I pushed through the bushes, advancing even as I pushed aside primitive plants with large leaves.
As if bored, the Goddess asked.
'Of course. It's possible if I just raise my stats.'
It was a simpler method than I thought.
From what I heard the monsters in this area had a level 15 or lower restriction.
'In other words, these guys, at most, the chieftain-level ones are level 15. What if I become level 16?'
'If the difference between people is divided by Force Hearts or Circle Hearts, then the difference between people and monsters is divided by level difference!'
Of course, it wasn't absolute. But in most cases, the one with the higher level was bound to win.
That's why many novices among aspiring heroes died off.
Without even trying to find out what level the monster was, just because it was a slime. Because it was a goblin, they pushed forward foolishly and died.
'Especially for weaklings like goblins, this rule is absolute!'
Like that, I followed the map. It was inconvenient because it wasn't a path people usually took, but I endured it.
Because it was well worth it.
Since it was like a secret passage on a detour, I could advance deeper and more stealthily than I thought.
'Don't I usually break through well?'
Ah, ah. Our Goddess Mama, who becomes sticky just from her voice.
The sweet moment was brief, as a figure appeared in front of me. I quickly ducked down.
'What the, a goblin?!'
Something was moving in front of the cave entrance with torches lit.
A goblin had gathered leaves, clumsily burned them, and was imitating smoking a cigarette. Does that even work?
However, my eyes went to the goblin's weapon. It was holding a fauchard.
'That's a difficult weapon to handle. What kind of guy is he doing here?'
"Uh?"
In that instant, my eyes met his. Damn it, I was so distracted by the strange sight!
As soon as he spotted me, the goblin let out a shriek.
"Kriieeehhhhhhkk"
It wasn't to threaten or show off. Because when his eyes met mine, the leaves had all burned up and sparks flew onto his fingers.
"It fucking hurts!"
"Hey, why are you here?"
"It's a human, a human! Kahaak!"
"This is really outside the scope of my predictions."
As I glared, the goblin rubbed his hand and aimed the fauchard at me.
"I was slacking off! Human, you look like a motherless bastard. I'll kill you!"
What, he's dropping a mother insult as soon as he sees me? These real Alpa-like bastards.
"Haa, I do have an aunt who is like a mother, you know? With big breasts and she's fucking beautiful."
At my reply, the goblin tilted its head. Suddenly, it panted.
"Heeheehek, I'm jealous! Then I'll eat your mother! I covet your mother! I'll stab her with my dick and impregnate her, and humiliate her while drinking her breast milk!"
"Fuck, just die. Information or whatever, you son of a bitch."
I charged. The goblin, holding its fauchard, tried to employ tactics using its range.
But so what?
"Die, human!"
Whooosh!
The goblin swung down with its fauchard. I ducked my upper body to dodge and closed the distance.
The goblin immediately changed the direction of its fauchard. Okay, agility passed. But that's as far as it goes.
I immediately moved to its side and thrust my sword into the goblin's neck. The goblin tried to push my sword away with its hand.
Looking closely, this bastard actually had some muscles.
But in the end, it died. If this guy was chieftain-level, he might have resisted a bit, but with such a level difference, what could he do!
[You defeated the enemy!]
[Acquired 3000 Collector Points (CP)!]
As I was pleased with gaining points, another title suddenly appeared.
[Eastern Judgment (Ancient)]
Type: Title
Effect: If you make contact with an opponent who used a parental insult, they are instantly killed.
Wow, this is pretty amazing, isn't it? Even though it's conditional, it has an instant kill effect, right?
'What kind of title name is this? Still, it's useful. And the rank is even Ancient!'
If it was Ancient, it was by no means a low rank. I hoped that higher-ranked titles would continue to appear in the future.
I wondered just how many titles there were.
I immediately entered the cave. The atmosphere here was definitely different.
Because the smell of blood was already strong. As I went a little deeper, a large cavern appeared.
I cautiously scanned the area.
'First, there are two of them. No, should I say 'a pair'?'
What appeared to be the chieftain, a hulking figure a head taller than a regular goblin, was visible.
He, in the left corner, was tearing at and eating a gnoll corpse.
In the opposite corner, a sofa, brought from who knows where, was visible. A female goblin with large but sagging breasts was visible.
This female, in particular, was wearing a necklace woven from bones or teeth.
'The big one is the chieftain, and that old hag with sagging breasts is the shaman. They're right there. Ugh, what's the use of being big if her appearance is trash?'
As expected, goblins you can trust to avoid. If a goblin bishoujo or something like that appears, right?
I'll change my family name, seriously. I wanted to kill the shaman immediately.
'Goddess, I also have pure feelings and philosophy. If it's big but looks like that, and the race is like that... well, from then on, I become a butcher!'
Thanks to talking with Isis, my tension eased a little.
Perhaps because he was the chieftain, he certainly had some intimidation. But my current level is 16.
'Even if I faced him head-on, it's not a level where I'd lose. However, I still need to fight smartly.'
I don't particularly want to fight the way my opponent wants me to.
'No. If they're chieftain or shaman level, their intelligence is similar to humans. From this point on, I need to use my head.'
'Like this.'
First, individual annihilation was important. What if I faced the goblin chieftain and shaman simultaneously?
I could win, but if I made a mistake, I'd be in danger too.
As I said, the level difference isn't absolute. So, I planned to defeat them one by one.
The distance between the chieftain and the shaman was quite far.
'Due to goblin racial characteristics, males are overwhelmingly numerous. Powerful females become shamans, and are usually mated with the chieftain. However, female goblins also tend to have strong sexual desires!'
I stood in a position where the chieftain couldn't see me, but the shaman could spot me. And then I lowered my pants.
'It's a honey trap.'
'Yes, my dick.'
I replied calmly and swung my still unerect cock back and forth.
"Sniff, sniff?!"
The reaction came immediately. As if she smelled my male scent, the shaman sniffed and approached where I was.
"Uhm!"
Then her eyes met mine. She flinched in surprise, but I seduced her, swaying my hips from side to side.
"Come quickly, aren't you going to eat what's right in front of you?"
"Eheeheeheck!"
The shaman laughed disgustingly and charged. Yes, you guys are like this.
'No matter how human-level intelligent a goblin is, if you make them crazy with lust, they're just the same dumbasses!'
Towards the charging shaman, I immediately drew my sword. It was a shame that the Vane Severing Sword Style didn't have sword drawing techniques, but it didn't matter. Because my specs were sufficient.
"Kieeek!"
The shaman, whose chest was severed, shrieked. While she hesitated, I struck her neck and killed her.
[You defeated the enemy!]
[Acquired 5000 Collector Points (CP)!]
Huh, now it's finally giving points befitting an E-rank monster. Is it because she was somewhat elite-ranked?
The necklace the shaman had fell. Even if the corpse disappears, this doesn't.
As I picked it up instinctively, I heard a sound of something charging towards me.
I detoured to the opposite side, and checked the necklace's specs.
[Goblin Shaman's Talisman]
Rarity: Noble
*Unique Passive Effect 'Calm Stance': Nullifies low-quality mental interference.
*Unique Passive Effect 'Spirit Burst': Each time Ki or Mana is activated, efficiency increases by 25%.
「A crude and insignificant talisman. Novice adventurers like it.」
Oh, it's a perfect early-game item. Just then, the goblin chieftain roared.
"I heard a scream. Where is it? Female! FemalEEEee!"
Shall I take advantage of the talisman then?
I detoured behind the goblin chieftain.
Shaking off the blood on my sword, I thrust it in one swift motion.
[Vane Severing Sword Style - Nameless Thrust]
Pwoosh!
The sword accurately pierced his back. But it didn't penetrate all the way through.
The chieftain trembled and turned his head. His face, engulfed in confusion and rage, was exposed.
"Kiiiek, human! Was it you?!"
"Hoho, so you're chieftain-level, you won't fall easily? Your mother must be proud of you."
The chieftain swung his arm. I stepped back and dodged.
He picked up a hand axe in each hand, and charged while letting out a shriek.
He was certainly a chieftain, so his physique was good, and his endurance was considerable.
'This fight is going to be long.'
But it was true that he had suffered a fatal wound. Every time I used a skill, I released Ki, and at that moment, with the talisman's ability, I felt the power become stronger than usual.
"Kieeek!"
"You're crying like an idiot."
Taeaeng!
I raised my sword and blocked. The chieftain furiously swung his hand axes.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill the human! I'll cut off your dick and make it a pussy and rape you, kill you, and rape you again!"
He's a guy with big dreams, indeed. This is what a chieftain should be like!
"Pfft, do you even have the skill for that? I'd like to kill you right in front of your mother."
"Kahaak! Shut up, after I kill you, I'll rape your mother!"
The goblin chieftain's eyes bulged. But he wouldn't know.
I wore a triumphant smile. I performed a horizontal slash in an instant.
"Hiiik!"
He dodged with good agility. In that gap, I immediately closed the distance. I raised my sword to block the hand axe he swung as a feint, and grabbed his arm.
"You shouldn't have said that. It's a pity."
"Kiik, after shaking off the sword, I'll kill...?"
Puwaaak!
He suddenly spewed blood from his mouth. He trembled like that and then died. He was instantly killed by the title's effect.
[You defeated the enemy!]
[Acquired 5000 Collector Points (CP)!]
I deliberately left this guy's corpse. Because someone needs to know that the leader is dead.
[Side Quest 'Goblin Slayer' Cleared!]
[Reward: 5000 CP Acquired!]
[Acquired one 'Aphrodisiac'!]
It's finally over. It's finally done!
Fiora must have thought that it would take me a long time to deal with these guys.
It was facing an entire goblin tribe alone, after all.
But I had resolved this in less than half a day. My chest swelled with pride, and not just a little.
[Conditions met!]
[You have acquired the title 'Goblin the Origin'!]
Oh, another title?! Kyaa, this is how it should be. Titles should pour out if the conditions are met!
[Goblin the Origin (Ancient)]
Type: Title
Effect: You are recognized as 'chieftain-level' by goblins. You 'suppress' goblins below the owner's level.
It was quite an interesting title. It was effectively a title that made one the chieftain of goblins.
Of course, since it was an Ancient rank, the effect was a matter of preference. Nevertheless, for me, it was a 'like'.
''Suppresses goblins below your level.' With just this effect, the value of this title is immense!'
At the very least, goblins near my territory were no longer a match for me.
Whether they use Excalibur, use instant-death magic, or can transform into a dragon, whatever!
If I just inflict the 'suppression' status effect, they won't be able to do anything but tremble.
Kyaa, the title is great! Sweet, so sweet!
"Thank you, Goddess."
I checked if there was anything else to take. But perhaps because they were goblins just loitering near a frontier territory, no treasures were visible. Just as I was about to leave, putting my regret behind me.
"Hmm?"
In the center of the cavern, a huge iron cage was visible. I had been too busy fighting to notice it. I went and examined it.
Surprisingly, there was a person inside. And it was even a woman with a good figure!
'Oh, this woman?!'
And this woman was at least a person I knew.
