Becoming a god starts with enhancing fire arrows.

Rhodes took advantage of Archer's distraction as he dealt with the incoming arrows.

While using a wooden shield to block the stray arrows, he grabbed Paril and quickly retreated to the edge of the battlefield.

Seeing this, Archer wanted to catch up with Paril who was running behind and strike her again, but he was held back by the goblins and failed to succeed.

A hint of regret flashed across his face.

Rhodes hurriedly raised his shield and fled, his left arm numb from the shock.

The girl's clothes were snagged by some unknown plant and tore open, instantly revealing beads of blood seeping from her fair, tender legs.

After running for a while, Rhodes was surprised to find that the goblins had stopped attacking him.

They saw that the enemy's firepower was focused on Archer, who was wearing a mage's robe, and Daisy, who was wearing a priest's robe.

They then slowed down.

Kulin frowned.

He noticed the two people who were running away from the very beginning.

However, the goblins' spells and arrows were endless, and the opponent clearly had a numerical advantage.

I have no time to be distracted.

Survival is the priority; kill the goblins first!

He raised his longsword high, the blade gleaming with a white light, and unleashed a series of combat techniques.

guard!

War roars!

Archer and Daisy were enveloped in a white light, their limbs brimming with power.

They quickly dispersed and blended into the jungle.

Both of them had a clear strategy and chose to prioritize dealing with the goblin archers.

Daisy appeared like a ghost behind a goblin archer, her dagger flashing.

The goblin archer turned to dodge, but a shallow cut was made on his forearm.

The paralyzing toxin spreads in the bloodstream.

Its stiff arm could not pull the bowstring again, and Daisy's second stab was already aimed at its heart.

On the edge of the battlefield.

Paril's brain was already overloaded from running around.

Whether it was her three teammates' sudden change of attitude or the unexpected goblin attack, she was completely baffled.

But the girl always secretly believed in Rhodes.

I managed to keep up with his pace the whole way.

"Wait!" Rhodes suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[5 Life Essence Points Acquired]

What's going on?

I didn't make a move.

It could be considered a battle I initiated, but my life essence didn't increase as much as it would have if I had personally intervened.

He thought for a moment, pointed in a direction, and instructed Paril, "Heal yourself first, then keep running that way. Don't worry about me."

Paril stood frozen in place, her lips trembling slightly, wanting to say something but unable to utter a sound.

She had become dependent on Rhodes, who had been giving orders the whole way, and the sudden announcement of separation filled her with a sense of insecurity and fear.

Rhodes added, "I'm going back, I don't have the energy to take care of you."

"Your hasty arrival will only be a hindrance."

"Listen to me and go ahead. I'll catch up with you once I've finished dealing with this."

The girl silently used a healing spell on her slender calves.

His wounds had healed, and he stood there blankly staring at Rhodes, lost in thought.

Rhodes yelled, "Let's go!"

Paril then obediently ran away.

Rhodes returned the way he came, quietly approached the edge of the battlefield, and hid in a thicket of bushes.

This location looks quite safe.

If we're lucky, the battle might end soon and we might even be able to take down one or two more.

If they are unlucky enough to be discovered, there is still enough distance to evacuate.

It's worth taking this risk for more of life's essence.

......

On the other side of the battlefield, Archer, who was also assassinating the archer goblin, was not as lucky as Daisy.

He was entangled by a goblin wielding a giant mace with wolf fangs.

The goblin swung his spiked club with a whooshing sound.

Archer wasn't a strength-based class to begin with, and what's more, he was wielding a dagger, so he could only dodge in a panic.

Coupled with the ranged harassment from archers, they were instantly at a disadvantage.

The goblin mage looked at the battle on Archer's side, silently chanting a spell, his skull staff emitting a pale yellow light.

Archer's nimble steps faltered, and he felt his feet constantly slipping and stumbling.

Greasey technique!

The goblin mage grinned cruelly, preparing to chant again.

Daisy appeared like a ghost.

The dagger went straight for the goblin mage's face.

The mage remained completely calm, staring intently at Daisy as she charged towards him, a bloodthirsty excitement flashing in his eyes.

A green figure appeared behind Daisy, raising a machete and slashing down at her back.

Daisy was startled.

I never expected the goblins to have such tactical skills.

Instead of retreating, she advanced, using the warrior's defensive skill to withstand the attack. She then lowered her dagger and pierced the goblin mage's heart.

The monk collapsed.

"puff."

At the same time, Daisy coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Although the goblin's cleaver didn't cut into his flesh, the impact on his back was real.

Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, the goblin warrior raised his sword again, and Daisy was unable to dodge.

Archer intended to provide assistance, but unfortunately, he was affected by the grease spell and became clumsy and slippery. He was quickly punched in the nose by a goblin warrior and passed out.

Kulin's longsword continuously parried the attacks of the goblin warrior in front of him.

Concentrate the power in your wrist.

A heavy blow from the blade.

The goblin warrior's wrist went numb from the shock, and he took two steps back.

Kulin seized the opportunity and slashed diagonally with his longsword, severing the goblin's head in front of him.

A quick glance across the battlefield gave him a clear understanding of the current situation.

Both of his accomplices are no longer of any use.

The goblin had two warriors and one archer left, and they were charging towards him.

There's little chance of winning if we continue.

He spat.

Damn it.

This trip was originally intended to target a somewhat wealthy lone wolf adventurer.

The team worked together to ambush and kill him.

I thought I had already gained quite a lot, but I never expected that I would be blessed by heaven and pick up two more idiot humans.

These humans who possess magical abilities are highly valued as laborers by other races.

It's all that damned goblin's fault.

He was grinding his teeth so hard he almost broke them. He looked at the charging goblins, then turned and rushed straight into the ogre cave.

The ogres should still be sleeping at this time.

Ogres are very sleepy creatures; disturbing them rashly could drive them mad.

But we can't worry about that now.

Kulin glanced at the pursuers behind him.

We might as well die together!

He shouted at the top of his lungs:

"drum!"

"Iron Bucket! Damn it, wake up!"

His voice echoed through the cave.

"roar!!!"

A deep roar echoed through the jungle.

The vibrations made Rhodes' ears ring.

A gigantic humanoid creature, nearly three meters tall, with thick fangs and resembling a small mountain, rushed out.

Kulin's face lit up with joy.

This is one of his former employers.

They have a history of trafficking and kidnapping people and sending them here.

Ogres are not very intelligent and have no interest in money.

Therefore, their team always manages to reap a large profit.

Seeing the iron barrel emerge, Kulin shouted for help: "Goblins! A group of goblins has invaded your territory, they..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The ogre grabbed Kurin by the waist with his thick, powerful hand and lifted him high in the air.

As if eating a chocolate bar, he bit off Krillin's head in one bite.
