Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

The Sunset Forest, which I haven't visited for many days, remains unchanged.

Towering trees stand tall, and sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, falling softly and warmly upon you.

Stepping on the damp soil covered with fallen leaves, each step brings a unique fragrance of plants.

This was Luke's third day in the forest.

Although we've ventured deeper, we're still on the outskirts of the forest.

Along the way, apart from a few frightened wild animals, they did not encounter any danger.

The trap-setting techniques I had just learned from Tina were not put to use.

After continuing to travel according to the map for two hours, Luke finally arrived at his destination.

Perhaps because there are a lot of goblin settlements, these guys are eating quite well.

Several large cauldrons were set up outside the cave.

Hanging nearby were dead moose and ibex, as well as two naked, unfortunate human figures.

Luke observed from a distance and did not approach directly.

Instead, they focused on the cave and carefully observed the surroundings.

His 7-point perception attribute makes him resemble a seasoned hunter.

After confirming that there were no other dangerous creature footprints on the surrounding ground.

Luke then gripped the steel half-sword and stepped into the cave.

The familiar musty smell filled the filthy passageway. Judging from the size of the cave, it was unlikely to be able to hide anything like cannibals.

With a 120-foot radius of darkness, no creature in the cave can hide.

Luke quickly counted them; there were about 36 goblins inside.

Ten of them were probably juveniles, and their size was noticeably smaller than the other goblins.

These goblins also discovered the uninvited guests who had inexplicably intruded.

Their tiny brains don't think about why the other party dares to barge in alone.

In their greedy eyes, this was nothing more than a delicious meal that had been delivered to their doorstep.

"puff!"

The sharp hand-and-half sword easily pierced the chest of one of the goblins that charged forward first.

The combat skill [Crimson Rampage], which I had mastered for many days but never had the chance to use, finally lit up on the panel.

Luke did not hesitate and immediately launched the attack.

His figure suddenly accelerated, becoming much faster than when he had the agility attribute of a goblin.

Like a catapult, it appeared in front of the second goblin in the blink of an eye.

The sword flashed with a cold light, and the second goblin's head fell to the ground in an instant.

The description of the combat skill [Crimson Rampage] states that the number of uses has been changed to 2/3.

Luke was savoring the wonderful feeling he had just experienced.

When the muscles are in a stiff state after an attack, activating [Crimson Rampage] can create support out of thin air for the body.

Like a cheetah sprinting at full speed, it turned back without pausing.

Before Luke could think for long, the goblins had already surrounded him.

Despite their overwhelming numbers, they did not show much fear when they saw two of their companions die instantly.

Luca did not continue to activate [Crimson Rampage], but instead tried another ability.

The image of Yenogu's Fang appeared in my mind, and [Imagination Manifestation] was successfully activated.

"Aww~"

Luke's expression was somewhat strange.

Compared to the melodious and eerie howls of the gnolls blessed by the demon lord, his shout was rather comical.

This is the power gained after empowering the projection of Yenogu's Fang, and it was also the terrifying roar that almost wiped out Luke's team.

Like all abilities except Ash Lord, it can only be activated once a day.

However, Luke's roar was not very effective.

The goblins stood there bewildered for less than two seconds before regaining their senses.

However, in battle, two seconds can often determine the course of the battle.

The steel longsword pierced through the fragile bodies of several green-skinned dwarves in the blink of an eye.

Unlike before, when he would only use the "Gluttony Slash" to swing his axe at full power against the target, Luke began to use swordsmanship to conserve his stamina.

He would occasionally raise his arm shield to block the goblin's clubs or stones thrown from afar.

Faced with this group of low-level monsters who were powerless to fight back, Luca was like a god unleashed.

They darted and weaved through the goblin horde like butterflies flitting among flowers.

He would occasionally thrust out his longsword, taking one or two lives.

The gloom brought on by learning how to spot and dodge was swept away with the constant killing.

Luke seems to have found a unique way to de-stress.

The remaining goblins' cries changed from anger to terror, and then to complete silence.

This commissioned hunt has come to an end.

A total of 36 goblins, including the 10 juveniles, were indiscriminately eliminated by Luca.

They put all the prey's left ears into a bag and also found some loose coins worth over ten gold coins in the cave.

This trip was quite fruitful.

Luke was in high spirits. After wiping the blood off his half-sword, he turned and walked along the passageway out of the cave.

He stopped when he was near the cave entrance.

If his memory is not impaired, the ground he just carefully explored...

Aside from the goblin's footprints, there should only be traces of myself walking in.

But now, he saw several human footprints that clearly did not belong to him!

...

Jorsen has been having a lot of luck lately.

The arrival of many new adventurers in Twilight Town allowed him to make a fortune.

Compared to hunting monsters, ambushing these inexperienced newbies is much less risky.

If the other party happens to complete the task, he can directly intercept it and earn extra income.

As long as you do your job cleanly in the forest and leave no evidence, the town's sheriff won't interfere.

Of course, he has never made a mistake in this line of work for many years.

Besides his tracking combat skills that allow him to keep up with his prey, detailed background investigations are what Jorson excels at.

The objective of this mission was also chosen after careful investigation.

He's from out of town and just registered as an adventurer less than a month ago.

I don't have many friends, nor do I have much influence.

He seemed to have joined a team with professionals a while ago, but the team left without taking him with them.

Looking at the target's fair and delicate appearance, and hearing that he was recruited by a woman, he realized that he was the target of her recruitment.

The cause and effect are then quite obvious.

He managed to get close to a professional adventurer through his charm, but somehow he displeased the adventurer and was kicked out after only a few days.

That brand-new, high-quality equipment was probably the reward for nights of "effort".

It looks like it might be worth a hundred gold coins, so it wouldn't be a waste of two days of searching in the forest.

As for why Johnson was so certain that the other person was a novice.

He had never heard of any professional spending all their time in training, learning the most basic weapon handling skills.

Moreover, the commissions they accepted were the lowest-level goblin extermination orders.

If I hadn't just approached the cave entrance and heard the goblins screaming inside, I would have been fine.

He even thought that the other party might be ruined by overconfidence.

Seeing the target appear, Jorsen nocked the Ironhead Arrow onto the bowstring.

"They do have some ability."

He didn't take it too seriously; goblins weren't some powerful monsters.

Moreover, in this line of work, the most important thing is to eliminate everyone without hesitation.

If he were to let his prey escape, it would be quite a problem for him.

So, how can we do without a team?
