They wouldn’t crumble at the first sign of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t die helplessly. That was enough for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the entire distribution, I took a moment to reread the descriptions of all my skills, letting the information settle properly in my mind. Only then did I stand, stretch until my back gave a satisfying crack, and head toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to check on the goblins I had shared skill lines with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also meet up with Gork to start preparing to visit the goblin who held the garnet I needed—my key to securing proper protection and earning a place in the King’s Games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment I stepped outside, I came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four goblins —out of the newest additions to the clan — were kneeling right in front of my quarters, heads bowed so low their foreheads nearly touched the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were they doing here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could even ask, their voices overlapped in shaky, reverent greetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the blessing, Chief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah. So that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg and the others had reacted the same way the first time I shared skills with them, dropping to their knees as if I had handed them a second life. I shouldn’t have been surprised that the new ones were doing it too, but seeing four goblins prostrating themselves at my doorstep still caught me off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a quiet breath and activated[Analyze], directing it toward each of them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their loyalty values had jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not by a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from sharing a few basic skills?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For goblins who had joined only recently, having loyalty spike that high was... significant. And all it took was the gift of a few abilities, and their allegiance crystallized instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense when I thought about it, though. Skills weren’t just power to goblins — they were survival, status, and opportunity. For them, this wasn’t a simple distribution of abilities. This was me taking responsibility for their futures. This was me saying,You belong here. You matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, their loyalty would rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s alright,\" I said, stepping closer so they could lift their heads. \"As long as you keep doing things that help the clan grow, you’ll receive more skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Chief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll serve you to the end!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voices rang out with so much conviction that the air almost vibrated. I nodded once, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was exactly what I wanted to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblins were in high spirits as they left, practically buzzing with energy after receiving their new abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a small breath, preparing to use[Warp]and head straight to Zarah’s location, but before I could even raise my hand, three more goblins hurried up to me, all wide-eyed and trembling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief... Chief... Chief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the blessing, Chief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave them a nod, repeated the same reassurance I’d given the first group, and watched them shuffle away with the same eagerness written all over their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment they disappeared, another group appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood there, greeting wave after wave of goblins, feeling my patience stretch just a little thinner with each passing set of kneeling heads. Couldn’t they at least coordinate and come together like normal people? This trickle-in pattern was going to drain my entire afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the last batch left, bowing and chanting their gratitude as if they’d been blessed by a deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I exhaled and lifted my hand again to warp, but froze when I saw the one person I was planning to check on walking toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the way she carried herself made me lower my hand without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was coming straight at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her from a distance, she seemed perfectly fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No stumbling, no strange aura pouring off her body, no dramatic physical transformation — just Zarah, moving with her usual quiet confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the closer she came, the more I realized somethingwasdifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her appearance hadn’t changed, but the way she carried herself had. There was a calm, composed sharpness to her posture, a kind of quiet authority that wasn’t there before. It wasn’t loud or exaggerated; it was subtle, but unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief,\" she greeted softly, lowering into a small bow before lifting her head again to meet my gaze. \"Once again, thank you for the blessing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... sure... it’s alright,\" I said, and to my own annoyance, my voice came out slightly uneven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood straighter than usual, shoulders pulled back, chin lifted, gaze unwavering. Her eyes locked onto mine with a depth and precision that made the hairs on the back of my neck rise. It wasn’t threatening — justfocused,sharply so, like she was clearer now, more present, more aware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this the influence of[Predator’s Focus]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because right now, it genuinely felt like she could see through me. Not metaphorically — I mean it felt like she was reading everything. My stance, my breathing, the twitch of my fingers, even the shift in my heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, I felt as though she was staring into my soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you feeling?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fantastic,\" she said without hesitation. \"I tested the skill earlier, and it feels like I could never miss an arrow again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her delivery was calm and matter-of-fact, but the confidence behind her words was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her steady like this, without the kind of intense reaction Flogga had gone through, made something loosen inside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe archery-related skills blended more naturally with her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe her foundation was already stable enough to absorb something like this without a struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the reason, she handled the skill line far better than I expected, and that made a thought creep in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she took this so easily...should I...\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-05T20:04:08.078Z",1,"novelbin.me","980d01c94ce0a5f52ec834ed06301c44a95bca97ee61dee3d9280af6f8d0af9d","goblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-chapter-280","goblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-chapter-278",375,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgoblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-cover.jpg"]
