An Extra’s POV

"Urgh!"

A putrid odor wafted past Rey's nose as he reached the entrance of the Hobgoblin's base.

The clearing was right before him, and he already felt sick to his stomach.

'Goblins aren't particularly known for their hygiene, but this is on another level…' Rey crinkled his nose and narrowed his gaze.

His heightened perception made it difficult for him to ignore the stench, so he just had to endure it.

'Whatever! Let's just get this over with.'

Rey walked right past the entrance and soon found himself in a clearing.

The hallway had been plenty large enough, but compared to the massive auditorium he now stood in, it might have as well been a tightened compartment.

The expanse was large enough to contain thousands upon thousands of adult humans, with tons more room to spare.

And occupying this space were a horde of Hobgoblins waiting for him.

About three hundred of them.

'It's not surprising, considering how massive this place is…'

Rey thought that, but his eyes still widened at the sight of so many monsters in a single location.

Hobgoblins were a cooperative race, but this number was considerably large for a civilization.

'External factors such as disease, predators, and other things ensure that Goblin populations naturally dwindle.'

Adding that to their short lifespan, and they gave a perfect brew of why there weren't too many Goblins in the world.

'These ones don't have predators any longer, so that greatly improves their numbers…'

The question, however, was what happened to the previous apex predators of this Floor?

Rey only had to look around for a brief instant to know the answer.
