere goblins anymore.
