The Goblin's Leveling System!

Chapter 184: All 8 High-level Monsters Are Defeated!

Mathew's PoV:

I checked to see the current situation of the others excluding Alex who was currently lying on the ground.

I might be able to alleviate Alex's paralysis status using a potion that I had stolen weeks ago but I decided not to. I'll just let him suffer for the consequences of using a skill that temporarily boost stats.

Even if I wasted one of my potions to cure Alex's paralysis, Alex still couldn't help me and the other heroes in defeating the remaining high-level monster since Alex had not yet recovered most of his mana.

With that in mind, I might as well use a defense-type artifact to protect Alex from the possible attacks of a high-level monster.

I took out a small silver shield with a star symbol decorated on it. I then poured my mana into the small silver star shield and placed the small silver star shield on top of Alex's stomach.

The small silver star shield could defend against any attacks as long as there was mana inside it. The small silver star shield could increase its size depending on the size of the attack that would come in contact with it.

I only added a small portion of my mana into the small silver star shield since Alex could still supply it using his recovered mana. It's not like Alex wasn't capable of controlling his mana and using magic. Only his physical body was paralyzed, not his mind.

After I had placed the small silver star shield on top of Alex's stomach, the small silver star shield slightly levitated and Alex seemed to have poured some of his mana into the small silver star shield.

I was now relieved that Alex wouldn't die of the accidental death of getting hit by an attack of a high-level monster.

I walked towards Distere and Distere glanced towards me after he noticed that I was heading towards me.

"Stay near Alex so that you could defend some of the attacks of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger if it manages to go towards Alex.", I said to Distere.

Distere stood up on the ground after hearing what I had said to him and walked towards Alex.

"You don't have to tell me that. I have already planned on protecting him. After all, he had protected me when a huge armadillo came rolling towards me."

After Distere replied that to me, he continued walking towards Alex.

"Now that problem concerning Alex's safety is settled, it's time for me to defeat the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger."

I looked towards Satomi and he was currently fighting against the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger.

I don't know if it was even called fighting since the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger was overpowering Satomi. Maybe not overpowering, but more like massacring Satomi.

I had expected Satomi to be able to put up a fight against the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger after all the death he had experienced but it seemed I was wrong.

I didn't expect that Satomi was the slowest in terms of growth speed. Must be one of the prices for acquiring an immortality skill.

Satomi had an ability that allowed him to obtain stats whenever he died but the amount of stats he obtained from his every death was unknown to me and maybe also unknown to the other heroes.

Since it's concerning his cheat skill, it's not like Satomi was obliged to reveal the full information about his cheat skill.

I was unlike Satomi who must have some weakness regarding his immortality cheat skill that was needed to be hidden or else he would be at a disadvantage.

I only told Axel and the others about the side effects or also known as the weakness of my [Universal Steal] cheat skill because they would be able to help me when the time the side effect of my [Universal Steal] cheat skill would take into effect.

In my situation, it was more convenient for me to let the others know about the weakness of the [Universal Steal] cheat skill since they would be able to knock me out when my mental health was affected due to the side effect of the [Universal Steal] cheat skill.

I had already become much more resilient towards the side effect of the [Universal Steal] cheat skill so I could now use it much more often than before.

I wasn't secluding myself inside my room and stealing high-rank artifacts for nothing!

I also didn't mind letting Axel and the others use the artifacts that I had stolen if it would contribute towards the growth and strength of the heroes' party.

As I thought of that, I continued to watch the fight of Satomi against the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger again and as expected, Satomi was still getting toyed by the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger.

The sharp claws of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger would easily slice Satomi's body into two as if it was a knife cutting through butter.

Although, I do believe that Satomi had the most growth potential if it's about long-term growth since he was immortal. Therefore, he could die all he wanted to for a thousand years and he would reach the top 10 strongest in this world in just that amount of time.

But of course, that wouldn't happen since the other races wouldn't know if the entire continent would be at peace if the demon race managed to dominate the world.

I doubt that a lot of people would be alive if the demon race managed to achieve world domination so that's why the heroes were summoned in the first place.

If all of the heroes died at the hands of the demon race, then Satomi would be the possible last resort to defeating all of the demon lords.

As long as Satomi's weakness in his immortality skill wasn't found out by the demon lords, Satomi could be the only hero alive if the demon lords managed to kill all of the heroes.

But with Satomi's lolicon personality, I doubt he'll remain on the heroes' side. After all, the demon lords could offer all the lolis Satomi wanted at the price of turning a blind eye towards the demon lords' actions.

I wouldn't be tempted by any offer made by the demon lords to me if they offered me anything they could offer since killing the demon lords and saving the world wasn't my plan in the first place.

Killing the demon lords wasn't my goal, but only a job I needed to do to achieve my goal.

I had died in my past life because of a disease and since I had a weak body that was vulnerable to diseases, I was forced to live in the hospital to keep myself alive and healthy by using the machines at the hospital.

I was cooped up in the hospital for the rest of my life and my only source of entertainment was watching anime and reading comics.

That was why my goal in this second life of mine was to enjoy my life to the fullest! And to achieve my goal, I had to defeat the demon lords and keep my teammates alive.

I wouldn't be able to enjoy my life if all of my friends would be dead and it would instead, create a hole of regret and sorrow in my heart.

That was why I swore to myself to make myself useful to my friends and become stronger so I would be able to protect them!

As I finished maintaining on reminding myself of my goal in this second life of mine, I decided it was time to interfere with the battle of Satomi against the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger.

I was already sick of watching Satomi being repeatedly killed by the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger and witnessing a real-life gore movie scene.

Satomi was like the embodiment of gore since he was immortal and so I decided not to associate myself with him that much if he was against a high-level monster.

Pedonar, Sophie, Aileen, Aerin, and the others weren't available in fighting against the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger except for Satomi so I had no choice but to interfere even if I didn't want to.

I glared at the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger and since I had not killed that much when I was summoned into this world, I didn't possess that much killing intent so I couldn't threaten the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger.

I walked towards the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger and the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger stared at me with its two beady eyes while releasing its killing intent towards me.

The level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger must have attempted to threaten me but that won't work since I had already suffered from a mental side effect from the [Universal Steal] cheat skill numerous times so I was already immune towards fear and other mental debuffs.

I forwarded my right hand towards the head of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger.

"[Universal Steal]!"

I activated [Universal Steal] towards the head of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger and the brain of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger was now on my right hand.

The brainless body of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger flopped on the ground which left Satomi dumbfounded.

A slight pain assaulted my head and it was because of the side effect of the [Universal Steal] cheat skill but it was still manageable.

With this brain of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger in my hand, the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger was certainly dead, no doubt about it.

"With this, all of the 8 high-level monsters are defeated."
