Chapter 3 - Boss fight

  A goblin suddenly appeared from behind me and kicked me until I fell and rolled to where the hobgoblin was.

  'shit'

  The hobgoblin raised it huge silver sword and then swung down, I rolled to the left whereupon two goblins carrying spears jumped up and attacked me.

  I managed to block them with my shield, the hobgoblin didn't stay still, it kicked me so hard that my body bounced off, hitting a large tree and making me vomit blood.

  "Isn't this too real for a simulation?"

  I staggeredly tried to get up, if this was a battle in the real world i think my ribs would have been broken by now.

  I tried to run because I knew, I couldn't possibly win against them head-on, but an arrow then shot out and pierced my head

  "Thank god"

  If I die this means I'll respawn in the first place and won't have to fight them right..or atleast that's what I thought.

  Well yes I'm alive again, but the location where I respawned is not where I first spawned here, I respawned right where I was kicked down.

  Mess up right?

  Thankfully I managed to withstand the attack that had made me fall before, smothered the goblin that attacked me and then stabbed it in the chest until it died.

  "Sigh, this is why I want rogue class"

  Sneaking around as a warrior somehow feels funny, but I don't have any choice anyway since there are 10 goblins and 1 hobgoblin that I am now facing, 4 goblin archer and 6 normal goblin, well counting the goblin that I just killed, there are 11 goblins in total in this area.

  "Is it possible to escape? But there are 4 goblin archers there so the risk is too high.

  I only have 1 life left, die and the test will be completed, I don't know how long the time has passed, but even if I wait for the time to pass to complete this test, I don't know if they will not realize my presence"

  I picked up the stone lying beside me and threw it towards the west to attract their attention, the 3 goblins reacted to the sound of the stone but not the archer goblins, they were still watching the surrounding area.

  I stayed where I was, waiting for a chance for them to let their guard down, after a while I started moving slowly, careful not to make any noise.

  I carefully walked up to the goblin archer who was quite far away from the goblin herd, pulled the goblin quickly towards me then stabbed it with my sword.

  The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  The goblin archer vanished, but unlike before, the goblin archer left behind his bow and arrow.

  "So there is an item drop system too huh? I don't know if it's effective for warrior class though"

  Bow and arrow is one of the weapon choices for rogue class, well it's not like you can't use weapons for other classes though, but it's basically useless for basic class.

  Since I had no choice either so I picked up the bow and arrow dropped by the goblin archer earlier, trying to aim at the 2 goblins that happened to be close together while continuing to try to hide my presence.

  It's really hard to use a bow when I'm a warrior, but I still try to focus, calming my breathing while still trying to keep my hand steady so that my shot doesn't miss.

  Thwack!

  In the end, I only manage to kill one goblin since I'm not suitable to use bow, besides because I'm a warrior, all of my skills are based on sword and shield.

  I quickly tried to move, approaching the only big tree here to take cover after my position was discovered, and luckily I was fast enough to do that.

  I climbed the tree quickly after putting 10 stones and a bow and arrow into my storage.

  "KIEKKKK!"

  The hobgoblin shouted something that made all the attention of the remaining goblins go to him, the hobgoblin looked like he was saying something that I didn't understand, but from his body gestures it looked like he was ordering them something.

  Uhoh, something bad will definitely happen soon.

  After the hobgoblin gave orders to all the remaining goblins, all the goblins scattered to look for me, hobgoblin? Just quietly waiting for news from other goblins.

  Up in the tree I didn't stay silent, I took out a bow and arrow from my storage and aimed it at the hobgoblin, not missing the opportunity where it was just standing still.

  But, unfortunately since I'm a warrior class, my aim misses and ends up hitting one of the goblins not far from the hobgoblin.

  "Damn it"

  The goblin archers who realized my position then aimed it's arrow at me and shot an arrow, I managed to respond quickly by ducking my head.

  The hobgoblin didn't stay still, it hit the tree I was in with it body, making the tree tremble and making me lose my balance.

  I jumped while taking out my sword, trying to stab the head of the hobgoblin with the help of the jump, but unfortunately my attack missed.

  The hobgoblin raised it's greatsword and attacked me vertically, I took out my shield to try and block it.

  It worked, but the attack was too heavy and powerful for me to withstand so it made me kneel down, doing my best to withstand the attack from the hobgoblin.

  "I really should run away huh"

  1 goblin from my left side tried to attack me with it wooden cub, I tried to defend by kicking it as hard as I could which made the goblin bounce about 1 meter.

  But I didn't count on another attack coming from my right, hitting my ribs and making me spit out blood.

  "Damn it"

  A small notification window popped up right in front of me, telling me to use my skill.

  "Why the hell it's only appearing now, and how exactly do I use my skill"

  The text of the notification window changed, giving guidance on how to use the skill.

  'remember the active skill you got and try to visualize the skill according to the name and description of your skill'

  "Ah!"

  I remembered that I had the counter slash skill, a skill that is useful for countering the opponent's attack with my shield and then counterattacking instantly with my sword.

  I tried to practice it by visualizing it in my head, then suddenly I felt that there was energy flowing through my body that gave me extra power.

  I suddenly felt like I could parry the hobgoblin's attack and slash its stomach with my sword.

  Ding!

  'Counter slash can no longer be used within 10 seconds'

  "So that how you use skill huh"

  Ignoring my skill cooldown notification, I ran towards one of the remaining goblin archers, the remaining two goblin archers were aiming at me with arrows, but I was faster.

  I grab the body of one of the goblin archers then throw it at the other goblin archer, making them collide with each other before I kill them with a single stab.

  "KIEKKK!"

  Hobgoblin ordered something and 3 normal goblins advanced on me, thankfully it's just normal goblins and the number is not so many so I manage to beat them in no time.

  But I don't see goblin archer anywhere, did it run away or did it hide somewhere? Well it doesn't matter since for now I have to focus on fighting one on one against the hobgoblins.

  Hopefully the time limit runs out first though.

  I ran forward towards the hobgoblin by positioning my shield in front of me, trying to use the shield bash skill in hopes of stun the hobgoblin.

  Well it failed though, either because of the level difference or I was unlucky to activate the stun.

  Ding!

  'counter slash can no longer be used

  shield bash can no longer be used within 10 seconds'

  'oh so both skills have the same cooldown?'

  The hobgoblin was pushed a few centimeters by my skill attack, he grinned at me, as if taunting my attack without any effect.

  Hooked by the hobgoblin taunt, I lunged at the hobgoblin again, getting ready to attack it without realizing there was one attack from the goblin archer that hit my shoulder.

  Thwack!

  "Oh shit"

  I tried to release the arrow that stuck my shoulder, however, I couldn't move at all.

  "Oh come on, paralyze?"

  And the hobgoblin who walked slowly toward me then used it greatsword to attack me, slashing me diagonally which then split my body into two.
