The day finally came to raid the goblin tribe. Drake had already briefed Aria about their new adventure the previous day so give her time to prepare for the adventure. He gave her general details about the goblin tribe.

Normally, many details were unnecessary, but he did it as an opportunity for her. As for whether she could grab it, that was up to her.

But after he met with her mother, Maria, he knew that Maria understood his thoughts. He appreciated that she didn’t tell her daughter the hidden meaning behind his words. But from his interactions with her, understood that she also wanted her daughter to become his follower but respected his conditions.

She would be a great help in helping him acquire Aria. Moreover, her loyalty to him already suggested that as long as he got the daughter, the mother would come as well.

Maria Wildfang

Loyalty: 70 (Reliable)

That’s why he introduced so many details to them. He knew they would discuss it together and then Maria could subtly give her daughters some clues. Of course, he didn’t tell either of them about the level 1 goblin leader. There was no need to panic them, otherwise, his whole plan would fail.

Drake logged in to the game. He was so excited that he woke up much earlier, had breakfast, and quickly hopped into the game.

The reason for his excitement was justified. There were thousands of goblins in the tribe and they were all walking Fog Coins and Eldritch Points. The twins reckoned the last night one more time as previously Ayame didn’t have too much time to do it properly.

They found out that the outer periphery alone had more than fifteen thousand goblins. The inner periphery had more than two thousand goblins. Last, the core part had hundreds of goblins including the level 2 goblin leader. Yes, it leveled up once in the meantime after their previous encounter.

There were roughly eighteen thousand goblins in the entire tribe. They were more than enough to drop heaps of loot. Plus there was also the loot collected by them. Moreover, after he killed the goblin leader, there would be another good monster in the Training Room.

After he came outside of the mansion, the twins were already waiting for him. They looked different as they had changed their attire. They were wearing the new early stage, Extraordinary leather armor, which they had commissioned in the capital at a high price, made from the hide of the toad boss monster.

The armor covered more skin than their previous armor but somehow was more sexy than before. The armor was identical. It consisted of a mask that covered their lower face. Arm guards and chest guards showed off her shoulder bone and shoulders as well as the navel from below, while at the same time showing off her upper curves even if they were hidden. Finally, the leg guards accentuated her lower curves and covered their hips and legs while being tight enough to highlight their shape. With an identical high ponytail, long enough to reach their hips, they looked battle-hardened maidens ready for any fight.

Even after three days of hunting monsters outside the territory, no one knew that they had become Extraordinary. They had purchased special rings from the shop that hid their actual level from anyone below the Transcendent (Sequence 8).

They left the mansion for the meeting place where he used to meet Aria to pick her up. Yumi drove the RV with Drake and Ayame was behind them in the truck with the trailer attached behind it. Drake was not sure about how much loot he would get from the goblin tribe, that’s why, he took the truck and trailer too with him.

Moreover, the trailer contained some of the poisons he obtained from the Poison Valley.

Speaking of Poison Valley, he made a huge profit from there. After removing Aria’s share and adding the Fog Coins he gained after selling the Purple-Spotted Ivy leaves, just the Fog Coins that he made were more than three thousand.

He had kept the various Extraordinary loot he got safely. Only the toad hide for the twins' armors and the snake’s fangs for Ayame’s daggers were used who gave the commision for her daggers together with the armors. Yumi didn’t have a good material for Extraordinary level Bow, so she had to purchase one from the capital.

The rest loot he got was the venom glands from various weak monsters killed by them and various poisonous herbs they collected on the way. They were too many and could be used to deal with many troublesome enemies too strong to fight by poisoning them.

They reached the location and picked up Aria. Aria looked cheerful, ready to go on a new adventure with Drake. She hopped in the RV, but when she saw Yumi in the RV, her excitement cooled down for a bit.

Drake greeted her, who greeted him back. They left for the goblin tribe.

In a few hours, they reached their destination. They parked their vehicles at secured positions and got off.

When they gathered together, Aria saw the twins properly. She thought they looked different. Not because of their change of attire, but because of something else. Her beastly instincts were screaming danger whenever she looked at them, but couldn’t pinpoint what had changed.

Then she looked at Drake. He looked the same, but he had an extra weapon on his waist. That was a Mortal gun.

He wanted to purchase a gun from the shop for so long but was holding it off because of a shortage of points. When he got enough points, he purchased it immediately. There were very limited guns in his territory, but he heard that some territories had them but were regulated like grenades and other hot weapons.

They could potentially seriously injure or even kill an Extraordinary, so they were strictly regulated and were banned from being used by the general public including explorers.

He had seen his family and their subordinates use guns many times, so he wanted to get his own in the game.

Just to use the gun properly, he had practiced in the Training Room the previous three days whenever he had time. He only focused on the Firearms and Perception Masteries. The first one was obviously for increasing his proficiency with guns.

As for the second one, there were two reasons for it. It helped improve his reaction time. But that was not the main reason. As long as he leveled up his Perception Mastery to the Advanced stage, he would unlock Bullet Time.

When he found out about that, he made it his life mission to reach the Advanced Stage of Perception Mastery as quickly as possible.

Drake and the others checked their weapons and decided to start hunting from the outer periphery. They decided to go separately to kill the goblins in different directions. The twins were worried but he reassured them that he was much stronger than before and the goblins in the outer periphery were too weak.

They decided to meet back in an hour. All of them went in separate directions.

Drake walked for some time, till he saw some makeshift huts with many goblins in them. He calmly walked towards them. They finally noticed him when he was a few meters of distance from them.

“Growl, food.”

“Food.”

“Growl, food is coming.”

All the goblins got excited that food was walking towards them on his initiative. More than twenty goblins picked up their weapons and ran towards him.

Drake calmly walked towards them with a smile. He didn’t think they were worth getting angry.

They attacked him with all types of weapons, like clubs, swords, spears, etc, but all were either dodged or parried by him effortlessly due to his Perception Mastery. A few goblins shot arrows towards his head, but with slight movements of his head, he dodged all.

The goblins got angry that all their attacks were useless against him. They attacked more ferociously but for naught. Drake decided to end the play and killed the goblins quickly by slicing off their necks.

He only got six fog coins and one Corrupted Goblin Blood Essence from them. He searched their huts. They were too messy with a revolting odor.

Many half-eaten body parts were lying here and there. He looked around and only found a few fog coins in all of the huts combined.

For the next hour, Drake only killed more than a hundred goblins. Most of his time was wasted on traveling and searching the huts, otherwise the number would be higher.

He returned and found the rest of the group was already there. None of them were injured.

Aria had a similar kill rate as him, but the twins had each killed hundreds of goblins.

Drake frowned upon hearing the numbers.

“At this rate, it would be, it would be evening or even night by the time we will be done by the outer periphery. This is a fog zone, so there is no guarantee, that it will still be here tomorrow. I don’t want to take any risks and annihilate the entire tribe today. But our speed is too slow. Our current way is not efficient enough” said Drake in mock anger and helpless tone.

The twins stayed quiet hearing Drake. With their new strength, not to mention hundreds, they could easily kill more than a thousand goblins in an hour but they were ordered by Drake to downplay their abilities till he signaled them not to.

They were puzzled by his decision but didn’t question it as they understood that he had some reason behind doing that. And watching the way he said those previous words, they roughly guessed the reason as Drake had long since told them the Wildfang tribe’s capabilities and circumstances.

Drake’s words were not for them, his words were for Aria.

Aria who heard Drake was in a dilemma.

‘Should I tell him the plans that I discussed with Mother last night?’

‘But what if he misunderstands me thinking I want to undermine his authority as the leader?’

‘I know using wisdom and strategies in fights is the coward’s way, but I know no other way of helping him.’

‘What if he no longer talks to me after I suggest those ideas?’

‘But I can’t see him like that. I want to help him even if he hates me in the future.’

Drake who was silently waiting for Aria to speak, smiled evilly when he heard her speak.

“Drake, I have an idea.”
