Part-241

  James took a moment to catch his breath, feeling a rush of adrenaline c through his veins. He wasn't dohere were still twoblins lurking in the shadows(the first two didn't die), watg him with wary eyes. Their hesitation only fueled his determination, and James decided it was time to use a skill he'd retly acquired.

  “Snake Jab,” he whispered, feeling a surge of energy gather in his arm. In a fsh, he thrust his sword forward, and to his surprise, the bde flew several meters through the air, pierg one of the goblins in the chest. The creature let out a strangled gasp before colpsing, its body disiing into smoke.

  “Got you,” James muttered, retrieving his sword and turning to face the st remaining goblin. The creature stared at him with wide eyes, clearly shaken by the dispy of power. Without wasting any time, James employed his rhythmic sshing teique against the goblin.

  Taking a deep breath, James felt an immense amount of strength gather in his arms as he raised his sword high above his head. With every ounce of his strength eled into a single, devastating ssh, he brought the wooden bde down onto the goblin.

  The impact was immediate and explosive. The grouh the goblin cracked, sending a shockwave rippling outwards and causing the dungeon floor to tremble. The goblin's on shattered into pieces, and the sheer force of the attack sent the creature flying backward, smming into the dungeon wall with a siing thud.

  James stood there, panting heavily, his heart rag as he watched the goblin dissolve into smoke. He gnced down at his hands, still trembling from the exertion, and couldn’t help but grin. This ower—real, tangible power. It wasn’t just about swinging a sword mindlessly; it was about eling his strength, skill, and experieo a single, decisive blow.

  A familiar notification appeared before him:

  *gratutions! You have received a neon skill: Earth Divider. Rank: C. Cooldown: 20 seds. Description: When you ssh downward, you activate the Earth Divider skill by your will. It uses 100% of your total strength to create a huge impact.*

  James couldn’t suppress the excitement that welled up inside him. He had earhis skill through hard work aermination, and now it was his to wield. He closed his eyes, taking a moment to savor the victory. For the first time in a long while, he felt like he was making real progress. This wasn’t just about surviving anymore—he was thriving.

  Wiping the sweat from his brow, James attached his sword in the bad turoward the exit of the Level-2 Early Mid Se.

  James ehe Level 2 Early Midse with a sense of anticipation aermination. His eyes sed the dimly lit, cavernous area, quickly log onto the eight goblins waiting for him. As usual, the group was divided: foblins wielded crude, rusted swords while the other four stood back, drawing their bows, ready to rain down arrows on any who dared approach. James could feel the adrenaline already beginning to course through his veins.
