After the initial panic, the normal kobolds slowly regained their composure. They picked up some stones from the ground and threw them at Søren. Even though the stones didn't deal much damage, they still hurt when they hit him, especially when more than ten stones were thrown at him from all directions. Søren's 20 points of Dexterity didn't help much. No matter how hard he tried to dodge, there wasn't enough space for him to get hit.
Even though the damage was only 1 point, it still hurt a lot!
Burning Hand!
With his ability to recognize spells, Søren rolled away in an instant. He still remembered quite a lot of the Drows' swordsmanship, and he instantly cut off the legs of three kobolds nearby. This move was once nicknamed "Earth Rolling Blade" because it didn't look good. Not many people learned it, but almost all melee fighters learned it because it was a life-saving skill in a chaotic battle. Rangers, Warriors, and Wanderers who had advanced into Earthly Hall Swordsmen were top-notch experts in chaotic battles.
This set of combat skills required high coordination, agility, flexibility, speed, and internal organs!
The Drows' swordsmanship focused on attacking the lower body. Søren had seen an expert cut off the legs of more than ten enemies in an instant. The enemies didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, and the ground was littered with severed limbs.
True experts wouldn't fly around in the air because there was no place to borrow or deflect the force. They would become live targets before they even landed.
The most they used was diving and jumping.
Even if they could jump up to a height of five to six meters, or even ten meters, they wouldn't expose themselves in the air.
The flames on Søren's body were extinguished as he rolled on the ground.
However, as the Kobold Warlock moved, the flames from Burning Hand followed. This was one of the most troublesome level 1 spells, and it was like maggots in one's bones. Soran gritted his teeth, grabbed a kobold's corpse, and threw it at the sorcerer. About 50 pounds was still within his explosive range. The kobold's corpse was thrown directly at the sorcerer, and at the same time, its spell was interrupted. Søren was caught off guard by the Kobolds who were jumping and rolling around in all directions. Once again, he was hit by a sword.
Søren twisted his waist and got up. The moment he got up, he grabbed the ankle of a Kobold with one hand. The Kobold let out a terrified cry. He swung the Kobold in a circle, forcing the enemies around him to back away. Then, he bent his body and jumped five meters away, breaking out of the encirclement of the Kobolds. In a chaotic battle, one must not be surrounded by enemies. Otherwise, no matter how high one's Evasion and reflexes were, it would be useless. This was because there was not enough space for one to move around. In the end, one would still have to face them head-on.
Swoosh!
Søren took out his crossbow again and shot an arrow at the Kobold Warlock.
Some of the kobolds took out their short bows and started shooting at Søren. However, their poor archery skills were unable to hit Søren, who was moving at high speed. Instead, they hit the other kobolds behind him.
Clang!
Søren pulled out his scimitar and spun it around, successfully blocking an arrow. Perhaps it was because he suddenly felt good, he actually used the blade to block three arrows consecutively.
"Die!"
Søren once again pounced at the Kobold Warlock in the distance. Spellcasters were weak in close combat, and their Physique was far inferior to that of Warriors. He was confident that he could cut the Kobold Warlock in front of him into pieces with one strike.
— Frost Palm!
The Kobold Warlock suddenly struck out with its palm. A faint blue light appeared in the center of its palm. Søren, who was charging at him, was instantly enveloped by a cold aura. From his scimitar to his arm, and then to his eyebrows, his entire body was covered in a thin layer of frost. The bone-chilling cold seeped into his body, and even his hands became stiff.
— Shadow Strike!
Søren gritted his teeth and endured the first-circle spell 'Frost Palm'. He rushed in front of the Kobold Warlock and instantly swung his scimitar down. A formless shadow energy gathered, and the Kobold Warlock's head was instantly chopped off.
The thin layer of frost on its body was shattered and quickly melted away.
The frost formed by magic would not last for too long. It would usually dissipate after a while.
Spellcasters were always this dangerous!
Fortunately, the Kobold Warlock was already dead. Søren didn't have time to look behind him. He kicked his legs and pounced at the Kobold Archer in the distance.
Once the leader died, the Kobold Warlock would collapse.
In other words, if they felt that they couldn't defeat the enemy, they would start to run away. Søren had spent so much effort, and naturally, he didn't want the enemy to run away. He had to kill as many of them as possible before the Kobold Warlock's morale collapsed. This was because once the Kobolds started to flee, Søren wouldn't be able to find them in the complex environment of the forest. It would be equivalent to losing hundreds of Slaughter EXP for nothing.
This was also the reason why the Kobolds in the wilderness were so difficult to kill. Once they couldn't defeat the enemy, they would run away faster than hyenas!
You could either surround them or use ranged attacks to kill them. Otherwise, you could only hunt them down one by one. Most importantly, they knew how to split up and run.
The death of their leader caused the Kobolds to panic.
Some of the more cowardly ones tried to escape, while the braver ones wavered. After all, there was only one enemy, and it seemed to be injured.
Most of them were Kobold Warriors that surrounded them.
In their eyes, they outnumbered the enemy. At the very least, they wouldn't easily run away until more than half of them were dead or injured.
The battle had been going on for a few minutes.
Søren's continuous attacks had consumed a lot of his stamina, and his movements were slower than before. Although he managed to dodge most of the attacks, he was still injured. It was just that the injuries weren't fatal. Injuries in the wilderness were unavoidable, especially when there were too many enemies. His leather armor blocked the arrows, and most of the wounds were just scratches on his skin. There were also some bruises caused by rocks. The arrows didn't hit Søren many times, but the rocks did hit him many times. Since they didn't have to worry about killing their own kind, the Kobolds threw a lot of rocks at him.
When the rocks hit Søren, they also made the other Kobolds cry out in pain.
The real damage was from the 1st-circle spells' Burning Hand 'and' Frost Palm '. The former caused 8 points of burn damage, while the latter caused 6 points of frostbite. If it wasn't for his Profession Level 5, he would've been put into a [Heavily Injured] status, and his strength would've been reduced by half.
However, as his injuries worsened and his stamina was depleted, Søren started to feel a little powerless.
He wasn't a Warrior.
If it was a Level 5 Warrior, he would've just worn a chainmail, and he would've been able to kill the Kobolds.
If he had a shield, the battle would've been even easier.
The only thing he had to worry about was his stamina not being able to keep up. If he was too slow, he would be kited by the Kobolds, and he wouldn't be able to use his explosive power to rush to the side of the Kobold Sorcerer.
Armor greatly affected his movement speed and reaction speed.
"Level up the Rogue class!"
Facing the remaining twenty Kobolds, Søren decisively chose to level up.
A row of data appeared in front of his eyes.
"The Rogue class has leveled up to Level 6."
"Received 24 (DEX 20 + (INT 18-10) * 0.5) Skill Points, HP increased by 11 (Profession HP 6 + (CON 19-10) * 0.5)."
"Received 1 Free Attribute Point."
"Obtained 1 Talent Point, Obtained 1 Weapon Point."
…
Søren didn't have time to allocate other attributes, so he directly added 1 Free Attribute Point to Vitality, and his Vitality increased from 19 points to 20 points.
A surge of vitality burst out from Søren's body!
His originally tired body immediately recovered, and the 20 points of Vitality even made his wounds slightly itchy. Even the stones that the Kobolds threw at him didn't hurt or itch.
Extraordinary Domain!
The 20 points of Vitality brought about a huge difference, and at the same time, it also restored his stamina to its peak.
Søren, who was originally a lot slower, suddenly burst out with power. The curved sword in his hand drew a cold light, and directly cut a Kobold in half. He then took a deep breath, jumped, and dived. The moment he landed, he swung his sword and killed two Kobold Archers on the spot. Even the short bows made of hardwood were cut in half when they blocked his attack.
— — "Spinning Strike!"
Although he didn't have any combat abilities, Søren still relied on his abundant stamina and extraordinary Dexterity to perform the Rogue Blade Master's moves. His body spun 360 degrees on the spot, and the curved sword drew an arc in the trajectory of the arc, cutting three Kobolds from their shoulders to their waists. Then, the moment he retracted his sword, he stabbed down and nailed a Kobold to the ground.
The morale of the Kobolds finally collapsed.
The ordinary Kobolds began to throw away their weapons and run away. Even the Kobold Warriors were hesitant and fearful because the enemy in front of them seemed to have suddenly become stronger.
Søren didn't stop at all. Wherever his curved sword went, limbs would be cut off!
Before the Kobolds went into the forest, he killed the Warriors one by one, and then began to clean up the other Kobolds.
Unfortunately.
After all, he was only one person, and there were still a dozen or so Kobolds that ran away.
They dived into the bushes and bushes and soon disappeared without a trace. It was very troublesome to catch up with them!
Clang.
Søren sheathed his sword, let out a long sigh, and then began to bandage his wounds.
The arrow wound was a little better because the leather armor blocked it. However, the wound on his leg that was cut by the Kobold needed a simple bandage.
A row of data appeared in front of him:
"The battle is over!"
"After a difficult battle, your skills have improved."
"Dodge (Move) + 1, Dodge (Roll) + 2, Parry + 1, Listen (Location by Listening to the Wind) + 1."
