Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 204 How To Correct A Genius

With the intention of letting her learn first hand how tricky things can be when fighting against monsters, Dexter had Dana follow him through the confines of the forest in search of something.

"what monster am I going to be fighting with now? Let me guess; another Goblin? Or is it an horned rabbit".

"you wanted to fight against monsters higher than goblins, or do you not".

"i do, yes I do".

Dana was so excited and in high spirits that finally, Dexter was willing to listen to her about upgrading the kind of monsters she challenges.

They walked for a while and having no encounter with another lifeform until they got to their initial destination.

"this is a kobold dungeon. The name is derived from the monsters that are inhabiting it".

Kobolds; a race similar to the Goblins in most aspects, but having a slightly higher combat level than the Goblins do.

Their appearance is similar to that of dogs, but they stand on two feet unlike the dogs do.

Their body is also exceptionally more durable than the Goblins, helping them to absorb light impacts while minimizing the damage from heavy impacts as much as it can.

"i said I wanted to face a monster higher than a goblin, and you bring me to face a monster similar to a goblin? What is the difference in that and fighting with a goblin".

The disappointment on Dana's face was bluntly obvious with an hint of annoyance mixed with it.

She has never faced a kobold before, but she has seen the quest board posted in the adventurers guild.

From the details posted on the guild's board, Dana had seen the reward money for taking down a goblin, and the reward money for taking out a Kobold.

From the two rewards, there was hardly any noticeable difference in their worth.

"sigh..."

Dexter could understand her reasons for being so disappointed, and that goes to show the problem about her that he has been talking about, and looking to reform.

He did not say anything to correct, nor have any intention of refuting her dissatisfaction. He has done more than enough of that, and so far, it hasn't blossom into a positive result, but further leads to amplifying her confident personality.

It is time to do things in practical form, the kind that will stick close to her in ways she would not be expecting.

Ignoring her disappointed expression, Dexter walked into the dungeon with her reluctantly following behind him.

Before going into the dungeon, Dexter had produced light using the available resources at his disposal.

Normally, Caren was in charge of lighting up the path with her skill, but since she is no longer with him, Dexter had learned to adapt and always be prepared by carrying several items with him, storing them in the dimensional storage ring.

The dimensional storage ring is a tool used for storing any items, in a location outside of their axis.

Where or how exactly it works is something he has no idea of, but as long as it is able to do what he wants it to, then he is satisfied with just that.

He torched the light wood in his hand, and used it to light the path through the dungeon.

They have only walked for a little while into the dungeon when they heard sounds of growling.

Dexter stretched his hand out backward to stop Dana from going forward while he stopped as well.

So that whatever was growling would not see them, he moved the hand that was holding unto the torch to the back.

He would have turned it off, but then there is no way they will be able to see clearly in the dark, and that will put them in a lot of disadvantages because unlike them, the monsters have adapted to seeing well in the dark.

"alright listen, here is is th!"

Dana did not allow him to finish talking before she went ahead of him, charging at what was growling in the dark with her sword taking the lead.

"this stubborn girl! Her actions will one day lead her to doing something she will end up getting regrets out of it".

Dexter in a hurry, followed right behind her and made sure he did not lose her trail.

He stretched out his hand holding the torch and light the way forward, for both he and Dana to see with the distance still separating them.

She is on her way to the monster with a dog like face and a body covered by brown furs all over.

Dexter stopped and maintained a distance from Dana who is about to confront the first kobold she came across.

He made sure the distance between he and her, was one that did not hinder her sight with the help of the torch in his hand.

Dana ignored Dexter's attempt at giving her tips on how to face a kobold, she turned a deaf ear to it with the kobold being the only thing in her path.

Her sword hit the shoulder side of the kobold, but did not go deep enough as the kobold was quick to react.

Dexter thought for sure that Dana was going to be flustered and lose her timing of attacks.

He was ready to go in and help her before he scolds her to make her see the point he is trying to make.

Dexter's expectation was betrayed when Dana did better than she had expected by hurriedly moving herself out of the kobold's way in time. f𝘳𝐞𝒆wｅ𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟e𝑙. c𝘰𝓂

She was not taken aback by her weapon unable to penetrate the kobold's skin in one strike, but instead demonstrated her expectancy on any anomaly.

Dana with light steps, hurriedly moved to the kobold's back and thrusted her sword out from there, aiming for its blind spot.

She once again failed to deal any critical damage to the kobold's body, and only managed to attracts its attention to her.

Dana was not shaken up by this, and instead adapted to a strategy that involves wearing it out by using her superior speed to her advantage until it eventually gets taken down.
