Chapter 46 - Chapter 46 Magical "Camouflage" Ogre Blocking the Road

The information that appeared on the attribute panel.

Let Nolan know that his sudden shout just now had scared the opponent out.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

A large number of birds flew out of the jungle and departed towards the distance.

Nolan stared intently ahead, at the seemingly quiet jungle, still unable to find any trace of a creature.

After such a long period of exploration,

Nolan had long figured out some basic conditions for triggering the "Player" ability.

The Goblin tracking him must be within his line of sight!

Otherwise, no information would appear on the attribute panel.

The opponent could hide from his sight and perception, but not from the innate ability of "Player."

First-tier magic "Camouflage"?

Nolan's eyes flashed; he knew this magic had the ability to reduce one's presence and allow one to blend in with the surrounding jungle environment.

Similar to a chameleon.

Moreover, this magic belonged to the type that only faith-based spellcasters could use.

According to the profession he had speculated earlier!

There were only two basic professions: Forest Priest and Druid.

Of course, some intermediate and high-tier professions, like Forest Mage, could also use it, but he didn't think that Goblin could possess those professions.

A Druid?

Skilled in tracking and capable of using faith-based magic.

Although professions were only divided into basic, intermediate, and high-tier levels, even professions of the same level had strengths and weaknesses.

For example, a Paladin, though a warrior profession, possessed various blessing skills and the ability to cast faith-based magic.

In professional judgment, a Paladin was still a warrior profession and would not be added to the spellcaster level.

Druids were a similar case.

Of course, another possibility could not be ruled out!

The opponent possessed the "Forest Priest" profession, which was more of a support spellcaster. If so, then the opponent should also have a second profession skilled in tracking.

That is, a dual-class practitioner!

These thoughts flashed quickly through Nolan's mind, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

Since he could determine the general location, all that remained was to force the opponent out.

Although the magic "Camouflage" provided extremely high concealment in a jungle environment, the caster could not engage in strenuous movement.

Rustle—

Rustle—

Just as Nolan was about to rush out of this narrow jungle path, a violent sound suddenly came from the tall trees on both sides of the path's entrance.

The next moment!

Two massive Ogres charged out of the forest, blocking the entrance to the narrow path.

Seeing this scene,

Nolan was first stunned, then sneered.

They were truly well-prepared!

These two Ogres were clearly meant to block the entrance. There must be a considerable number of Ogres in that Goblin settlement. If he were to rush in recklessly, in this terrain, once these two Ogres blocked the entrance!

Even if he could kill them, it would waste the optimal escape time. If other Ogres surrounded him, he would truly be in danger.

Bang!

Nolan stomped hard on the ground with both feet, accelerating his already running movement, charging towards the entrance as swiftly as a leopard.

"Quick Slash!"

A low shout rang out.

Before the two Ogres could even stand firm in the gap, Nolan charged first at the Ogre on the left, his iron sword swiftly delivering a horizontal slash!

Pfft!

Blood gushed out.

A powerful force poured from the blade, and the Ogre on the left was directly cut in half at the waist. At such close range, green blood splattered all over Nolan.

He twisted his head!

Nolan, unconcerned, charged again at the Ogre on the right.

Another quick slash!

Without the skill's enhancement, the power and speed of this sword strike had noticeably decreased.

The Ogre on the right showed a panicked expression in its eyes, but compared to the Ogre on the left, it had time to react and quickly raised the huge wooden club in its hand to block in front of itself.

Crack—

The iron sword cut into the wooden club, splinters flying. The thick wooden club was cut about 2/3 of the way through by the iron sword before stopping.

The immense force generated by Nolan's sword swing even made this Ogre take a step back.

The strength of a max-level "Sword Saint" was higher than that of an Ogre, whose average level was only around thirteen or fourteen. Even with the racial attribute bonus of a demi-human, Nolan's strength still held the upper hand.

What a pity!

Nolan looked at the Ogre blocking his attack, a look of regret appearing in his eyes.

After all, his weapon was too poor.

If only he had a magic weapon... no, a weapon made of excellent metal, the opponent wouldn't have been able to block his sword strike.

Seeing that he had blocked the terrifying attack of the human in front of him, who could kill his companion with one sword strike!

The Ogre on the right showed a confused look in its eyes, seemingly not understanding how its companion had been killed with one sword.

However, this confusion,

was clearly not worth pondering for an Ogre. It only knew that the human in front of it couldn't kill it. The panicked expression disappeared, replaced by a ferocious, vicious look on its face.

The arm wielding the wooden club was suppressed by the iron sword!

The Ogre raised its other arm, clenched into a fist, and violently smashed it towards Nolan in front of it.

A strong gust of wind came!

Nolan merely shifted his body sideways and easily dodged the punch.

"Seeing a companion killed so easily, if it were a human, they would have turned and run long ago. Yet, it still counter-attacks?"

Nolan, half-turned, looked at the huge fist that roared past him, speaking mockingly.

This punch was full of power; if hit, he would certainly be injured, but if it didn't hit, it was meaningless.

Nolan raised his free left hand, aiming at the Ogre's heart. In an instant, an iron sword appeared in the palm of his left hand.

He pushed hard forward!

This iron sword easily pierced through the Ogre's rough, tough skin, embedding itself in its heart.

Agh, roar!!

With a forceful twist, the Ogre immediately let out an incomparably tragic wail.

Pfft!

The iron sword was pulled out.

Nolan ignored the Ogre, which was collapsing in pain, stepped over the two Ogres, and walked towards the jungle ahead.

Just a few steps out, the information on the attribute panel had already refreshed.

'Gained 310 experience'

'Gained 285 experience'

'Experience: 3215 / 5000'

Even with tenacious vitality, one severed body and one pierced heart, they didn't last a few seconds before completely dying.

At the same time!

"Roar!!"

"Waaah Roar!!"

"Agh Roar!"

"..."

Almost at the same moment the two Ogres were killed, a series of beast-like roars suddenly erupted from the Goblin tribe behind.

Nolan turned his head and glanced back. He saw at least five Ogres charging out of the jungle.

Clearly!

These Ogres had originally intended to wait for him to enter the Goblin settlement before coming out, but now, seeing that Nolan had not entered but was leaving instead, they could no longer hold back and charged out.

However!

The narrow jungle path was completely unsuitable for multiple large Ogres to charge out at once. A group of Ogres instead squeezed into the narrow path, constantly roaring.

"Tch, too slow."

Nolan held the iron swords in both hands, a cold expression on his face, and turned back to look at the jungle in front of him.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Nolan's twin swords constantly swung at the surrounding bushes, grass, and tree branches, causing widespread destruction.

Broken green leaves and branches flew.

Although he didn't know the exact hiding place of that Goblin, within the range of his sight, he just needed to destroy everything!

At the same time!

Hiding behind a clump of grass next to a large, leafy tree, only about ten meters from Nolan, that Goblin was trembling.

At this moment, the Goblin's entire body color was the same as the surrounding grass and trees, showing no trace of its presence whatsoever.

It would die!

It would definitely die!

The whites of the Goblin's eyes were filled with terror and panic, and its entire body trembled incessantly.
