Ding!

[Your Level has increased to Level 24!]

[Your Level has increased to Level 25!]

[Skill Bonus Proficiency Earned]

[App Points Bonus Earned]

[The Levels of some Skills have increased!]

[You Acquired the [Undeath Bitter Harvest: Level 1] Skill!]

Frank sighed in relief, the battle against this squadron was over, and the amount of EXP he got from defeating all these Goblins was ridiculous, managing to level up twice after pulverizing the large group of Mage Goblins conjuring the Thunderstorm.

Frank decided to check his new Skill in a few seconds to see what it was all about, however, it seemed to be one of those Skills he could get after reaching a certain level with a Job.

Each Job could be leveled 10 times, and anyone with them was able to receive two Skills with each Job, one every five levels, not only Frank but anyone with the System who had changed Jobs and reached the required levels would get Skills too which made even Frank’s allies begin to appear with unique Skills he had never seen before.

[Undeath Bitter Harvest: Level 1/10]

Harvest the Souls and the corpses of the fallen to convert them into temporal energy to increase your Attribute Values, healing, and Mana Regeneration.

By manipulating the souls and corpses, you can convert them into essences of Bitter Death, making them usable powers to either enhance your power or that of your allies and even offer wide-ranged healing or other effects such as curses to enemies.

“This Skill is amazing! It has more than just one effect, and it seems more complex than someone would think…”

As everything calmed down momentarily, Grandwing and his party alongside Kamei flew towards Frank, showing clear surprise in their eyes.

“That was outstanding, Frank, thank you for your help…” said Grandwing, he seemed rather prideful, so he was still containing a bit himself.

“A-And that’s without even counting your allies… I was very surprised to see them unleash so many attacks so rapidly and efficiently… especially because they didn’t need to completely chant spells at all… And the manipulation over mana they had was also… impressive,” said Melodia.

“Indeed, it was quite impressive,” said Grandwing.

Over the praises of the Storm Chasers, Frank’s party seemed a bit flustered.

“Ah, it was nothing! Really!” said Cathyl while waving her hand.

“We just do our best to help as much as we can,” said Asterion.

“That’s right! We still cannot compare to your experience in battle!” said Hilvera.

“Yeah, yeah, keep praising me!” said Annabelle smugly.

“Annabelle doesn’t get so complacent,” said Gwendolyn.

“I did whatever I could!” said Kamei.

“Well anyway, if you’re so grateful invite us to eat something later~,” said Vheslia.

“Haha, although most of you are young, I can see that you’re talented and good people. And sure thing, Vheslia,” said Grandwing with a gentle smile.

“Yeah, let’s go eat something together after wrapping all of this thing up… Although more and more Goblins are waiting for us, so let’s get going,” said Melodia.

“It seems that Rabrudion has already advanced!” said the crow-kin of the Storm Chasers Group.

“What? Why does he have to be like that? He cannot possibly deal with all of them… Let’s go!” said Grandwing, leading his party as all four of the bird-kin flapped their wings, Frank’s party following them from behind by running as fast as possible.

Frank closed one of his eyes to see through his Overseeing Light Eye, which was watching over Rabrudion’s battle.

The Golden Lions had already come into a large army of Goblins, perhaps two times as big as the previous one they fought, and although they had a lot of destructive power, the Goblins were way too many while also being boosted by the Goblin King’s presence, their power was pretty much doubling!

Frank glanced as Rabrudion used his Earth Attribute Magic to fire enormous boulders, crushing several Goblins, only for bigger Goblins, Goblin Warriors and Goblin Knights grabbed the boulders and threw them back to his group!

Rabrudion and the other cats were barely hanging on with their lives, evading while attacking as furiously and fast as possible, however, Rabrudion was constantly gnashing his teeth while using everything he had, he seemed way too frustrated!

“Why?! Why does that stupid brat get all the spotlight?! And how is it possible for him to be so strong with his stupid party of idiotic kids?! I am going to finish this off myself! ROOOOOOAAR!”

Rabrudion suddenly roared, as he unleashed enormous steps into the floor, making the entire place tremble as the Goblins lost balance and fell, some kind of powerful gravitational force produced by the Lion made them dizzy, as the other members of the Golden Lions emerged, firing long-ranged magic attacks such as Fireballs, Storms of Slicing Leaves, and more.

The Lion-kin smiled as the other cat-kin at his side seemed to have managed to break through this army…!

However, that was but an illusion!

As soon as the smoke from the magic attacks dissipated, they discovered that the dozens of Goblin Mages at the back of the Goblin Warriors and Knights had combined their magic to conjure enormous barriers, protecting most of the Goblins!

Also, some of the Goblin Warriors and Knight’s used themselves as meat shields, protecting the smaller and frailer mages!

Rabrudion had never seen such an act of self-sacrifice and companionship between Goblins before!

Of course, it was not within his mind to even think about such a thing occur because monsters were savage and selfish, most of the time they would never give up their own lives to save others, only if they were their young, and only in a few species.

However, against all expectations, not only these Goblin Warriors and Knights gave up their lives to let others survive, but it was thanks to them that the Mages managed to conjure the barriers to cover the rest of the army!

Such an amazing display of tactfulness left the savage Golden Lions startled!

“GRYAHAHAHA!”

A taller Goblin Mage wearing robes with skulls commanded the rest of the Mages to attack, as an enormous Meteor Shower was unfolded before Rabrudion and his group!

“S-SHIT! EVADE!” roared Rabrudion, as the enormous blazing rocks began to fall over the Rank 2 Magus as if they were mere Ants!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The gigantic blazing meteors fell over the entirety of the floor, explosions of fire and large pieces of rock spread all around, Rabrudion and his party were decimated, as they barely evaded lethal injuries, but many of them were already at death’s door!

Rabrudion fell into the ground, by covering his entire body with rocks, he had somehow managed to mitigate some of the damage, but his legs and one of his arms were broken, and a large piece of rock was stuck inside of his left leg, with blood gushing out…

Being Rank 2 did not mean that he became invincible.

Although these Goblins were all Rank 1, they were being enhanced by the Goblin King’s presence and had become more intelligent, using their numbers to unfold tactics and even sacrifice themselves to attain victory.

Rabrudion glanced at the rest of his party, they were barely hanging in life, some of them were almost completely roasted, and the only healer was unconscious…

“Gryahaha… Beast-kin… weak…” muttered the Goblin Wearing several skulls… he was not a normal Goblin.

Rabrudion then realized it!

This was… the Goblin King!

“He… infiltrated within their ranks to lead them?! S-Sneaky… bastard! Nnggaaghh…!”

Rabrudion muttered whatever he could muster, as he vomited a mouthful of blood.

The Goblin King pointed its finger at Rabrudion, as the large, over three-meter-tall Goblin Warriors and Goblin Knights moved towards him and his party.

“Bring me their Cores!” he said.

Rabrudion wanted to fight as he could, summoning a few rock spears that were easily shielded by magic barriers, the enormous hands of the Goblin Warriors and Goblin Knights neared reached him, as their eyes gleamed with overwhelming bloodlust.

Rabrudion’s eyes fell into despair, losing all the light he had… he was going to die.

For a moment, he began to ask for someone to help him… for someone to emerge…

The party that he left behind could appear at any moment!

This… although it pained him to think… was his only hope left…

“Nngh…!” cried Rabrudion, as his head was grabbed by the large, green-skinned hands of a Goblin Warrior.

“W-Wait… D-Don’t! GET OFF ME!” roared Rabrudion, trying to move the only arm that wasn’t broken to resist, using his long lion claws to slash through the thick skin and muscle of the Goblin Warrior.

The Goblin Warrior only laughed at his attempt of surviving, as his other hand was about to break through Rabrudion’s chest and take away his Mana Core out of his flesh forcefully!

“I don’t… want to die! Stop! STOP!” he cried, as he glanced with horror as two of his party member screamed in agony, their chests busted out open as the large hands of the Goblin Warriors took away their Mana Cores, which were entangled with their flesh and blood vessels!

“GRRRRYAAAAAAAAAHH…!”

“GGUUAAAAAHHHGG…!”

Shiny and gleaming jewels that contained large quantities of Mana were extracted from their chests, as the former party members of Rabrudion immediately turned into lifeless corpses as if they were puppets whose strings were cut off.

“Will… Will I go through the same?! No… No! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” screamed the prideful Lion, as a ‘Hero’, the Hero of the race of beast-kin given the Divine Protection of their progenitor God emerged to save his life.

SLASH!

An enormous claw made of corrosive poison and dark magic flew towards the Goblin Warrior grabbing Rabrudion, and slicing off the goblin’s arm!
