• In 3 minutes, Clinton made short work of the pack of Green Goblins.
• After killing their two level 3 leaders first, the others panicked and, in that time, he was able to kill two of the level 2 Green Goblins easily.
• In the end, spooked, the last Green Goblin of this pack was able to escape death as turning without shame, it ran and escaped at astonishing speed.
• In 3 short minutes, Clinton just destroyed a level 3 pack of Green Goblins.
• Clinton raised his right skeleton hand holding one of his Wooden Daggers and looked at it. “Hehehe,” he chuckled which only sounded eerie when coming from a skeleton. “I truly am growing stronger”.
• Before now, he was scared to even take on a single level 3 Green Goblin in battle but after spending his free attribute points and crafting weapons, killing multiple level 3 Green Goblins no longer seemed so hard.
• With a toothy grin on his skeleton face, Clinton did not hesitate as he went about his business like nothing happened.
• He continued his raid through the decaying forest.
• In the next 20 minutes, he was able to meet multiple packs of Green Goblins and Undead Trees even as he avoided the Ogres for now like a plague.
• In this time, he was able to kill two more level 3 monsters, taking his overall kill tally of level 3 monster kills to four, leaving only one till he leveled up.
• Clinton felt in his element at this moment.
• He no longer felt like his life after reincarnation was such a miserable one, he no longer saw this decaying forest as that area worse than hell again.
• Heck, with this much power in his disposal, this should as well be paradise!
• For his last level 3 kill though, instead of wasting time and stalking another pack of monsters, Clinton finally decided to be brave.
• Afterall, he already got enough combat experience already.
• During the past few dozen minutes, from the beginning when at close distance, he missed his Wooden Spear throws, his accuracy already increased as he did it repeatedly against the monsters in this level of the dungeon.
• There was even one time that he managed to kill a level 2 Green Goblin in one throw of his Wooden Spear, dealing +2.1 damage in one attack.
• This was scary damage.
• Considering the fact that his own overall health points was just 3, at the moment, even Clinton would be scared of facing himself as an enemy.
• Of course, during these skirmishes, he got injured at times but never too serious since with his weapons and his I.Q, he was always one step ahead of the monsters, keeping the battle under his control always.
• This time though, Clinton finally decided that he was ready.
• He finally decided to challenge an Ogre.
• ***
• {Warning! Enemy has been detected!}
• {You have encountered a level 3 Stone Ogre!}
• ***
• This time, Clinton took his time, choosing his battlefield, preparing it to make sure that the odds were stacked in his favor.
• And once he was confident of his chances, only then did he attack.
• Of course, he debuted with his Wooden Spear.
• With more confidence this time, immediately after he came out from behind the decaying tree where he hid previously, he aimed and threw the Wooden Spear.
• Compared to before, this time, his accuracy was much improved.
• The Wooden Spear struck the Ogre directly on the chest.
• CLANG!
• A loud sound of collision reverberated through this forest the next moment amid sparks as the Spear tried to force its way through to no avail.
• Clinton only managed to deal a measly +0.1 damage.
• And then, the status of the Ogre lit up.
• ***
• {You have attacked a level 3 Green Goblin!}
• {You have dealt +0.1 damage to your enemy!}
• …
• {Stone Ogre!}
• Level: 3
• HP: 8.0/8.1
• {Active Skill: Might Punch!}
• ***
• ROAR…!
• The Stone Ogre roared loudly as soon as it saw its enemy and then, the next moment, the Ogre did what Clinton did not expect.
• Shifting its head to the side, staring at the nearest decaying tree, all of a sudden, this 2-meter Ogre grabbed it with its bare hands and then, it tore the tree apart!
• Clinton’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he witnessed this display of might by the Stone Ogre.
• Before he could understand what was going on, this Stone Ogre tore a big chunk of the trunk of this decaying tree out before hauling it in his direction.
• Before Clinton could understand what happened, it was already too late.
• “F*ck!” He ducked but still, the tree trunk grazed his skin.
• {You have been grazed by a tree trunk!}
• {You have received +0.5 damage!}
• ‘F*ck! So much damage from just a graze?!’
• ‘What would have happened if it hit me directly?’
• Rolling on the ground awkwardly with his skeleton body, Clinton finally stood up only to curse again because, the Ogre was already before him and right now its clenched fist was punching right at his face.
• BAM!
• Have you ever been punched on the face so hard you could literally feel your face deforming behind your enemy’s fist?
• At this moment, Clinton experienced this feeling.
• ***
• {CRITICAL HIT!}
• {Your enemy used a skill on you: Might Punch!]
• {You have received +2.2 damage!}
• {HP: 0.3/3}
• ***
• Seeing the figure of his health points that were displayed by his miserable undead system, Clinton was horrified to death and most importantly, he was reminded of a very bitter truth, a very bitter truth that he had been trying so hard to hide.
• He was just a miserable mid-tier undead skeleton.
• “F*ck!”
• Clinton dared not linger.
• Turning tail without any shroud of shame, Clinton abandoned his weapons, only taking one dagger with him as he ran with his tail between his legs.
• Unfortunately for him, the angry Stone Ogre was not letting this slide.
• The Stone Ogre went in pursuit.
• “F*cking Christ!” Clinton cursed.
• “I swear I’m going to kill you!”
