Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Shirota's figure burst forward, his saber's blade looking like it was made of mist as it hissed, streaking across the air!

The speed with which he moved was fast, Vijak failing to pick up Shirota's image until it was right in front of him, the cold saber in his opponent's hand slashing down at him!

With an incredibly quick reflex and a terrified look on his face, Vijak brought both his hands in front of him and expelled all the mana he could gather in a short time, activating a skill right after!

[Flame Rupture]!

A bright flame with a disgusting amount of heat blossomed between Vijak's hands and exploded towards Shirota whose eyes remained nailed at the target with a fierce expression.

VWUUSH!

The flames roared with grandeur and when they came into contact with the mist that surrounded Shirota's saber, a burst of steam exploded outwards, distorting the visibility of the encounter between these two Tier 2 goblins.

"Woow..." Skullius muttered in awe as he witnessed this show of power.

His focus remained on the way fire was being used in such a versatile manner.

Not long after the battle against moisture and heat...

"ARRGHHHH!"

A scream was heard as Vijak shot from the gust of steam with a large gash that ran along his robes and torso, blood spraying out!

Shirota's figure bolted from the white as he sped with another glint of murderous intent flickering in his beady eyes his sword seeking to finish off Vijak!

"Second River Dance, Flow!" Shirota called as he sliced through the air with his blade laterally!

If one looked closely, his sword became covered in droplets of water that ran along its cold surface with a brisk speed!

Vijak who was backing away could only look on in horror as Shirota closed in.

'They have someone like this among them as well?' Vijak questioned in his mind as the sword approached.

Even those without the guidance of the Voice Of Worlds could recognise special classes as the attributes shown by a special class usually went over and above what a normal class could display.

Elements, unknown energies, significant surges in efficiency and power.

All these could be noted by those who didn't have guidance fields as they identified what kind of class their opponent had.

As Shirota's saber was merely inches away, a quick object hurtled through the air and planted itself between Vijak and Shirota, the latter withdrawing his attack as he backed away.

'That speed..' Shirota thought as he looked at the spear that grandly stood between him and Vijak. It had travelled at a speed faster than he had swung his saber.

A short goblin leapt up from above one of the huts and landed in front of Vijak protectively.

Many other goblins with brownish skin appeared from all directions as they surrounded Shirota, Ukur and Shmeija.

One of the goblins supported Vijak to stand up straight while another began applying a special oily mixture to his wound.

Vijak looked at the three who were surrounded with glee and began to speak triumphantly.

"Ha! I was surprised that you had a warrior like this, Ukur. I admit that besting him alone would be impossible but... look around you. You're surrounded. Furthermore, you're not the only one with a warrior who has a special class."

Vijak pointed at the short goblin which stood before him defensively.

"This should even out the fight. Attack!" Vijak shouted to which the dozens of goblins that had finished killing the Bloated River Clan members raced forward with their weapons to attack!

"Red bro, this is insane! Are you seeing this?!" Skullius said as he peeped through the hole he had made.

Red Rage was also looking attentively at the fight that was breaking out.

Five goblins rushed towards Shirota, yelling and screeching with annoying high pitched voices. As they got within two meters of him, Shirota swung his saber, the blade striking nothing but air.

Yet...

The five goblins that had rushed to attack were split in half, their blood splashing over the goblins that were behind them!

"Don't attack him you idiots, leave him to Tikika!" barked Vijak, the rest of the goblins who weren't about to die meaninglessly like the split five heading for Ukur and Shmeija!

Ukur watched the goblins as they rushed towards him and the hazy figure that was above him turned its attention to the incoming foes.

It stretched out its hands that had a texture like tree bark and mumbled what sounded like a gibberish.

A few of the goblins suddenly stopped and began quivering!

Their eyes rolled back and they fell down immediately, dead!

The others that followed were perturbed, but kept moving forward, those that had skills beginning to cast them as they approached the Clan leader and his apprentice!

The goblin whose name was Tikika pulled out his spear from the ground and whirled it in the air before he headed for Shirota who was already prepared to receive his attacks.

Skullius, as he wielded the crooked staff saw notifications pop in his vision.

[Felled prey lies before you. Would you like to extract the Essence of Null Life? Remaining time 45 seconds]

[Felled prey lies before you. Would you like to extract the Essence of Null Life? Remaining time 45 seconds]

[Felled prey.....]

....

Tktktktktktktk!

Skullius...cackled.

Who knew someone with atrocious luck could reap gains while hiding in a burning hut?!

He wielded the staff and watched as streams of energy flew from the dead bodies and rushed into his staff!

[Basic Mana Manipulation has levelled up!]

Skullius rejoiced. His inference had been correct. His mana sensing range was used for increasing his range for [Null Extraction]!

"Great! Things are looking up. At this rate, I can finally get to test what I can get from a [Permanent Random Upgrade]!" Skullius said as streams of energy kept rushing into his staff as the intense fight continued.

All he had to do was hide and collect as many NLE Points as he could, then sneak away from the goblins if those that remained afterwards were the Tier 2 monsters.

"We don't have to do a thing Red bro, can you imagine? Red bro?" Skullius said, looking beside him a moment later as he discovered that there was a blank spot were a short bone boar was missing.

"Red bro?" Skullius asked and then...

FWUUP! FWUUP! FWUUP!

BOOM!

Arrows flew from above the hut that Skullius was hiding, a burst of orange flame that flew as a small ball following after the arrows, blasting a few goblins on the battlefield!

...!

Skullius looked on the floor and saw that the short staff with the [Flame Shot] skill was gone!

Red Rage was attacking the goblins with arrows and his staff!

Skullius looked up at the ceiling in panic.

"BRO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" he screamed.
