‘Eh? Tobs, why did I randomly receive extra points,’ Mid-step, Cynrik halted his movement, distracted by the notifications currently unblocked by Tobs.

-It wasn’t “Random.” Depending on their Tier, there is a 15% chance of receiving additional points if killing a being. Starting with Tier-2, you can receive 2 points, Tier-3 can receive 3 points, so one so fourth. However, the chance of gaining additional points decreases the higher the Tier.-

‘Tsk, it would have been nice to know that earlier; Wait, didn’t we already kill a bunch of Tier-2’s already? Shouldn’t it have been triggered before?’

-Host Cynrik has shit luck… Unfortunately, I can’t help with that.-

Cynrik went silent upon hearing his system bullying him and swiftly reaped the lives of two more Kobolds before turning his sight on the leader.

-You have killed…-

-You have killed…-

However, unlike before, Cynrik didn’t bother reading over the notifications. The only reason he had, to begin with, was because he felt an abnormal amount of energy well up within his body after the first two kills.

Quickly closing the distance and sheathing his Kodachi, Cynrik circled around to the side of the Kobold leader and eyed his vitals with both arms extended and primed for a hidden blade attack. However, unlike the previous four kills, the leader appeared to not only have thicker scales around its neck and exposed flesh, but it also was wearing some kind of heavy plate style armor on its torso and legs. Additionally, adorning the head was an intricate skull-like helmet with an open faceplate.

“Sinboosu kwark, veltis brakksi guganosk” (These shits, flanking three points.) Standing feet away from the hidden Cynrik, the Kobold Leader mumbled angrily under its breath.

“Etuum, Welkz, Pintin, Groog, Goosk, yarras clissk’ mili puonit trayyew.” (Etuum, Welkz, Pintin, Groog, Go, gather your men and eliminate them.) Then, crossing his arms over his chest and looking in Brance’s direction, the Kobold Leader issued his order to the lizardmen who were supposed to be behind him.

But after a couple of seconds without any response, he looked back in confusion, only to see a couple of small blood splatters across the stone ground where his lackeys should be. With pupils narrowing to slits and his tongue flicking in and out of his mouth rapidly, The Kobold leader was both confused and inraged. He could taste the blood in the air along with the faint smell of feces, informing him that his men had already died.

Not only that, but if these battle-hardened warriors had released their bowels before dying, that signified that something terrible had happened, horrible enough to scare the literal shit out of them before they lost their lives.

The Kobold leader slowly scanned his immediate surroundings, gripping his massive battle-ax tightly, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Meanwhile, Cynrik slowly followed the lizardman with a creepy grin plastered across his face. ‘Welp looks like they’re a bit smarter than expected; I didn’t figure these Lizzys would be so quick to go into detective mode.’

Cynriks eyes continuously scanned over the Kobold Leaders body with [Mana Sight] active, trying to figure out some kind of weak point, a chink in its armor, but kept coming up empty. It was evident that the chest armor and leg armor had some of the stone from the huts mixed into it because it lit up like a Christmas tree the instant he stared at it, causing Cynrik to divert his eyes towards the kobolds arms, tail, and other exposed areas.

The notifications caused Cynrik’s left eye to twitch a couple of times. ‘Damn, everyone’s out there having fun leaving me to act as this fucking lizard’s shadow, BULL SHIT!’

Tired of being passive, Cynrik threw caution to the wind. He had already gathered all the information about the Kobold Leader that he could with [Inspect] and [Mana Sight].

‘Standing around and following it wouldn’t solve anything; I need to move, or else I’ll get left behind and not get a chance to show o… assist the others.’

Although the Kobold Leader was more intelligent than his compatriots, at the end of the day, he still had a tiny brain and had unknowingly separated himself from the group in search of the one who killed his lackeys. As a result, he was alone, which played a massive part in why Cynrik was so keen to be a tad bit reckless in his approach.

With a flick of both wrists, Cynrik swapped his hidden blades to the newly reforged Sunflare hidden blades and dashed forward. Then, using the Kobold Leader’s tail as a foothold, Cynrik ran up the nearly three-meter tall beings back and slashed the back of its neck with his Fire Mana infused hidden blades, slicing through the armor and scales like butter and drawing a loud howl of pain from the Kobold Leader.

He didn’t stop there; digging his toes into the Kobold’s shoulder, Cynrik kicked downward as hard as he could, applying pressure to the Kobold’s shoulder, forcing its body to rotate to the right. Then, contorting his body inward, Cynrik lashed out, striking its neck twice before ending his assault with a neat backflip, landing on one knee while facing the stunned Kobold Leader, who was gripping at its neck, that was spouting blood profusely.

The Kobold Leader glared angrily at Cynrik, who appeared out of nowhere, knowing he only had a few breaths left. Angry that he had been ambushing and was about to die, the Kobold Leader suddenly became desperate and wanted to deal a fatal blow to the one who hurt him. He made a last-ditch effort, letting go of his neck and bringing up its battle-ax, but just as the Kobold Leader was about to attack, a basketball-sized sphere of BlackFire slammed into his chest, hurtling the Kobold leader backward and slamming him into a rocky wall.

With the world dimming and unable to move due to the impact of his body crashing into the wall violently, the Kobold leader silently cursed this child in his mind, moments later, his brain functions ceased, and he was dead.

Cynrik came out victorious after exerting little effort and stored the corpse in his inventory with a wave of his hand before checking the slew of notifications he had received.

-Quest Updated-

-You have received 2 STR and 2 DEX.-

‘NICE, DOUBLE STATS!’ Cynrik cheered in his head after hearing the notification. Then, crossing his arms over his chest and looking out over the battlefield, Cynrik took in the current situations of his party members.

‘Gabby is doing fine; she seems to be moving around well, allowing herself to gain either the high ground or advantageous positioning. Partnered with her fast-paced movement style, she takes out all of the weaker Lizzys targeting her brother. This, in turn, has relieved the pressure on Benny since he isn’t getting surrounded.’

Cynrik watched as the Sanford siblings moved in sync; whenever Gabby fired an arrow, Benny would subconsciously move just enough to avoid it and allow the shot to find its target before following up with his sword to kill the wounded being.

‘I don’t even have to worry about Brance…EHHH, THIS BASTARD LEVELED UP IN BATTLE, WHAT AN ASSHOLE!’ Cynrik’s eyes went wide as he used [Inspect] on his brother, who seemed to be moving faster and hitting harder for some reason. However, he quickly noticed that Brance had increased his level and Stats once again upon using his skill.

‘This is fine, hehe, he’s only getting double XP, while I, the GREATEST MIND OF OUR GENERATION, am still receiving four times XP, hehe, im so smart. TSK TSK, poor Brancie, if only he had been smarter, he too could have been racking in the rewards like me.’

Cynrik didn’t know that Brance had actually chosen to level up with the XP he was gaining before the battle even began. Earlier, he realized there was no point in saving the incoming XP since he wouldn’t be earning double rewards from any kills, so to spite his older brother in some way, he chose to keep raising his level. That and some part of his plot was based on pity. Brance felt bad that Cynrik had been left in the dust, so when they were assigning their XP and Stats, Brance had chosen to bring himself past the threshold of double rewards after analyzing the enemies and getting a good feel for their levels. This was his unspoken way of letting Cynrik catch up.
