…

”Ive checked your badges, be careful out there, {Adventurers}. ”

It was already the next day of {Calda City}, Xalkren and Kian had decided to rest a full day at the {Camelias Inn} after promising to let Kian sleep his tiredness away. One could wonder how the hell he managed to stay asleep for the entire day without waking up for meal or two.

Regardless of how he managed to do it, they left through the West Gate of the city in order to reach to their next destination in the {Deep Dark Forest} for their request.

Once entered into the deep and dark forest in the {Black Mountain}, Kian spoke out after taking out two beef jerky from his smaller pouch that he had it made with the night wolfs skin and giving one to Xalkren.

”Kuren, how do you want us to approach this quest? Split up or not? ”

The latter wondered how many wolf meat his friend had turned into beef jerky, he shrugged as he bit on the jerky and began chewing slowly.

He stopped chewing after giving his words a thought, ”Stick together until then, I believe thats a better choice for now. Our goal is to find some goblins wandering around to follow them back to their campsite. ”

Kian nodded, ”Okay, a sound plan. What will we do after we found the camp? ”

”Kill anything in sight, of course. ”

Kian nodded again, firmer this time, ”Yes sir! ”

It was not long until they encountered a small group of dire wolves and goblins which looked like scouts for their tribes. The goblins glared at the duo with bloodlust as their took out their blunt knives and wielded them like daggers.

”Kuek, kaboss!! ”, it appeared to be glowing faintly as it ordered the wolves to become more aggressive than the usual. Kian noticed that one of the wolves charged at Xalkren as he realised that the goblins could be {Tamers}.

”{Beasts Masters}! Kuren, watch out for the wolves bites! ”, he shouted as he soon blocked against another dire wolfs fangs as he was being pushed back by its adult grown body!

”Krr! Take this!! ”, he swung his fist and struck a mean punch at the wolfs teeth clattering against his sword. The impact from the punch shattered the poor dire wolfs fangs as it yelped away in pain.

The goblin noticed the wolf began hiding and cowering behind it as the goblin became furious at Kian for injuring its tamed wolves!

”Tch! ”, in the meantime, Xalkren evaded the wolf charging at him as he aimed his palm at it. He began channeling Dark chakra energy into his palm as he wondered if he could cast that kind of energy now at his current state as a {Taoist}!

[«Blades Strike»… its not working —]

*clash*

”Damn it! ”, he cussed as he failed to cast a powerful spell to help win the battle in a few minutes rather than in some minutes. He had unconsciously guarded himself with his dagger blocking the dire wolfs sharp claws and instincts overtook him!

He mercilessly pried open the wolfs growling mouth and stabbed the roof of its mouth before twisting the blade to further inflicting pain into it! The wolf cried in pain as it struggled futilely.

The goblins and the remaining two dire wolves by them were stunned by the ruthless execution that came from a thin and frail looking human as one of the tamer goblins shivered as it spoke, ”Human… valgor!! ”

Kian used this opportunity during their stunned silence as he leaped into the sky above them as he swung his sword down with a destructive force carried into his motion!

”Keuk!! ”, the destructive swing left behind a circular shaped like crater as Kian stood up above a deceased goblin and the broken wolf from earlier after being caught off guard, the wolf could only yelp in pain as it tried to move its broken hind and front legs. After mercing killing the immobile and tooth broken wolf, he didn stop there as he dashed and swung his broadsword again!

”«Heavy Slash!!» ”, he yelled as his bright yellow eyes glowed in a flash of light. His sharp and heavy swing which then erased two dire wolves heads in one clean hit!

The final goblin edged away in fear after noticing how strong was the human with a sword. It even panicked when it couldn find the other human with a dagger until it was too late.

Its last emotions was fear as it felt a sharp and warm pain entering from behind. Xalkren had stabbed it in the back against where its heart would be when it was mentally broken from losing its group in such a quick note.

He breathed out a sigh of sadness after noticing the goblins terrified expression as it laid lifeless among its dead brethren and tamed beasts.

Xalkren remembered what Kian shouted at him and as he asked, ”{Beasts Masters?} ”

…

A man with white hair and pale purple eyes took notice of a fair traveler patting the heads of his tamed snow wolves. He muttered what he had learned back when he was in the capital of {White Haven Kingdom}.

”{Tamer} developed Trust with their tamed beasts as they fed them with mana and love. They can either choose to have those tamed beasts of theirs to protect themselves against monsters as {Monster Hunter} or fight against one as a {Beasts Master}. ”, a sigh escaped a man as a warm breath soon attracted his attention toward the cover of the book that his mother was reading.

Goblins History.

Goblins were once lived in the subterranean area of the world, Agenda. They weren incredibly hostile creatures in the old era. However, that history of them used to live in the undergrounds soon changed their opinions after noticing a small tribe of goblins walking out of their caves, blinded by the gaze of the sunlight.

Smaller than the average human, dark green to yellow skinned, and facial features known to be shunned as ugly, these were the key features of a goblin race. It was unknown as to when did they became much hostile and aggressive to the humans living near their territories.

As they were told to dye their hats made with animal skins they captured in the blood of their victims. They as a whole, a lesser threat in individual but considered as a problem in groups. They fought dirty and will hindrance their foes until their deaths or victories.

Some goblins in their tribes are intelligent, capable of human speech although terribly due to their stunted growth over their vocal chords. Still, this doesn stop a goblin to mimick a humans skill to use it for themselves in the next generation of their kin.

They left behind various inscription of what theyve learned from their little lives exposed to the threats such as humans and stronger beings in order to guide their newborns with learning the abilities of the human or be aware of certain… dangers they may encounter in their lives.

However, there are still those who are non-hostiles to human and tend to seclude themselves deep in the caverns and lived on with their little farm and forage of various other non-hostiles creatures that lived among them.

The yellow the goblins skin are, the longer theyve been outside of their natural caves. It is also a way to determine ones age as goblins grew faster than the average person of any race. Although, theres evidence of them aging like humans via the colour of their hair, nowadays with the goblin skin turning colours being much more distinguishable than a strand of white hair. No wonder the main way to see how old a goblin is by their skin colour.

The race is majority male dominated by almost ninety percent, the female kin are rarely seen in the wilderness as most goblins will have to breed with their female captive, vulgar but it was by their ruthless nature and plausible vengeance to humans that once invaded their home in the first place.

Ichalis turned his head toward another book beside his mother, a book titled Creatures of Black Mountain caught his eyes as he asked for her permission to have a read on the book, ”Mother Rufia, may I have a look at that book beside you? ”

She looked at him after lowering her current book slightly, ”Yes, you may, my son. ”, she was smiling as she enjoyed watching her son be interested in literature like her.

She was practically giggling to herself as she continued back to tend to her little reading about the goblins. Is she finding their history funny for some odd reason, Ichalis wondered about what was inside of his mothers mind as he shook his head quietly.

He then grabbed the book politely as he could from where he was seated and opened the book as he checked out the names of the wolves he wanted to read more about.

Night Wolves.

These wolves tend to only lurk out in the dark night until the early morning of the sun basking its first light over the earth, signifying the daytime has arrived. They lurked in the night for only weak preys, let it be a young baby that couldn defend itself, an injured wolf of its different kind, or even a lone man in the {Black Mountain}.

Usually they hunt for weak preys in a group of three, only one of their kind are sent further away as a scout to sniff out any potential weakling to be made as meal for them. When one scout is killed during its duty, the smell of its blood will alert the rest nearby to avoid any encounter with a strong opponent.

They prefer to hunt when necessary, only grouping up to kill a lone and beefy animal together as a pack rather than in a group of three mentioned earlier. The night wolves hated the sun, as if they were vampires scared over a little light of the morning sunlight.

During the day, they waited inside of various caves under their territories and waited they will for any… unaware preys to come into their caves to find shelter or treasures.
