6: A desperate counterattack!

Once the synthesis was complete, new information regarding Arthur surfaced on the illusory panel.

[Name: Arthur]

[Level: Tier 1]

[Class: None]

[Race: Hybrid Goblin (Bloodline: Medium Goblin 50% + Common Human 30% + Common Slime 5% + Forest Giant Bear 15%)]

[Racial Talent: Vigorous Energy (As a Medium Goblin, you are dominated by reproductive desires and possess much higher energy than Low-tier Goblins. Constitution +2)]

[Racial Talent: Soft Body (While it is unknown why a Goblin has Slime blood, it makes you more resistant to strikes and reduces a portion of blunt force damage)]

[Racial Talent: Dexterous Hands (Your technique is delicate and exquisite, allowing you to perform many fine tasks without error. Agility +1)]

[Racial Talent: Giant Bear Strength (Brute force inherited from the Forest Giant Bear clan. Strength +2, Constitution +1)]

[Constitution: 6 (3+2+1) (Affects Stamina, Endurance, Vitality)]

[Strength: 5 (3+2) (Affects Attack Power, Defense)]

[Agility: 5 (4+1) (Affects Dexterity, Speed)]

[Intelligence: 1 (Affects Magic Attack, Magic Defense, Magic Talent)]

[Commentary: It's hard to imagine a Goblin's bloodline being so mixed; even those guys who don't know their biological fathers would find it hard to compare.]

The four stats of an adult Goblin are 3, 3, 3, and 1 respectively, but after several syntheses, Arthur's stats have already far exceeded the scope of an ordinary adult Goblin.

Supported by a high Constitution of 6 and a full 5 points of Strength, Arthur's height shot up to one hundred and eighty centimeters!

Perhaps due to the inclusion of the Forest Giant Bear bloodline, the muscles on Arthur's body became exceptionally developed; both his arms and legs possessed tendons as hard as rock.

The eight-pack on his abdomen was even more smooth and natural, as if carved by a knife, looking full of power at a single glance!

However, that ugly Goblin face remained unchanged.

In fact, because of the inclusion of the Medium Goblin in the synthesis materials, he looked even more wretched instead.

Even the panel had become a deeper shade of dark green.

Of course, a qualified powerhouse would not be held back by their appearance.

"I've gotten uglier, but I've also gotten stronger!"

Arthur clenched his fists, feeling the explosive power surging throughout his body, and a confident smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

After saying that, Arthur turned his gaze and cast it toward the Golden Slime.

"Gulu-lu~"

The stamina consumed by that previous super 'Western-style' body slam was clearly not small; even the Golden Slime, a Third-Tier Monster, was struggling a bit.

At this moment, a hint of exhaustion showed on the Golden Slime's glittering golden face.

Beneath it, a deep pit had already been smashed into the stream, and the stream water from upstream was continuously pouring into it.

However, upon sensing Arthur's provocative gaze, the Golden Slime ignored its physical fatigue and began charging up for a fierce attack once more.

"Gulu-lu! (The glory of the Slime cannot be desecrated!)"

[Mount Tai Press: Charges up to cause a highly destructive attack based on the combined effects of stamina consumed, the caster's own mass, the height of the fall, and world gravity. After each use, the user will fall into a brief state of exhaustion and require time to recover.]

Looking up at the Golden Slime falling from the sky, Arthur gave a 'hehe' laugh and dodged the strike using the same familiar pattern.

Don't be fooled by Arthur's relaxed appearance; in reality, achieving this was not easy.

In addition to the necessary Agility foundation, it also required superb predictive abilities.

If one couldn't accurately estimate the dodging direction and distance, they would very likely be crushed by the Golden Slime.

At that point, to survive, one would have to 'cut off the tail' to escape... When he was just sent flying, Arthur's broken sword had also flown out.

After dodging the Golden Slime's attack, Arthur moved toward the vicinity of the broken sword and picked it up.

"It's quite a bit lighter."

He weighed the broken sword in his hand and immediately noticed the change.

A month ago, when he first obtained this broken sword, Arthur still found it slightly difficult to use.

After all, it was a product forged from fine steel; the weight foundation was right there.

With a month of continuous practice, the broken sword became increasingly handy, but ultimately it was still a bit clunky, and swinging it felt noticeably strenuous.

But it was different now.

After undergoing synthesis once more, Arthur was no longer the same as before.

Now, swinging this broken sword was as smooth as flowing water, as if it were an extension of his body, without the slightest bit of hindrance!

"The Golden Slime's attack pattern is singular, posing a limited threat to me, and plus it's been chasing for a long time, so its stamina consumption is quite high."

"On the contrary, my strength has undergone a qualitative change, and with a weapon in hand, I might just have a fighting chance!"

"As one wanes and the other waxes, the advantage is mine!"

"I can win!"

Thinking of this, a blazing fire ignited in Arthur's eyes!

"This is a Third-Tier Monster, and a special species at that—it's definitely a rare material!"

"Even if it might not be compatible with me, I can use it to test the waters with the broken sword."

"After all, since I've gotten stronger, my weapon can't be left behind."

The words were crude but the logic was sound; in short, Arthur decided to hunt this Golden Slime!

On this continent, whether it be human Adventurers, monsters, or even other races, they are all divided into Tiers one through nine.

The various stats for Tier 1 are between 0 and 10.

Tier 2 fluctuates within the range of 11 to 20.

Following this logic, the stats for Tier 3 should be between 21 and 30.

Through such a long period of observation, Arthur was certain that the Golden Slime's Constitution and Strength were at the peak level of Tier 3.

But its Agility was not even as good as his own, and he was only Tier 1.

Intelligence was even less worth mentioning; it acted entirely based on instinct, driven by the fury of revenge—it might as well be 0.

Besides that, due to the curse of the Slime God, the relationship between the Golden Slime and Arthur was like fire and water—absolutely irreconcilable.

Unless Arthur died, the Golden Slime would absolutely never give up!

"Relying on my speed advantage, I only need to keep kiting it, back and forth, constantly wearing it down, and I will inevitably be able to kill it!"

Quickly organizing his tactics, Arthur soon began his move.

"Hey, you lump of yellow poop, are you ready to die?"

"Gulu-lu! (What are you babbling about? Take my Mount Tai Press!)"

Facing Arthur's provocation, the Golden Slime didn't waste a single word; it still charged up for a fierce attack, and an unadorned Mount Tai Press fell from the sky!

*Duang~*

The massive body crashed down heavily, and the ground instantly cracked with many fissures, spreading out everywhere like a spiderweb.

But the result still hadn't changed.

It was an ineffective attack!

"Hehehe, it's my turn to strike!"

Arthur gave a 'hehe' laugh and rushed forward, holding the broken sword.
