Reincarnation Of The Cheater 43 Goblin's Rage 6

"The floors have all been stronger than the last in some type of way so we need to be cautious and wary. I've sent a message to the guild master and if we don't send another message within 3 hours they are to presume we are dead and then the guild master will come himself with the best that they can send at the time." Finn says continuing off of what s.h.i.+n said.

As we enter into the Eighth Floor this Goblin doesn't have any aura at all and I don't even see anything here.

"Are we alone?" I ask while looking towards Finn to get his opinion on this situation.

We enter the small room and there still isn't any reaction to my Presence Detection. Is there an enemy with the Stealth skill higher than my current Presence Detection?

"This enemy shouldn't be as strong but its stealth is probably level 5 or higher. Stay close together and be alert of your surroundings."

Looking around and still seeing nothing I decided to try out a new word with word magic. Making the word while trying to find the enemy is my main focus.

"Discover"

Using the word Discover it immediately causes a thin wave of mana into our surroundings and everything in this room becomes seen as plain as day. This not only includes Finn, s.h.i.+n, and myself but also a Goblin that was trying to sneak up from behind me. The Goblin itself hasn't noticed and neither have Finn and s.h.i.+n so the Gobin just continues to tiptoe and try to sneak up behind me as quiet as he can. Looking at the incoming Goblin I decide that this one must be an a.s.sa.s.sin type so I have to steal an important skill before he has the chance to notice that I'm alerted to his presence.

'So shadow magic is a thing. I remember reading something about that in a manga. The manipulation skill doesn't really look that enticing to me so I guess I'll just take Control Shadow or something since I should be able to get the manipulation skill after trying some more. Now that I know that I should have stolen the soul intent earlier. I guess you learn after your mistakes.'

'Skill Steal "Control Shadow".'

[Activating skill... Stealing skill from target... Done]

[Congratulations the skill "Control Shadow (???)(???)" has been acquired]

[Congratulations a new magic type "Shadow" has been unlocked.]

[Congratulations you have gained the t.i.tle, "User of Shadow Magic"]

"Watch out the Goblin is right there." I say while pointing out the Goblin as it started to notice that something was wrong. I guess I shouldn't have stared at it for so long and it ended up suspicious of me instead.

As I point out the Goblin I can tell it was shocked at first because it's stealth was undone but then immediately tries to go back into stealth and retreat from the fight. It seems like t.i.tles don't lie, this guy is a huge coward and his highest leveled skill is something that helps in running away. At first sight of being caught, he immediately ran back into hiding. He may think he is currently in hiding but the word magic that I used earlier is still in effect and I can't tell when it will end.

"Finn, I'll give you directions so you help me deal with him. Watch out though he has the unique magic called shadow magic. His skills are all focused on running at taking advantage of the element of surprise." I say to Finn so we can get this floor done with. If the Goblin isn't even strong then what's the point of him being higher ranked than the other two.

"Don't underestimate the Goblin, it's on the lower floor so it has to be stronger. It may be stronger by relying on something though so be careful of traps laying around." s.h.i.+n says while looking around for traps to disarm while we deal with the Goblin.

As we approach the Goblin that thinks it's stealth is still working he put himself behind a rock near the corner of the room. This guy literally just trapped himself, how is a Goblin this stupid supposed to be stronger than the ones who actually put up a fight up on the higher floors. The Goblin is trying to use the shadows to his advantage and made sure to get rid of his. Seeing our shadows approach the Goblin tries to hold in a laugh as he gets ready to pounce on the unexpecting trespa.s.sers.

"Soul Manipulation"

Using soul manipulation on the unsuspecting Goblin who thought we didn't see him proved to be a success as he is stuck in place and all his skills in which he used has come undone. Seeing a shadow pop up behind the rock and then the Goblin right after it Finn strikes the Goblin that can't move due to being stunned from the shock of having his soul crushed. This Goblin's soul is larger than the Goblin who had the original soul manipulation skill so I guess he was stronger in some way. The Goblin tries to fight back against the soul attack but is rendered helpless after Finn plunged the Intermediate Sword into its heart.

[You have killed a "Goblin a.s.sa.s.sin"... Received 2000 Experience]

[You have only received half the experience since you have not dealt the killing blow.]

As I'm paying attention to the notifications from the system and being disappointed with only getting half the experience I hear a shout from s.h.i.+n who is behind us.

"Watch out, there's another Goblin a.s.sa.s.sin!" s.h.i.+n yells at us as he tries to rush over to help us out.
