“Turn me into a blade (Enchant).”
At that chant, the darkness wrapped around me moved itself to the sword.
I’m hidden amongst thickets, watching my preys. When the magic finished casting, I immediately jumped out, and pursued the preys before me. My target, the herd of Eirel Deer.
These preys were found by my goblin subordinates after I ordered them to look for some. And as for my target, it’s the biggest one amongst the ones spotted today.
Right now, there are around 30 deer drinking water from the lake and feeding on the gra.s.s. And these are all going to serve as my practice partners. With that thought, I took a step.
But as soon as I stepped out of the thickets, they noticed my presence. Was it because of their instincts as beasts who grew up in the wild? Or was it just because my killing intent leaked out? I don’t know, but as their ears perked up, all of their gazes focused onto me.
Without flinching, I proudly took another step
Then they turned their back to me, and they began to run.
But as soon as I took that step, I had already prepped myself to sprint at maximum speed. And in the blink of an eye, the running preys’ back was before me.
But then all of the sudden, the Eirel deer stopped, and then turned right.
The force of having sprinted at maximum speed weighed heavily on me. Enduring that, I paused, and then turned, continuing to chase after my prey.
As soon as it entered my range, I swung my enchanted Iron Second down. And in an instant, the deer was cut down. It was so fast that the deer wasn’t even given a moment to utter a cry. Seeing that, I couldn’t help but find myself dumbfounded.
The resistance was so thin it was as if I’d just cut b.u.t.ter with knife.
“Amazing…”
While I was caught up in my fascination over the prowess of magic, the goblins seems to have already gotten used to hunting the Eirel deer. Looks like the three man cell’s been more effective than expected.
As soon as the larvae grow up, they’re put in with experienced teams and instructed how to use traps. Because of this, it’s become possible to acquire preys without hurting their quality.
As a result, the efficiency of our hunts have increased, and the food situation’s gotten better. Leading to an increase in the survival rate of the birthed goblins which then consequentiallly leads up to an increase in war potential.
Ahh… but even without that, I’d still want to have our bellies filled. After all, you can’t fight with an empty stomach, right?
All the more so since we get our provisions from hunting and not from vegetation. So I want to get some now while we can.
It’s a pity thought that smoking’s the most we could do when it comes to preserving food, but I guess it’ll all work out somehow.
While I was up there in my own little world, thinking of all sorts of random things, I suddenly heard the death throes of a deer.
“GuruuUu!”
Oh?
And as my eyes moved towards the direction of that scream, I saw the goblin who killed it, transforming as it sat there on the ground with vapors coming out of its body. He’s evolving?
As I continued to watch the goblin’s evolution, its skin turned red, and its muscles grew bigger. Its stiff expression also changed into a fiendish one. And as its evolution finished, its cries changed to that of a goblin rare.
It might be because it’s my first time seeing someone evolve that I couldn’t help but stare at the new goblin rare. But then as I continued to stare at it, some texts suddenly appeared within my mind.
