Becoming a god starts with enhancing fire arrows.

Chapter 7 I'm a rather saintly person

Upon seeing this, the goblins who had been chasing them stopped in their tracks.

The ogre seemed annoyed at being woken up from its sleep. It put down Kurin's body and, with its large, heavy feet, slowly approached the remaining three goblins.

"Back off!"

A goblin warrior gave orders to the other goblins.

Although ogres do not like to eat goblins, they are very territorial creatures.

It is now clear that it has been offended.

"Continue, just withdraw from its territory."

The goblins gripped their weapons tightly, cautiously retreating as they faced the ogres.

retreat.

Retreat again.

The ogres slowly approached, and the goblins slowly retreated.

Until they withdrew from the territory.

The ogre stared at the goblins and stopped advancing.

"Okay, let's retreat like this."

The goblin who had given the orders breathed a sigh of relief.

Whoosh.

A flaming arrow flew out from nowhere and landed right at the ogre's feet.

"roar!!!"

This flaming arrow was like the final straw that broke the ogre's sanity.

It charged madly at the three goblins.

The three goblins instinctively turned around, preparing to split up and escape.

Unfortunately, although the ogres are bulky, they are incredibly fast at sprinting.

In the blink of an eye, it had caught the first goblin and thrown it at the second.

The third goblin heard the sound and sensed something was wrong, so it turned around to see what was happening.

But all he saw was his own small, headless body slowly falling down.

The ogre surveyed the area in a fit of rage, but seeing no other enemies, it turned and picked up Kurin's corpse, chewing on it as if venting its anger.

After finishing his snacks, he trudged away into the cave with heavy steps.

"call."

Rhodes, who was hiding in the bushes, let out a long sigh of relief and quietly crawled out.

I rubbed my ears, which were still sore from the vibration.

He shook his head, recalling Kulin's miserable state.

Fortunately, ogres are not highly intelligent beings.

Otherwise, I'll become the chewing stick of an iron barrel myself.

Rhodes turned around and carefully returned to the battlefield where the two squads had just been, in the opposite direction of the ogre cave.

I'm going to take a look and see what loot I've got.

As for equipment, I don't have any proficiency in either longswords, maces, or short bows.

But the goblin mage's staff intrigued him.

The goblin mage had a dagger stuck in his chest, and his expression was ferocious.

Looking at the gruesome state of the corpse, Rhodes felt no extra emotion. He simply snatched the staff with the skull embedded in it from the tightly clenched hand and cast an appraisal spell.

【Name: Witchcraft Staff】

Type: Staff

[Quality: Rare]

[Description: A staff made from a dwarf's skull that can slightly increase a mage's casting speed.]

[Additional Spell: Speak to the Dead]

It's equivalent to increasing casting speed and adding a necromancy spell.

Rhodes nodded, seemingly satisfied with the staff.

They then proceeded to loot the other corpses.

I found some healing potions and a few scattered copper coins.

Just when everyone thought they wouldn't find anything else, they found a bright silver ring in Daisy's pocket.

【Name: Disguise Ring】

【Type: Jewelry】

[Quality: Epic]

[Description: A ring that can change your appearance to some extent. It can be used once a day, and the effect lasts for five minutes each time.]

How can it still be of epic quality with so many restrictions?

Rhodes was somewhat puzzled.

He remembered that disguise shouldn't be a very high-level spell.

He was pondering for a moment.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone's leg suddenly twitch, and then they slowly sat up.

"Huh? There are still survivors?"

Rhodes took a few steps closer and recognized Archer, the assassin disguised as a mage.

Archer, clutching his head, waved and shouted as Rhodes approached, "Wait a minute, let's make some terms."

"What are the conditions?" Rhodes asked with interest, stopping a few steps away from him.

"Let me go, I have a high-level spell scroll here."

Archer looked pitiful, his hands trembling as he reached into his pocket: "I found this in a treasure chest in some cave."

"You know what a high-level spell scroll means to a mage, right?"

"Even if you can't learn it, you can still sell it for a good price."

"As long as... as long as you let me go."

"Yes." Rhodes nodded, seemingly thinking for a moment:

"Then wouldn't it be the same if I killed you?"

"This scroll is sealed!" Archer shouted.

"Over the years, I've found some scattered clues to break the seal."

Archer kept his head down, his hands still rummaging through his clothes.

Rhodes' smile was full of benevolent light:

"Actually, when you think about it carefully, you didn't really do anything to me. It was all Kuriin's orders."

"Besides, we're both human, and I'm a rather saintly person. If I killed you, I'd be so afraid of feeling guilty that I'd go blind."

"Thinking about it that way, it's better to exchange your life for the spell scroll."

"Yes, yes, that's right, my life is worthless." Archer's expression became increasingly humble, and he slowly stood up as he spoke.

"The scroll is on my clothes..."

Before he could finish speaking, two flaming arrows pierced his forehead and throat, one after the other.

Rhodes waited in place for a while, and only after confirming that the other party had lost all vital signs did he slowly approach.

He pulled his hand out of Archer's pocket and found a sharp dagger clutched tightly in his hand.

I was thinking of getting a few more questions out of him to see if I could get any useful information.

But the other party was so eager to take action that he felt helpless.

Rhodes, somewhat disappointed, put the dagger and the several vials of poison that the other man was carrying into his pocket.

After surveying the battlefield and confirming that nothing had been left behind, he left.

Unfortunately, Krillin ultimately chose to disturb the cannibals.

Otherwise, according to his own plan, he could kill one or two more goblins in poor condition at the end.

By the way, the sword Krillin is holding should be quite valuable too.

Unfortunately, it landed near the ogre's cave.

Rhodes had witnessed the explosive power of the ogre's sprinter and didn't want to take that risk.

Following the direction Paril had fled, it took them less than half an hour.

Then I saw Paril leaning obediently against a conspicuous large rock, her slender arms wrapped around her knees, like a delicate little doll.

Upon seeing Rhodes appear, the young priest was overjoyed and trotted over to greet him.

"You're back. Do you need any treatment?"

Rhodes waved his hand to indicate that it wasn't necessary: "Let's rest for a bit, then we'll head towards Phil town immediately and try to arrive by noon."

Seeing Paril nod, Rhodes also sat down against the rock and opened the panel.

[Next enhancement requires 135/50 Life Essence]

This is the essence of life after the fierce battle, the killing of snakes and pythons, and the picking of mushrooms.

strengthen!

Please select a skill enhancement direction.

[Identify - Instant Cast (Rare): Identify can be cast without chanting]

[Flame Arrow - Fast (Normal): Flame Arrows travel faster]

[Flame Arrow - Mastery (Normal): Flame Arrows are more accurate within ten meters]

Rhodes chose the [Mastery] enhancement almost without hesitation.

In any situation, precision is key.

No matter how powerful the damage is, it's all for nothing if you can't hit it.

The maximum range of the Flame Arrow is about thirty meters, although ten meters is still a bit short.
