The Shining MVP

Even though Lin Yun had warned the young warrior to be vigilant of their rear, the cave was so narrow and Goddess Priestess was blocking the warrior's path. The young warrior couldn't possibly push Goddess Priestess aside and charge forward. Thus, he could only follow Lin Yun's instructions and watch their backs.

And he had just seen it. He had just seen the guy with the long sword. If Lin Yun hadn't stomped on his wrist, that guy might have already swung his long sword at Female Fighter.

Although, it was possible he might have missed.

This made the young warrior start to have some thoughts. At the very least, the previously naive warrior now realized that not everyone in this world was good. Therefore, he understood Lin Yun's words about being vigilant of their rear on a deeper level. It wasn't just about potential Goblins, but also about adventurers like that guy. Lin Yun was their solid rear guard.

Well, okay, this guy had a lot going on in his head.

As for a certain Thief, in fact, after entering the cave, this guy had disappeared without anyone noticing. No one knew what he was trying to do, or if he had simply chickened out.

The young warrior naturally felt indignant about this. However, because the situation had suddenly descended into chaos, and only he knew about this matter, he couldn't speak up for the moment.

Meanwhile, after being treated by Goddess Priestess, Lin Yun could finally catch his breath. After all, this wasn't strictly necessary. There were five Goblins in front and two more with short bows behind, a total of seven. Three had already died. Given the situation, it was quite... not at all.

Lin Yun seemed to have forgotten that this wasn't a game of Dungeons & Dragons but a real world. And this was a Goblin cave! Three of the five Goblins in front were dead, and then, from the darkness, three more Goblins quickly emerged and charged towards Lin Yun. But he still had time to attack.

Looking at the three Goblins that charged out again, Lin Yun felt a headache coming on. While he wasn't unfamiliar with brawls, this situation was truly disgusting.

He swung his Lantern Staff again. This time, he aimed for the Goblin that had injured him with a small blade earlier.

"D20+2+2=14, Hit."

Although the hit rate was a bit iffy, he did hit. And this time, Lin Yun finally got lucky. The Goblin, which had been trying to dodge the Lantern Staff aimed at Lin Yun, was apparently blocked by the corpse of a nearby Goblin. It failed to dodge and instead felt like it slammed its head into the Lantern Staff.

"D6+2+1=8"

He almost dealt maximum damage, knocking the Goblin directly to the ground. Its head was slightly deformed, and the flames from the spilled lantern oil didn't even allow it to let out a scream, though its body was still twitching subconsciously.

Meanwhile, seemingly seeing Lin Yun and Female Fighter unleash their might, the female Magician finally mustered her courage. Facing the Goblin in the shadows, she placed one hand on her Wand, muttering incantations again, "Nock and ignite, Flame Arrow." A ball of flame generated from the Wand, transforming into a flaming arrow that shot towards a Goblin in the distance preparing to draw its bow... but the flame hit the rock wall next to the Goblin...

Sister, can you do it? Sister, can you stop this?

Lin Yun, who had narrowly avoided the female Magician's Flame Arrow and felt a scorching heat brush past him, involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat.

(Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore. This time the female Magician rolled a 2, almost a critical failure.)

After the female Magician fired the Flame Arrow, she looked exhausted, as if her body had been emptied. But seeing her gritting her teeth, it was clear she was unwilling to accept it.

She should have been the most outstanding. She was known as the most talented Magician of this generation in the magic academy. Why, why couldn't she even hit a Goblin? How was this possible? This was illogical! This wasn't magic!

Meanwhile, the first Goblin that had reached Lin Yun looked around in confusion as the other Goblins fell. It started to get scared.

After all, it was just a Goblin. Its courage was limited, and there was a large force behind them. Was it going to charge forward and die now? So, it turned around and instinctively wanted to run. But this guy seemed to have forgotten that Lin Yun was behind him. Seeing it about to run, Lin Yun instinctively swung his Lantern Staff.

"D20+2+2=14, Hit."

This Goblin looked too scared, completely panicking. It was hit on the back by Lin Yun and let out a scream, tumbling forward.

"D6+2+1=4" It appeared, the minimum damage.

Well, it seemed like it was running too fast, so the Lantern Staff hit a bit shallowly. This Goblin actually survived. It joined the main force, well, it was actually three Goblins that had banded together, and the four of them charged forward together.

At this moment, seeing a Goblin wielding a wooden club charging forward, Female Fighter eagerly rushed up. She seemed to feel that daggers and the like were not her style; using her fists was more manly... ah, no, more like a martial artist.

Her first punch landed directly on the Goblin's mouth, almost dislocating it. Even a concussion was not impossible. However, as she threw her second punch, perhaps because the Goblin was dazed from the heavy first blow, swaying unsteadily, it actually dodged her second punch. Not wanting to retreat like this, Female Fighter gritted her teeth and... kicked out again.

Girl, are you the legendary "greedy for extra attacks" person?

Then, at this moment, something magical happened. She kicked out, hitting the Goblin's head, almost kicking its head off. Then she kicked it into another Goblin behind it. And this Goblin was precisely the one that Lin Yun had knocked over earlier.

The kicked Goblin flew towards this Goblin and was instinctively caught by it. As it instinctively looked at this Goblin, it found that this Goblin was already on its last breath. The only Goblin that was completely killed on the scene had appeared.

Casually throwing aside the corpse of its companion, the Goblin, with a sharp cry, charged towards Lin Yun again.

And the two Goblins with short bows lurking in the darkness in the distance also began their attack.

Seemingly seeing how fierce Female Fighter was, this time, the two Goblins with short bows shot two arrows towards Female Fighter... but their archery was truly... well, unbearable to watch. After shooting two consecutive arrows, they fell before they even reached Female Fighter. Well, it was good that they didn't hit their own people.

Since there was no longer enough space for Goddess Priestess to stand, and Lin Yun and the others had not taken any damage, Goddess Priestess could only watch the battle nervously, hoping to heal someone if they got injured.

And the warrior could only continue to look behind him with a face... well, a look of righteous sacrifice, as if anyone dared to attack them from behind, he would immediately charge forward, even if it meant mutual destruction?????

The two attacks in quick succession made Lin Yun a little tired. He waited until three Goblins charged at him again before Lin Yun could finally recover some strength to attack again.

"D20+2+2=21, Hit."

Swinging his Lantern Staff, this time, perhaps because Lin Yun was a little tired, the hand holding the Lantern Staff trembled slightly. However, it completed the legendary "shaking spear technique." Okay, just kidding. The Lantern Staff, originally aimed at the head, due to this shake, changed its angle downwards, hitting a Goblin holding a Stone Spear that had not been injured and was thrusting its Stone Spear at Lin Yun. There was no choice, because the Goblin injured by Female Fighter's kick was still a little distance away, so he could only hit this one.

"D6+2+1=7"

He dealt relatively stable damage again. This Goblin holding a Stone Spear, which was about to charge and attack Lin Yun, was hit. But... how to put it? History always repeats itself. This Goblin, also holding a Stone Spear and charging forward, coincidentally, hit the arm of Lin Yun's hand holding the Lantern Staff again... This was quite perverse.

"D20+6=9, Failed save."
