Demon King
Chapter 26 Third Evolution [1]

As I looked at the reminder, I soon realized that only a few could meet this condition.

I thought reaching Lower Level 5 might be with a sword and spear, but it will take a long time.

I have reduced the time significantly by predating warriors, warriors, and knights with swordsmanship.

Other conditions are certainly a problem for others.

Even at the Beginner level, it was difficult to reach Level 5 for other martial arts based skills.

If one was determined to achieve it, it was possible, but that meant constantly changing weapons to level up.

That was why this skill would be hard to achieve unless one had the Predation to steal the abilities of other monsters.

Of course, another factor is that people may not know about achieving the advanced skills that these conditions require.

So far, the monsters I encountered in this dungeon, as well as humans, seem to have dull nerves and movements. They didn't seem to have skills like Detection and Leap. Their skill level would most likely reach Beginner Level 2 and not exceed it at all.

This is not the only thing I learned through the notification window.

I have Predation skills, which will result in an increased number of skills.

If so, I might be able to synthesize advanced skills other than martial arts in the future. After all, this was also the power of Predation.

[Higher skills are skills that arise when certain conditions are met based on lower skills. It is difficult to level up, but it has high strength even at the same level and has various advantages.]

[Do you want to synthesize to the Lower Martial Arts?]

[In this case, Lower Sword Science, Beginner Spear, Beginner Smash, Beginner Archery, and Lower Throw will disappear.]

[Fighter support skills are further enhanced by the effects of martial arts skills.]

[Yes]

[No]

I'm having a little conflict. Lower Martial Arts was definitely a good skill, but it started from Level 1. My swordsmanship is already at the Lower Level 6. It may be painful to start over from Level 1. Moreover, Leap and Detection are very important to me.

But perhaps, the Martial Arts skill will let me handle all the weapons and strengthen the power of the Beginner level.

Doubt is natural, but in the end by learning this, I will become stronger.

I closed my eyes and chose [Yes].

[Under Sword Science, Lower Throw, Beginner Spear, Beginner Smash, Beginner Archery have been extinguished.]

[You obtained Lv 1 Lower Martial Arts]

[You can handle all the weapons. Enhance the strength of combat support skills.]

I felt a good sense of relief and satisfaction.

It was exactly as I expected.

Now, it seems like I can use any weapon at a high level.

That doesn't mean I forgot that swordsmanship dropped from Level 6 to Level 1. My swordsmanship will not have the same strength, but it will not fall significantly.

Moreover, this could be easily overcome by preempting the monsters dealing with the sword.

“Good.”

It is a good thing to synthesize martial arts. I became stronger.

The chances of survival are even higher. I'm very happy.

[Protection 5/5 after hunting goblin knights]

[Second mission!]

[You gained 200,000 experiences!]

[You got 10 gold!]

[The level has improved a lot!]

[You got 3 lower health potions.]

[You have three iron javelins.]

Then came the moment I was waiting for.

[Evolution may occur.]

[Choose a race to grow.]

[1. Hob Goblin Fighter's

[2. Witch Hob Goblin]

[3. Warrior Hob Goblin]

[4. Commander Hob Goblin]

[5. Hob Goblin Assaulter's.

I seem to understand a little about the law of evolution.

The first evolution is from the ordinary goblin to the Goblin Warrior, and the second evolution is to become a more advanced species in the Fighter, or to become an advanced species, the Goblin Hob.

Now, the third evolution is to move from Hob Goblin to other higher species. I don't know when the fourth evolution will happen, but maybe at that time, I will get a chance to escape from becoming a Hob Goblin and turn into a different monster?

“No, it's okay if it doesn't happen on the fourth, fifth, or sixth. As long as I can move to a higher level species, I will take this opportunity. ”

During the first evolution, I had no choice. In the second evolution, I got the option of becoming a Hob Goblin. This time, there are five options to choose from. I hesitated.

Fighter, Witch, Warrior.

It is easy to interpret. Maybe because I have martial arts and magic. Warriors and Warriors will be superior for melee attacks, and magicians will be superior for magic attacks.

Fighters have more aggressive features than Warriors. Come to think of it, Goblin Knights were from Goblin Fighters, not Warriors.

If I were to choose one of the two, I would become stronger in close combat. However, Black Lightning is very important to me, and I have also just obtained Flame Magic. I don't have to rush to lose this ability.

The 4th and 5th options, however.

[Goblin Hob Commander]

[High level species that can direct other Goblin Hob.]

[Can command goblins with high leadership skills; increase subordinate strength; capture powerful monsters that are difficult to face alone. Trolls, intermediate monsters, fear and evade the group of Goblin Hob Commanders.]

[Hob Goblin Assaulter]

[Rarid variant of Hob Goblin, has various skills related to attack and magic]

[The terrifying combat monsters were polished to hunt intermediate monsters with combat and magic abilities.]

Fighters, Mage, Warrior, and Commander all sound good. However, Assaulter is described as ‘langk’ in the notification window.

A commander who can capture powerful monsters by leading a group. An invader who lives by hunting powerful monsters.

There are certainly pros and cons to each of the 4th and 5th options, and it is clear that their capabilities cannot be compared to a simple Fighter or Mage.

My choice has been decided.

I haven't even gotten a chance to use Leadership skills so far. It's at a lower level, but I haven't used it yet. In short, it's useless.

Not likely. Logically, it would be a great risk to choose a Commander and finally find out that I have no group to lead.

Even emotionally, Assaulter found it more interesting.

This is the top species that specializes in combat.

Fight with all you have and defeat all enemies – I am sure that this is the way I have to go.

After ensuring the safety around me, I boldly chose the fifth option, the Hob Goblin Assaulter, and waited for the pain to come.

“Oh, ah ah ah ah!”

The bones of my entire body were displaced and distorted. My skin was torn, my muscles were fractured, and my blood was soaring high in the air.

My face is like being torn. A headache that seemed like dozens of piercing knives had swallowed me.

“Ugh-go-go-go!”

But knowing that this pain will not kill me, and what the consequences will be, makes the pain bearable.

[Starter Regeneration becomes Lv2.]

[The Lower Level Resistance has become Lv5.]

Yeah why not? Resistance also grew during the last evolution, and in the process of wounding and restoring it, Regeneration skills increased inexorably in this situation where many bones were broken, flesh was destroyed, and blood flowed.

[Starter Regeneration becomes Lv3.]

Regeneration grows to two levels at once. It's an amazing thing, and I'm happy, but it also says how much hurt and pain I've received for this skill to grow twice as fast.

“Aghh.... Gh........”.

I tried to distract myself with thoughts about becoming stronger to escape the pain of reality until finally, the pain began to fade.

I opened my eyes.

I took off the armor whose size increased in proportion to my body and checked myself for a change.

My arms and legs became thicker, looking stronger and more incredible than before.

Moreover, unlike my greenish skin before, my skin is now darkened. Maybe Ebon's heart is influential. Or do Assaulters have dark skin?

I also got higher. I had no choice but to estimate it by looking down at the ground. I think I'm over 180cm.

As a human being, I am quite short.

Of course, I'm a monster now, and it makes a difference.

[Hob Goblin Assaulter]

[Low Martial Arts has become Lv2.]

[Starter Fire Magic has become Lv2.]

[Beginner Black Lightning has become Lv10 and evolved into Low Black Lightning. The distance and power of the black lightning increased.]

[Starter Power Strike has become Lv7.]

[Starter Power Land has become Lv2.]

[Starter Surprise has become Lv10 and evolved into Lower Surprise. The hiding ability was more proficient, and when launching a surprise attack, the attack power increased.]

As evolution progressed, my skills continued to improve. Martial arts, magic, attacking skills, surprise – all skills related to the identity of the Goblin Attacker improved.

Surprise is a skill that I really like because it doesn't use too much mana. Nevertheless, it grew slowly because there were only a few instances where I could use it. I can't use it during the mass appearance I triggered.

[Kang Si-ha (Fate)]

[Goblin Hob Attack Lv 40]

[Power – 205 Stamina – 184 Magic – 105 Luck – ??]

[Skill-Ebon Heart, Predation Lv3, Lower Martial Arts Lv2, Lower Armor Defense Lv8, Lower Regeneration Lv3, Lower Flame Magic Lv2, Lower Black Lightning Lv1, Lower Power Attack Lv7, Lower Flame Magic Lv3, Lower Power Arrow Lv2, Lower Leap Lv2, Lower Leap Lv7, Lower Surprise Lv1, Lower Leadership Lv3]

I couldn't help but smile when I saw status. After the evolution, I got 40 upgrades for strength and magic and received 20 boosts for stamina. Moreover, all I can see now is a low-level skill.

Because of the excitement, I started to make a few jumps, tried Black Lightning, and used my sword to test my new strength.

I kept doing that until a new notice appeared before my eyes as if reminding me that I had forgotten what I was here for…
