Terrifying

The female fighter, seeing <Lin Yun> injured, her eyes turned red. She threw two consecutive punches at the axe-wielding <Goblin>, leaving the poor <Goblin> bruised and battered, collapsing to the ground.

As the <Goblin> fell, she stepped forward and threw another straight punch at the <Goblin> holding a dagger. However, this punch was a bit too hasty, and the <Goblin> with the dagger was clearly a very agile fellow. Upon discovering the female fighter's ferocity, although a little flustered, he managed to dodge her lunging punch just in time.

After a moment of daze, the <Goddess Priestess> finally understood the situation. Seeing the injured <Lin Yun>, she realized the importance of <Lin Yun>, who had only used "<Healing Divine Art>" once and was much stronger than her. So, she came behind <Lin Yun> and cast her last healing spell on him, "Oh, <Merciful Earth Mother>."

Accompanying <Goddess Priestess>'s prayer, a soft light emanated from her hands, warming <Lin Yun>'s heart. Especially his wounds, almost instantly, <Lin Yun> felt that although his body wasn't as good as before, at least it had been somewhat replenished.

His health shot up from 2 to 11, almost full.

This is a truly lucky healer, what a waste just now, such a waste. She actually healed to the maximum level in one go.

Feeling the warmth from behind, <Lin Yun> breathed a sigh of relief. No one could see his face hidden within his helmet, which was already covered in sweat. On one hand, it was from the exertion and combat over this period, causing <Lin Yun> to break a sweat. On the other hand, it had been truly, incredibly dangerous just now.

He only had two health points left. A single hit, even with the minimum damage of 1 point, would be fatal, not to mention the poison. Although their poison wasn't high, you never knew when you'd get unlucky. Just like <Lin Yun> had just failed his poison resistance, it was truly embarrassing.

So, <Goddess Priestess>'s healing was truly a shot of adrenaline for <Lin Yun>.

Seeing a flash of light behind <Lin Yun> and <Goddess Priestess>, although he didn't know what happened, he knew that this woman looked easy to bully. The only remaining <Goblin> with a dagger, drooling, lunged towards <Goddess Priestess>.

"Ah!" Seeing the <Goblin> charging, <Goddess Priestess> let out a scream, and was then hit by the <Goblin>'s dagger on her chainmail... Is it that strong? I always thought the chainmail was useless, but it's really showing its worth now.

<Lin Yun>'s expression became a little subtle. Looking at this <Goblin>, <Lin Yun> charged again, hitting it directly with his thick shield. However, this <Goblin> with the dagger was too agile. Taking advantage of its small size while <Lin Yun> was taller, it actually prostrated itself on the ground and dodged <Lin Yun>'s charge. It was almost stepped on by <Lin Yun>'s boots.

Meanwhile, seeing <Lin Yun> attacking the <Goblin> with the dagger, the effect of "<Command>" had worn off. So, the <Goblin Shaman>'s staff once again gathered lightning. Although <Lin Yun>'s "<Command>" had wasted one of the <Goblin Shaman>'s spells, he still had 3 Level 1 spells per day.

And now, it happened that he was surrounded by a bunch of guys. As for the remaining <Goblin> with the dagger, it was useless. There were enough cubs in the depths of the cave for him to make a comeback.

So, the <Goblin>'s hand gathered lightning again. He warily watched <Lin Yun> and the young warrior, ready to dodge any opportunistic attacks from them. Seeing that the <Goblin Shaman> was about to cast another spell, <Lin Yun>, who had already fallen and almost fallen, both seized the opportunity to attack the <Goblin Shaman>.

Since <Lin Yun> no longer had Level 1 spells, and <Lantern Staff> couldn't last much longer, <Lin Yun> simply attacked with his shield. The young warrior naturally thrust his sword like a dragon.

However, unexpectedly, the <Goblin Shaman> seemed to be prepared. He nimbly dodged the simultaneous attacks from <Lin Yun> and the young warrior, and even had time to let out a mocking, sharp laugh. What puzzled <Lin Yun> was why there was no hit roll this time. As <Lin Yun> was wondering, the answer appeared before him.

Perhaps because its attention was focused on <Lin Yun> and the young warrior, the <Goblin Shaman>'s concentration was not enough. Thus, just as the lightning on the wooden staff was about to reach its peak, it suddenly vanished as if the power had been cut off.

"Huh?" Let alone the young warrior, even <Lin Yun> was a bit dumbfounded.

Was this... a failed defensive spell?

Although he didn't quite understand what happened, the young warrior, seeing that the <Goblin Shaman> seemed to have failed his spell, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a ferocious smile on his face... anyone who didn't know would think this guy had turned evil.

Then, raising his sword high above his head, he fiercely chopped down on the head of the <Goblin Shaman>, who was momentarily stunned by the failed spell. Yes, it didn't bounce off the rock wall above his head. He fiercely chopped down on the <Goblin Shaman>'s head, almost splitting it in half.

The <Goblin Shaman> didn't even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground...

<Lin Yun> stared blankly at this bizarre operation. With a short sword, this guy was useless. With a long sword, he became a war god? It could be said that he truly lived up to his reputation in the original work, being the one who killed the most <Goblins> in that melee. Although the final bounce-off was a bit annoying, this guy's combat power was truly amazing.

The MVP of this whole fight didn't seem to be the female fighter, but this guy.

Seeing that the young warrior had dealt with the <Goblin Shaman>, the female fighter also fought with renewed vigor. Facing the last <Goblin>, who had approached <Goddess Priestess>, she demonstrated that chainmail was indeed useful. Then, with three consecutive kicks, she directly sent the <Goblin> flying. You dare to look at <Goddess Priestess> with lust, die.

The kicked <Goblin> slammed into the wall with a pia sound and immediately lost its breath.

"This... should be over now." The young warrior seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the ground.

"No, not yet. These <Goblins> haven't been finished off. But I'll handle these." <Lin Yun>, although also tired, looked at the experience bar on his character sheet, which was still empty. Clearly, to fill it up, he needed to kill those <Goblins>.

But... it seems even teammate kills don't count. Because the <Goblin> that the female fighter kicked to death was undoubtedly dead.

<Lin Yun> picked up a battle axe from the ground. Well, actually, <Lin Yun> preferred using battle axes, but unfortunately, <Lin Yun> didn't have any abilities in the warfare domain. Priests could only proficiently use simple weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields.

Sigh, speaking of which, could he use that background to gain proficiency with this weapon? After all, both skill proficiency and tool proficiency could be gained.

<Lin Yun> suddenly discovered a key point. Yes, a key point.

Because he wasn't proficient with the weapon, <Lin Yun>'s attack hit, theoretically, should not only have no bonus but also a penalty of 4 points. However, it didn't matter. Anyway, the remaining ones were all near-death. It was just time to harvest experience.

However, just in case, there might be other <Goblins> in the depths of the cave. So, <Lin Yun> first refueled his <Lantern Staff> with oil, and then, along with the others, headed towards the depths of the cave. According to what they had agreed upon earlier, these would be handled by <Lin Yun>.

As for the female mage who had gone into a funk... well, let's not dwell on the details. Anyway, now that <Lin Yun> said to go, she would follow. With her temporary inability to cast spells, she couldn't fight at all and could only rely on <Lin Yun> and the others. She couldn't just swing her staff around, could she?

First, here, <Giant Goblin> 300 experience, <Goblin Shaman> 400 experience. Then, because the two <Goblins> that followed the <Giant Goblin> were killed by the <Goblin Shaman>'s <Thunderclap Wave>, <Lin Yun> couldn't do anything. Then, there were four <Goblins>, possibly elites, each worth 150 experience, totaling 1300.

Then, the initial battlefield. Besides the <Goblin> that the female fighter had directly blown up, there were 9 remaining <Goblins>. Among them were two <Goblins> thrown by the <Giant Goblin> when they were being chased. One was half-dead, and the other, although its shoulder was crushed, was still alive.

So, a total of 11 <Goblins>, each worth 100 experience. The two <Goblins> thrown by the <Giant Goblin> were worth 125 each, so that's 1150 experience.

Then there was a troublesome guy. It was the one who attacked <Lin Yun> during their escape, but was instead hit by <Lin Yun>'s <Lantern Staff>, causing him to roll on the ground, burning. <Lin Yun> discovered this guy trying to attack the female fighter again and stepped on him. Because <Goblins> were coming, <Lin Yun> had directly kicked him unconscious.

If it were up to <Lin Yun>'s original plan, he would have easily killed such trash. However, what <Lin Yun> didn't expect was that before he could act, this guy was already dead.

Well, looking at the situation, it seemed that the <Giant Goblin> had stepped on this guy while passing by. Seeing that almost half of him had turned into a bloody pulp, his eyes bulging, his mouth full of blood, and his internal organs about to spill out, it could only be said that evil begets evil.

This was... not within <Lin Yun>'s expectations. Well, believe it or not, <Lin Yun> believed it. He, ah, no, <Silent>, was a lawful neutral good cleric.

Yes, yes, yes...

Then <Lin Yun> went further back. Well, it was estimated to be the place where the player adventurers had clashed with the <Goblins>. Yes, as expected, after finding the <Goblins> difficult to deal with, these guys had all run away. On the ground, there were only 3 <Goblins> that could be considered alive. And there was one unlucky player who was probably attacked by the mob, and this one was, of course, already dead.

Gaining another 300 experience. Then... <Lin Yun> stared blankly at the experience bar above. Because... with so much experience filled in, his experience bar was still about one-fifth short. This was playing on hard mode, wasn't it? It was truly realistic.
