The Author's POV

"Huff...Huff...Huff"

Kneeling on one leg, whilst supporting myself with my sword, which was stabbed on the ground, I gasped for breath.

-Click!

-Kueeeekk!

Before I could even have enough time to catch my breath, a goblin tried to sneak up from behind me, but fortunately, I was still alert and dealt with it in one swift movement.

'And here I was telling myself to keep my arrogance in check.."

Holding the left side of my stomach, I felt my whole body become dizzy. I overexerted myself.

Looking at my surroundings, the area around me was littered with corpses.

My previously clean clothes were now drenched in green blood.

For the past hour, I had been fighting against more than 20 goblins.

At first, I thought that dealing with 20 goblins wouldn't really pose a problem with my current abilities, but I had severely overestimated my capabilities and underestimated the goblin's abilities.

Just because goblins were supposed to be weak, didn't mean they were actually weak.

Yeah sure, maybe in a 1-on-1 they were easy, but not when more than 20 of them were coming at me at the same time.

It also had to be noted that my rank was still G+.

I was inside of an F ranked dungeon, meaning that every monster I was fighting had higher stats than me!

If it weren't for the fact that I practiced the [keiki style], I would've never been able to make it this far.

Although stats were important, they weren't everything.

It had to be said, stats were only a mild representation of one's ability.

If someone with high stats were to fight a highly skilled warrior that had lower stats, but far better battle awareness, then the highly skilled warrior could still win.

It was like in games when fighting a boss.

The boss always had better stats than the main character, but he/she could nevertheless still beat the boss.

As long as you adopt the right strategy, you could win regardless of your stats. Well...given that the disparity in stats was not that different. If the stats of the boss was a lot higher than your game character, then you might as well kiss your game goodbye.

On the off-chance that the boss was stronger, but the difference in stats between boss and character wasn't that big, then you could do several things to beat it.

Like for example, if you hit a monster on their weak spot.

By hitting their weak spot, the monsters will sustain far more damage as compared to a regular strike.

In goblin's cases, their weak spot was was located right on their forehead, just in between their brows.

Because my sword's art was extremely fast, I was able to swiftly deal with the goblins with one quick stab.

It may sound easy, but it really wasn't.

I had to fully concentrate each time, as a slight miss could cause me to lose my rhythm.

Moreover, because there were so many of them coming at me at the same time, I had to kite them for one hour before I could finally kill them all.

It was only after that I dealt with all the goblins, that I felt pathetic for telling myself how I shouldn't become arrogant and always humble myself in the face of danger.

Had there been one or two more goblins, I really might've died.

Mhhh...maybe not died, but I would've at least gotten severely injured.
