The Goblin's Leveling System!

Chapter 138: Confronting The High-Level Monsters

Axel's PoV:

"Mana Snipe"

I muttered silently and released the mana I had concentrated in the fingertip of my index finger on my right hand.

The released mana formed into a sniper bullet and was heading towards the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor's head.

The mana sniper bullet left a trail of mana which looked like a beam of mana that was heading towards the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor's head.

In the slow-motion, the mana sniper bullet was only a bullet at sight but in normal time, it looked like a beam of mana and it is because of the high velocity that I had shot the mana sniper bullet at.

The velocity of the mana sniper bullet was enough to surpass the speed of the level 70,000 great fire lion which allowed it to not be noticed by the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor.

The mana sniper bullet was only a few meters away from hitting the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor so I still needed a few milliseconds to stall the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor.

By stalling the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor, it would increase the chances of the mana sniper bullet hitting its target because the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor would be focused on the thing that I had used to stall it which would let it be at the same spot.

It would be inevitable that the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor would notice the mana sniper bullet so I stood out of the bush that I was hiding at.

The attention of all the high-level monsters including the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor was now focused on me.

The time that the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor took to turn its head towards me was enough to let the mana sniper bullet land on its head.

After the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor turned its head, the mana sniper bullet managed to hit it tye which caused the mana sniper bullet to easily penetrate its head.

Since the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor's skull was thick due to its high defense stat, the mana sniper was stuck inside the head of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor because of not being able to penetrate the skull of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor.

Blood spurted out from the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor's eye and it screamed in pain because of the agonizing pain that my attack had caused to it.

Even though the head of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor was damaged by my attack, it was still alive so it had a bit of its strength left to pounce itself towards me.

I quickly controlled the mana sniper bullet inside the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor's head to burst so the mana scattered inside its head.

The burst of mana inside the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor's head caused its brain to be completely obliterated.

My last resort which was to scatter the mana in the mana sniper bullet was the reason why the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor dies.

The body of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor flopped towards the ground and it was lifeless and still like a statue.

I didn't hesitate any longer to devour the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor since I would need all boost I could get to fight against the other high-level monsters.

I placed my mouth on the neck of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor and bite it which caused my teeth to slowly penetrate the fur and skin of it until my teeth reached the flesh.

I closed my mouth while my teeth were still in the flesh of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor and tore the flesh of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor.

I spat out the flesh of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor that was inside my mouth into my right hand.

I didn't eat the flesh of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor due to the fur that was still stuck on the skin of the chunk of flesh that I had torn from its body.

Although my stomach would be capable of digesting the fur of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor, it was still an unpleasant thing for me to taste the fur of any monster that I ate since it tasted almost similar to fabric and cotton.

So even if my life was still in danger, I would prioritize my enjoyment and satisfaction in tasting food over my life.

It was something that I had begun to value as a virtue of a foodie and a food connoisseur.

After I removed almost all of the fur on the flesh of the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor, I quickly stuff its flesh into my mouth and chewed it thoroughly.

After I chewed it thoroughly, I swallowed it and it caused me to trigger a system notification.

*Ding!*

*Host have acquired the [Fire Envelopment] skill from the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor!*

The skill that I had obtained must be the skill that the fire lions used to cover it's body using fire magic.

The [Fire Envelopment] skill should be able to increase my fire resistance, my attack power, and the potency of my fire magic.

"[Fire Envelopment]"

I cast the [Fire Envelopement] skill which caused a sea of flames to appear near me and the sea of flames enveloped my body.

I cast my [Fireball] skill to test if my fire magic increased in terms of attack power.

A huge ball of black fire appeared in the palm of my right hand which answered my concern.

The [Fire Envelopment] skill was much useful than I had anticipated and not to mention it was beyond useful since I mostly use magic skills which were fire affinity.

At first, the high-level monsters were eyeing me as prey but after I killed the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor and activated the [Fire Envelopment] skill, they started to increase their guard around me and deemed me as an opponent.

My level also went up by ten thousand due to killing the level 70,000 great fire lion emperor.

I only got ten thousand levels even though I killed a level 70,000 monster which should mean that it was much harder to level up as my level kept on increasing.

The higher the level value, the more experience needed to increase to the next level.

It was already good that I got ten thousand levels just by killing a level 70,000 monster and I might get lesser levels after I killed monsters at a lower level.

I might need to defeat all of the level 70,000+ monsters in this part of the forest to level up to the next ten thousand milestones.

I should be able to defeat all of the high-level monsters as long as I defeat them one by one and if not, I might be the one who will be defeated instead.

I looked at the high-level monsters and stared at them while releasing my killing intent and mana.

I tried to become domineering so that I could scare off some of the weaker high-level monsters and prove to the other high-level monsters that I'm not someone to be messed with.

A few of the high-level monsters backed off a little after I had displayed some of my abilities.

Most of the high-level monsters remained in their position and didn't waver but instead, further increased their guard while baring their fangs at me.

Some of the high-level monsters also displayed their prowess by imitating what I just did to prove to me and the other high-level monsters that they wouldn't back down without fighting.

I'm not that much in an unfavorable position even if the high-level monsters were several ten thousand levels higher than me considering all of them were not siding with each other.

I also had not revealed some of my trump cards that could temporarily boost my stats for a few minutes.

Even if I couldn't defeat the high-level monsters, I would just escape like what I had done last time and let the other high-level monsters fight against each other.

After the fight between the high-level monsters commenced, I would wait for some of the high-level monsters to die, and then I would snatch the corpse of the eliminated high-level monster and devour it.

I should be able to permanently increase my power as long as my luck was great since my [Indestructible Element-Devouring Stomach] skill wasn't that completely capable of absorbing the stats of the monsters that I had devoured.

The [Indestructible Element-Devouring Stomach] relied on a certain percentage of chance to be able to absorb the stats of the flesh of the living being that I had devoured.

I'm not that much of a disadvantage against the high-level monsters so I might as well see how the high-level monsters would react after a few minute's worths of time that I had used to display my power.
