Slime Leveling [Litrpg, Timeloop]-Chapter 181—Lord must lead

Gabu barked, clenching his jaw, "How could he withstand it...a brat?"

"What do you know about my son?" the Goblin Lord retorted, voice low and sharp. "My son is special."

Gabu felt a chill and glanced back with his Perpetual Vision.

A muscular goblin stood behind him.

"Demonic Fire Fist! Demonic Surge!" the Goblin Lord roared as he slammed his fist forward, which erupted the black flames.

Gabu flared with demonic force. "I won't die!" He leaped up, dodging the Goblin Lord's flame fist.

The axe finally had no hurdle, letting it move forward.

The Goblin Lord caught the axe.

The axe shone with bright demonic force as he swung it upward, and an energy slash shot forward.

"Demonic Sword Slash!" Gabu howled. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

His sword shone with black energy. He swung it down, and the axe energy slash and sword energy slash collided.

Boom!

Gabu's attack vanished under the Goblin Lord's overwhelming slash attack.

The axe slash continued forward at high speed.

Gabu couldn't react in time, letting the energy slash hit him across the middle.

Slash!

His body split in half and fell.

Thud!

Organs spilled out as blood splashed across the dirt.

The Goblin Lord turned back plainly and glanced at the sleeping Gilly.

He stomped his foot down, surging with black energy, smashing the goblin kid's head into paste as blood and brain matter spread on the ground.

"Good." He nodded as his demonic force calmed.

Then he went to Giliberu, picked up his son's body, and entered his son's dwelling.

He carefully placed his son's sleeping body on the bed.

The next day—

"It was a good sleep," Giliberu muttered, stretching his body as he sat straight.

"I overcame it," He grinned widely.

He then glanced around. "It seems someone has brought me here."

He noticed someone had opened the door.

A goblin kid with innocent black eyes peeked in curiously.

"Hey, who are you, kid?" Giliberu asked, glaring at the kid.

The kid blinked innocently. Noticing Giliberu's cold eyes, he ran away.

"Huh." Giliberu stood up and followed.

He then spotted many kids near his dwelling, curiously glaring at him.

Once he met their eyes, they would run away.

Old goblins grinned, noticing the scene.

Giliberu glanced at the sky. The sun was at its peak, and bright golden light stung his eyes.

He spun as he noted a few adult goblins peeking out from their dwellings.

"Is something the matter?" Giliberu asked, frowning.

The goblins, despite being only the height of a 10-year-old human kid, were older, with wrinkles on their faces, and a few had white hair at their temples.

'Only when they reached Tier 3 would they get a 2-meter-tall physique.' Giliberu mused, clicking his tongue.

"They are afraid of you," the Goblin Lord said flatly, walking out of his dwelling.

"Afraid of me? Why?" Giliberu asked, frowning.

"Did you forget the power you released yesterday?" the Goblin Lord replied, holding his son's shoulder.

"I see. So that's how it is," Giliberu nodded. 'After all, I reached Tier 4. Just a burst of aura from my body could smash them into pieces.'

He realized their fear was correct, and if they didn't, he must question their sanity.

"Then why are they peeking out?" he asked. "Afraid but still curious?"

"Because they want to understand you," the Goblin Lord replied, folding his hands behind his back, his lips curving up. "They want you to train their kids."

"Train them?" Giliberu muttered, finding it troublesome.

"You are the next lord, after all," the Goblin Lord said sharply. "You'll have to lead them one day, so it's best to start from now on."

"Okay," Giliberu nodded. 'It might help me in the future,' he thought. This would be his first experience training and leading others.

The goblins who had been peeking heard him and trembled with excitement.

Giliberu exhaled. 'The village moves on.'No one had even asked about Gabu.

The blood and scattered organs still stained the ground, barely cleaned. He already knew the answer.

"What are you waiting for? Come out," the Goblin Lord ordered, waving his palm.

The next day, early in the morning—

Sunrise had just begun with a hint of golden hue in the sky.

Giliberu glanced at the twenty goblin kids or so behind him. The Goblin Lord and Elder Goblin, along with the older goblins, watched.

The Goblin Lord said, "Son, you are powerful enough, and I taught you what I know. Today will be your first day to lead others."

"Young Lord, make sure to bring them back safely," the Elder Goblin said, glancing at the goblin kids with nostalgia.

"Your mission is to teach them how to hunt and bring back at least some food," the Goblin Lord ordered sternly. "Remember, if you fail to do so, they will not get food for a few days."

"Yeah, I got it," Giliberu nodded flatly.

The goblins and the Goblin Lord sent Giliberu and the goblin kids to hunt and bring their own food.

It was meant to be a survival test. They were dependent on themselves, with Giliberu at the center.

Giliberu would hunt, teach them how to hunt, and divide the food so they could live safely.

A new order of goblins.

'Forming a society,' he mused, noticing them all. He'd felt it would be useful to him later.

A few hours later—

"My lord, how many days do we think we can survive on this rabbit?" a goblin asked timidly, hiding behind the other goblin kids.

Giliberu sighed, glancing at the goblin kids standing a few meters away from him. "I won't harm you. Come closer."

They walked forward, swallowing.

Giliberu held his forehead. "This rabbit would be enough for us for 1 day."

He glanced at the dead rabbit. It was 2 meters tall and very muscular.

'At least it's not humanoid form,' he mused, scowling. 'I would have skipped killing it if it were a humanoid rabbit… eating it would be disgusting.'

The rabbit below him was just an enlarged version of an ordinary rabbit, only with a muscular body.

On the other side—

"So, is this the country Zethia?" Goblin Lord asked, pointing to the huge white gates in front of him. They hid beside a large tree, among many trees on the sides of the official road.

"Yes, lord…" Elder Goblin nodded, "And this is where the woman known as the beauty who is born once in a century lives."

"The princess of Zethia…" Goblin Lord muttered, narrowing his eyes.
