End of the battle

"Hahahaha!!!, Do you think it's so easy to try to kill me?, Come on then!!!, Go ahead!!!, I don't want to live in a world where these beasts see me as prey!!!, Attack!!!", Uglix shouts fervently as a sensation of battle haste invades him. Now, Uglix begins to attack with ferocity. Each time he swings his bastard sword, at least five red goblins are killed. Every time he moves his shield, he can push back several red goblins with his sheer strength.

Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto watch this with wide eyes. What has happened?, Why is Uglix so strong?

They had seen Uglix's strength before and were sure that Uglix was at most comparable to a normal foot soldier, with no special attributes besides his excellent control of his own body and sword-shield.

But what Uglix is doing right now is simply something out of this world.

They can't believe it, and in just an instant, hope fills their hearts as they watch Uglix's back.

The blood of the red goblins splatters everywhere, and Uglix's back looks big and strong, like a mountain capable of stopping any enemy.

Not far away, the red goblin leader squints his eyes, his strength diminishing rapidly, and in just a few seconds, his power has reduced by more than half.

His expression is completely serious, and his heart beating intensely reveals his growing fear.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Damn it!!", the goblin leader mutters under his breath as he takes out the last two potions from his pockets. They are both red Berserk potions that strengthen his body and, thanks to his profession, also strengthen his subordinates.

The red goblin quickly drinks both potions without hesitation.

...

Clash

"Grrrr...", Uglix feels an immense increase in the power he receives. He can't help but roar like a beast as his sword slashes through the goblins in front of him. But it's not just Uglix who feels this sudden increase. The red goblins feel it too, and they quickly roar like beasts and become even more frenzied, seeming like battle-hungry madgoblins.

As several red goblins approach Uglix, Uglix slashes the air. His sword leaves a trail of white light, and the goblins in front of him are easily cut down.

Uglix moves his shield and breaks bones or crushes the heads of several red goblins.

In less than five seconds, the red goblins have almost been completely annihilated.

Apart from a few red goblins who are quickly killed by Uglix and the red goblin leader who watches Uglix with wide eyes, there is a heap of goblin corpses piled into a small mountain.

The red goblin leader feels his power diminish again, growls internally, and his body begins to tremble.

"Why?", The red goblin can't understand it. What kind of magic is this?

The fat and ugly man who smells of alcohol and dampness now appears like a god of battle. One of his slashes is enough to kill dozenzs of his subordinates, and one of his moves can create a deafening noise.

The red goblin leader can't bear it anymore. He takes a step forward, then another, and before he realizes his actions, he is already running forward.

"Kill!!", The red goblin shouts. In his eyes, there is the enemy, an enemy that makes his skin feel cold, that makes his heart beat intensely, an enemy that takes his mind back to the times when he was just an unmutated goblin.

The red goblin leader opens his eyes wide, observes this simple, fat, and ugly man, and for a moment, doubts if this man is really a human or a crossbreed between a orc and a human.

But none of that matters right now. Between life and death, the red goblin swings his great mace toward the human's head.

His great mace shatters into a bunch of splinters when the human moves his shield with such speed and force that he barely sees a slight silver blur.

Then, the same shield hits his head, ending his life. However, even before dying, the goblin leader couldn't understand why Uglix is so strong.

Uglix receives one last boost in his strength and agility along with other stats before calming down. The feeling of empowerment stops suddenly and returns to normal in the blink of an eye.

Uglix, who has killed a small army of goblins by himself, looks at the red goblin leader lying on the ground with bright eyes.

"Why can this guy activate my Parasite profession?", Uglix can't understand it. Is a red goblin an important character?

Uglix, a bit confused, after thinking about it for a few seconds, nods slightly.

Maybe this red goblin is a kind of protagonist or a kind of goblin with a great future?

Uglix thinks it might be so. His old habits force him to kneel to check the body of the red goblin leader to see if he can steal something interesting.

"Hmm..." Uglix checks the pockets of the red pants of this goblin. "What's this?", Uglix squints his eyes upon finding a small piece of paper hidden in the goblin's pockets.

Upon opening the piece of paper, which is completely wrinkled and turned into a ball, Uglix can read the written words.

"Capture the princess to offer her to the king...", simple words written by hand. Uglix licks his lips. He had heard something about a goblin princess before, but, What does all this mean?

Uglix knows that this dungeon, rather, each dungeon is a world. It's not like a video game; each dungeon is a world and has its own races, as well as its own conflicting towns.

Uglix thinks about it for a moment before shaking his head. It doesn't matter who or what the goblin princess is; what's important to him right now is collecting the reward for saving Sakura's life.

"Has it been enough?...", Before Uglix could finish his question to himself, he noticed something hanging from the right earlobe of the red goblin, a strange blood-red pendant with a drop hanging from it.

Moving quickly, Uglix's hands swiftly snatch the pendant from the red goblin's ear.

"Hmph...", A slight sensation of well-being passes through his body, his mind, somewhat relaxed, begins to tremble due to slight electric currents transmitted throughout his body. Slowly, the blood-red pendant begins to disintegrate, little by little, as if time were passing in fast motion, the blood-red pendant ends up as a pile of dust in Uglix's hands.

...

"Sir...", Before Uglix can do or say anything, he hears a voice calling him from a short distance. Turning his head, he can see a pink-haired teenager, Sakura.

"Sir. Quasimodo, that was amazing. Hahaha!", Naruto approaches, laughing out loud, and Sasuke behind him watches Uglix warily.

"Ahem, I mean, thank you for saving us, but...", Naruto wanted to continue talking; however, Uglix simply shakes his head.

"Save you?, hmph, that's right. Well, Why don't we talk about money now?", Uglix smiles, showing his white teeth.

There was a brief silence.
