being exposed, the remaining team members hid relatively far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Gauss, restricted by the casting range of the Mage’s Hand, stayed within a ten-meter radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his hiding spot and scent masking had been taken care of by Medvedeva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the six goblins drawing nearer hadn’t noticed anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching the gray rabbit, one of the goblins cautiously tossed a stone in the rabbit’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone landed beside the gray rabbit, and still, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the goblins visibly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing their surroundings one by one, confirming that there were no other creatures in the surrounding open area, they eagerly rushed under the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The largest, leading goblin grabbed the gray rabbit with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An excited yet cruel smile appeared on its face, and murky drool dripped from its thick lips as its yellowed fingernails tightened, snuffing out the lifeless gray rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wah wah wah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other goblins crowded around, jumping up and down around the gray rabbit in the lead goblin’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly free meal made them very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, goblins are omnivores, and they don’t always have meat to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could begin their celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Snap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subtle sound of a triggered mechanism echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblins, seemingly hearing the noise, raised their heads to look toward the source of the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they saw was a net unfurling and quickly descending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Triggered by Mage’s Hand, the capture net was released by the mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the counterweights at the edges of the capture net, it descended rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, it was right above the goblins’ heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing what was happening, the goblins were about to turn and flee, but it was clearly too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clustered together, the goblins who hadn’t had time to run were directly covered by the large net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by the specially-designed closing mechanism with magnets, the capture net tightened, trapping the goblins like a closing purse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wah wah wah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wah wah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron spikes entwined in the net pierced the goblins’ bodies, causing them to scream in pain instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with their instinctive struggles, the entangled capture net tightened, causing further wounds as the iron spikes dug into their flesh, trapping them even more securely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the poison applied beforehand on the iron spikes started to take effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it really that easy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss, the closest, witnessed everything clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanism crafted by the Wandering Apprentice Medvedeva worked even better than he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of goblins, enough to cause some trouble for the group, were trapped effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he wasn’t sure how long they could be detained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss noticed that a few goblins were enduring the pain and starting to cut at the capture net with their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other members of the Night Owl Squad came out from their hiding spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, none of them were as fast as Gauss, who was the closest due to being responsible for triggering the mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they approached, Gauss was already striding quickly with a rapier toward the goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t going to miss this perfect opportunity to finish them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the trapped goblins, his rapier mercilessly struck at each goblin’s vital spots swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each stab hit flesh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every thrust left a bloody hole in their bodies, and viscous, foul-smelling blood gushed forth like a fountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no feelings for the goblins, not even sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword in his hand was as cold as a knife slaughtering fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goblin killed *1\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total monsters killed: 13\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total monsters killed: 14\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total monsters killed: 15\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total monsters killed: 18\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six goblins fell under Gauss’s relentless rapier, transforming into a tally on the bestiary’s cumulative kill count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One step closer to the next stage of fifty kills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it seemed, perhaps just a illusion, that after dispatching those six goblins, his rapier felt increasingly fluid in his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newfound harmony seemed as if he’d magically trained with the rapier for several additional days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Gauss swiftly \"slaughtered\" the goblins, the rest arrived leisurely near the trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was no urgent situation, everyone took their time getting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gauss already lowering his blade, they were in even less of a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who killed them didn’t matter, and Gauss’s rapier had little chance of damaging Medvedeva’s nets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gauss, just a heads up, we’re not distributing rewards based on kill count, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though triggering the mechanism was your work, you can’t claim all the task rewards for these six goblins,\" Levin joked, half-seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" Gauss nodded, feeling delighted. He had already received the reward he wanted the most; the rest were extras, and the mission’s spoils would surely include his share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I simply wanted to hone my sword skills against goblins.\" He casually explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, he was quite pleased. Compared to his strenuous efforts in Birch Village against goblins, these six kills felt almost like a gift, effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was thanks to the pre-laid mechanisms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss silently noted in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you skillfully use tools and traps, even alone, he might easily and safely annihilate a smaller group of goblins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He specialized in small-scale beast traps, but for large capture traps, he’ll need to take lessons from Medvedeva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This halfway proficient Hunter’s skill at making traps was obviously inferior to Medvedeva’s, a Wandering Apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on this, he suddenly understood why Medvedeva, despite being aloof and uncommunicative, held a steadfast position in the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every squad needs someone who can both scout, make traps, concoct poisons, and support with dagger and one-handed crossbow at the flanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe, this cloaked, gloomy character was indeed the true core of the Night Owl Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss glanced at Medvedeva, who quietly rejoined the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, my squad will also include a formidable Wanderer. Gauss silently thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of effortlessly \"looting heads\" like now in the future, he couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden smile sent a chill down Doyle’s spine as he quietly observed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it worth being this happy just for killing a few defenseless goblins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Gauss truly a psychological deviant, or did he have some untold past, like a deep-seated grudge against goblins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doyle’s mind couldn’t help but wander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, folks. Prepare for frontal combat,\" Levin suddenly reminded everyone. \"The enemy should be coming soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\" Gauss’s heart also tightened, reeling in his wandering thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion just made, whether the sound of falling nets, footsteps, or the prolonged cries from goblins, would undoubtedly alarm the goblins within the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medvedeva’s reconnaissance indicated 15-22 goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With six already dispatched, there were roughly 9-16 remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently contemplating, everyone got into formation, fully prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, a chaotic shuffle of footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of goblins arrived on the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five goblins wielding small wooden shields and clubs were at the forefront, followed by three bearing Stone Spears and two with Steel Blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final four goblin archers lingered at the rear, evidently looking for a favorable position to shoot from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of fourteen goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there was no exceptional individual like last time in Birch Village, this group exhibited much better discipline, with even simple but complete professional roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the threat posed by the four goblin archers could not be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the level of threat a nearly twenty-strong goblin tribe should present; last time in Birch Village, the goblins were just two small teams merged, with only one abnormal goblin without enough time to gather fighting strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the number and formation of goblins from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levin briefly outlined the tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Medvedeva, Oliver. Handle the goblin archers; we’ll take care of the front.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If needed, I can also provide ranged support with Magic Missiles,\" Gauss added, eager to practice skills in real combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To gain strength, he would seize every opportunity to attempt getting kills during the battle; his original role in the team was free beyond launching Magic Missiles at core enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who said getting kills isn’t a form of support?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, appreciate it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s get ready for battle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wipe them out!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levin slammed the Oak Great Shield into the ground, and everyone instantly entered battle mode.\u003C\u002Fp>",1374,"2026-06-05T18:36:34.847Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d5a5f39f57d932604681fce6a0355610b9c476a0fabac66b6dcae7dfd5e0014","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-33","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-31",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
