Chapter 11 – Lord Selim exterminates monsters
Early in the morning, after spending the night in the village, I prayed toward the morning sun.
《You have completed the daily quest <Praying>》
After that, while everyone was preparing for the goblin subjugation, I repaired the magic device for farming that the village chief spoke of yesterday.
《You repaired a villager’s magic device     Your experience points increased    +100 experience points》
《Current level: -46    Current experience points: 210/1000》
《You completed the daily quest <One good deed a day>》
《You completed <Praying> and <One good deed a day>     Your experience points increased as a quest reward》
《Your experience points increased by 500》
《Current level: -46    Current experience points: 710/1000》
“Hmm. <Daily Quest> is easier to complete than when I’m in the castle.”
All that’s left now is to get rid of the goblins and go home.
Guided by the villagers, we headed for the goblin settlement in the west.
We were guided to a rocky place in the forest. The trees began to become sparse, blocked by the large stones.
Among them, a hobgoblin was sitting on a particularly large rock like a throne. That must be the boss of the horde.
Several goblins around the boss have decent weapons. Among them, the two with wands must be goblin mages that can use magic.
The horde is about 30 in total. We should be able to defeat them, and there is no risk of injury when dealing with the weak goblins in the corner of their settlement, but it would be troublesome if they ran away.
“Enclose them quietly. I’ll deal with the hobgoblin in the center. You guys fight carefully so that they won’t escape. Gilbert can roam freely, it’s better if you go where there are more enemies.”
Seeing that everyone was in position, I first rushed into the horde to catch their attention.
I increase my speed by using body strengthening and auxiliary magic, closing in to the hobgoblin in the center instantly. The enemy quickly readied their weapons and responded to the sudden attack.
“Freeze.”
I froze the entire body of a goblin that was aiming its bow from a distance using an ice spell.
《You killed a monster during combat     Your experience points decreased    -100 experience points》
“Ice Bullet.”
I cast ice bullets to shoot through the shoulders and wrists of the Hobgoblin that raises its heavy sword to attack me.
I stabbed and cut the hobgoblin in a pounce while it lost its balance.
《You killed a monster during combat     Your experience points decreased    -100 experience points》
The moment I kicked the hobgoblin’s body, fireballs came flying from the sides.
“A goblin mage, huh…”
The enemy’s magic disappeared when it got close to me.
The goblin had a quizzical look on its face.
“It’s a barrier spell. Here, in return. Ice Bullet!“
I killed the two goblin mages.
《You killed a monster during combat     Your experience points decreased    -100 experience points》
《You killed a monster during combat     Your experience points decreased    -100 experience points》
The goblin holding a dagger tried to run away after seeing its companions killed.
Its back is full of flaws.
“Ice Bullet.”
《You killed a monster     Your experience points decreased     -1000 experience points》
“Huh? Ehh!?”
The experience points deducted were ten times.
Even though it only decreased by 100 each until just now.
“Is it because I attacked when it was running away? The log changed from , I can no longer boast of my martial prowess. However, when necessary, fighting monsters is possible.
The trip ended safely, and we returned to the lord’s castle by night.
I’ll do my best to level up again starting tomorrow.
