Notifications of the deaths of the other two goblins came a little late this time. But Kalysto didn’t have time to worry about that, not when her bow looked like it was about to be snapped in two by the third goblin’s sharp knife.
Surely that knife had a higher level of penetration than the others.
The strong goblin, seeing that she had been trying to put up resistance, used the weight of his body against her. And while Kalysto had defended herself well so far, she wasn’t so good at close combat. Especially since her strength lay on her legs and not her arms. So she took a step to the right, and without wasting any time, stepped to the side, allowing the goblin to fall under his own weight. Then she used the tip of the wood of her bow as a weapon to strike him in the temple. But unlike the other goblins, this one’s skin seemed to be much tougher, and the bow instead of hitting him split in two, hitting her in the shoulder in the process.
Kalysto let out a curse and leapt backwards after attempting to kick the green creature in the side. But again, its skin seemed to be too tough. So she jumped back several more times, trying to put more space between them.
Suddenly, the wound on her shoulder started to hurt, and she became worried when she saw all the blood she had lost.
[The passive skill 'Mental Defense' has been activated.]
[The passive skill Pain resistance has been activated.]
Immediately, she closed all the notification windows that were open.
“Purification! Purification! Purification! Purification!” She said, placing her right hand on her injured shoulder as she broke into a run, increasing the distance between them.
You might be stronger, but you’re definitely not faster than me.
And her theory was confirmed as soon as she looked back and saw that even though he was chasing her, the distance between them seemed to increase, so drawing another bow from her inventory, she launched an arrow towards his left eye.
But he was able to dodge it with ease.
So she shot the next one into the middle of his chest.
The arrow hit the target, but didn’t bury itself in his skin as deeply as it had with the other goblins.
Definitely his skin is much tougher than the others.Definitely, She worried, and shot two more arrows into his stomach before starting to run again. When there was again enough distance between them, she stopped and launched four more arrows at his chest. By the third time she tried to do the same, as soon as she launched the first arrow, he threw the knife at her. Kalysto quickly dodged the weapon and then ran to where the knife had fallen and dug it out of the ground, putting it away in her inventory with a smile.
“Thanks for the gift!” She exclaimed excitedly at the thought of being able to inspect it later when she had more time available and could find out what kind of additional stats it had. Kalysto opened her inventory and stowed her new weapon in it as she ran, then hid behind a tree and pulled out the bottle with high-quality holy water her new boss had given to her and took a swig, immediately putting it away again and pulled out another arrow. Then, she came out from her hiding place and shot right in the eye of the unsuspecting goblin that was chasing her.
The arrow hit the target and, unlike the previous ones she had shot, this one buried itself halfway.
“Good!” She was thrilled. Only to regret it a second later when a terrifying, thunderous scream came from the monster’s throat. And causing another goblin nearby to run towards him to see what was wrong.
Kalysto immediately pierced his neck with three arrows and the notification of the newcomer’s death did not take long to appear in front of her.

And when the goblin with the hardened skin bent down to steal the knife from his fallen comrade, Kalysto immediately shot him in the arm, preventing him from taking the weapon. Followed by another arrow in the neck. She was about to shoot another arrow at him when, without warning, an arrow passed close to her nose. Burrowing into the trunk of the tree next to him.
Kalysto immediately turned and shot the newcomer in the eye. She then shot two more arrows into his neck.
The notification of his death was not long in coming, and she quickly closed it.

And she immediately turned around, discovering that the other goblin had taken advantage of her carelessness to crouch down and try to loot the other fallen goblin again. She shot him in the hand, making him let out an annoyed shriek and immediately shot him in the neck, wishing he would shut up.
But again, the ruckus he had caused attracted another goblin. This time armed with a spear. And as the resistant goblin lunged at his compatriot, who had just arrived with a spear, Kalysto shot three arrows into the neck of the newcomer. Whose body fell lifeless, causing another pair of notifications to open before her.

Kalysto felt a little better immediately. She almost felt like she was a little stronger and lighter.
And immediately, she closed all notifications and prepared to launch another arrow against her resistant enemy, wanting to check if the points that had been added to her strength would help her defeat him more easily. But when she closed all the notifications, she could observe with fear the tip of a sharp spear heading towards her head.
She jumped to her right immediately avoiding the damage, only to have to dodge again, this time, the knife that annoying goblin had thrown at her after the spear he had thrown as a decoy, then lunged at her with his bare hands.
She immediately launched three arrows at his neck, but even though they buried themselves deeper into his skin this time, it wasn’t enough to defeat him.
What the hell?... How can this monster be so tough compared to the others?
The goblin throws his fist against her to then reaches out and tries to claw at her face with his claws. Kalysto took a step backwards, evading its sharp nails by just a couple of centimeters. Then she pulled an arrow from her quiver and buried it in the creature’s ear just as he buried a knife in her side.
And where did he get that knife from? She couldn’t help but be surprised at the unexpectedness of it, and they both staggered from their new wounds. Kalysto stumbled over her own feet as she instinctively placed her hands over her new wound, watching in awe as blood poured out of her in droves.
I’ve got to get rid of him right away! She thought.
“Purification! Purification! Purification! Purification! Purification! Purification!” she said, fearing she would get an infection.
And seeing that her enemy was still alive despite all the damage she had done to him so far, she remembered one of her new abilities she hadn’t gotten to use so far. And this time, it was Kalysto’s turn to approach him, who still seemed somewhat dizzy after the arrow she had already buried in his ear. She put her left hand on him and after taking the knife, with which he had almost split her bow in two, out of her inventory, she whispered mischievously.
“Sleep well,” the goblin looked at her, full of confusion. And he blinked several times as if he could not quite see her. “Sleep well,” Kalysto repeated, five more times. Until she could notice how the eyelid of the goblin’s good eye began to close as the goblin’s body relaxed and fell almost limply to the ground. “Sleep well,” she repeated five more times, before raising the knife she held in her right hand and with her left hand she kept her hand firmly connected to the greenish skin of that monster. “Sleep well,” she whispered again, and she could hear the soft snoring coming from him. “Sleep well,” she whispered again as she buried the knife in the throat of her enemy.
I doubt very much that they gave me this ability, thinking that I would use it in this way. She thought coldly. But she didn’t care.
All she cared about was surviving and getting stronger.
“Sleep well,” she whispered again as she buried the knife twice in his throat. And she only stopped until four notifications appeared before her.
