Surrounding Regal are a pile of corpses and the once greenish scenery from a painting now looks like a carnage from hell.
Mixture of green blood and soil of mangle flesh of goblins.
But none of it matters.
This creature still has a green skin with random warts all over their body. Wearing big crude armor that looks like random chunks of metal compile together for them to wear armor.
It doesn't end here the scary looking goblins have a commander. A goblin taller than the goblins that's comparable to orc because of their 3 meter height, with a weapon of a club some of them a big stone hammer. The commander goblin have a height of four meters with beast skin hide as armor holding two one handed axe each arm. The axe have a length of 6 feet each the end of the axe are chipped but still menacing.
'Now this is what I call a proper goblin army, but isn't the goblin way more scarier and bigger than I knew of?' Regal thought, the endless army and the big bosses are coming out.
Each goblin knight the one wearing crude lumps of armor range from level 180-220.
'Compare the normal goblins that I'm dealing with isn't this a pretty big leap? Can't catch a break?' Regal thought to himself but he never stopped fighting.
The Goblin general is still far away from Regal but because of the disturbance and the small normal goblins gave way to the three meter goblin elites. And even from a far the huge figure of the Gob general can be seen extremely eye catching, like an apple on a basket full of orange.
'Damn it! There's no end to them and the stronger once are coming' While looking around Regal realized that he can't really run. Well at first he didn't even consider while fighting the small goblins no matter how many they are.
'So I have no choice but to fight till the end.' He thought while fighting thanks to the OP skill and his stats that's through the roof that he didn't even have the time to calculate but he feel pretty strong. But no matter how strong the body if the mind and will are not in sync something will bound to go wrong.
Like he is now even if he can kill many with a single swing, regenerate the damage because high vitality, his mental faculties can't keep up. The skill and he himself being calm at the situation Regal was still being drained from constant thinking dodging and fighting.
With little to no experience he has in battle even with strong body for some strange reason, from a third person's perspective he look so sloppy but because of his overpowered body he can make up for the unrefined movements.
One slash multiple enemy dead, but each goblin he kill another replace the previous so the bodies just keep stacking and the arrow are not ending.
Rage building up and resentment at the old man who left him here in this whatever trial.
While this resentment for the old man is building up he didn't noticed that every movement and energy he consumed are getting less and less. The more he fight with stamina and mental strength in mind he spend less.
...
In another unknown location the Old man the same as the one they met in the corridor opened his eyes gold rays of light shining.
"He is indeed a bit special, the same as him in his majesty's youth. Is this the fated encounter that his majesty told me about? After so many years of waiting. Young prince sorry for testing you, my mind have gone senile from age and I want to see if you can handle the burden of what you will carry for us." Muttering while closing his eyes again.
...
The Elite gobs started moving rushing at him with orderly fashion, unlike the normal goblins rushing from all direction.
A strike from Regal's side the stone hammer wanting to smash him to pulp, but thanks to perception and the calmness skill he didn't get flustered and ducked. After barely avoiding the strike by ducking and rolling to the ground without giving him a chance to regain his balance, another two strike this time he still saw it. But his body cannot follow his perceptivity in his surroundings.
Crossing his arm around his chest Regal faced the strike from the massive log club while jumping to the side which avoided the other strike coming from the left side.
BANG!
Regal got thrown to the side by the sheer strength of the Elite gob, he can feel the pain which will make anyone face that attack head on be smashed into a pulp, of course that's what he only think. Thanks to the endless hostile aura or mobs around him he can tank those kind of shots.
'It hurts and this annoying goblins, how can I fight the commander if I can't even get through him. Time to go for broke' This thought takes a minute to describe but this all happened in an instant from him dodging and smashing. Thanks to the elite goblin interference the smaller normal goblins fall back. Not wanting to join the prey of their elites like enjoying a show surrounding Regal six Elite gobs.
This doesn't reduce their hostility and bloodlust for Regal. So many of their kind slaughtered by this man with their red eyes still watching coldly, this is only the case for the melee gobs. The archer gobs still didn't stop attacking raining arrows from time to time. The elite gobs because of their armor and thick green skin they ignore the shabby arrow that looked like a toothpick to them. The General gob only looking at the battlefield coldly and directing his army with hand signs, and a few low squeaking voice of a menacing gob from here and there. Seemingly communicating with his army.

Having this happen to him he retreated not wanting to catch the blow and fighting for his life Regal planned on putting all of his stats on strength and agility like last time. But before he could do it this time he heard a voice.
[Put all of it into intelligence and you will pass this crisis].
Regal was shocked for a moment finding the source of the voice but he didn't see it anyone in front of him was the silent seemingly endless grassy field, while on his back were the Elite gobs and the seemingly endless goblin armies.
'Who's that intelligence how will that help me in my current circumstances I'm fighting not reading a book I need strength.' Regal thought in his mind while still running thanks to the high vitality his body is recovering the wounds visibly healing for the naked eyes to see.
Put 160 on strength and 101 on agility and said in his mind while pressing the non-existent button.
[Put the all of it in Intelligence or face the consequences after wards].
The voice rang out again. But this time the emotionless voice sounds familiar to him.
'I've heard this before on my awakening it's this voice!' Now he remembered that if it wasn't for this voice that saved him multiple times god knows why he would be deader than dead.
Still facing a crisis and facing an unknown risk he decided to listen to the voice.
'Put all 261 stats into intelligence!' Regal muttered and click the confirm button. But this time the voice didn't rang out.
After a fresh sensation from his brain, his mind whose tired from thinking multiple cases relax. Like he had grown another brain he calmed down, more thoughts coming into him more possibilities that he haven't think of before. And feeling like he gained more strength this time than he added into strength and agility.
'Weird why does it feel like I'm stronger way way stronger than before? I put it into intelligence isn't it for thinking and mind power only damn it this wouldn't be hard if I have a skill which I can activate.' Still lamenting on this fact, but because of his new found confidence that he can face the Elite gob with ease he stop running, change direction and charge at the goblin army.
The goblins chasing after Regal was stunned for a moment by the sudden turn of events.
Even the Gob General was stunned for a moment but regain the ferociousness and command the goblins to charged. Regal still wasn't sure why by putting intelligence he found his self much stronger but decided to test it out.
'I got away from their encirclement anyways, if what my gut feeling is right and I'm stronger this will be easy.' With that in mind he face the incoming 3 meter Elite gob in front of him. Smashing at him downward with the stone hammer with a little sidestep only a feet away from him like he blinked didn't hinder his charge.
'I'm faster? I'm definitely fast. I can see all the incoming attacks but my body can't respond earlier I should think about it later.' Facing the foot of the Elite gob he slash the ankle of the goblin wanting to wound the it. But to surprise he slashed all the way through like no resistance at all.
Arrrrgggg!
The loud scream of the Elite gob rang out and all the other goblins were startled some small goblins even stepped back from fear. The other Elite gobs stopped their track. Green blood sprayed darker than the light color of the grass dying this land with more blood.
'It's surprisingly not hard? I haven't tried attacking Elite gob, but are they this weak?' Regal was also confused but that's only a passing thought. His mind works faster now like a gun with another bullet loaded. He decided to finish and behead the Elite gob by climbing at the monster's chest and jumping down while the scythe is embedded at the gobs neck.
Whooosh!
Blood splatted everywhere and the cry of the Elite gob died down with his head separated from the body.
This all happen in a matter of two seconds, only after this happened that the other Elite gob recover and angry roars that shook one's eardrums.
'Surprisingly easy, I'll question what happen to me later but I'm badass, it isn't that hard now all of you are exp hehehehehe' With a grin and a new confounded confidence he dashed to another goblin for a killing spree, leaving and his path a pile of corpses and a gore.
