When these slur of notifications showed in Adrian’s vision he sighed and laid on the ground because his stamina bar is already in the red. He was smiling as he gazed at the dungeon’s ceiling. It was an electrifying feeling when he used the last skill for the sword Psyche Armament.

It was Adrian’s last attempt since if he prolonged the battle any longer his stamina will plummet and then his Satiety will go down further and he would lose health even just by walking. Now he knows why this skill costed 50 essences just to activate. The skill itself was devastating in terms of damage especially the area of effect is pretty useful during swarms of enemies.
Adrian rose up from the ground when his stamina bar was recovered to almost 30% and proceeded to take all of the loot that he previously did not pay attention to. He picked up tons of coins and even managed to amount about 105 gold pieces which was a sizeable amount. If a raid party were to equally distribute the gold collected for twenty persons since a maximum of twenty people could enter this dungeon scenario then they would be given a measly 5 gold in return for a lot of work. This is one of the reasons that players usually avoid farming humanoid enemies or NPCs because they drop items in smaller amounts compared to beastlike monsters.
The goblin recruits dropped some armors and weapons but it was mostly of common and uncommon quality which was useless in Adrian’s eyes since players at this stage had at least 1 or two rare quality items. What caught his eye though was the items that each boss monster dropped. Each boss monster dropped an item and a skill book each. It was due to the first explorer reward that increased the odds of dropping items.
The goblin ranger dropped a rare quality crossbow and the skill book for Knockback Arrow which is also rare quality. The goblin mage dropped a rare quality robe and a rare quality skill book for Chain Lightning. The most prized of all that Adrian has looted was an epic quality broadsword and an epic quality skill book for Stampede which is for warriors. Adrian looked at the description for each item and weapon while he was still resting.

Adrian checked the skill War Cry and was amazed because with this skill embedded in the broadsword its value would become higher.

A skill that not only doubles the user’s stats for ten seconds but also his allies is very useful especially for those who loves to be in hunting parties. Ten seconds may not be a lot of time from a non-gamers perspective but for professional gamers or any gaming enthusiast would say that every second is precious because it only takes a split second for someone to turn the tides of battle in their favor. He then looked at the skill books descriptions.

Adrian was unable to learn two of the three skillbooks that he has obtained but he was not disheartened because when he picked the Daemos race, he already knew the pros and cons. Although he could use the Knockback Arrow skillbook, it could only be used when he summoned the Bow Psyche Armament which would be a waste so he decided to just sell the three weapons and the three skillbooks. He would also check if he could trade them to other players. Now that he has seen all his material gains, he decided to take a look at his newly acquired title.
Title: Goblin Slayer
Description: So you like killing goblin’s huh!
Effect: Deal 50% more damage when damaging goblins or goblin related enemies. You are considered the mortal enemy for all of goblin kind. You will be hated by all Goblin NPCs and they would choose to kill you rather than help you.
This title can be upgraded.
Adrian did not know whether to laugh or cry because the title’s only benefit is the additional damage towards goblin type monsters while the rest is more of a punishment. The only silver lining is that the title could be upgraded and it might decrease or erase the downsides of the title. He could only sigh and give up being friends with goblins in this life.
Adrian then walked towards the cage where the prisoners were being kept. When Adrian was in front of the cage, instead of being relieved the prisoners were acting all scared and some even peed themselves. They muttering words to Adrian while kneeling in the ground.
“Ple..ease Sir.. spare us. Do not hurt us please!” one of the girls who was still able to speak begged.
“Do I look that terrifying?” was the thought that floated on Adrian’s mind as he has completely forgotten that his Glamour was dispelled and he currently looks like a demon.
As he was pondering why the prisoners were afraid of him, his soulbounds gathered towards him and as if pouring more water in a breaking dam, some prisoners fainted because of Sirius and Kanlaon’s presence. The two soulbound’s presence was the final nail on the coffin for some of the prisoner’s to retain their consciousness.
