SWNOVELS Chapter 10 - Evolve Kobolds
Chapter 10 - Evolve Kobolds
In just a few minutes, Souta arrived in the area near the Orc’s dungeon.
The orcs were the most powerful monsters here in the upper floor of the sanctuary. Their stats were naturally higher than the other monsters of the same level.
Pure strength. They only use their brute strength in a fight. They don’t have any skills at all.
But it’s different to an evolve orc. The evolve orc have higher stats and could use skills. The combat power of the boss of this dungeon was higher than anything else on the upper floor. Even he wouldn’t dare to enter that dungeon with his current stats.
Souta was hiding on the top of a tree. He was observing the dungeon carefully.
Three orcs came out of the cave. The orcs had huge bodies. They were three meters tall and have bodies full of fat. They were armed with a huge butcher knife. They were literally what people called pig head.
Souta felt that they were oozing out power greater than kobolds and goblins. One orc could fight three goblins on the same level.
’Still, hunting in a pack, huh?’ He thought as he saw the three orcs entered the woods. They were probably going to hunt foods here.
The orcs weren’t moving suspiciously and it seemed that they only hunt the wolves from the other dungeon. There’s no war going on in this place and they didn’t try to invade the other dungeons.
"Good boy..." Souta muttered and then continued observing for half an hour.
When he confirmed that there’s nothing wrong, he turned around and left.
He also checked the other dungeons this time. The hornet and slime’s dungeon were still silent. They didn’t even come out of their base.
After that, he came back to the kobold’s dungeon. He waited in the tree and half an hour later five kobolds came out of the dungeon.
Souta silently moved his body and he followed behind the five kobolds.
Ten minutes later, he saw an opportunity. He quickly jumped out of the bushes and sliced the neck of the kobold.
[You’ve received 61 exp for defeating a Kobold!]
"One down..." Souta smirked and turned his head to the remaining four kobolds.
They kobolds clenched their weapon and charged straight.
Tch!
Souta faced them as he moved the sword in his hand faster than anyone present here.
[Stab]!
[Stab]!
Putchi! Putchi!
The four kobolds stopped charging. They stood silently and looked on their chest. They saw a small hole on their left chest.
Spat!
Blood flow down in their mouth and they fell on their ground without any signs of life.
[You’ve received 48 exp for defeating a Kobold!]
[You’ve received 55 exp for defeating a Kobold!]
[You’ve received 66 exp for defeating a Kobold!]
[You’ve received 53 exp for defeating a Kobold!]
Souta made a hole in their chest using his skill. Now that [Stab] reached level 2, it was now faster and stronger than before. A single [Stab] could kill two kobolds easily. The only problem was that it consumed two stamina per use.
He checked his exp percentage and found that he was about to level up once again. If he could conquer the kobold’s dungeon then he would reach the level requirements of the first evolution. He would also gain enough souls to increase his stats.
"Evolution, huh?" He quite interested in his evolution and he wasn’t going to deny it. After all, his character in the game was a demi. A demi doesn’t have any evolution like monsters. They were already born stronger than the monster like goblins, kobolds, slimes, etc. If his character was demi or human then he already cleaned up the upper floor in this sanctuary.
He wanted to experience the effect of evolution. According to the players, the effect of evolution was great. Their powers wouldn’t increase twice but thrice. It’s not a simple increase in stats.
With a wave of his hand, he collected the souls of the kobolds and left the scene.
...
One day had passed quickly.
The battle between kobolds and goblins were heating up. The casualties on two sides could amount to a hundred men.
Souta collected all the souls and increased his strength attribute. He killed some of the kobolds that left the dungeon. This let him reached level 9 easier.
Now, he needs 5,600 exp to level up to 10. Kobolds were not enough, he also needs the goblin here or the other monsters. He needs the soul of the goblins and kobolds to reached the requirements in evolution.
He was quite surprised at the numbers of the kobolds. He estimated that their total number was higher than two hundred. This number gave him a surprise. This surpassed the numbers of what a low-level dungeon could hold.
But what surprised him the most were the goblins. The number of goblins exceeded the number of kobolds. As expected of a goblin, their fertility rate was higher than any normal monster. The only problem was they were not that of a great fighter.
Right now, the forces of kobolds and goblins were fighting in front of him. More than a hundred monsters participated in this battle.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sounds of swords clashing echoed in the whole area. The numbers of goblins were greater than the kobolds but the kobolds fighting abilities were higher.
"What a great battle?" Souta observed the surroundings while fighting some kobolds.
He’s taking it easy. He didn’t reveal his abilities here as he just wants to plunder the souls here. Sometimes he would kill goblins and kobolds sneakily. He’s slowly increasing his exp and souls here.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Souta crossed swords in one of the kobolds. He then looked around before he slashed the neck of the kobold.
Putchi!
[You’ve received 67 exp for defeating a kobold!]
He moved to another kobold and killed it.
[You’ve received 52 exp for defeating a kobold!]
"It’s enough..." Souta muttered as he silently left the battlefield without anyone knowing.
"It’s time to visit the kobold’s dungeon..."
...
Souta run passed in the woods and arrived in front of the kobold’s dungeon.
He saw twenty kobolds leaving the dungeon. They were armed with a sharp weapon. What caught his attention were the four kobolds in front of the group. The four kobolds were emitting a very extraordinary aura that no ordinary kobolds could emit.
"An evolve kobolds...!" Souta muttered under his breath. The four were evolve kobolds. They were much difficult opponents than ordinary kobolds.
"But they were still at the early stage of first evolution..." Souta squinted his eyes. If he could see their levels, they were probably between 11 and 14. 15 and 20 were the levels of the low-level dungeon.
"Huff..."
Souta took a deep breath and gripped his sword tightly. He also took out his staff and he slowly bent his knees.
He was going to take out one or two in an instant to decrease his burden in fighting them all at the same time.
Boom!
Souta speed was so fast that he arrived in front of the group in an instant. He moved his hand and his sword flew slicing the neck of the evolve kobold.
Putchi!!
[You’ve received 174 exp for defeating a High Kobold!]
The kobolds were surprised. They couldn’t react at all as Souta’s sword sliced one of their comrades.
He then smashed his sword on the kobold on his left side. Before they could regain their composure, Souta killed another kobold.
Roar!
One of the evolve kobold roared angrily at him. It slashed its sword on him.
Clang!
Souta blocked it using the staff. He felt the force of the kobold behind the attack. He was surprised that they were equals in strength.
"Damn!"
He jumped backward as he saw that the other two evolve kobolds rushed at him.
Swiiish!
He threw his staff in the mid-air and opened his palm widely. He fired three fireballs consecutively.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The fireballs exploded in front of the two evolve kobolds.
Souta used this chance and kill two ordinary kobolds swiftly. He ignored the system prompts in his mind as he turned around and left.
"Grrrr!!" The three evolve kobolds growled angrily and started to chase him.
...
Souta entered the woods faster using [Dash]. He then hid his body on the top of the tree. It was hard to spot him in the tree because of the color of his skin.
The exp he received from killing a high kobold was high. He would get more than five hundred exp if he killed the remaining three high kobolds.
Swooosh! Swooosh!
Souta turned his head when he heard the sound of moving fast like a wind. He saw the kobolds went straight to the direction of the battlefield.
"Hey!" He raised his sword above his head and threw it towards the kobolds.
Swiiish!!
A kobold turned its head and it felt a strange sensation in its chest.
A sword pierced its chest.
The kobold looked up and saw Souta charging straight.
"Good!" Souta grabbed the handle of the sword and kicked the body of the kobold, pulling out the sword from its chest. He then turned around and used [Dash].
The ordinary kobolds couldn’t follow him. Only the three evolve kobolds could react to his speed.
Before they could stop him, Souta already sliced the neck of the ordinary kobolds. He a series of sound in his head.
"Graaaa!!" The three kobolds threw themselves at him and slashed their weapon.
Souta slightly shifted his body as a spear passed beside him. He then waved his sword to the attacks of the two evolve kobolds.
Clang!
"Come!" Souta moved his faster and clashed against the evolve kobolds. contemporary romance
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Souta didn’t back down at all even he took some deep cuts on his body. He fought all with all of his strength.
He forced the two evolve kobolds away and grabbed the sword of the other evolve kobold which was aimed at his head.
"Argh!"
Blood flows out of his hand when he grabbed the blade of the sword. Souta smirked and said, "Gotcha!" He then used [Stab] two times and made a hole on the body of the evolve kobolds.
[You’ve received 181 exp for defeating a High Kobold!]
Before he could turn to look at the other kobold, a spear pierced his left shoulder.
"Argh!!"
Souta groaned from the pain he felt. Lifting up his left hand, he forcefully grabbed the spear on his shoulder before he threw his sword on the other kobold. He then turned his head to the kobold who stabbed his shoulder. He grabbed tightly the spear and didn’t let it go even when the kobold pulled it away.
Souta opened his palm widely and grabbed the face of the kobold. He cast [Fire ball] consecutively until he heard the system prompts.
He then released his grip on the face of the kobold. He pulled out the spear on his shoulder and jumped in the mid-air.
Swooosh!
He looked down and saw the remaining kobold looking at him with fear.
"Once you start to feel it you’re bound to lose..." Souta said before putting his strength on his arm before forcefully throwing the spear.
The spear traveled in the air going straight towards the kobold.
Swooosh!!
The spear nailed the kobold on the ground. It drew its last brew looking at Souta.
[You’ve received 192 exp from defeating a High Kobold!]
Souta sat down on the grass. He lost one-fourth of his health from this battle. He could actually end it faster if he uses [Stab] but he wants to reserve it because he was going to fight the boss today.
He rested for a few minutes and left after collecting the souls.
