Chapter 14
"So we have [Iron Ore] now?"
"Yup!"
Lucrane answered with enthusiasm as I ask her. There are different types of Ore that I heard from Lucrane
<>×0([=+}> DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORE IN THIS WORLD <{+=])0×<>
Copper Ore - - - > use for weapon, and currency
Iron Ore - - - > use for weapon, and equipment
Silver Ore/ Steel Ore - - - > use for weapon, equipment, and currency
Gold Ore - - - > use for equipment, and currency
Emerald Ore - - - > use for equipment (not yet fully discover its full potential)
Platinum Ore - - - > use for equipment, and currency
Mythril Ore - - - > use for equipment, and weapon
Adamant Ore - - - > use for equipment, and weapon
(all of them except for emerald can be use for any type of items from decoration)
<>×0([=+}> +=+=+=+=[]=+=+=+=+ <{+=])0×<>
Though [Gold Ore] is much higher than [Silver Ore], the latter is much more durable when it comes to weaponry and equipment, than the former. [Gold Ore] only fetch more than a [Silver Ore] when it comes to currency. [Gold Ore] is much in use for equipment, as it could amplify [Mages] magic power, especially those with good compatibility with the said Ore.
[Emerald Ore] is the most mysterious one, so it was place below [Platinum Ore], but higher than [Gold Ore], as it could boost the user's, or wearer's power in both magic and attack, by two folds. If you are compatible with the [Emerald Ore], you will be receiving thrice the amount of boost.
[Mythril Ore] and [Adamant Ore] are basically one of the strongest Ores here in this world, even back at my world, these two are the top in every fantasy genre games, anime, shows, and Mangas.
"So how much does it fetch, if we sell a [Copper Ore] in the market?"
"Each Ore will be sold as followed"
<>×0([=+}> PRICE IF THEY WERE SOLD <{+=])0×<>
(For the Ores that was used for currency)
Copper Ore - - - > fetch for 40 copper coins each Ore
Silver Ore/ Steel Ore - - - > fetch for 30 silver coins each Ore
Gold Ore - - - > fetch for 20 gold coins each Ore
Platinum Ore - - - > fetch for 10 platinum coins each Ore
(For those Ores that aren't used for currency)
Iron Ore - - - > fetch for 10 silver coins each Ore
Emerald Ore - - - > fetch for 30 gold coins each Ore
Mythril Ore - - - > fetch for 25 platinum coins each Ore
Adamant Ore - - - > fetch for 50 platinum coins each Ore
<>×0([=+}> +=+=+=+=[]=+=+=+=+ <{+=])0×<>
"So now that we have [Copper Ore] in our tower, we can now mine. There are tall mountains at the southeast direction of the first floor, especially that we have another floor added in our tower. Mining this Ore will greatly benefit our tower even more"
"..... But in terms of equipment efficiency, then this Ore is basically useless isn't it?"
Sigh
"Like I said, useless things are only useless if you don't know how to use it, right?"
I then nodded
"Yes, in terms of power and durability, [Copper Ore] is at the bottom of the barrel, but if you have a good Smith, then that isn't a problem to worry about"
"They can do that?"
She then nodded and replied to my inquiry, as she further explain
"With good quality materials and professional creator, something like an armor made from a [Copper Ore] won't be a problem for them. That is why Smith that attain higher profession on their class, are highly valued, especially when they reached the [Hammer Bearer] profession, which is a [Rare Class] [R], or [Master Smith], which is a [Uncommon Class] [UN]"
She then added as she zoom in the said Ore. The [Copper Ore] is just basically a crystallized red-orange ball, that has a size of a two ping-pong ball combine, or maybe a little bit bigger.
"Even if we can't make this Ore into a weapon or any item, we can at least sell this at the market"
She then looked at me as she continued
"But before we could extra them from those mountains, we needed more {Stone Golems} to help us mine this Ore, so I think we should visit another tower to procure some [Summoning Scroll], to at least add some manpower before we start mining"
"Do we need to head back at the [Hesperides Towering Garden], to buy those scrolls?"
Lucrane then shook her head
"For now, we don't need to go back there, as there is a much closer place here, just 2 days trip. I think I already told you about it, when we took some additional crops for our farmland"
Trying to remember what she meant, I then realized it right after
"Oh, I remember now. Isn't that tower that is stationed at the south area?"
Lucrane then nodded as she replied
"Yes, that place is mostly focusing on farm products, and mineral deposit trading. The products they might sell might be a little bit below the standard to the [Hesperides Towering Garden], but it is still a good place to trade off"
"So when are you going out?"
She then crossed her arms and went on a deep thought, as she stared at the hologram. Right after, she then answer
"I think I'll be going now"
"Now?"
She then turn her head towards me, and replied
"Yes, I think it is much better to finish everything up today than waiting for tomorrow. I'll be going after taking our lunch"
Crossing my arms, I then stared at the hologram for a bit then, looked outside and spoke
"But before that, I would like you to order that {Goblin} to assist me, hunting some monsters in the first floor while you are gone"
I then gaze back at Lucrane which she then did the same.
"You will try hunting?"
"Yes. Right now I need more experience in combat than leveling. If I only rely on my skills and level in battle, I should be dead before entering one, so I needed to at least polish myself for any upcoming events, that maybe unexpected, or expected"
She then smile as she look at me, which made me puzzle. She then spoke in a playful, teasing tone
"So basically you wanted your mind to be occupied while I am gone? So you feel lonely without me~, oh cute"
I then frown and raise an eyebrow as I look at her
"If you wanted to daydream, do it when you are sleeping. I just merely trying to make myself useful, or use all those trainings and daily activities into good use"
She then moved her upper body a bit closer to me, and continued her teasing
"Don't be shy now, my silly little manager~ hehe hehe"
Gahh
I then pushed her face away from me, as it was getting irritating
"Just shut up will you"
"Hmph"
She then sigh. Standing for a second in silence, she then glance back at me and spoke
"I already called it back, it will be arriving any minute now"
[You have gained 3, 825 Exp for hunting {Goblin Hobbits}, and {Goblins}]
[Due to the [Shōnin no Omamori] flaw, you will be receiving 1, 913 Exp]
[You have level up]
[You have reached level 20]
"Woah, we just left it for 3 days at the first floor to hunt some monsters, but to think it gain this much, amazing"
"Truly splendid I say, we sure have picked the best one ha?"
"I guess"
After we have returned in the tower, Lucrane then commanded the {Goblin Archer}, that we brought back from our adventure outside the tower, to hunt some monsters in the first floor of this tower. It was ordered to hunt those monsters that it could easily hunt, while making sure that there number wouldn't decrease too much. It is been 3 days since it was ordered to hunt, but during those times, it was able to gain 7, 650 Exp.
While waiting for the {Goblin} to come down, we then went back to our camp, and while heading there, I then asked Lucrane
"What monsters are occupying the second floor anyway?"
"There was none"
"None? Is the second floor merely for mining purposes only?"
Lucrane then shook her head
"No, what I mean is, the second floor isn't being populated by any monster, as I didn't YET summoned any in the first place"
"Yet? Why? Is there any condition to be fulfill first, before you could summon a monster?"
"There was none, except for those special ones. I just needed to explore the whole area of the second floor first, before I try summoning a monster. I needed to know which place should I place the summoning circle first, to make sure that they could increase there population without any hindrance"
She then added as we gotten closer to our camp
"Finding a suitable place for them to be summoned will let them know which place is there strongest hold, which will let them know that the place they got summoned is something sacred, or something they needed to protect the most. This is crucial, to make sure that the summoning circle won't be destroyed. After that, they could loiter around the area to find a good place for them to build their base, from village to a strong hold, near, or further away from the summoning circle"
As we arrived at the camp, we then entered while she continued explaining further
"Exploring the area will also help me discern which place could be a good environment for them to grow, and also to make sure that they won't get too much into a brawl, which will resulted in their number declining"
The two of us then sat down at the table. Our meal today is the same meal we ate from our breakfast, so it won't be too hassle to cook after that tedious job.
"When increasing their numbers, they have to at least have a woman that will give birth right?"
Lucrane then nodded as she took the lead from the pot of the soup that she cooked
"For ever 20 male {Wolves} that is summoned per week, 2 female ones will appear"
"Only two? A gangbang?"
"Gang-what?"
"Nothing"
"Well it was to make sure that the monster that got summoned, won't populate too much, that they might destroy the ecosystem of that said area"
'So even here, science won't leave me alone like math, how wonderful'
"How about the {Goblins} then?"
"{Goblins} doesn't have any female ones, which resulted in them assaulting female from any species to breed, and increase their population, especially the {Elven} women, and Human females"
"So how do they increase their number then, if they can't find any female from other species to breed?"
"Then their number will become stagnant, and will lead to their extinction, but here in this tower, that will be different matter. Every day the summoning circle will summon 3 new {Goblins}, that is 21 new {Goblins} per week, which will help those creature to at least populate the area, without any sexual intercouse happening"
"I pity them"
"Then why not offer yourself?"
"I'm sorry but I shall decline such offer, as I'm still but a young fawn"

Gulp
"So those fella are pent up ha, what a misfortune"
"That is why {Goblins} that lived in the tower are much more aggressive towards women, than those ones that lives outside. So when confronting {Goblins} in the tower, women tend to be at the back of the group, or at the center to be protected at all cost. But becoming stronger and much more dependent, is one the most recommended action to be taken, if they wanted to lived against those lustful freaks"
Nom
Chew Chew Chew Chew
Kraaaa!
While eating, the {Goblin} that we brought along with us from the outside, then came back. It then swiftly rushed towards Lucrane, with its soundless steps, and kneeled like a Knight, waiting for its Queen to give her command.
Gulp
Lucrane then gulped her meal down, and looked at the {Goblin} and spoked
"You will be listening to that guy from here on out, but my orders will still be on the top of your list. You will be hunting the first floor together with him, so follow his command while I'm gone"
Kraaa!
The {Goblin} then replied with full of resolute
Slurp
While listening to them, I was slurping the soup. Lucrane then looked at me and spoke
"Try raiding a [Goblin Den] once or twice, but if it is too much for you to handle, then just stick on hunting those who are patrolling outside"
Gulp
"I am thinking of trying even once on raiding those [Goblin Den] for additional combat, and life experience also, but I won't dwell too much if I know I can't win against them, even I am like this, I wasn't born to be stupid"
"Good"
Slurp
"Try hunting some {Wolves} too"
Slurp
Chew Chew Chew Chew
Gulp
"Speaking of monsters, did we get another summoning circle this time?"
"{Nero Rabbits}"
Baffled, I then asked Lucrane
"Are {Nero Rabbits} much stronger than {Goblins}?"
Gulp
"No, in terms of strength, a group of {Nero Rabbits} can be overwhelm by a sheer number of {Goblins}, 2 to 1. The only way a {Nero Rabbit} can win against {Goblins}, is by grouping each other when attacking"
"Then so why a [Nero Rabbit Summoning Circle] is being given right after the tower reached level 3, than giving it much earlier?"
"Resources. {Nero Rabbits} gives more materials than a {Goblin} could. When in terms of quality drop item, till the materials that we could procure from its body, {Nero Rabbit} can be used for accessory and delicacy, whereas {Goblins} right ear is the only usable material we could take, that is useful for alchemy and nothing more"
Slurp
"I see"
The two of us then continued eating our meal, while that {Goblin} stood guard outside our camp, just for decoration and servitude porpuses.
Right after we finished our meal, Lucrane then moved out, with that, I then commanded the {Goblin} to follow me, to hunt some monster in the first floor.
...
Kraaa!!
Graaa!
Nraaa?
After we strolled around the first floor, we then saw a group of {Goblins}, loitering around an open field. 6 {Goblins} at my right, and 7 at my left.

Scrunching down so they won't notice our presence, I then summoned my sword ,and took a stance
"Take care those at the right, while I will finish those at the left"
Kraa
The {Goblin} then replied as I commanded.
'I'll ask Lucrane to give this guy a name. Calling it {Goblin} is pretty much confusing, especially when fighting against its own race'
The {Goblin} at my right then leap up and hid under the lushes of the tree's leaves, while I was slowly moving forward. Bending down, I then took a silent breath, and locked my gaze towards the front
Krraa!?
Nraaaa!!
Graaa?
"[Quick Feet]"
"[Swift Nimble]"
"[Quick Reflexes]"
"[Holy Brilliance]"
After activating 4 skills and combine them, I then
Swoosh
Dashed myself forward, and lunged towards the 7 {Goblins} at my left. Rushing forward without making any noise, I then closed the distance between them and me in an instant. Arriving at the one that is stationed behind them, I then bended a bit, grip my word's hilt, and
Kraaa-?!
"[Sharp Edge]"
"[Sword Slash]!"
Slashed its head from its neck.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Sword Slash], [Quick Feet], [Swift Nimble], [Holy Brilliance], [Sharp Edge], and [Quick Reflexes]
After killing 1 among the 7, I then rushed towards the next, without wasting any time for them to ascertain the situation, neither defend themselves. I then dash towards my right, and slash the 2nd {Goblin} in half
[Clean Strike! Mastery +2 for [Sword Slash], [Sharp Edge], and [Holy Brilliance]
I then activated [Swift Nimble], with my [Quick Reflexes] on, as I slide my right foot behind me, and turn my body to the right, as I swung my sword and beheaded the 3rd {Goblin}.
"[Sword Slash]"
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Sword Slash], [Swift Nimble], [Holy Brilliance], [Sharp Edge], and [Quick Reflexes]
Thud
Kraa?
Nraaa?
Graaa?
All of us then turned our gaze behind us, and saw the 1st {Goblin} that I just killed, fell.
'Too slow'
Kraaa!
Graaa!
All the {Goblins} then - 4 - screamed as they saw me. Not wasting anymore time for them to prepare, I then dashed forward. Activating [Quick Feet], and [Swift Nimble], and combine them, I then slashed the 2 {Goblins} upfront, diagonally from the 1st {Goblin's} right waist, till the 2nd {Goblin's} left shoulder.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Sword Slash], [Swift Nimble], [Holy Brilliance], and [Quick Reflexes]
Slam!
Thunk!
The other body of the dead {Goblins} that I killed, then stumbled down. Just like a bell in a race, I then dashed forward once again, and spin to my left and outstretched my right hand that was holding my sword, and cut the 3 rushing {Goblins} at me.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Sword Slash] and [Holy Brilliance]
Thud!
Standing as I saw there lifeless body laying on the ground, I then looked at my right, and saw that the {Goblin} we tamed was able to finish its job, much quicker than I am.
[You have gained 650 Exp for hunting {Goblins}]
[Due to the [Shōnin no Omamori] flaw, you will be receiving 325 Exp]
After everything was done, the two of us then moved on and didn't bothered collecting the spoils, as it was all the same and nothing new.
...
After we transverse the thick woods, we then came across a small village, that is being occupied by a group of {Goblins}. Hiding behind some tall bushes, just a distance from that village, me and my trusted buddy then observed the village surrounding area.
The village is being covered by long spiky logs, that protected the village from any unwanted threats. 2 [Archer Tower] was placed near the village's wooden gate. And around the village base, just below and outside the spiky logs, was a wide ditch that is covered with sharpened sticks. Thanks to my [Keen Eyesight], I could observe the whole area perfectly.
Staring at the village, I then went on deep thought, trying to find a better way to seige that village in silence, and planned infiltration.
"Do you have any idea?"
Krraaa?
"I mean, do you have any idea on how to attack that place from the inside, without alerting those guards?"
Kraaa!
"I'm on you too. If it were me, I would rather attack hat place head on but"
Kraaa!
"Yeah, if we attack that place recklessly, it should be us who will be cornered not them"
Kraaa!
"I see, but attacking the archers first will lead on them, being on high alert for any ambush, so I think that is a bad move"
Kraaa?
"Attacking the back?..... That is a good idea, but"
Kraaa?
"But that place is highly guarded by 5 {Goblins}, so I think attacking them from behind won't do us good"
Kraaa
The {Goblin} spoke in a disheartened tone
'But how the hell did the two of us communicate anyway!? Are we even communicating in the first place? The heck'
Brushing that thought away, I then continued observing the village. Inside the village, there were at least 32 {Goblins}, 4 were archers, 2 chiefs, and 1 alpha, while the remaining ones are the foot soldier.

2 {Goblins} were guarding at each side of the village gate, 2 at the front ,while 2 at the back. 9 {Goblins} were stationed at the back ,with 5 at the rear end. The {Goblin Alpha} was located at the center ,with the 2 {Goblin Chiefs}, and 4 {Goblins} guarding it. The remaining ones are roaming around the village.
The village has small tent that was made from tattered clothes, or worn out Leather Clothes, and a stick as a foundation. At the center of the village was a small wooden house, where the {Goblin Alpha} was stationed.
If I directly seige that place without any concrete plan, that would be me, asking for a confrontal suicide. But if I try sneaking my way in, those numbers will surely able to capture a glimpse of me, so doing so is out my list.
"Hmm...."
Thinking deeply, I then realized something so small yet obvious, that I felt that the answer was already in front of me, but so dumb to realized it. I then turn my gaze at the {Goblin} that was assisting me on my hunt, and stare at it. The {Goblin} then did the same
Kraaa?
"...."
Staring at it for quite some time, I then spoke
"Do you like acting?"
Kraaa?
...
(Author's POV)
Kraaa!!!
Nraaa?
Graaa?
Kraaaa!!
The tamed {Goblin} then rushed towards the gate with expression of worry and panic. The 4 {Goblins} that was stationed at the tower were then confused, and completely stunned to the situation.
Kraaa!!
The tamed {Goblin} once again yelled in distress, which made the 4 {Goblins} atop to be concern.
Kraaa?
Nraaa?
Graaa!
Decided to listen to this {Goblins} plea, the 4 {Goblins} then informed the 2 {Goblins} below, to let that {Goblin} to come in. Hearing their words, the gate guarding {Goblins} then slowly lowered the bridge, for the {Goblin} to cross. As the wooden bridge is being lowered by the 2 guarding {Goblins}, inside the village
Kraaa!
Kraaa?
Kraaa!
Kraaa!
1 of the 4 {Goblin} archers then yelled to the tamed {Goblin}, telling it that it has the permission to get in. The tamed {Goblin} then replied with enthusiasm.
Thud
As the wooden bridge was now lowered, giving a pathway for the tame {Goblin} to enter, the gate then opened. The guarding {Goblins} then took their spears out, vigilant to the surrounding area for any ambush. The tamed {Goblin} then didn't wasted anytime, and ran towards the village, as it crossed the wooden bridge.
As the tamed {Goblin} got in, all eyes of the {Goblins} inside then gaze at it, staring with their heavy stares at the unknown {Goblin}, than envaded their territory. Not caring about those heavy pressuring stare, the tamed {Goblin} then rushed towards where the {Goblin Alpha} was.
As the tamed {Goblin} was just about to reached the {Goblin Alpha}
Nraaa!
Graaa!
It was then stopped by the 4 guarding {Goblins}, with their worn out iron sword out. Pointing their almost rusted sword at the tamed {Goblin}, the tamed {Goblin} then yelled
Kraaaa!
Nraaa!
Graaa!
But even with those words, the 4 {Goblins} didn't budge neither cared
Kraaa! Kraaa!! Kraaa!
Graaa!
Nraaa!? Nraaa!
Telling them about their pending doom, the 4 {Goblins} didn't even showed any hesitation, neither fear as they keep their swords pointing at the intruder, until
Graaa?
The 5 {Goblins} then looked back, and saw their alpha coming towards them. The {Goblin Alpha} was being accompanied by 2 {Goblin Chief} at its side, holding both spear with an iron tip. The 4 {Goblins} then directly kneeled, followed by the tamed one right after.
Graa?
The alpha then asked the 4 {Goblins}, to what is this commotion all about. One of the {Goblins} then hurriedly answered
Nraaa! Nraaa! Nraaa! Nraaa
It then pointed at the intruder, who dares to trespass the area it shouldn't have. The {Goblin Alpha} then gazed at the unknown {Goblin} that barge in its place
Graaa
It then asked the tamed {Goblin} for what purpose it came to its territory. Hearing its word, the tamed {Goblin} then looked up, and spoke as it explained the situation
Kraaa!
Graaa?
Kraaa! Kraaa!
Gra.....
The tamed {Goblin} then spoke about a monster that took its people in one sweep, carrying a shiny sword that cut its comrades skins, and flesh like paper, dismantling them in the most horrifying end. The tamed {Goblin} then added that the monster walked in hind legs, smiling like a demon with pleasure and delight. Carrying with it was a sword forge from hell.
The {Goblin Alpha} wasn't yet convinced, so the tamed {Goblin} once again spoke in a hurried tone. It explained how that monster took care of its 23 men in an instant. Carving them like a wooden block, painting their blood and flesh like a brush, and even making them look like a battered Tomato
Kraaa! Kraaa! Kraaa!
Graaa? Graaa
But even such, the {Goblin Alpha} didn't care, saying that such monster won't be a problem to them, as it have 31 strong men in its command, and adding the fact that the reason they lose, was because they were merely weak, and not strong enough like them to oppose such creature.
As they becker, all the {Goblins} in the vicinity then curiously head towards where their alpha is, as the voice of the tamed {Goblin} was echoing their village. Circling the place and forgetting their task, all of the {Goblins} then tentatively listened to the discussion, that was happening before them.
Finding out that its plea is futile, the tamed {Goblin} then asked the {Goblin Alpha} for permission, to show it the picture of that said monster for them to be wary off. The {Goblin Alpha} stared at the {Goblin}, before it gave its authority to do so. The tamed {Goblin} then bowed to thank the alpha's benevolence, and hurriedly took the item from its pouch.
Taking out from the tamed {Goblin} pouch, was a small scroll
Graaa?
The {Goblin Alpha} then asked the tamed {Goblin}, for what that scroll is
Kraaa! Kraaa!
The tamed {Goblin} then spoke that this item was from an abandoned ruin it saw, not far from here. It could capture and portrait any creature it could see. Impressed, the {Goblin Alpha} then ordered the tamed {Goblin} to hand that item to it. Without further question asked, the tamed {Goblin} then handed the scroll to the alpha.
As the {Goblin Alpha} took hold the scroll, and slowly opened it
Swoossh
The tamed {Goblin} then hurriedly rushed away from the center, and dashed back
Graaa?
All the {Goblins} in the area were confused, and baffled to its action, not knowing the reason, either the cause for its sudden change. A red light then shown, as the alpha uncovered the scroll
Kraaa?
Graaa?
Hraaa?
And before everyone could analyze what is happening
BOOOM!
A loud explosion then took the lives of most of the {Goblins} in the vicinity, in one shot.
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
I think I don't need to say which country I use as a reference on this one right? Lol
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
(Vince's POV)
BOOOOM
'!!'
Hearing that loud explosion, I then rushed forward, towards the opened and defenseless gate. Rushing forward as I use [Quick Feet], [Swift Nimble], [Quick Reflexes], and [Untouched] all together, I then reached the gate where the 2 guarding {Goblins} guard. Twisting my body to the right, I then swung my sword as I aimed at the 2 {Goblins}, that didn't noticed my presence, yet
"[Sharp Edge]"
"[Holy Brilliance]"
"[Sword Slash]"
Slash!
And cut the 2 at their neck in one swift, and clean hit
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Sword Slash], [Swift Nimble], [Holy Brilliance], [Sharp Edge], and [Quick Reflexes]
After disposing the 2 off, I then dahsed forward and targeted another {Goblin}, that was guarding the gate at my left, and cut its neck. Not wasting anymore time, I then attacked the other one at my right. By sliding my right foot in a curve towards my bottom right, I then swung my sword and cut the 2nd {Goblin} at its neck, in a swift and nimbled strike, killing it without knowing it was killed.
[Clean Strike! Mastery +2 for [Sword Slash], [Swift Nimble], [Holy Brilliance], [Sharp Edge], and [Quick Reflexes]
Thud!
Slam!
After killing the 2, I then dashed towards the center of the village, as I rushed to deal with those remaining ones that are yet to be silenced, those who were lucky enough to get away from the huge explosion, that the tamed {Goblin} handed to them.
Kraaa!
Nraaa!
Graaa!
The 4 {Goblin Archers} that was stationed atop of the archer tower, then noticed me as I ran towards the center. And before they tried attacking me
Swoosh
Kraaa-!?!
Graa!?
Nraaa!!?
A swift arrow was then fired, and pierced the big mouthed {Goblin}. The other {Goblin} was then screamed in dismay.
Swoosh
Swish
Woosh
Another 3 arrows was then shot, shooting the 3 confused {Goblins} atop of the tower, killing them in their confusion.
...
[You have gained 1, 662 Exp for hunting {Goblins}]
[Due to the [Shōnin no Omamori] flaw, you will be receiving 810 Exp]
After everything was done, we were able to exterminate all the 32 {Goblins}, though the elimination wasn't silent after that loud explosion, that took care of everything, but still a result which was on our favor.
The plan was very simple, as the {Goblin} that Lucrane tamed - for unknown reason on how - was still a {Goblin} by nature, I use that to our advantage. By letting our tamed {Goblin} infiltrate the village of those {Goblins} as their comrade, they will never be able to notice anything suspicious about it. I then let it act according to our script, which is to warn the other {Goblins} about a monster that massacre its team in one swoop. I then let it carry a small sized scroll, which was inbued with explosive type of magic, [Fire Bomb].
[Fire Bomb] is a just a small explosive type of fire magic, that which will trigger upon being stepped, or opened uncautiously, after being casted. The said magic will envelop 2 meters in radius, that will incinerate anyone at 1 meter, while merely giving a heavy or fatal wound, at 2 meters. I took the scroll from the [Inventory], which was already stored inside the tower, before I was here. When the infiltration was successfully pulled, the unsuspected {Goblin} will then just needed to get closer to the target, the alpha, and hand that scroll to it. The infiltrator also needed to allure all the other {Goblins} at the center, to eliminate everyone in one sweep.
"I'm thinking of giving you a name after this, what do you think?"
I then gazed at the tamed {Goblin}, as I said that
Kraaa?
But even if this guy understands my words, I think it still lack the basic knowledge about any other things, beside the basic principles of hunting. Sighing, I then gazed back at the corpse of all those monsters, and smirked
"But not going to lie, you did a great job attracting all the {Goblins} at the center, nice one"
I then looked back at the {Goblin}, and smiled at it as I complimented it.
Kraa!
With joy, the {Goblin} then replied
"Yeah, great job!"
I then raised my hand up, as I tried giving it a high five, but the {Goblin} merely stared at my hand, puzzled to what I am doing. A bit awkward to the situation, I then voice out
"High five"
Kraaa?
"High five is something you do, when you trying to give someone a great job gesture, or congratulating them on a job well-done"
Kraaa?
"Yup, just raise your hand, and clap it on mine"
The {Goblin} then stared at its hand, then at mine then back to its, before it raised its left hand and
Clap
"High five!"
Kraaa!
.....
After that successful raid, we then continued venturing the forest. I let the {Goblin} to shout the area for any monster around for us to hunt. After a few minutes of transvering that area, that turn into hour
Kraaa! Kraaa!
The {Goblin} was then able to spot something. Slowly, I then went towards it location, and kneeled down as I observed the surrounding area. Using my [Keen Eyesight], I then saw a pack of 3 {Wolves} munching some dead body of {Goblins}. Using the tower's feature, I then tried peeking this guy's status, and what I saw was simply shocking

".... The hell is this?"
Truly flabbergasted to the situation, I then looked at the {Goblin}, that was hiding between the thick leaves of the tree, and gestured it to go back. The {Goblin} then nodded and slowly pulled back. Staring once again at the 3 {Gray Wolves}, that happily feasting at the dead corpse of {Goblins} they hunted, I then silently back out to not disturb those creature's meal, before it will be my next.
As we head back to the ground floor of this tower, I then directly headed straight to the control room, as I was curious to was is happening to the {Gray Wolves} in this tower, now after seeing those {Wolves} that was hunting their meal.
As I got there, I then directly operated the control pillar. I then zoomed in the area where those {Gray Wolves} were placed and summoned. Remembering the area were Lucrane and I stationed them, I was then able to find them. I then clicked those dots that represents them, and

And what I saw was truly bewildering, that I could only frown as I stared at it. The matter is truly concerning to the point I was left in blank. It's almost 3 weeks by now that these {Gray Wolves} has been summoned in the first floor of our tower. 2 weeks they were only able to achieve a great growth on them, and gained some good experience, an exception was their alpha's abnormality, which it reached twice the amount than the others. But after leaving them another week when we ventured outside the tower, the {Gray Wolves} growth was multipled by 2 in those recent times, whereas their alpha was able to do it thrice the said amount.
"How troubling"
This is indeed troubling one. Lucrane left these guys alone for them to grow, just to see if they could contribute to the tower's future development, but seeing this now, this more than just a development.
".....? What is that?"
As I keep staring at the [Status Screen] of these monsters, I then noticed something from their alpha. It has a (>) beside its race status, which is something that I don't know about. (>) is something like an extention of the status of an item and monster, like how they hid some more specific, and special features, like those items and monsters have, but this is my first time seeing one near a race status.
[Race: Wolf]> (clicked)
Clicking on it as I was curious to what kind of secret this {Gray Wolf Alpha} hid, left me stun, and completely blank, as I stood there with my mouth agape, and my eyes completely peel. Keeping my gaze at the word it describe repetitively, I then took a deep breath, and turn back as I headed back to the camp.
As Lucrane isn't here yet, the decision will fall on me, so whether I will hunt this monster down or not, will be on me, but
"Lv 78 ha, that is four times much higher than mine, even though we have the same amount of time living here, how unfair"
So hunting it down is already out of the list. Walking towards the camp, I then went on a deep thought. Analyzing the pros and cons of the situation, before making a decisive decision. I didn't saw this guy yet, but if we could take it, then we are basically improve our tower's defense
"If it can be tame"
I don't know how Lucrane tamed that {Goblin}, but a {Goblin} and {Wolf} are two different species of monsters, the latter is much stronger than the former. But if we could successfully make it happen, then we just hit the mother load.
As I arrived at the camp, I then sat down at the chair as I took it outside. Sitting there thinking, I then called the {Goblin}
"Hey-....."
Stopping midway, as I realized that if I keep calling this {Goblin} just "Hey" or "{Goblin}", is truly annoying to hear. Pounding about it
Kraaa?
"..."
It then arrived before me. Staring at it, I then kneeled down and spoke
"Yoichi"
Kraaa?
"For now, I will temporarily call you Yoichi"
Kraa?
"Oh its a name from a famous archer back at the country of Japan, who is also a very well-known samurai, *Nasu no Yoichi, do you like it?"
Kraaa!
It then- I mean, Yoichi then happily replied, which brought a smile on me
Right after that, I then discussed to Yoichi that we should stalk those {Gray Wolves} in the first floor. I needed information about them, how they move, how they hunt, who hunts, who are the one at the top of their food chain, how does the alpha commands them, how strong they are in a total combat, how coordinated they are, how do they coordinate, and basically every information I need from them. In this world, CCTV is yet to be invented, also phones, which will make us to do the most, in ancient way of gathering information, stalking.
As we got back to the first floor, I then asked Yoichi to scout the area for any monsters that we might stumbled into. Before we went back to the first floor, I tried memorizing the place where those {Wolves} were, and also the bases that are build near it.
Silently walking forward, and vigilantly observing the surrounding area as we crossed the thick forest
Kraaa
I then looked up, as Yoichi just then found something. Heading towards where it was, without making any loud noises, I then arrived at its side. Yoichi was just above me, while I was hiding behind the thick bushes.
Rustle Rustle Rustle
Sniff Sniff Sniff
Snarl
Growl
And what Yoichi spotted was a group of 4 {Gray Wolves}
..

[Vitality: 31, 500]
[Exp: 17, 000/ 21, 700]
The {Wolves} was scouting the area, thankfully, I was able to watched some discovery Channel about wildlife, so I was able to cover myself with a thick leaves, that I made to become look like a jacket. That said leaf jacket was brushed with some blood from the dead {Goblins}, that we killed back at the village.
I wore the leaf jacket above my [Steel Armor], which wa, s also above a [Leather Armor]. And piling those 3 up together made me a felt a little bit hot. My walking speed wasn't hinder as the [Steel Armor] is quite light, and my body is already a bit customed for heavy objects. So walking won't be a problem to me
With those preparations complete, I was able to hide my scent away from those beast. Yoichi has [Camouflage], so he could easily hide himself from those creatures sensitive nose.
Kraaa?
I then glance up as Yoichi called me out, I then saw him readying his bow as he place an arrow in it, and pointed its tip at the {Gray Wolves}. Yoichi then looked at me, which I then shook my head, gesturing not to do it. I then gestured Yoichi by making a curved line with my index finger, that we will just encircle them, and move out.
Understanding my words, Yoichi the brought his arrow down and leap towards the next tree. Thankfully Yoichi is a smart one if not, I should be dead by now. As I was about to leave the area
Kraaa!
Nraaa!
Arfff!
Grrrrr!
An unexpected confrontation between a group of {Goblins} and the 4 {Gray Wolves} then fatedly came. Both side then started taking their stance, and glance at their enemy. Trying not to get in the way of their fight I then decided to hurriedly take my leave. Silently leaving the area, the two of us then move out.
As we continued transversing the forest, we keep stumbling a group of {Gray Wolves} in our way, sometimes they group in by 7 or by 4, sometimes there were merely 2 or 1, but the continuation of unexpected collision of our path with them, was implying that we are getting near to their base. And my undercover wasn't yet blown.
'I should have subscribed to their channel'
Moving forward, we then continued crossing the thick forest.
.....
Rustle Rustle Rustle
Grrrrr
'Tsk! Another pack'
I cursed. It's been an hour or so since we tried finidhg their base, but even how long we tried, we can't even took a glimpse of their base. I was sure that I really memorize the pathway towards their base, but how come that we weren't even just a distance close from it? Yoichi wasn't even able to see, even the tip of their base.
Walking further, I was thinking that we should head back, as my guts is telling me that their is something amiss in this situation. Feeling the uncomfortable feeling that my skin and chest is beating, I then stopped and called Yoichi out
"Yoichi"
Kraaa?
He then stopped atop of a tree's branch and listened to me
"We should head back now, I got a bad feeling about this"
"You should have thought that, long before you stepped inside my territory, like a cockroach"
'!?'
I then hurriedly summoned my [Mythril Knight Sword], and took my stance.
"Yoichi! Don't move, don't answer! Just hide!"
I commanded, and seeing that he didn't replied, means he was able to hid itself atop of those trees.
Grrrrrrr!!
Grrrrr!
Grrrr! Arff! Arff!
Growwlll!! Arf! Arf!
Bark! Bark! Bark!
I then gaze at my left and right, and realized that I was already surrounded from all side. Snarling and rustling sound then closely came at me, as the {Gray Wolves} then encircled me
"Fuck"
"Such simple yet effective plan, but look at it, we were able to capture a pest"
I then glance upfront and saw a big {Gray Wolf}. It was twice the height of the other {Gray Wolf}, and its fur is coated in a bit more grayish color, with a hint of silver
[Gray Wolf Alpha]
[Name: Iratus Lupus]
[Lv 78]
[Vitality: 69, 100]
[Exp: 36, 710/ 43, 200]
Gulp
'This fucker can talk!?'
"I don't know if you are courageous or an idiot, maybe both, seeing how you came here with such light, and weak equipment, how splendid"
Bark! Bark! Bark!
Arf! Art! Arf!
Grrrrr!
"S-so you can talk ha, I thought you know how to play dead, amazing"
"Sarcastic aren't we? Well, a cornered Rabbit tend to be agitated, when they are on the tight rope"
'I knew it, this guy is the same, but I need more evidence'
A bit scared I then spoke
"Just asking before I get ravish by you people but, what brand of Dog food do you like? I can try getting it exchange for my life, how about it?"
Grrrrrr!
'Shit'
I think I just piss this guy off, as it gritted its teeth with irritation, and bare its sharp claw, and gazed at me with ferocity
"Speak again with that sharp tongue of yours, and that will be your last!"
'And that hit the coffin, right there folks'
Trying to joke my way around, as I was trying to sway my thought away from the gutter of fear, as I tried calming myself down.
Bark! Bark! Bark!
Snarrrll!
Growwllll!
Grrrrrr!!
Arf! Arf! Arf!
Gulp
Gulping down my very own saliva down, I then took a deep breath and
"Yoichi! Run!"
Kraaaa!
"[Untouched]!"
I then dashed from behind and rushed forward, as I gave Yoichi the signal. The nimble archer then jumped from branch to the other
"Get them!"
As that big bad {Wolf} then commanded, all the {Wolves} in the area then crashed at me. Those who were near me directly jumped at me, as they opened their wide mouth, but
Snap!
Swoosh
Slashh!
Champ!
But even how many they were, none of them were able to touch me, thanks to my [Untcouhed] skill that I hurriedly activated. [Untouched] skill from the [Alors j'étais] armor gives me 30 seconds of [Invasion], and 20% boost in my speed.
I then envoke [Feather Touch], [Swift Nimble], [Quick Feet], and [Quick Reflexes], which speed myself up even more, as I escaped from those beast claws and fangs
[Untouched] has been used]
[Invasion] has been activated for 30 seconds]

Running as fast as I could, all the {Gray Wolves} then rushingly chasing me
"Don't let them get away!"
As it yelled that, all the {Gray Wolves} then started speeding up. Glancing behind me, I then saw the {Gray Wolf Alpha} steadily closing the distance between me and it.
'Fuck!'
Seeing that, I then halted and bended my knee, and
"[Swift Nimble]"
"[Quick Feet]"
Swoosh
Propelled myself forward
[Clean Combo! Mastery +2 [Swift Nimble], [Quick Feet], and [Quick Reflexes]
"Run run run run run, like a coward!"
"Shut up Wol*verine! And fuck you!"
Grrrrr! Awoooo~!
Gazing behind again, that alpha then howled as it stopped, and something like red dust or the likes, emitted from its giant body, and what comes after was a pure 'I am running away from a giant monkey in a temple' scenario, as all the {Gray Wolves} that heard its howl, was now rushing at me with pure hostility, and instinct of a predator towards its prey
"Dammit"
Gritting my teeth, I then fasten myself, and run as fast a I could.
[Invasion] has been di-activated]
Passing through the deep forest back to the floor below, my [Invasion] buff was then gone
"[Untouched]"
[Untouched] has been used]
[Invasion] has been activated for 30 seconds]
I then summoned an [Iron Gauntlet], and wore them both at my hands, to add additional boost in my speed
[5% weight reduction for wearing [Iron Armor]
I then bended myself ones again and pushed myself forward, as I combined [Swift Nimble], [Quick Feet], and [Quick Reflexes]
[Clean Combo! Mastery +2 for [Swift Nimble], [Quick Feet], and [Quick Reflexes]
Dashing forward, I then summoned 2 small scroll - [Magic Scroll] - and throw it behind me
"Get away!"
The alpha yelled, as it realized what those scroll was
Boom! Bang!
"Tsk! Smart ass"
Though I was disappointed that I couldn't even scratch their alpha, nor reducing their number, or even hindering them even a seconds, but thanks to that explosion, I was able to give myself a bit distance from them, as all the {Wolves} who heard their alpha's command, slowed down to avoid that explosion.
Swoosh
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
This big bad wolf jump from the smoke of the explosion, and chase our Boi from there
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
Rustle Rustle Rustle Rustle Rustle
Looking behind me, as I heard that sudden rustling sound that was closing behind me, I then saw that {Wolf} chasing me with its fang bare, wearing a grim expression
"I will make sure your head will be a good decoration for my house!"
"Oh come on! If a man rejected you, get over with it, and accept it!"
"Keep talking little rat!"
Rustle Rustle Rustle Rustle Rustle
Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap
Rushing forward, I then swiftly slid my left foot to slow me down, and turn to my right as I summoned my sword, and swung it.
The {Gra Wolf Alpha} then flexibly dodge my sudden attack, as it jump to the side. Using that opportunity, I then pushed myself using my right foot, and dash forward. Combining [Swift Nimble], [Quick Feet], and [Quick Reflexes], I then rushed forward
[Clean Combo! Mastery +2 [Swift Nimble], [Quick Feet], and [Quick Reflexes]
"You dare!"
It yell at me. As I took a glimpse at my right, I then saw it jumped towards me.
"Holy fuck!?"
Nothing caring about it anymore, I then keep rushing forward.
"Yoichi! Now!"
Kraaaa!
Swoosh!
A swift, and powerful arrow was then shot from between a thick lushes of leaves, atop of tree.
"Again!"
Swoosh
Not looking behind me, I keep dashing forward. As I got near a tall tree upfront, I then jump up and continued on, until I reached the top. I the started leaping from there towards the other, as I tried distancing myself from those hungry beast.

*Out of the legendary archers in Japan, Nasu no Yoichi is one of the most famous. He was a samurai and lived between 1169 – 1232.
During his life, he fought in various battles, but the battle that made him one of the legendary archers was the Battle of Yashima where with just one shot he shot down a fan on a moving boat that the enemy had put on a pole daring the Minamoto clan, who he was fighting alongside, to shoot.
Not going to lie, I was thinking of translating cute monster or cute petite monster but can't find any names that would describe it, so sad
