The adventurer at the bottom is fantasizing again.

"roar!--"

The bear goblin charged toward Piper with its powerful strides, wielding its massive club studded with iron nails with tremendous force.

Based on its limited intelligence, smaller creatures are naturally easier to deal with. So it would definitely deal with this short man first, and then slowly deal with these two humans who came looking for death.

Hehe, today is a really good day, food is even being delivered to my door.

As it thought about it, some sticky saliva dripped from its mouth.

"Scatter, everyone! Piper and I will block it head-on. Eileen, watch out!"

Lorraine quickly finished setting up and was just about to raise his shield to charge when a figure rushed out even faster than him.

"Come on! You rotten dung bucket with legs, how dare you call me short-skinned? Do you think I'm easy to bully?!"

Piper charged toward the goblin with frenzied abandon, showing no fear whatsoever.

He quickly approached the goblin, easily dodging the swinging club by taking advantage of his height disadvantage, and a faint red light surged from the warhammer in his hand.

"Strike hard!" he shouted.

The warhammer, enhanced with combat skills, struck the bear goblin's calf hard, and with a loud "bang," its calf was cleanly and neatly severed in two.

"Aww!"

The bear goblin howled and stumbled forward, barely managing to keep from falling flat on its face by supporting itself with its club.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

Lorraine seized the opportunity, channeled her energy, and cast a spell on its broken leg.

Lorraine's Lightning Pull

A flash of electricity streaked across the sky, connecting him to the goblin bear.

Because of its enormous size, the bear goblin wasn't pulled directly towards him, but its lower legs were pulled so that they pointed towards Lorraine, almost forming an L-shape.

The spell caused the broken bones to tear the flesh apart again, and intense pain shot through its calf.

However, as the most aggressive of the goblin-like creatures, this only fueled its ferocity.

"mean!"

It let out a low growl and actually abandoned its defense, swinging its club directly at Lorraine in mid-air.

The strong muscles brought not only power, but also speed that far exceeded that of ordinary people. The club was swung by it, making a series of "whooshing" sounds.

Lorraine was startled. The downsides of the lightning pull were now fully apparent; it restricted the enemy while also restricting himself.

Fortunately, he still has many methods to forcibly break the connection.

He quickly activated the Midnight Touch on his feet, transforming into a shadow and appearing behind the bear goblin.

"Slash!"

Before the goblin could retract its weapon, Lorraine swiftly unleashed her combat skill, slashing three bloody gashes across its back.

at the same time.

"Bala Astra!"

Eileen waved her staff and whispered the incantation.

Three silver-white magic missiles swiftly formed at the tip of the staff and exploded in the bear goblin's chest almost simultaneously.

Amidst the dazzling explosion, the goblin bear let out a piercing roar: "Awooo! Garon will tear you apart!"

Even though it was forced to its knees by Piper's hammer, it still angrily swung the club around its body once.

Because of the height difference, Piper was not hurt at all.

Lorraine, however, was still caught in the momentum of the combo and couldn't force her body to twist away.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, holding the dragon scale shield in front of him and lowering his body to block the sweeping attack solidly with the shield.

"Bang!—"

A tremendous force came from his arm, and he was instantly swept away, spinning half a circle in the air before his chest slammed into a tree on the outside.

"Lorraine!"

Eileen gasped in surprise.

"fine."

Lorraine crawled out of the snowdrift, feeling that apart from not being able to catch her breath when she was knocked away, she had not suffered any serious injuries.

"You shit-filled bastard, how dare you hit my brother!" Piper swung his warhammer again, smashing it into the back of the head.

The bear goblin's eyes widened suddenly, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood in pain before collapsing forward to the ground.

"Die, you son of a bitch!"

The short man swung his warhammer, roaring as he prepared to smash it down.

"Spare the bear before the hammer falls!"

Lorraine rushed forward as fast as she could, not even having time to drink any healing potions, afraid that the exploration experience she had just gained would slip away.

He ran at his fastest speed ever, and before the little dwarf could strike, he stabbed the immobile bear in the mouth with his sword, ending its life.

[First enemy kill - Goblin Bear]

[Reward: 200 Exploration Experience Points]

Current balance: 252 exploration experience points

Seeing the timely notification, Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't all for nothing that I took that blow.

"You're not dead?"

Piper stared at Lorraine with a look of surprise.

"Should I be dead?"

He said irritably.

The short man scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Pip thought you were going to get smashed flat."

"Lorraine!"

Eileen rushed over, her dark gray skirt billowing as she ran. As she ran, she snapped at him, "Why didn't you drink the healing potion?!"

She reached out and touched Lorraine's chest, saying, "How are you? Where does it hurt? Say something!"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury to my arm from the impact; the rest was protected by the shield and breastplate."

Lorraine gently patted her hand.

Although it looked frightening, after he adjusted his posture, the dragon scale shield completely caught it.

The shield was dented in the center by the hammer, and several small cracks appeared around the edge of the dent, but it was far from being pierced through.

Moreover, the half-body armor protected him from the impact when he hit the tree, and the soft lining inside dispersed most of the impact force throughout his torso.

In the end, all I had was severe pain in my left arm, which was most likely due to a fracture.

For an ordinary adventurer, this is indeed a significant injury, requiring several months of rest to recover, or perhaps a large sum of money to hire a priest for treatment.

But for me, who documented the treatment of minor injuries, it only took three or four days to fully recover.

Having a lot of equipment is great; if he were missing even one piece, he wouldn't be so confident.

Glenn was right; his combo attack did have a major flaw, as he couldn't move while unleashing it.

It seems there's probably no way to save this money.

Lorraine decided that if she couldn't find another teacher immediately after returning home, she would pay Glenn to tutor her.

"Where's the healing potion?" Eileen asked, frowning as she touched the dents on Lorraine's shield.

"No need, no need, I have a magic ring that can cast healing spells."

Lorraine reached out and used the Ring of the Burner on her chest.

He dared not hide it any longer, fearing that Eileen would force him to drink the healing potion, which cost 33 gold coins!

A warm light shone, and this time it seemed to have triggered the ring's "Beginner's Luck," instantly dispelling the discomfort in my chest.

"Where did you get so many magical trinkets?"

Eileen opened her mouth in surprise.

Including that damn thing that could cast shield spells before, this is the second one she has seen.

And this breastplate he's wearing.

It looks almost as good as Rennes's. Even though it's just one piece, it shouldn't be something a porter could afford, right?

Just how many secrets is this guy hiding?
