I’m not Goblin Slayer Chapter 058

“Thump!!”

The azure missile shattered the chest of the first kobold in its path almost instantly.

Its momentum then slightly decreased, hitting the second kobold companion behind it.

“Bang!!”

The second scrawny kobold was directly blasted several meters away by the magic missile, which was like a cannonball.

Amidst screams and explosions, shredded flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

“Kobold * 2 eliminated”

“Total monsters eliminated: 52”

“First kill of a kobold, obtained title [Kobold Hunter]. This title will improve as the number of creatures of this race killed increases!”

“Current title effect: False Dragon’s Might. When you imitate a dragon’s roar at a kobold, it will cause a certain amount of mental damage to them, resulting in a certain degree of decline in the kobold’s strength and combat desire. Current effect: 10%.”

Along with this kill, text flashed before Gauss’s eyes again.

At the same time, the monster compendium in his mind’s adventurer’s manual completed the entry for kobolds.

“Monster compendium species count reached 5: Goblins, Slime, Common Skeletons, Drowned, Kobolds.”

“Randomly drawing racial talent ability and adapting it to physique for improvement.”

“Obtained ability [Instant-Dissolve Stomach] from the monster Goblin.”

“Being improved to racial talent ability [Rapid Digestion]”

Rapid Digestion (Initial Level): You can slightly accelerate the recovery speed of your stamina and magic by eating.

“Hint: [Rapid Digestion] can also be enhanced as you kill more Goblins, the source hosts.”

“Next racial talent ability draw: Monster compendium species count reaches 20.”

Gauss looked at the text flashing before his eyes.

Was it a Goblin’s ability that he drew?

He quickly thought about it.

Killing Goblins could also enhance the effect of [Rapid Digestion].

Suddenly, he missed Goblins a little.

Especially since the talent ability he got this time wasn’t bad.

Firstly, whether he practiced weapons or spells, he always consumed corresponding stamina and magic, and after consuming them, he had to wait for them to recover.

This was one of the obstacles to improving skill proficiency.

Now, Rapid Digestion could accelerate this recovery speed, which was clearly beneficial for him to embark on the path of a professional.

Although it was described as a small increase, it was also hinted later that this ability could be enhanced as he killed Goblins, and its future effects would only get better.

Moreover, Gauss also thought of a possible future path.

His core skill [Mage Armor], which he temporarily set, had growth potential, and [Rapid Digestion], the racial talent ability obtained from Goblins, also possessed “growth potential.”

In the future, when both the core skill and racial talent level up and work together, wouldn’t it achieve an effect greater than 1 plus 1 equals 2?

He could first cast a “shield” on himself, then use item food supplies or other special means of replenishment, then use the advanced talent of Rapid Digestion to quickly restore magic, and after restoring magic, he could cast more spells. If Mage Armor was weakened, he would reapply it, and if his magic ran out, he would continue to consume supplies to restore magic…

It would loop endlessly, like a spell turret.

Of course, this premise required his own magic, Mage Armor, and Rapid Digestion to grow, none of which could be missing.

The idea was good, but the path had to be walked one step at a time.

Gauss withdrew his thoughts.

The thinking just now only took a short time.

At this moment, after the two kobolds fell to the ground, other kobolds hurriedly gathered from other places.

“Woof!!!”

All of a sudden, dog barks filled the cave.

In the firelight, small monsters with lizard heads, clutching weapons, tremblingly looked towards the darkness.

They were timid and cherished their lives, but seeing their companions die tragically, they knew they had to pick up their weapons and kill the enemy.

“Leave none alive!”

The team, already geared up, had been suppressing a feeling of(depression) from crawling through the passage. Their desire for battle surged even more.

The group charged forward.

Compared to the scrawny and short kobolds, they were like unstoppable giants charging forward.

But at the moment of contact, the kobolds were defeated.

Cold blades mercilessly sliced open the kobolds’ not-so-tough, lizard-like scales, and dark red blood gushed out, splattering the ground.

In direct combat, kobolds, who were at a complete disadvantage in terms of size and weapons, naturally gained no benefit against a team of well-equipped adventurers.

In just a moment, the first wave of engaging kobolds fell to the ground.

Gauss also casually dealt with a kobold with his rapier.

Suddenly, he noticed in a dark corner not far away, on a platform in the rock wall, an elderly kobold, holding a candle, smaller than its peers, with a long, protruding lizard-like snout, was condensing red light.

“Watch out, left side!!!”

Gauss quickly called out to warn his companions.

Not long after his warning, a stream of fire breath suddenly spewed from the elevated elderly kobold’s long snout.

“Boom!!”

A fireball flew towards the group.

Fortunately, Gauss warned them in time, and everyone dodged, avoiding the fireball’s attack range.

“Bang!!”

The fireball smashed into the ground, scattering sparks like fireworks.

That was close! Everyone exclaimed in their hearts.

Although the intensity of that fireball, even if it hit the armored group, would likely not cause fatal threat, injury was certain, and no one wanted to be roasted by fire like that.

After spitting out the fire breath, the elderly kobold’s face suddenly aged a few more years, visibly turning a grayish, defeated color.

“A spellcaster?” Gauss quickly shook his head; he didn’t feel any magic fluctuations. “Perhaps just a kobold with a mutated organ?”

Seeing the elderly kobold take a deep breath, and red light surge again in its throat pouch.

This time, Gauss, having reacted, certainly wouldn’t give it another chance to use its breath attack.

Mage Hand activated, condensing into form.

Then, it pressed down on the kobold’s lizard-like long snout.

“Cough cough!”

The elderly kobold was interrupted by this sudden force pressing on its snout.

But the flames erupting in its chest and throat pouch could no longer be held back.

As terror flashed in its vertical pupils, the red light in its throat suddenly intensified!

“Bang!!!!”

Firelight exploded again in the elderly kobold’s throat, like fireworks blooming!

Its neck was directly shattered by the eruption of flames.

“Thump!”

A lizard head then smashed onto the ground from the platform, rolling far away.

Those slit-like pupils were contracted to their tightest, still retaining a hint of terror and confusion.

As if wondering how it could die from its own breath.
