Glutton Berserker ~The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels~

Chapter 17: Glutton Caused by Gluttony

After I checked the state of the Kobolds, I started my action.

[Fate, do you have a plan?]

Greed seems to find it interesting. However, I think he understands what kind of strategy that I want to do.

[I’ll eat while fighting]

[Do you finally understand? It’s about time for you to detach yourself from the normal way that everyone else fights; I was actually getting into trouble because of it. You need to keep fighting while slowly consuming your enemies’ souls]

I set-up the black bow while paying attention to being focus. I aimed at one Kobold Junior.

The magic arrow accurately pierced the left eyes of the Kobold Junior.

[Glutton skill activated]

[Endurance +880, Physical Strength +890, Maguc +350, Spirit +400, Agility +780 has been added to status]

The start of the hunt is signaled by the inorganic voice in my head.

I shot the second arrow at a Kobold Juniors eye, and a shot at a third. My status rose further.

I was attacking from a location that I have made sure to be safe. The Kobolds’ formation began to crumble into disorder. However, the Crown Kobold raised its voice and calmed the other Kobolds.

And then, judging the direction where the arrow flew from, it gave instructions to the Kobolds.

As I thought, this crown Kobold is strong and has a cautious character.

It is a fact that it sent scouts yesterday and today before it came down to the valley after confirming its safety.

The Crown Kobold doesn’t move from his spot, making two Assault Kobolds and ten Kobold Juniors go to the direction where I’m lurking.

[They came. Go retreat now]

[Yeah]

I quietly withdraw straight to the depth of the forest. Now, they will trace my smell that remains here.

I hide in the shadow of a big rock that I found within reasonable distance. Although I’m in a hidden place, the smell of my trail still remains. The Kobolds will find me easily.

If I do not do that, I will be troubled even after I invited you all.

[They came, Fate]

I take a sneak peek out from the big stone, and I appraise one of the Assault Kobolds.

– Assault Kobold – Lv 40

Endurance: 50000

Physical Strength: 50000

Magic: 27000

Spirit: 28000

Agility: 45000

Skill: Agility Strengthening (Medium)

It seems my status is higher than its. Then, I will aim for the small fish first.

I did a preemptive attack on the Kobolds who were trying to surround me, who was hiding behind the rock.

I jumped on the rock, continuously shooting with the Black Bow.

Five Kobold Juniors, Six, Seven… I won’t let you to escape. Even if you try to evade, this magic arrow will pursue and pierce you without fail.

All of the Kobold Juniors who had surrounded me were defeated.

Hearing the inorganic voice in my head, instinctively I smile broadly.

If you defeat a lot of small fishes, it’ll definitely become helpful. That’s what I have learned through Goblin hunting.

Now only two Assault Kobolds are the remaining pursuers.

Although my status exceeded theirs, there was not a great difference.

Still, if I can kill one of them first, the other one will be dead in no time.

While jumping off the rock, I change the weapon mode from Black Bow to Black Sword.

The Assault Kobold tried to tear me up with its sharp claw, swinging down its right arm.

However, it was too late to move. I easily slipped into its bosom, bisecting its belly like the big tree beside it.

While blood sprays out, the upper body of the Assault Kobold falls off.

[Glutton skill activated]

[Endurance +50000, Physical Strength +50000, Magic +27000, Spirit +28000, Agility +45000 has been added to the status]

[Agility Strengthening (Medium) has been added to the skill]

With this, the other Assault Kobold won’t be any issue.

Its existence is already like a Kobold Junior to me. It’s possible for me to hunt him without any difficulty.

Did you instinctively notice the quality of killing intent that I release has changed? The Assault Kobold begins to take some distance away from me slowly.

And it crawled like a dog and ran away. I’m sure it will ask for reinforcements from the Crown Kobold.

[Don’t let it escape]

[Without you saying it]

I change the black sword grid to a black bow, and release magic arrows several times towards the Assault Kobold. All hit the back of its head, not even allowing any cries as it dies.

[Glutton skill activated]

[Endurance +50000, Physical Strength +50000, Magic +27000, Spirit +28000, Agility +45000 has been added to the status]

I was suddenly filled full of vigour. W-what is this… This pleasant and euphoriic feeling must be related with the Glutton skill.

While I suppressing my high, I checked my status with [Appraisal] skill.

My status has considerably approached the status of the Crown Kobold. If I can just consume one Assault Kobold, it’ll be almost the same.

I went back to the location where the Crown Kobold was located with a different route from the one I left from.

I quietly looked at them from the space between the trees. They are still there.

The Kobolds made lines to protect the Crown Kobold.

It is really a careful guy.

Well, no matter how long you wait for your Kobold followers that you sent, they won’t return anymore. I have converted them into my own power to defeat you.

As a return gift, I’ll send you magic arrow. To gain more power, I pulled the bow and shot the arrow.

The magic arrow avoided the Kobold Juniors and moved in a complex trajectory before piercing the head of Assault Kobold.

[Glutton skill activated]

[Endurance +50000, Physical Strength +50000, Magic +27000, Spirit +28000, Agility +45000 has been added to the status]

When they received another surprise attack that killed an Assault Kobold, the lower-ranked Kobold Juniors were shaken and began to be frightened.

Their formation is falling apart; after all, the dogs cannot go against their instinct of fear.

Without any hesitation, I dashed out from my cover and drew closer.

The Crown Kobold intercepted and counterattacked me, however, my status currently almost is the same of this fellow’s.

A sharp claw swirls through the wind and slightly tore up my shoulder, but I successfully cut down the last Assault Kobold who was standing in the back with my black sword.

I slide onto the ground with my current momentum and face the Crown Kobold while keeping distance.

[Glutton skill activated]

[Endurance +50000, Physical Strength +50000, Magic +27000, Spirit +28000, Agility +45000 has been added to the status]

Now, I have surpassed, no, overtaken you.

Because of the Auto-Recovery skill, the scratch on my shoulder healed at once. It’s a really handy skill.

I confirmed my status— the power that is overflowing within me without stopping.

While the Kobold Juniors ran around trying to escape, only the Crown Kobold was left, glaring at me hatefully.

Translator Note: Somehow I imagine this Crown Kobold like the one in SAO
