Redo! Last Chance for a Dying World!

Chapter 25: Bit of Advice

The sound of one Goblin's head smacking against another was oddly comical, sounding like a character hitting their head in the old cartoons. He didn't let go of the one he was holding, pulling it in and kneeing it in the stomach.

The other 4 Goblins, along with the one he'd pushed away, all jumped him at once. He cast Restoration on himself and completely ignored the daggers and clubs that were slashing and beating down on him. In return, he pummeled them with his staff, while watching 14 Damage fall from their HP every 5 seconds. Between the 168 damage from his Aura over 60 seconds and his constant bashing, he quickly killed all of the Level 8 and 9 Goblins.

During this time, the others hadn't been idle. With the loss of 9 Goblins, the human group now outnumbered the rest. It was still a tough battle, but a couple of the men had managed to wrestle some clubs away and proceeded to beat the dagger holding Goblins to death. There were still a few injuries, and the sword-wielding Goblins were easily causing wounds to the other members.

:Goblin (Lvl 10); 411/450 HP:

Geth blocked its next sword strike with his staff, causing it to turn his way. Its eyes took on a look of anger when it noticed its companions' bodies on the ground.

It wasted no time changing targets, brandishing its sword even more quickly than before. A red Aura started to shine over its body and the attacks became even more fierce. Geth backed away from the survivors and cast Corruption Aura again.

He struggled to block the Goblin's erratic attacks while letting his Aura whittle down its HP. Two of the attacks managed to hit him, causing long lacerations on his left arm and shoulder. They were bleeding, but he could tell that they didn't cut deep.

After 30 seconds, the red aura diminished and the Goblin could barely hold up his sword. Geth didn't waste this chance as he tackled the creature to the ground and started bashing it in the head with the butt of his staff. His third strike pierced through the creature's eye, killing it instantly.

He glanced over at his old neighbors. The two with the clubs had finished off the weaker Goblins and ganged up against the last one with the sword. Geth watch one strike after another bashing it in the head, its death was inevitable.

It was obvious that the creatures relied on greater numbers to win a fight than any type of actual Skill. He sent a small but deep mud puddle under one of its feet when he noticed that red Aura starting to seep from its pores. The creature's leg sunk, causing it to fall and interrupt the Skill.

After that, it only took a few seconds of bashing for the men to finish it off. Once it died, he noticed a card fall beside its sword. Geth didn't speak to them at first, he just casually walked around the field, picking up the cores from the creatures he'd killed. 'These would be decent for protecting the Dungeon.' He thought.

The men of the group watched him, as the women consoled their children. He finally nodded towards them after he'd stored all of the weapons and cores from the Goblins he'd killed. He wouldn't touch their loot, they earned it themselves.

The two men with the clubs stepped forward after his greeting, one of them looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Hey, aren't you..."

He was quickly cut off. "Sorry, but it's best that you forget that name. I'll be going by Geth for now."

The man quickly nodded. "Alright Geth, thank you for helping us, this is the third time these fuckers have ambushed us. There were more this time, and they were stronger."

Geth just nodded as he listened, and when the man was done speaking he pointed to their makeshift shelter. "That's the reason the creatures are being lured to you. If you don't destroy that and leave, the next group will likely be more than you can handle." After saying that, he thought for a moment. "It could also be used as a way to Level up quickly, but you have your families to consider."

The man just looked at him confused and asked, "What would they want without shelter? It's barely a shack."

Geth gave him a simpler explanation of what Albus had told him. The man's eyes briefly shone with understanding, and then hesitancy. How could he provide shelter if they couldn't build?

Geth could understand what he was thinking. "It wouldn't be as comfortable, but you can use the large leaves from the trees and hang them on lower branches. Make a type natural structure, it seems to me that the Mana doesn't want the pureness of this planet being interrupted." He said. "You may still receive an occasional attack from creatures, but it shouldn't be to this scale."

Relief showed on the man's face, he knew that it was speculation, but at least it was a direction that they could go in. He asked a few more questions, about how Geth had gotten so strong, where his family was, and where he'd gotten his equipment.

He short answered most of the questions, but he did explain a bit to them about Talents and Skills. "It looks like most of you are Level 5, so you should have received a TP and an option for your first Talent, your Grimoire can explain to you exactly what those are."

Geth walked over and picked up something from the Level 10 Goblin's corpse. "This is a Skill card, when you kill your first enemy creature that has its own Grimoire, it's guaranteed to drop a Skill." He handed it over to the man he was talking to, as he'd delivered the final blow.

"Pick up these weapons to keep, they are free gifts along with the experience and cores. And the biggest piece of advice I can give you is to not look at your Grimoire as a book but as a sentient being. They are intelligent, and you could have learned this information from them this whole time."
