This time however,when the goblin corpses dissipated they dropped some items.
“Goblin toe”
Food ingredient for 4 legged beasts
“Goblin cloth”
“Basic bow”
Attack:20 dmg per hit
Durability:5/5
While 2 goblins dropped “silver ore”
Unrefined silver ore that can be used by blacksmiths to make weapons.
“Since our swords are made of rusty iron,makes sense that silver made swords should be better”
“Yeah but where do we find a blacksmith young master?”
There were no blacksmiths in this day and age,but Dante still had an idea.
“We cant find one but we can buy one,the cosmic market sells everything.
Lets save money and buy a blacksmith slave,i wonder if he is going to be a dwarf?”
Since the world had become a video game and goblins existed,creatures like dwarfs and elves should exist too,at least thats what Dante thought.
“I am curious to see what will become of this world” he said to himself before going deeper inside the cave.
After opening the stone door behind the goblin corpses,2 bigger goblins who looked more ferocious appeared.
Goblin warrior lvl 7 (health 70/70)
“Young master look,their swords seem different “
The swords the 2 of them were holding were different from the rusty iron swords that most of the goblins had,they were made from actually refined iron.
But where do goblins get weapons?Does this mean that a goblin blacksmith is somewhere within the cave?Could he actually make a goblin submit to him?
“Since these 2 are so strong its safe to assume that the goblin boss resides behind that door”
He pointed towards the door behind the goblin warriors.
“Lets start by using our skills Maria,this could be hard so try to be careful”
“It is you who should be careful young master”

She used her water wave skill which did 20 dmg then she jumped in attempt to slash the goblin with her sword but the goblin warrior reacted by using his.
Both swords collided which led to Maria being pushed back.
“Heavy swing”
Dante evaded the attack from the goblin that he was facing and went ahead attacking Maria’s opponent.
The goblin lost 20 more dmg and was now left with only 40 health.
Both of them used their skills again at him (Fireball and water wave) which led to the goblin warrior’s death.
Now that his partner died the other goblin went berserk,he was bombarding them with attacks and slashes but most of them either missed or were tanked by Maria’s sword which would show up to protect Dante every time he was in danger.
Even though the warrior was lvl7 ,the fight did not last long due to Dante having more mana than ordinary people,since he had 50 mana from the time he awakened he could actually use fireball 5 times a minute.
By making use of Maria who was tanking the goblin’s hits he used his dark fireball 3 times and managed to kill the other warrior which led to both of them reaching lvl 5 and wining 6 stat points and 50 cosmic coins each.
The warriors also dropped 4 more silver ore and 2 refined iron swords.
“Iron sword”
Attack: 35
Skill:Heavy Slash
Durability 30/30
“Young master,why dont we sell the rusty swords that we have put in our inventories and use the money to buy more skill books?
We have better swords now anyway”
Dante liked the idea so they sold about 10 rusty swords that they collected from the goblins winning themselves 100 more cosmic coins
“This sure gave me a good idea,since these warriors were a bit troublesome it’s obvious that the goblin boss will be even stronger,i am about to use some underhanded methods in order to make it a bit safer”
He opened the marked and used 50 coins to buy “arcimantule poison of blur”
“Reduces the target’s vision and agility “
He told Maria to apply it in their swords and arrows which she happily obliged.
After they discussed a plan they both entered the boss room slowly and in full alert.
In front of them was a goblin however unlike the ones before he was more human like,and did not seem that stupid and predictable.
Hobgoblin lvl 10 (health 120/120)
Just as planned they both started the battle by using their skills,but the moment fireball and water wave was fired the hobgoblin used ice magic to make a ice wall appear and block the shots.
The ice wall broke bu the hobgoblin was unscathed.
After defeating against their attacks he went in the offensive by hitting them with ice shards which managed to hit Maria’s right arm and Dante’s left leg.
“You have been hit by ice magic,movement speed slows down by 5%”
“Hit him again”
They both fired their spells but the goblin boss protected himself with the ice wall again.
“We predicted this”
They took out the bows and hit him with the poisoned arrows.
Since the target was so close they didn’t miss,the hobgoblin lost 40 health and his vision was blurred.
“He is not that fast to react anymore,this is our chance “
They both jumped and used “heavy slash” on him which made him lose 60 more health points.
After feeling the danger the goblin boss got angered and backed away while rapidly shooting with ice magic.
“How much mana does this thing ha”
Without finishing his word,a big ice shard was fired in his direction but just as it was about to hit him,Maria used herself as a shield and tanked the attack.
Once the ice hit her it smashed her against the cave’s wall causing the stalactites to shake and crumble.
“Noo,Maria are you okay?Why did you do that you idiot”
He was really pissed,she was the only one to unconditionally care about him ever since his parents died.
He stood up,pissed as he was and.
“Fireball......Fireballl.......Fireball.......”
he fired fireball three times,the hobgoblin’s health bar reached 0 and his green body fell hard to the ground.
