READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 4: Goblin chief
Ryan looked at the goblins around the goblin chief and took a deep breath. He charged forward and attracted the attention of goblin chief. The goblin chief roared at Ryan and extended his palm. A fire ball with a 1 diameter wide hurled at Ryan. He simply dodged it and looked at the goblins charging at him. The goblin chief isn't idle either.
Ryan felt the movements of the goblins are no longer as fast as before but he find it difficult to react as his body still not used to the strength upgrade. Ryan parried the slash from a goblin and kicked another goblin. Then he dodged the blows from the goblins. He then killed the goblin that tried to stab him by cutting it's throat.
Ryan lunged at the other goblins and killed one of them by stabbing it in the heart. Then used it as a cover to block the blows of the goblins. Suddenly he felt a chill behind him and looked back to see the goblin chief hurling fire balls at him. He dodged them and killed another goblin while using another as a cover for the fire ball and dodging it. Then the goblin chief started preparing a huge fire ball of 3 meters diameter. He cursed and used the goblin corpses as a cover before hiding behind a rock.
As the fire ball hit the rock he felt the scorching heat and got some burns. But he looked back at the goblin chief and saw him panting. It's understandable as the goblin chief is raining fire balls at him. Ryan ran to the goblin chief who suddenly smiled at him and released a fire ball which Ryan crawled to the ground avoided but his back is scorched too now.
Gritting his teeth he lunged forward and stabbed the goblin chief on his neck before ripping the fang necklace around it. The goblin chief looked at him with resentment before dying while Ryan sat on the ground panting heavily and enduring the pain. But it vanished when a notification appeared.

See us, all our team mates are level 2 now as half way to level 3 "," I pity him. While all others are working together he is left behind. If this continues he may die ".
Ryan ignored them and sat beneath a tree and exhaled deeply. At this moment the group of awakeners that entered the forest that has equipment come to the safe zone too. Looking at Ryan they cast didainful looks. Ryan raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything.
Ryan took rest and bought some food and water from the shop. After eating it, he stretched taking a little rest and then moved out of the safe zone again.
