Chapter 332: The Goblin Overseer

The moment the huge goblin appeared, a system panel materialized before Zich’s eyes.

[Name: Goblin Overseer]

[Level: 35]

[Rank: Elite]

"A Level 35 Elite monster?" Zich raised an eyebrow.

It seemed this warehouse wasn’t entirely lacking in capable guards.

Upon seeing the corpses of its companions scattered across the ground, the Goblin Overseer’s already vicious face became even more ferocious.

Its eyes rapidly turned bloodshot, and an enraged roar erupted from its mouth.

"Gaaah!!"

The next moment, it suddenly charged forward on its thick legs, raising its short-handled warhammer high into the air before smashing it viciously toward Zich!

Boom!

The heavy hammerhead tore through the air with a deep, whistling sound.

However, faced with such a powerful attack, Zich showed no signs of panic.

He merely tightened his grip on Frostgrave with both hands and took a diagonal step forward, skillfully moving his body out of the warhammer’s attack range.

Bang!

The heavy hammerhead struck the ground just beside him, cracking the hard stone tiles and leaving a shallow crater behind.

And just as the Goblin Overseer’s previous attack had exhausted its momentum, before it could gather strength for another strike, Zich suddenly swung Frostgrave!

Clang!

The sharp scythe blade struck the iron shield that the goblin had hurriedly raised.

Accompanied by an ear-piercing metallic collision, the supposedly thick and sturdy shield was directly dented inward!

"Gah?!"

The Goblin Overseer staggered backward two steps.

Its thick arms trembled slightly from the impact, while the dented shield remained raised instinctively before its chest, offering little reassurance.

The ferocious expression on its face was replaced by obvious astonishment.

Clearly, it had never imagined that the human standing before it, who appeared far thinner and weaker than itself, could possess such terrifying strength!

Unfortunately, Zich had no intention of giving it more time to be surprised.

"Is that all you’ve got?"

The corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.

Mana rapidly surged through his body, flowing along his arms and pouring into Frostgrave.

The crimson glow that had gradually faded from the weapon immediately became extraordinarily intense once again!

"Blood Arc!"

Boom!

Another blood-colored crescent erupted from the scythe blade!

However, compared to the previous sweeping attack, this crimson arc was noticeably denser and contained even more violent power.

Almost the instant it appeared, it slammed directly into the iron shield raised by the Goblin Overseer!

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound suddenly rang out!

The iron shield, which had already been dented by the previous strike, split directly into two halves!

Yet the crimson arc showed no signs of stopping.

After tearing through the shield, it struck the metal armor covering the Goblin Overseer’s chest, forcibly ripping a hideous gash through the thick breastplate!

"Gaaah!!"

A miserable scream echoed throughout the warehouse!

The Goblin Overseer’s enormous body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the stone wall behind it.

Blood continuously poured from the wound across its chest, and even the warhammer in its hand nearly slipped from its grasp.

However, this fellow’s vitality was surprisingly tenacious.

Despite suffering such severe injuries, it still struggled to raise its right hand, attempting to swing its warhammer once more.

Unfortunately, Zich had already arrived before it.

"It’s over."

As soon as he finished speaking...

Splurt!

The sharp blade of Frostgrave pierced directly through the opening in the shattered breastplate.

Its icy blade penetrated flesh and blood, while the soul flames attached to its edge surged wildly into the creature’s body through the wound!

"Gah..."

The Goblin Overseer’s body suddenly stiffened, and the warhammer finally slipped helplessly from its hand, crashing onto the ground with a heavy thud.

The vicious light in its eyes gradually faded away.

[Ding!]

[You have successfully killed a Goblin Overseer!]

[Ding!]

[You have successfully killed a Goblin Warrior!]

System notifications sounded one after another. At the same time, several faintly glowing soul orbs slowly rose from the corpses of the goblins Zich had personally killed.

They subsequently entered his body, condensing into new tombstones within the graveyard.

Among them, the soul orb belonging to the Goblin Overseer was noticeably denser than those of ordinary goblin warriors, and the soul energy contained within it was also considerably richer.

"Another Elite tombstone added to the graveyard."

A trace of satisfaction flashed through Zich’s eyes.

Although these goblins were not particularly powerful, there were enough of them that the accumulated soul resources and experience points would still be quite considerable.

However, now was clearly not the time to carefully count his gains.

Zich withdrew Frostgrave and turned toward the warehouse’s main entrance.

"Nadia! Can you still hold them off?"

"No problem for now!" Nadia’s voice came from outside.

At the same time, waves of furious shrieks had already begun echoing along the street on the other side of the warehouse.

Clearly, the commotion caused by the battle inside had attracted the attention of nearby patrol teams.

Several goblin warriors could be seen rushing toward the warehouse from different directions, waving their weapons.

Meanwhile, the Nether Eye White Tiger stood firmly at the entrance, its enormous body almost completely blocking the doorway.

Its sharp claws continuously sent any goblins attempting to charge inside flying backward.

However, the goblins farther away had also noticed the disturbance.

More and more green figures were beginning to gather in this direction.

Some carried crude spears, while others dragged heavy clubs behind them, their hurried footsteps adding to the growing commotion outside.

"I need to hurry." Zich’s gaze sharpened slightly.

Without wasting any more time, he turned around and headed toward the shelves piled high with supplies.

Several wooden crates had been overturned during the fighting, spilling their contents across the floor. Fortunately, most of the supplies remained untouched.

When he first entered, he had already noticed that the warehouse contained large quantities of potions and ores.

However, because the battle had begun so quickly, he hadn’t had an opportunity to examine them carefully.

Now that the enemies inside had temporarily been eliminated, it was naturally time to collect the spoils!
