Noah crouched down beside the nearest goblin body.
He opened his storage ring and swept the body inside with practiced efficiency. Leaving monsters in a dungeon passage behind you was the kind of thing that caused problems on the way back. But it also have use, they could sell it to guil management. They also possess f rank mana cores.
Damien did the same on the other side without being asked.
They cleared the three bodies in under a minute and moved on.

More goblins came as the passage continued.
Not in large numbers. Small groups of two or three, appearing from side alcoves or simply wandering the corridor ahead of them. Each encounter lasted less than a minute.
Damien handled most of them before Noah even had to adjust his grip. The ones that peeled off toward Noah went down without much trouble.
They were weak. Genuinely, simply weak. No coordination or stratgy. They lunged and they swung and they died.
Noah stored the bodies each time without commenting on it.
