Chapter 40: Ah, Goblins

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cramer had no escape route.

Surrounding him were sacred corpses of his tribe. He stood alone as he faced the marching Goblin legion.

Cramer gazed at the Goblins. One, two, three, four… Forget it. There were countless Goblins!

Cramer grasped his Hammer tightly. He wouldn’t die today, as these weak Goblins would perish!

Cramer roared as he charged at the Goblins who split their formation. They were chatting jovially, and the formation was disorganized. These were Goblins, after all, the lowliest and most foolish creatures!

A Goblin with the name Peasant shouted, “Engaging Cramer! Get ready! One, two, three! Grandson!”

That Goblin charged towards Cramer.

Cramer didn’t understand what the Goblin was shouting about, but he recognized the last word. It was praise for Cramer.

Cramer wanted to give this Goblin a quick death. He lifted his hammer and crushed down with all his might. Whoosh! The Goblin, Peasant, and his shield were crushed.

“Wah, he didn’t last long and was flattened!”

“Next Tank get ready to sacrifice!”

“Don’t panic! We have only started engaging the BOSS! Fight according to the plan!”

The Goblins chattered noisily, and Cramer was vexed by their buzzing.

Cramer felt someone slashing his knee.

He lowered his head and saw a short Goblin with the name BurningChestHair stabbing his knee, which was protected by scales, so he didn’t suffer much damage. He wanted to crush BurningChestHair with his hammer, but the Goblin rolled away and landed face up. Then the Goblin scrambled hastily out of Cramer’s attack perimeter.

“Shoot! Thank goodness I’m agile! The BOSS glared at me just now. I thought I was dead!” BurningChestHair shouted.

Cramer was confused by the Goblin’s rolling action and didn’t notice a Goblin stabbing his knee from behind.

Cramer turned his body and saw a Goblin with the name NotWearingPants rolling on the ground like BurningChestHair. Cramer wasn’t confused this time. He swung his Hammer and crushed NotWearingPants.

“Our team leader is dead! Our commander bites the dust!”

“Gosh, that’s a horrible death.”

“That’s hilarious. We’ve dealt minimal damage, but our leader is already dead.”

“It’s normal when fighting a BOSS. Don’t panic. We can still continue. Those not fighting can help to bring the corpses back for revival. Let the revived gamers come back. Hurry!”

“Quick! Pull the BOSS away! Change to another location! How do we extract the corpses?”

The Goblins were shouting non-stop, which made Cramer even more vexed. The Goblins moved quickly to the other side, and Cramer thought they were fleeing.

Ah, these Goblins were shameful!

How could Cramer let these dishonorable Goblins escape? He wielded his Hammer and pursued. His speed was faster, and he hammered as he gave chase. Soon, he ran to the opposite side of the Spiders’ Lair entrance.

The Goblins stopped in their tracks, and a Goblin charged with his shield as he shouted “Waaaaa!”. Cramer swung his Hammer when he felt a stab on his back. He turned to see BurningChestHair rolling out of his attack perimeter. Cramer felt damage being inflicted to him from the sides.

Cramer roared impatiently. A Goblin charged forward with his shield. Cramer focused his frustration on the Hammer and swung it down viciously. That Goblin didn’t even manage to scream as he was crushed into silence.

Cramer noticed a shadow flicker as a Goblin squirmed under his arm and stabbed his knee. Cramer roared in pain.

“I feel that I almost brought down the BOSS. I’m awesome,” BurningChestHair said proudly. His body was full of dust after rolling on the ground.

Other Goblins, who were armed with shields, stabbed Cramer’s sides to attract his attention, but Cramer was only focused on BurningChestHair, that ugly Goblin!

Cramer charged at BurningChestHair with his Hammer, ignoring the other Goblins.

“Sh*t! OT ¹ !”

“ChestHair, run! OT!”

“Taunt him quickly!”

“Grandson! Grandson!”

“D*mn you!”

The group of Goblins surrounded Cramer and hollered and slashed at his knee, but Cramer ignored them. After ramming a group of Goblins, Cramer charged at BurningChestHair with his Hammer.

BurningChestHair turned to run, but how could he outrun Cramer?

Cramer ignored the insane Goblins’ attacks on his sides. He bolted to the front of BurningChestHair and grasped BurningChestHair’s neck. Then he slammed BurningChestHair repeatedly on the ground.

After slamming him ten times, Cramer’s anger was exhausted, and he felt better.

“Gosh… is that a BOSS skill? Or a berserk attack?”

“I don’t know. Don’t worry, continue to inflict damage!”

The gamers surrounded Cramer and attacked.

Cramer swept his Hammer and flung the Goblins far away. Those who survived were maimed.

Cramer roared again, but he vomited blood. His back was stabbed by a Short Sword. The Goblin called Arthur charged and stabbed him in the gap between armor plates while Cramer was swinging his hammer.

Arthur abandoned his sword, jumped down, and fled. Cramer roared furiously and pursued, but his speed was compromised due to his back injury.

The gamers were invigorated by the success of Arthur. They raised their weapons and shouted as they charged at Cramer.

Cramer had an ominous feeling. Seeing more Goblins gathering at his side, he feared this was his last breath. He wasn’t afraid of death, but he was worried that his two nests of eggs wouldn’t be properly cared for. Thinking of his tribe deep within the Spiders’ Lair, Cramer believed they would take care of themselves and his children!

Cramer was never fearful!

Cramer raised up his hammer and roared as he smashed down on the Goblins.

Cramer chuckled as he fought the foolish Goblins to the death!
