Even at its death, the goblin didn't let go of the stone, tightly holding it in his hands.

"A strange black stone…"

With the ways things are progressing right now, Kyson could already guess what this stone is.

But in order to make sure, he still used 'Identification' on it.

[Demon Stone]

Description: Pure demonic energy that's been compressed and turned into stone. Contains rich demonic energy that easily contaminates the surroundings.

…

When the results appeared, Kyson's eyes showed a knowing look.

"Just as I expected."

From the beginning, the stone was already emitting the same aura as the thick lines on the goblin's body.

Because of that, it is not hard to guess what the stone really is.

A question suddenly popped inside Kyson's mind.

"Why are they carrying demon stones?"

Kyson furrowed his brow and thought about it.

Suddenly, he looked back behind him.

Seeing the forest filled trees that pitch black trees swaying every time the wind blows, a thought flashed in his mind.

"Don't tell me… is this something they deliberately made?"

Kyson's eyes contracted and he exclaimed, "They are contaminating the forest!"

Each goblin went in a different direction. With all of them carrying a demon stone, they can spread the demonic energy throughout the forest just by scattering it everywhere.

Sooner or later, the whole forest will be contaminated by demonic energy. By then, Kyson could only imagine how it would affect him and the whole Porac City.

His mind started running and he ordered Cocky.

"Cocky, try to catch up to those goblins and get rid of them. All of them."

"Cluck cluck!"

Without hesitation, Cocky left after responding to his words.

Kyson looked at Cocky's disappearing back for a while before turning his gaze back at the cave entrance.

"Now then, since my goal is to kill goblins, I guess I'll have to go inside their place…"

Kyson looked around and made sure that there's no one around before leaving his spot.

He quietly walked to the cave and arrived right outside not long later.

As he got closer, a strong ominous feeling suddenly enveloped.

"Ack.."

At the same time, a sizzling sound came from his Qi Protection.

Looking closely, the miasma coming from the cave has actually come into contact with him at some point.

Kyson's face can't help but turn ugly as he realizes something.

"This is not good."

He can feel it.

The rapid decrease of martial qi in his body is very apparent.

At the current rate, his martial qi is being consumed by 1 point every second.

With his less than 300 points of martial qi, he won't even last 5 minutes here.

"Damn it, I have to hurry up!"

Knowing that he can't waste any time, Kyson decided to risk it.

He entered the cave in a rush, directly diving into the thick miasma.

Even though he's being protected by the layer of Qi Protection, Kyson still felt something affecting his mind.

He felt nauseous and the corner of his eye twitched again and again.

"This damned… demonic energy!"

Deep into the cave, the surroundings are actually bright in contrast to what one might expect.

The light was coming from the walls. Like light bulbs, it emits a light that brightens up the surroundings.

Thanks to that, Kyson didn't have a hard time navigating inside the cave.

Soon, Kyson arrived at his target destination.

The main settlement of the goblins.

Up ahead, crude thatched houses could be seen all over the places without any order.

Then at the center of it all, an eye-catching crystal that is about 5 meters big was erected.

Even from far away, Kyson could see that the crystal is just like the stone from before, demonic by nature.

On the ground around it, dozens of goblins are prostrating, showing a look of reverence–fanaticism!

Just like the goblins who went out, the eyes of all the goblins here are also black, only the pupils shone with bright red.

Kyson looked around, searching for the Goblins General.

However, after looking for a while, he failed to spot the Goblin General in the settlement.

Only normal goblins could be seen, and most of them are just on the ground, surrounding the crystal.

A grin suddenly appeared on Kyson's lips.

"Since the general is not even here… I will go and finish this quick!"

A hint of madness flashed in Kyson's eyes, before disappearing and going back to normal.

Without wasting any second, Kyson didn't even bother acting sneaky and just charged at those goblins.

The first one to be dealt with was a goblin nearby that was taking a walk.

It didn't even notice Kyson charging before its head flew up.

Shiiiiiiik!

Pssssh!

The harsh sound of the molo knife cutting through flesh seems to be infinitely magnified inside this cave.

It resounded everywhere and ended up being heard by all the goblins in the settlement.

In unison, the goblins turned their head in his direction, looking at him with their eerie black eyes.

"Kik?"

"Kikkik?"

"Kiiiiiik!"

Then the next second, all the goblins, even those groveling on the ground, dashed towards him with swift steps.

Watching all of this happen, the corner of Kyson's lips twitched.

"If only I knew that things would still end up like this, I wouldn't have bothered concealing myself outside."

While muttering such words, Kyson wasn't idle either.

With his foot firm on the ground, he waved his molo knife around, slashing at those goblins who dared attack him.

"Chi chi chi chi."

"Kiiiik!"

At Kyson's every slash, the cry of a goblin follows.

There are some who didn't even get the chance to let out a cry and died directly, their heads separated from their body.

But Kyson didn't have the heart to pay them any mind.

At this time, all he's thinking about is to kill and end all the goblins fast.

Time ticked by, as seconds got added to the time, Kyson's martial qi decreased.

Fighting the goblins also consumed martial qi, greatly increasing his expenditure.

At this time, more than a dozen goblins are already lying on the ground, dead.

But the number of charging goblins are still many, making Kyson frown.

"This can't go on like this. I need to hurry up."

Two and a half minutes has passed since he entered the cave.

The remaining martial qi in his body is now less than half.

Most of the consumption of martial qi is coming from the Qi Protection.

However, that's something he can't remove.

After all, taking off the Qi Protection while he's here in this demonic energy rich cave is tantamount to courting death.

'Hais… if only Roast is here. Getting rid of this bunch will probably only take a second.'

Kyson can't help but sigh in his heart.

Because of the miasma, he can't take out Chicky nor Roast.

This made him feel bitter as he had no means of large scale attacks.

However, now is not the time for him to be grumbling.

Kyson focused on the goblins again.

In his mind, he silently activated his skill [All Might] on himself.

A small chunk of his remaining martial qi separated itself from the core and went to all corners of his body.

For a second, Kyson felt warm which was immediately replaced with the strong feeling of strength surging in his muscles.

Affected by the skill, his strength more than doubled.

His all-round capability increased.

That means his speed as well.

Feeling it, a smile crept up his lips.

'This strength… should be enough to end this quickly!'

With that thought, Kyson's movements suddenly became faster.

At the same time, he took his first step, starting to move forward as he killed those in front.

Like a human grinder, he chopped down goblins after goblins, not letting off even one of them that came near him.

"Kiiiiik!"

"Accckkkk!"

"Kikiiik!"

The wails of the goblins could be heard from miles away.

But as Kyson is busily killing goblins, he didn't notice that on the ground, the blood spilled from the bodies of the dead goblins have actually started behaving abnormally.

As if with thought of their own, they started moving, flowing in the same direction.

The crystal.

Buckets after buckets of goblin blood flowed to the crystal.

The purpose of it is unknown.

…

15 seconds later, Kyson finally brought down his molo knife on the last demonized goblin.

"Phew~ that's finally done."

Kyson heaved a sigh of relief.

But just as he was starting to relax, he finally noticed the abnormality happening around him.

In the end, Kyson could only stare and say,

"... F*ck."
