Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

Chapter 65 Berserk Hobgoblin & Hell Mode



After having killed the hobgoblin, I chose to blitz through the rest of the dungeon with one restriction that I was forcing myself to not break. I was going to get through the entire dungeon without using anything other than the rock 'spells'/ attacks.

While at first, this was slightly hard since I was just getting used to using earth 'magic' as some would call it, another problem quickly arose when I had gotten the hang of it.

"Crap... I'm low on mana." I cursed before running to a corner of the cave and sitting down cross-legged.

While using life drain was a nice way of gaining back health and vitality, it did not give me back the mana I used after every spell, ability, or skill. An example of this is the situation that I have been put in, where even though I was filled with vitality, I still felt emptied of my mana.

[Hp: 150/150]

[Mana: 10/50]

'I don't have enough mana to waste on these monsters.' I thought to myself with a frown, referring to the goblins as monsters rather than beings or creatures like I had done.

The reason for this was mainly because I didn't want to recognize them as beings that were similar to me. I wanted to dehumanize them as much as possible so that killing them would not affect me.

This seemed to work temporarily but I knew that it would only hinder me in the long run because in the end, my goal was to end the elves no matter what, and while they might all look like monsters in my eyes, deep down I doubted that everyone in their race would be like that especially now that I had traveled 300 million years back in time.

After taking a short rest, I moved through the last tunnel passing by the decapitated head of a hobgoblin. When I had left the tunnel, my eyes didn't even flicker to look at it because there was something much more debilitating in front of me.

Looking at the thing in front of me, I could not help but think back to the hobgoblins that were only 2 meters tall, yet unlike those monsters that were about the same size as me, the one in front of me completely towered over me, leaving me nowhere to run.

It seemed like the dungeon ceiling had been modified for this creature too, being around 10 meters away from the ground rather than the normal 5 meters it was before.

The thing had green skin just like the other goblins, being more on the olive green side rather than being fully green. It had bulging muscles and stood almost 4 meters tall with a mace in its hand.

The dread I felt from it alone told me how strong it was, but the killing intent mixed in with battle intent that it seemed to naturally release only made it more intimidating.

After having rested, I had around 15 mana left within me, meaning I could either use earth spike 5 times or try using blood eyes combined with pinpoint for around 9 minutes. However, I knew that I had 2 more earth abilities that I hadn't used yet, making me enter the void world before immediately touching one of the runes.

A powerful surge of mana went through my arm and reached my fingertips, yet by the time that I activated my skill, I felt a dangerous presence some closer by the second, wielding its mace and ready to hack me down at a moment's notice.

The dread quickly informed me of its trajectory and allowed me to move out of its area of attack.

Sliding to the right, I swiped up with my right hand before quickly activating blood eyes.

Since this is the first time I have used the skill, it meant that it would not have any mana cost and would also have a 100% chance of activation, just like the last skill I had used.

However, I did not need the 100% chance of activation since I already knew the technique for activating and manipulating an earth spell to my desire.

[Pinpoint activated]

'Earth pillar!' I thought, causing a cylinder of earth around 1 meter in diameter to shoot out of the ground and throw the hobgoblin into the air before smashing it onto the ceiling.

I felt a total of 6 mana points drain out of me because of manual activation of my blood eyes and pinpoint skill.

The hobgoblin fell to the ground once again before puking blood, but what concerned me at that moment was the ceiling that appeared to be crumbling, as evidenced by dust that constantly fell along with some rock fragments.

My eyes narrowed but I didn't say anything. Shooting both of my arms forward, I activated one of the runes, but before I could even shoot out my attack, I watched the hobgoblin get up and disappear at a frightening speed.

[Your opponent has entered the berserk state]

[Dungeon of reverence is entering hell mode]

[All creatures of the dungeon will have their stats boosted 3 times]

'Crap!' I shouted inwardly.

In an instant, I had been forced to drop to the ground as a blade cleaved through the air and swiped right past me.

I felt the wind in my hair, yet that was the least of my problems.

Swiftly dashing to the side and rolling, I evaded a stomp from the hobgoblin that had the potential to crush me on the spot, yet the dread told me that the attack was not done there.

The moment my eyes had landed on the hobgoblin, I saw it turn into a blur and shoot towards me once again, this time with its blade ready to cut me down wherever I tried to move.

Seeing this, I chose to take advantage of its movement and used one of my skills to counter its attack and finally stomped onto the ground with all the power I could muster.

In the next moment, an enormous pillar 1.5 meters in diameter shot out of the ground under my feet, appearing in front of the hobgoblin with enough speed that evading the attack had become close to impossible.

I watched as the pillar slammed into the center of the hobgoblin's chest but I knew better than hoping it would be enough.

Without hesitation, I swiped both my hands in opposite directions, creating two earth spikes that shot from either side and stabbed into the weak points located with my pinpoint skill.

When the two spikes penetrated the hobgoblin's calves, I didn't hesitate to shoot forward with all the power I had within my legs, making myself appear above the kneeling hobgoblin, before plugging an earth spike through its head with one swift motion.
