From Ant to Abyssal Demon - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Shadow Assault… Splatter!

“Shadow Assault… Splatter!”

“￥%@#!”

“Find it! Kill it!” [Goblin language]

When the news of the Goblin Centurion and five Goblin Guards being killed by the Black Demon reached Gorg’s ears, the Goblin General was beyond furious.

Ordinary Goblins were timid, foolish, and cowardly. As long as it didn’t affect the race’s reproduction and survival, he didn’t care how many of them died.

The Goblin Centurions and Goblin Guards, however, were painstakingly nurtured by him, the foundation of his rule and the creation of his Goblin kingdom.

The loss of each Goblin Centurion and Goblin Guard was a huge blow to him.

Enraged, Gorg wanted to find Su Bai immediately and tear him to pieces.

At this moment, Su Bai had already stealthily approached the second Goblin Centurion.

“Shadow Assault!”

A black figure shot out like an arrow from the bow.

Before the Goblin Centurion could react, Su Bai had already pounced on its back.

“Demon!”

“Black Demon!”

In the Goblin Guards’ terrified cries, the Goblin Centurion hastily turned around, but it was too late.

The corner of its eye only caught a glimpse of five sharp claws, and its unprotected neck was almost entirely shredded.

Green blood gushed out, and the Goblin Centurion’s massive body collapsed, slowly losing consciousness.

[Ding! You killed a Goblin Centurion, gaining 1000 experience points.]

[You killed a Goblin Centurion above your level with an elite attribute template. You have acquired the Goblin Centurion’s attribute template.]

The system’s notification sounded as expected.

Glancing at Gorg, who was running towards him in a rage, Su Bai swung his claws, killing the five Goblin Guards who were just about to retaliate, then dived into the bushes.

Thanks to the powerful stealth effect of the 【Shadow Assault】 skill, as long as he entered shadows or behind cover, he could quickly hide his figure.

Unless he was directly exposed in front of the Goblins, these foolish creatures couldn’t find him.

“Damn it!

“Come out!

“I’ll kill you!”

Rushing to the side of the dead Goblin Centurion, Gorg roared in anger, swinging his long-handled broadsword and cutting down all the surrounding vegetation within several meters.

Having lost two Goblin Centurions and ten Goblin Guards in quick succession, Gorg’s rage was almost overwhelming his rationality.

But he was not like the low-level Goblins. He knew what needed to be done.

He issued a command, and the distant Centurion quickly led five Goblin Guards to join Gorg.

Gorg was confident the Black Demon was not his match.

Once the Goblin Centurions and Goblin Guards regrouped around him, the Black Demon wouldn’t dare appear.

Then, by using ordinary Goblins as bait to lure out and kill the Black Demon, the crisis in Goblin City would be resolved.

This was Gorg’s strategy.

Unfortunately, Gorg overestimated his own intelligence and underestimated Su Bai’s speed.

By the time Gorg’s order was given and the Goblin Centurion and Goblin Guards were heading towards him, Su Bai was already waiting on their route.

When the Goblin Centurion was only a few dozen meters from Gorg, the demon reappeared!

It was the familiar black figure.

The same five razor-sharp claws.

“No!”

Under Gorg’s incredulous gaze and furious roar, the third Goblin Centurion fell.

[Ding! You killed a Goblin Centurion, gaining 1000 experience points and 1 soul point.]

[You killed a Goblin Centurion above your level with an elite attribute template. You have acquired the Goblin Centurion’s attribute template.]

Su Bai did not continue attacking the Goblin Guards.

With a slight smile, his black body swiftly darted into the forest, disappearing from Gorg’s sight in a few leaps.

“Coward, come out!

“I, the General, will kill you myself!!

“Tear you to pieces!!!”

The furious roar echoed far and wide as Gorg slashed his long-handled broadsword into the ground, creating a deep gash where Su Bai had vanished.

But no matter how angry he was, he still couldn’t find Su Bai.

After a long time, Gorg calmed down.

He ordered the Goblin City’s Hunters, Swordsmen, and Warriors to continuously search the forest for Su Bai’s figure, while he himself, along with the Goblin Priest and the last Goblin Centurion, returned to the central clearing.

The Black Demon excelled at stealth, and in the forest, it had a significant advantage in both ambushing and escaping.

The best tactic was to choose an open area without cover.

The clearing outside the “palace,” a training ground modeled after human lords’ arenas, became the best choice.

But…

Just as Gorg brought the Goblin Priest, the Goblin Centurion, and the remaining ten Goblin Guards back to the clearing, a sudden change occurred—

“Shadow Assault!”

Su Bai’s figure suddenly burst out from a tent, crossing several meters in an instant, appearing right in front of the Goblin Priest.

In the next moment, five sharp claws directly pierced the Goblin Priest’s skull!

[Ding! You killed a Goblin Priest, gaining 1500 experience points and 1 soul point.]

[You killed a Goblin Priest above your level with a warrior attribute template. You have acquired the Goblin Priest’s attribute template.]
