Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-840

Ning leveled up to Level 23 before he found his way to the Gobling Dungeon.

The dungeon lay at the foot of the hill to the west and allowed anyone below level 30 to join.

It recommended people to be at parties, but Ning decided to go at it alone.

The gobling dungeon was a small, worn-down village where the goblings lived. As soon as he entered, their feral attitude made it so that they would try to kill Ning at all costs.

Ning activated the new card he had pulled out, which created a fog around the place that made the goblings miss half of their attacks.

Ning weaved through the rest of the attacks and attacked back on his own. He used Poison spore to damage every single gobling and used the rest of his arsenal to deal with the rest.

There were 3 types of goblings that fought him openly. They were the Spear Gobling, the Gobling Archer, and the Gobling Hunters.

The hunters used knives and daggers and were proficient at being sneaky. Fortunately, Ning's poison spore was enough to deal with them, given that their HP was even less than 250.

He took quite a bit of damage of course, but his HP was over 2000 now, and that wasn't something the Goblings could easily deal with even when they attacked together.

Once the gobling army was dealt with, Ning went inside to find the Gobling King that was the main boss of this dungeon. At least, the people outside told him so.

When he entered the village, he found the Gobling King. It wasn't even that hard to miss him as he was sitting on a giant chair at the center, with a subject beside him.

As soon as Ning arrived, the giant king jumped out of his chair and landed in front of Ning with his giant cleaver-like blade.

Ning pulled a card and smiled.

"Let's fight then. Activate."

[Fate's Aid (Uncommon) has been triggered.]

Ning's spear suddenly burst into fire as he rushed to attack the gobling king.

Poison Spore, Wind Arrow, Seed bullet— All 3 of these skills landed on the king before he even arrived, and when he did, he stabbed the king from the front, dealing 70 damage.

However, after that attack, the fire in his spear also dealt damage to the boss, dealing 60% of his INT as magical damage on each attack.

Ning tried using his observer stone in between, but that proved useless. He just didn't have the luck to activate it against an opponent that was so high above him.

Instead, he looked at the health bar above the boss to find out what his HP was.

'3500? 4000? Seems like it,' Ning thought. He dodged the boss's attacks as he fought back and slowly brought the boss's HP down to 50%. However, before it reached 50%, Ning jumped away from the boss and arrived at the Gobling Wizard that was hiding behind him.

The Gobling Wizard added buff to the boss as the fight persisted, so if he let it be, the boss would only grow stronger after reaching 50% when the Wizard would buff him up.

Instead, Ning decided to kill the wizard and be done with it.

He swung his spear, dealing 85 damage to the beast with very low armor. He stabbed him and then jumped to the side as the boss's cleaver fell where Ning was.

Ning pulled out another card and sighed. It was a card that changed his AGI to DEF for a while.

'I can't have that,' Ning thought.

"Sacrifice."

<You've suffered from a debuff. You will now take 20% more magic damage>

'Magic damage…' Ning turned towards the Wizard. That was the only one that could deal magic damage here so he had to kill him quickly.

Ning jumped back into the fold, dodging the boss's attack. The Wizard used a debuff on him that made him move slower, but Ning still went towards him and hit him.

Ning took a single instance of damage from the boss while he was killing the wizard, but that alone took nearly 200 of his HP away.

The boss was slow, but he definitely hit his size.

'Dammit!' Ning thought as he was still slowed by the wizard's debuff and from what he could see, he still had 20 seconds of the slow remaining.

However, it was only him and the boss now.

Ning ran around for a while, dodging when he could, but he still took another instance of damage.

Fortunately, the 20 seconds were done, and Ning was back on his feet, ready to fight.

Without the Wizard's aid, the boss couldn't survive Ning's assault. There were no 50% hp or 20% hp phases for this once the wizard died, so Ning had a relatively easy time defeating him.

In the end, he managed to defeat the boss with more than 70% of his HP remaining.

[Congratulations, You have defeated the Gobling King]

[You've received Gobling King's Bracer]

[You've received Gobling King's ear]

[You've received 10,000 Exp.]

[You've leveled up]

[Dungeon Clear time: 8 minutes 32 seconds]

"That's not bad," Ning thought to himself. He checked the King's bracer and smiled when he noticed the stats.

[Gobling King's Bracer (Common)

STR: 15

VIT: 10

AGI: 5]

There was nothing but stats, but the stat alone was rather great. At least, they were better than the armlet he was wearing.

Although, he would now have to lose 10 DEF, which was terrible in a sense.

"I'm level 24 now," Ning thought. He needed to be stronger just to party with people entering the Brownwolf Dungeon.

He would have to be stronger if he wanted something more. So, he needed to grind a little bit more.

That was all he had done since starting this game, but he would have to do it a bit longer again.

So, he turned towards the portal that had appeared and walked out of the dungeon, before turning around and getting right back in there.
