An Extra’s POV

"Huu…"

Rey could sense a bunch more Hobgoblins hiding close to the entrance of the clearing, waiting for him in ambush.

They expertly used the darkness to cloak themselves, and from what Rey could tell, these Hobs were very crafty.

'Something tells me they weren't always the apex predator here.'

It was very possible that they had managed to become the top of the food chain by conquering the Dungeon themselves.

That would make a lot of sense, considering how adept they were.

'Some are hiding on the ceiling, waiting to get to a drop on me, while others are underground.'

They were all prepared for him.

'It's too bad, though…' Rey sighed as his eyes began to glow red once again.

'… They aren't prepared enough.'

~FSHUUUU!~

Beams of light traveled to the ceiling, instantly killing the Hobgoblins that were stationed there.

As the burning light seared through their flesh, they were decapitated by Rey's accurate aiming.

He drew lines on their bodies using his heat vision, especially on their necks, so that their heads began rolling down long before the Hobs even realized it.

~THUD!~

Heads began to fall from the ceilings, and not long after, their bodies followed.

'You guys think you're smart. Sending those two to serve as decoys in order to test my strength and also grant me the illusion that I have bested your guards… in the case that they failed to eliminate me…'

Perhaps that would work on anyone who hadn't read ahead, or who wasn't strong enough to overcome their strategy.

But their plans didn't work on him because he had both qualities.

He was too strong for them to properly poke at the depths of his power, and he was already well versed in Hobgoblin tactics.
