The level 14 Goblin Priest possessed a Warrior-level Attribute Template.
Simon guessed that the Goblin Priest's Health Points must exceed 500, possibly even reaching 1,000.
Although the caster's physique was noticeably weaker, the Warrior-level Attribute Template provided the Goblin Priest with Health Points comparable to a Goblin Centurion.
If this were an ordinary game, even with Shadow Assault, Simon wouldn't be able to kill the Goblin Priest in one hit—not to mention the earlier Goblin Centurions.
But this was not just a game.
A game world built on a real world meant extraordinary freedom.
One-hit kills and critical strikes were genuinely possible.
Simon's razor-sharp claws, the Shadow Assault's attack bonus, and his targeting of vulnerable spots such as the heart, neck, and head—all these combined to allow him to kill both Goblin Centurions and Goblin Priests with a single strike.
Obtaining the Warrior-level Attribute Template was exhilarating for Simon; meanwhile, Grog was furious.
"%#@*!"
"Earth-Splitting Slash!"
Amid his furious roar, Grog raised his greatsword high and slammed it down with tremendous force.
A wide blade of light burst forth, engulfing a several-meter radius centered on Simon.
Simon, still midair from killing the Goblin Priest, was hit directly.
The overwhelming force struck him like a locomotive, sending him flying backward over ten meters before crashing to the ground.
[Status]: Health 389, Mana 250
Taking Grog's full-strength strike head-on cost Simon 111 Health Points.
This was after the damage reduction granted by his Passive Skill [Heavy Carapace].
Even so, the Carapace on his back where he was struck cracked open.
Without [Heavy Carapace], this single blow would have taken away most of his Health Points and left him seriously wounded.
But now...
Losing a little over a hundred Health Points to gain a Warrior-level Attribute Template and kill an enemy who could continuously heal was completely worthwhile.
Remember, Simon possessed the Passive Skill [Limb Regeneration]!
So even if his Health Points took damage or his limbs were severed, he could recover quickly through ample feeding.
After taking Grog's full-strength blow and roughly gauging his power, Simon calmed down.
He knew he was destined to win this fight.
He had ample Goblins around to serve as a food source to heal his injuries,
while Grog could only repeatedly endure Simon's ambushes, eventually suffering losses and dying by his claws.
Smirking coldly, Simon accelerated, disappearing into the bushes within the blink of an eye.
"Chief, the black demon ran away!"
"The black demon is injured; the chief drove it off!"
"Now the black demon won't dare come back, right?"
When Simon's figure vanished, the last Goblin Centurion and the ten Goblin Royal Guards gathered, excitedly shouting.
"Black demon? Hmph! Just a coward!"
"If it dares come again, I'll tear it apart!"
Having injured Simon, Grog was also elated.
He agreed with his subordinates' opinions.
Before this, he had encountered many powerful monsters. Once defeated, those monsters never appeared again in Goblin City.
Even if they returned, they only dared to snatch a few ordinary Goblins from afar, never stepping foot inside the city.
Grog didn't care about losing a few ordinary Goblins.
Unfortunately...
Only minutes later, Simon's wounds fully healed.
He stealthily approached the clearing again.
When the last Goblin Centurion was only a few meters away, Simon struck once more!
"Shadow Assault!"
Undoubtedly, the last Goblin Centurion also became Simon's prey.
"Bastard!"
"How dare you appear again?!"
Grog, who had just relaxed, was planning for the future, hoping to raise more Goblin Centurions and Royal Guards.
Yet his last subordinates were beheaded by Simon, falling to the ground.
"Savage Charge!"
The huge figure became a blur.
Grog appeared before Simon in an instant, sending him flying with a powerful charge.
Then the greatsword rose again and struck down!
"Earth-Splitting Slash!"
A vast blade of light burst forth, blasting Simon away.
However, this time, after landing, Simon did not immediately flee.
Instead, he dashed into the midst of the Goblin Royal Guards, swinging his razor-sharp claws and relentlessly slaughtering them.
"Ding! You killed Goblin Royal Guard, gained 300 experience."
"Ding! You killed Goblin Royal Guard, gained 300 experience."
In an instant, under Simon's attack, half of the ten Goblin Royal Guards fell.
When the remaining Goblin Royal Guards fled, Simon adjusted his direction and charged at Grog.
Simon's strength and constitution were far below Grog's.
With the boost from the Lord-level Attribute Template, Grog's Health Points surely exceeded Simon's by a large margin.
But Simon's agility surpassed Grog's.
As long as he was not in midair, not locked by "Savage Charge," and not restrained by other Goblins, Simon could dodge most of Grog's attacks.
With his powerful Passive Skills, Simon could afford to trade damage for damage, grinding Grog down.
Attack head-on!
Hide and recover!
Attack again!
From the moment the first Goblin Centurion fell, Grog's fate was sealed.
The Newbie Village's final boss was destined to fall under Simon's claws!
