Still hiding behind a tree, I use magic bullet to kill off the goblins that are further away so they don’t interfere later. Having done that I head in. the cave itself is rather wide about the side of an English football pitch, it has plenty of dark area with practically no light so it’s easy to sneak up and kill them.

Going through the cave I actually stumbled on a group of hobgoblins and goblins 2 hobgoblins and 3 goblins. Quickly eliminating the weaker trio with fire bullets then equipping my sword and readying for a battle with the hobgoblin. Scoping their levels this information popped up.

Hobgoblins warrior

Level 4

elders

  Does the elders d mean that they are the respected hobgoblins in their tribe  with plenty of battle experience? So, he is a boss or a mini boss and what bosses / mini bosses’ battles lead to are better drops.

Focusing my attention on the battle with a determined expression I jump to attack. Activating the [elemental aura strike] the sword glows with a scorching red hue. Within a dozen of centimetre of me hitting him the goblins rolls to the left. Whit a growl of some sort from the goblin who just dodged my attack was conversing with his companion. Taking this opportunity, I run up behind the same goblin and pierce his back stumbling backwards the hobgoblin swings towards me without having a chance to doge he slashes my arm. Ignoring the pain, I activate [elemental aura strike] and swung for his neck chopping it clean off. This all happened it mere second’s. the other hobgoblin didn’t even have the chance to react before his companion’s head rolled below him. When I looked up to attack this one his eyes portrayed pure hatred grabbing his sword with such grip that his bare hands dripped in blood slashing his blade twice as just two blurs appeared. Hitting my leg and shoulder   barley standing I activated [fire bullet] 5 times, all of my fingertips had a wisp of flames because of the amount of magic in my hand the flames condense creating a fire ball so by luck this created a new skill

Picking the loot this is what I got.

Why does it feel like a game been patched”>?  Ignoring that I move forwards lucky the cave had no forks in paths so all I had to do was move forward and there literally were no monsters about. Walking for a good 10 mins I finely came across the end. There was a door with blood flooding out. Out of fear for Beth I opened it immediately and saw something I was not expecting. The room was filled with hobgoblins and goblin corpses alike and in the middle, was … Beth just simply siting crossed legs on a table. Seeing me she says <” oh you got here faster than expected how were the hobgoblin elders”> while still in shock a notification pop’s up.

                                                                                                                                                                           Equipping the inheritance sword just from the curiosity I wasn’t disappointed with the stats.

Inheritance sword [rare]

                                                                                                                                                                           From the smile I had because of the new stats of my weapon I tried to recompose myself and asked with a neutral face <”weren’t you supposed to be kidnaped by these goblins and hobgoblin”> with a smirk she replies <” I’m lot stronger then I look but this was so we can test you and you passed so I think we should head back.

While heading back I tried to check Beth’s info. This was the first time I tried this on a human but to my scepticism it worked.

Beth ????

 Level ????

Class ???

                                                                                                                                                                           I was completely amazed but at the same time expecting it. As in most game if your level is low you aren’t able to view high level player’s info but at the same time I didn’t know it would just show her first name.

We returned to the inn at lunch time so Beth told me that I should go to the adventure guild after I had lunch and so we separated for now.
