[HIATUS]I Was Reborn, So I Chose To Become A Reaper.

Chapter 14 : <A Big Haul.>

Aaand I'm back! Did you miss me? Probably not.

Only one person replied to my question in the previous chapter, so I'ma continue the story in the way that he said (aka first person). No complaints, right?

Anyway, here's my returning gift!

Oh yeah, I changed [Secrete] to [Enshroud] for obvious reasons, I'm so dumb for thinking that secretion relates to hiding in some way lmao

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brandishing my [Reaping Scythe] as I summoned it, I used [Menace] on the Goblins, causing them to briefly freeze in fear.

{Reina}
"Now's our chance! Run!"

However, Axis and Axylia didn't move from their spot. Axis held his hand out, shielding Axylia behind him.

{Axylia}
"B-But that's the-"

{Reina}
"Just go!"

Hearing Reina shout, Axis flinched and took Axylia's hand while turning around and dashing away toward the city. Reina took a long sigh, and turned around to meet my eyes.

{Reina}
"...W-Well, I don't need to say this, but... Be safe, okay?"

She turned her head away from me, and I noticed her ears twitch.

{Drakka}
"Yeah, you got it."

Reina's expression softened as she heard my voice again.

{Reina}
"...I'll see you later, alright?"

{Drakka}
"Sure."

Reina looked at me in the eye and smiled, turning around and going after the twins. By then, the Goblins had already built enough courage to approach me.

Hmm... I guess I should leave a few Cores for the twins and us.

I'll save 13 for them, 5 per person. I already have 2 from the small battle we had earlier.

I looked over at the Goblins and counted around 25 of them.

Well, I'm gonna get started.

Using [Teleportation], I appeared in front of the closest Goblin and slammed the bottom end of my [Reaping Scythe] down, making a sizeable dent in its skull.

<20 exp gained.>

... Well, I guess I can't really expect much.

It's not bad, for a Goblin at least.

Ducking under several Goblins using Javelins as melee weapons instead of proper spears, I slid backwards and watched the Goblin fade into light particles, leaving behind its Core.

One Goblin in particular, grit its teeth and screamed at me.

{Goblin.1}
"You kill friend!"

... Oh, I guess that means [Translation] can translate any language.

Not that it matters.

I grabbed my Scythe and swung, ripping through several Goblins and their weapons.

<15 exp gained.>

<14 exp gained.>
