My heart was pounding, my breathing felt dashed from overcoming the shock. My head was filled with the sound of messages from the system. Half-transparent blue screen appeared in front of me.
[Warning! Fatigue Level increased by 70%]
[Warning! Durability Nightshade’s Coat decreased 43%]
Damn, my armor was broken in just one strike. Plus the excruciating pain that's plaguing my body. I hurriedly activated the passive ability of Pain Absorber to relieve pain. Then I added with Heal's ability to recover wounds and restore the HP bar that was left 13%.
I got up and looked at Ogre who was smiling underestimating me. I must calm down, refrain from being provoked by him. Going forward rashly would only make my body hurt back. Lukaku can indeed be cured, but if my armor is destroyed, the durability given by the armor will be reduced drastically.
Using two armors alone, the damage to the Ogre was already terrible, especially if I fought without using armor.
The Ogre was back on the attack, its speed was completely out of my reach. Wherever I jumped to dodge, he managed to suckle in an instant. His hand swung the axe many times, I desperately twitched to dodge. However, he had already prepared a follow-up attack with a fist or kick.
I couldn't avoid his follow-up attacks and was hit frequently. My body slammed hard into the grass. My mouth spits blood.
“Heal!” myrag.
A green light shone all over the body, my HP bar was recharged. Although I was able to survive Ogre's attack, my stamina started to run out bit by bit. Fatigue level will continue to increase along with the depletion of mana I wear.
The ogre shouted out loudly, his body giving off a red aura that added to the crushed power of his attack and speed. He jumped into the air while lifting the axe with both arms. All of a sudden, he slammed the axe into my place.
Followed by a violent impact, the plains of land were instantly shattered into a huge hole that was fed by molten lava. The Ogre axe seemed to be shrouded in a black-colored aura. I can feel the immense energy pressure from that monster. He roared and jumped at me while swinging the axe again.
I hurriedly dodged, but the Ogre swiftly landed and changed the course of his attack. He chased me quickly and swung the axe right at my neck.
“Shadow Move!” I called for more skill.
My body instantly disappeared, then appeared somewhere else. The Ogre followed my direction and repeated the same attack. I used Shadow Move again to dodge and managed to survive the Ogre axe strike.
My breathing was heavy and my eyes began to shadow. I saw the system screen warning of an increase in Fatigue Level by 82%.
“Sial, if I rely on Shadow Move to dodge, I will run out of mana even before I have time to attack.”
I took advantage of the narrow lull in time to think of how to fight with this monster. In terms of strength status, I was clearly far below that Ogre. However, I remember still having some status points. I think I'll use it now.
After analyzing some of the flaws within myself, I also gave the system an order to add status points to my attributes.
“Add 10 points for STR, 15 points for INT, 10 points for VIT and 10 points for DRB!” my orders on the system.
The tring!

I saw the HP bar and the bar where I got longer, but I had to immediately refill the almost empty bar to reduce the Fatigue Level which was getting closer to 100%.
My hand nimbly took out one bottle where the medium size potion and vertical it. The bar where I was immediately filled. Then followed by vertical Energy Drink which immediately lowered my Fatigue Level to 0%.
“Fuah!” I took a deep breath. Strength filled my whole body. The dizziness in my head disappeared and both of my legs seemed to have the strength to stand firm.
I'm ready to go back to fighting that fucking Ogre.
The monster seemed to have noticed my increase in strength. His face doesn't seem to like that. He shouted again and darted forward while swinging his axe.
This time, I was able to catch the monster's movements. I parried the axe handle with my left hand, and then my right hand thrust Grasscutter at his waist.
My arm pulled Grasscutter roughly, leaving a torn wound extending across Ogre's waist. The giant roared and I immediately jumped back to keep my distance.
I saw the HP Ogre bar reduced by 30%. Maybe this is due to the influence of the title “Goblin Slayer”, so the damage I gave so very painful for a type of monster like Ogre.
The ogre increased his speed, I barely saw the direction his attack came from. Luckily, I activated Shadow Move and was able to avoid it.
True too, which bar I've grown more. Maybe this time I can be a little more extravagant using my skills.
“Shadow Move!” I called out to devote that skill again. This time instead of dodging, I moved in shadow and managed to sneak behind Ogre. The basic speed of my attributes coupled by the speed of the Shadow Move allowed me to knock out the Crimson Edge blade.
Normally, this weapon can have a paralysis effect on the monsters I like. However, a message from the system appeared above the Ogre's head.
[Warning! Monster level is too high, the paralysis effect is canceled.]
Inevitably, I had to kill him by manual means. I activated Shadow Move again and attacked him blindly. Many times I activated the skill to dodge, then attacked Ogre.
Continue like that until the limit of HP Ogre remaining 45%. When I thought I was superior to him. The ogre roared loudly until it shook the ground. Waves of invisible energy threw down my body several meters away. I ducked down while pinning both ends of my weapon to the ground so that my body would not be dragged away by the force of the waves.
Terrifying energy was pouring out of the Ogre. After that, her skin color changed to red and her hair grew longer. His body became bigger and his muscles solidified.
The post “Rage Mode” appears under his name.
In the game, the term Rage Mode is usually used to describe the abnormal status of the boss being fought. In that status, the boss will become stronger and immune to certain attacks.
I was bored with fighting in the normal mode. I cannot be discouraged. I have to defend and defeat him.
“Live a little more, I must be bi... eh?”
I was shocked to see that Ogre suddenly appeared in front of me. What kind of speed is this, I can't even see it moving. I'm not ready to dodge. Ogre's muscular arm hit my throat. Sounded ‘krek’ from my neck.
My body directly hit the ground that collapsed instantly. The destruction power was terrifying, completely far above his normal abilities.
[Warning! Durability Nightshade’s Coat decreased 82%]
One more time hit by his attack, my armor will be destroyed. I have to avoid. Come stand! Stand up!
I tried to lift my head, but it was heavy. My HP bar keeps shrinking. I muttered the Heal skill, the wound on the neck recovered. In an instant, I jumped out of the hole and avoided the blow from the Ogre's elbow.
Looking at the destruction it created, I would definitely die instantly if struck by that attack.
I can't fight with a normal status like this. I also need to improve my skills.
Right, that item I might be able to use. I opened the inventory and picked up an item called Eruption of Stamina. Earlier, I had read information from its uses.
[Item: Eruption of Stamina
Item Class: A
Type: Potions
A potion concocted by the Goblin Shaman for combat goblins. Can be used to increase all attributes by 30 within 30 seconds]
Without a second thought, I upheld the green-colored liquid item. Instantly, my body felt an overflowing energy. For a while, my entire attribute stat increased drastically.
My body trembled feeling a tickling sensation. Adrenaline spurred my whole body to work harder. It was incredible, a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement engulfed my mind. My fighting desire increased many times over.
I knew my position was weaker than that Ogre, but, my lips slowly revealed a smile that challenged the monster. Highlight my eyes looked at him, as if to say, “Go here, monkey!”
The Ogre spat, it was like it was responding to my thoughts. The giant turned towards me. His speed was indeed above mine, but thanks to the drastic increase in attributes, I was now able to see the direction of his movements.
“Shadow Move.”
I cast a skill, my body disappeared into the shadows. Ogre failed to finish me off, while I appeared behind him and slapped his back with both of my sickles. The enraged Ogre instantly turned around while raising his axe. I used the Shadow Skill again to disappear, then appeared beside it and attacked the monster's arm.
“Arrgh!” The ogre growled furiously.
I took a safe distance, Ogre's HP bar currently remaining 35%. A little more, I will reduce his HP to the remaining 30% then activate the Elimination Skill for the final finish.
I sighed, ready to use the Shadow Move ability again. However, my actions stopped due to the appearance of a system board before me.
[You get a chance to Upgrade Clairvoyane II Skill.
Accept it or not?]
“Receive,” break me up without hesitation.
[You have obtained a Super Sense Passive Skill].
“Enable Skill Super Sense,” my command.
Originally, I did not feel any changes when activating the skill. Until the moment Ogre started attacking back, I could feel where the attack was coming from. It was like being able to predict the movements of the monster. My five senses became very sensitive.
My skin could feel the change in the direction of the wind, my nose caught a much stronger and deep scent, my eyes could see things in more detail and sharp. Including Ogre, I can see his movements very clearly.
The Ogre will drop the attack from the left, I immediately put up cues to dodge. When the axe came I had already spun to the side of his body and slammed both of my weapons into his back.
The ogre shouted along with its HP bar which reduced to 27%.
This is a golden opportunity for me. After putting up the attacking horses, I activated the Elimination Skill. My gaze narrowed and I could see a straight line extending towards the monster's neck. My attack will not miss.
My feet are fast on the grass. This one chance I won't waste, I'm giving up all my strength. However, the thread suddenly broke off. I was shocked because it was supposed to be a path that could not be cut off or stopped. The Ogre suddenly turned towards me. It's a trap, he already knows I'm coming from this direction.
However, I cannot back down. I've been overpowered using the Elimination Skill. My Super Sense ability detected the coming of the fist strike from above.
Right, I can still dodge and continue my Elimination skill.
Following Super Sense's prediction, I twitched right before the Ogre blew a punch. As soon as the monster moved, he looked surprised to see me dodge first. From a sideways position I jump and spin in the air.
The guiding thread of the Elimination Skill that had broken off was now reconnected. The distance was closer, so this time no one could interrupt my attack.
Exerting all my strength, I slashed at Ogre's neck with both of my weapons.
