Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 117: CHAPTER 117 – The Gate Cleared.

[Are you sure about it?]

Sophia asked Alex as she saw Noctura was about to attack the grey goblin.

Just like Alex, she also knew that the goblin wouldn't survive a single attack from Noctura, so she asked.

'Yeah, getting a little penalty for Noctura is fine, and the penalty is not that bad rather I would call it good, as my power was a bit too high for this world anyway,' Alex replied to Sophia.

[But its ability is quite good and powerful.]

'Yeah? You want me to eat living beings now, Sophia?' Alex asked with a sneer.

[Well, you could've just sold it if you didn't want it, it would've given you quite a lot of coins.]

'I know that, but let her kill it, although that skill of that goblin is growth type, and might fetch me a good amount of coins, I would prefer Noctura being happy over it anytime.'

Alex spoke without much change in his voice, as if he didn't care, but his words were being honest.

[Alex is being tsun tsun.]

Sophia giggled as she teased Alex, but Alex didn't respond to her, instead, he looked at the quest that he got right after he entered the gate.

[New Quest: -

Quest objective: Clear the Special E-Rank gate – The Goblin Village.

Bonus 1 objective: Kill the new boss of the gate alone.

Bonus 2 objective: Fight and Kill the new boss of the gate with your stats equal to the boss.

Quest reward: 50,000 points.

Bonus 1 reward: Arcane Shotgun (D-rank)

Bonus 2 reward: (D-Rank) Water Bullet {Skill}

Time limit: --

Penalty: Stats Lowered to SS-rank. (Duration: 1 Month.)]

The quest was not hard, neither were the rewards something special, but the lower the easier the quest is, the harder the penalty is.

The one who can't take a single step out of bed will be called lazier than the guy who ran 10 kilometers but can't take a single step further.

The lazier one is the higher the punishment is, after all, the quests are given so that Alex doesn't get lazy.

But for Alex, seeing Notura stronger was more important than earning 50k points and getting some low-ranked items. That's just how he is, he cares for those he thinks are his people, and he does the best for them, even if it gets him a bit of loss.

Then there was the skill he could get from the goblin.

The grey goblin is a hybrid of some beast and a goblin, its mother probably had some weird fetish, and the grey goblin was probably an accident, but the goblin doesn't know that.

Alex could tell that the goblin was going to get much stronger if left alone as its skill had unlimited potential.

The goblin was a devourer goblin, and its skill let it devour the stats of its opponent if eaten alive, this could make the goblin grow continuously as long as it eats its enemies.

But like everything, this skill had limitations as well.

This skill just extracts stats, nothing else, be it abilities, knowledge, or features. It can take nothing which means that it will be stuck after reaching a certain level of power, after all, to get stronger doesn't just mean physically.

Alex didn't think that this ability was anything special as it had many limitations, and he already had the plunder ability.

The other thing was that this ability was related to the bloodline that the goblin had, and Alex didn't want his blood to turn grey and gooey like that goblin.

If that skill was something that could be very useful for him, Alice, Ann, or Noctura then Alex would've taken the mission, but since it wasn't he didn't see a problem in letting Noctura take the kill.

He just stood there and smiled as he saw what Noctura was doing.

..........................................…

Noctura stood there below the tree surrounded by dead bodies after she tried a new ability of hers, then she looked at the grey goblin up in the tree.

It hadn't been long, but she had been thinking of how to kill the goblin in one shot.

Noctura was still fixated on killing the goblin in one shot, she wanted to be like Alex.

Then she got an idea, and she lifted her paw up again.

This time her claws didn't increase in size, rather there were four claw marks appearing in the air, it was like a black shadow claw mark in the air.

Noctura kept pushing her mana into it, making it sharper and harder, as she didn't want to take chances and kill the beast in one shot.

She had her skill fully charged in a second, but she didn't stop and another claw mark just like the last one appeared right beside the first one.

Alex who was standing far away smiled as he saw this, he could tell what she was trying to do, after all, he had seen her grow, and he knew her every move and everything she could think of.

Noctura was done changing her skill when she looked at the goblin only to see it making a perverted face with its hand on its face trying to hide its smirk.

Noctura felt angry as she saw that smirk, she didn't know why, but she could somehow tell that the ugly goblin was thinking of something bad for her master.

Noctura felt like laughing as she saw the dumb and ugly goblin thinking that it could even harm her master's hair.

'He's way out of your league, you filth.'

Notura growled inwardly as she saw the beast still smirking as it looked in her master's direction, she just couldn't look at that ugly face of that beast anymore, so she directly launched her attack.

The unprepared goblin that was laughing inwardly, thinking about how powerful it would get if it could eat Alex, Alice, Ann, and Anna suddenly had a sinking feeling.

*Woosh*

The goblin quickly snapped its head toward the direction it heard the whistling of the wind.

But all it saw was two claw marks heading toward it at a speed that it could hardly follow. The claw marks seem to be cutting the air as they move, the goblin could tell that it had no chance of surviving if that attack hit it, but it was too slow to respond.

The last thing the goblin saw was a black dog-sized wolf standing below the tree it had been sitting on. It could see the wolf looking at it with anger before its body was cut into many pieces, killing it on the spot.

Its blood fell on the tree, melting it in the process as it fell to the ground.

*Sssssssssss*

'Hmph,' Noctura just scoffed and turned to run toward her master.

'A mere goblin should never even look at my master with those ugly eyes,' Noctura growled inwardly, but before she could run towards Alex...
