Global Awakening: The Return of the SSS-Rank Liar-Chapter 41: Ambush(II)
*Boom!*
Accompanied by a loud sound, Lin Ye who was too busy dodging the first arrow was unexpectedly attacked from behind causing him to roll a metre away
"Damn! I was careless!" Cursed Lin Ye as felt the arrow that had been lodged into his back from the attack just now
Fortunately, the arrow didn’t seem to be lodged deep as Lin Ye pulled it out after gritting his teeth a bit
However, due to the current situation, he couldn’t treat the injury any more than this as he had already been surrounded
"Wahhh!"
"Wahhh!"
Accompanied by unintelligible sounds, short green screen creatures armed with bows, maces, and daggers began to emerge all around him
One by one, each of them steadily made their way toward him as some had even begun to drool at the corner of their lips obviously seeing him as prey
Seeing this, Lin Ye didn’t move as he just quietly took a stance getting ready to attack or defend if anything happened next
*Damn goblins, I forgot how annoying these guys can be!*
*Had it not been for my plans, with my current ability wiping you all out would be child’s play*
*Speaking of which, the tower system should react to the current situation a bit*
Thinking of this, Lin Ye pretended to be weak and unsteady trying to put on an act for the audience
And the tower, much like in his prediction quickly issued an emergency quest
[Emergency quest!: You are currently under attack by multiple goblins, Please survive!
Clear conditions: either escape or defeat all enemies
Quest rewards: to be determined based on performance
Quest punishment: death!]
Looking at the Quest details, Lin Ye had a smile on his face
For other challengers given such a quest, escaping would have been the first thing on their mind
However, Lin Ye was different!
Different from others, Lin Ye knew that if he wanted to maximize the benefits and get the best rewards, defeating the goblins was his only option
Thankfully, he had already planned to do that
"Haha, hello there my wonderful viewers!"
"As you can see, I am currently in quite the conundrum as I am surrounded by these green things called goblins"
"However, soft someone with an S class ability much like myself, this much is nothing just watch"
Speaking to the live broadcast, Lin Ye picked up a small stone from around him before shouting one word
"Absorption!"
And just as he said this, the part of the audience that had previously doubted his ability couldn’t help but rub their eyes in doubt
As under their gaze, Lin Ye ’s body began to slowly change
[You have used S class ability absorption (5%) on a stone (common)]
[you gain C class ability stone skin]
[Stone skin: able to change the skin to stone by consuming a certain amount of stamina
Note: Does having a stone head mean you have a thick skull?]
Followed by a series of prompts only seen by Lin Ye , the stone in his hand slowly began to disappear, and with it, his body began to change
First off, his skin became paler in color having the tendency to match the stone which it just absorbed
Not only that, along with his eyes turning grey, Lin Ye felt his body become heavier and stronger
Now with his sudden transformation, even the a regular ouch from him would be equivalent to punching someone with a stone block
Thinking of this, Lin Ye knew that his preparations were completed
Now all he needed to do was use this ability and defeat the goblins in a style that seemed entertaining to the audience to gain some more viewers
Luckily for that, he had already thought up a plan
"Hey green skins, is that all you got?"
"Ganging up on an unharmed human and still you missed, I guess you guys are just a bunch of cowards" shouted Lin Ye
Mocking the goblins with a series of taunts, Lin Ye had decided to finish off all of them with the least amount of time and the most amount of skill
And what better way to do that than to gather them all in one place?
Realising this, Lin Ye continued to draw aggro toward himself as he maintained a fighting stance
Fortunately, it worked, as before anyone could react the twenty or so goblins all began to rush towards him eating to deal with him
And a goblin who looked a bit taller than the rest with two maces one in each hand took the lead charging the furthest toward him
"Wahhh! Warri!! Lash!" He yelled
Swing the maces in its hand from left to right, the goblin seemed ready to beat Lin Ye to a pulp without any consideration
Unfortunately, it seemed that things wouldn’t be going it’s way
*Boom!*
Punching out a full thrust, Lin Ye directly dented the incoming goblin’s face with a fist knocking out a few teeth in the progress
And as for his hand, only a few cracks showing the strength behind the punch
"Haha is this all you got? I was expecting a bit more from you who so proudly launched an ambush on me"
Looking at the goblin he knocked out, Lin Ye stepped on its head further mocking the goblin as if to say ’I’m stepping on your leader, so what?’
And as one would expect, the other goblins seeing this couldn’t help but go into a frenzy as anger cluttered their minds up and seeing him do such a things
Obviously, things had turned serious
*snap!*
*snap!*
Accompanied by the sound of breaking branches, two arrows which had just been fired by the goblins literally broke after making contact with his skin
It seems that thanks to his new ability, Lin Ye wouldn’t have to worry about the archers now
"Haha is that all you got? Then it seems like I’m the one going to come at you!"
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Following Lin Ye ’s laugh, he directly plunged himself into the goblins ranks launching a flurry of attacks from within
*Bang!*
Launching another punch, Lin Ye directly blasted a goblins head off splashing blood onto his face
All of a sudden, rather than a battle it seemed like the whole thing had turned into a slaughter fest with Lin Ye the slaughterer
In fact, some younger members of the audience had to be taken away by their parents and some sensitive ones even vomited from the gory sight
However, Lin Ye beneath the mask was at the peak of his excitement at the moment! Looking closely his eyes seemed to dilate with excitement!
*Haha yes this is it! This is the feeling I missed all those years fighting in the universe !*
*The feeling of your blood flowing as you get deeper into battle, the feeling like a shock passing through your spine as you take each life*
*This is it!*
*The pleasure of battle!*
Savoring the current battle, Lin Ye couldn’t help but flashback to his former life where fighting battles was a norm for him as some serious battles might even take years to finish
*Haha now that I think of it, was it during the first or the second Blue Star Great War that I realized such a feeling?*
*Back then if it wasn’t for the fact that I still respected the human race and I was afraid of losing myself I might have continued slaughtering till the battlefield was empty*
*But even that didn’t stop me as I even created an alias named Shura and snuck into various alien battlefields as a mercenary just to get that feeling"
*Thinking about it now, ’shura’ might have been one of the reasons for my identity to get exposed back then*
Sighing inwardly, Lin Ye knew he had to control himself or at least try not to lose it, or else his already established fan base would disappear leaving him back to square one
And even if they didn’t disappear, without a doubt their numbers would significantly reduce
Neither of which Lin Ye was willing to see
*Boom!*
Blasting off the last goblins head, Lin Ye slowly calmed himself down as he turned toward the floating eyeball with a smile
Only this time although it might have been his illusion, but Lin Ye felt the eyeball might have been shivering
"Haha hello dear viewers, as you can see those goblins are no match for me! An S-class ability user!"
"Now let’s see what kind of price the tower has prepared for me who eliminated all of them!"
Talking to the audience, Lin Ye slyly shifted their attention from the gruesome scene just now, to the reward given by the tower
After all, this would be the first time they had ever seen someone complete a quest much less so one of such a difficulty
Given this fact, they couldn’t help but be curious about what the reward could be
And for Lin Ye , this was the perfect chance for him to allow them to forget what just happened
So with this in mind, Lin Ye promptly called out the tower
"Hey tower! I’m done so where is my reward?"
And sure enough, following Lin Ye ’s call, the surroundings in front of him began to glow in bright yellow
[Congratulations trialist for getting a-]
