Not enough!
Mamadou felt his Speed stat receive a boost, bringing it close to 13, but he knew it wasn’t enough to get him out of this ss. He imdiately grabbed the axe strapped to his back.
Mamadou clenched his teeth. He had to break through the encirclent.
My level is too low. All I can do is leave scratches on them. If only I had been able to raise my level as much as possible...
This ti, Mamadou took the initiative. He wanted to create the opportunity himself—the opportunity to escape.
Mamadou charged toward one of the goblins and brought his axe down vertically.
His eyes narrowed.
His attack had been blocked by the goblin’s axe. Not only that, but the recoil shattered the bones in his arm.
He didn’t even have ti to retreat before another goblin stabbed him with a spear.
Mamadou gritted his teeth, switched the axe to his other hand, and cut through the spear that had pierced his abdon.
He was beginning to feel pain, and its intensity increased over ti.
He had never figured out how much SP his skills consud, aside from Dash, and he had never had the presence of mind to test it. Now his SP was too low to maintain Pain Resistance.
Left. Right. Up.
Thrust. Slash. Bam.
Mamadou dodged the goblins’ attacks thanks to their predictability and took two steps forward.
Although he wasn’t landing any decisive blows, he was slowly moving the battlefield without the goblins noticing.
The goblins continued attacking fiercely. The fight resembled a ga of cat and mouse.
He failed to dodge the next attack and blocked it with his broken arm.
The pain was intense.
The Goblin Chief, who was still observing the battle, suddenly felt that the monkey’s movents were slowing down.
Slash! Whoosh!
Had it finally adapted to the fighting style of the goblins he had sent?
Crack! BAM!
No, that wasn’t it.
His eyes could be deceived, but his experience never lied. The intervals between the monkey’s evasive movents were growing longer as it slowed down.
The Goblin Chief knew that at the beginning, the monkey had been dodging attacks before they were even launched, creating the illusion of trendous speed. Combined with the monkey’s agility, it had made things difficult for his n. It had been a form of stalemate.
But now the monkey was taking more hits than before.
So it’s almost over? thought Chief Oro.

"This is not the ti!" Mamadou shouted.
"..."
The large goblin smiled when he heard the monkey shout.
"I knew it could understand, but to think it can speak our language. That changes everything."
"Stop!" he ordered.
The Goblin Chief was no fool and thought quickly.
Just as he was about to tell his n to stop playing around and finish things seriously—they still needed to hunt for food afterward, so they should capture the monkey alive as quickly as possible—an uneasy feeling struck him.
He removed his hand from his chin and looked more closely at the monkey.
It had stopped moving.
Its leg muscles compressed. Taking advantage of the mont when the goblins had paused, it leaped out of the encirclent and rushed directly at him.
Why is it moving now? Has it lost its mind...?
After all, if it had leaped in the opposite direction, it would have reached the trees toward which it had been gradually shifting the battlefield and might have escaped.
Although surprised, the Goblin Chief didn’t hesitate.
He clenched his fists.
He was being challenged by a dying creature. Naturally, he would answer.
Whoosh.
The Goblin Chief dodged the monkey’s claw strike and imdiately responded with a punch to its abdon.
The monkey fell to the ground and, even while down, tried to claw at the Goblin Chief, but he stepped back half a pace.
It’s different.
If it had been trying to flee all this ti, now all it wants is to kill.
It’s finally behaving like a real monster.
I don’t feel the intelligence that was driving it anymore.
"Is it acting on instinct?" wondered the Goblin Chief.
The monkey imdiately leaped at him again and this ti threw a punch the way a goblin would.
The Goblin Chief didn’t dodge and took the hit.
???
This is definitely different from when it was fighting the others.
"But still not enough!"
The Goblin Chief shouted as he grabbed the monkey by its tail, spun it around, and slamd it into the ground.
As if it ignored pain entirely, the monkey imdiately bit him.
Shwaaaah!
Murky fluid burst from the Goblin Chief’s hand, causing him to imdiately pull it back.
"Chief Oro!" the other goblins called out in concern.
"Stay back!"
The goblins imdiately retreated.
"You’ve gone from prey to opponent. We goblin warriors respect only strength. And among my kind, I am different. I don’t just respect strength—I respect battle itself. That’s why I even respect the weak. And today, you did not disappoint."
"If you agree to answer my questions, I can spare you."
Grrrrr!
"I see. You’ve completely lost your mind," Chief Oro declared as he watched the monkey stand up again with a completely feral expression.
He approached the beast several more tis but had to step aside to avoid its fangs.
He only needed to make the creature lose consciousness, but his previous attack had failed to do so.
It was much harder to deal with the beast if he had to keep it alive. If he used too much force, it would die instantly in its current condition.
Frustrated, he tried to break the monkey’s other arm, but since the monkey was airborne, the blow rely sent it crashing to the ground once more.
Rhaargjg!
The monkey got up again and tried to claw at him.
"Co now. If you die from this blow, then that’s all you were worth."
The Goblin Chief threw a punch in his head that sent the monkey flying.
Its back slamd against a tree.
What am I doing? thought Mamadou.
He looked at his shattered arm and his battered body.
About four ters away stood the goblins, and farther beyond them was the terrifying gobelin-like figure that had been constantly observing him.
Shit.
He ran.
The opportunity he had dread of had presented itself on its own.
He ran, then climbed from tree to tree toward the mountain.
The Goblin Chief imdiately understood where the monkey was heading.
He barked an order.
"Find him before he reaches Mount ru!"
