Chapter 6 - A strange encounter

After testing his newly gained strength, shin resumed walking .

after walking for some time , shin spotted a humanoid , creature , it was red in colour , it had pointy ears , it was like a goblin but red in colour, it had a bone like dagger in its hand he was eating a dead centipede, he must have killed it , there were slashes in that centipede's outer shell , they must have been done by that bone dagger.

Using busrts steps , shin quickly approached, red goblin that was busy eating centipede , without giving it any chance shin kicked it like a football, and goblin was sent flying severaleters away, and due to being kicked goblin lost his grip on bone dagger ,and it fell on ground.

Shin picked up the fallen dagger , and swing it few times in air to get a good feel.

Goblin stood up and now it cow coming towards shin, shin's eye wer following its movement , shin channeled energy in his hands , and at the right moment striked the goblin's arm with dagger , due to dagger not being sharp enough it was not able to full cut goblin's arm , it got stuck in the middle.

When shin slached his arm , goblin attacked shin with claws of his other arm , leaving scratches on shin's chest .

Shin grabbed goblin with his neck , and removed his dagger form it's arm , when shin lifted it , it dug it's nail in shin's arm to free himself.

In anger shin tharsed it many times on ground , untill it's grip on his arms was lost , this time he lifted goblin up in air and threw it away.

This time shin tried something new , he tried to channel his strength outside his body, he tried to channel his energy into bone dagger, he was was focused in his experimentation that he did notice ,there was an fireball forming in goblin's hand .

Goblin launched fireball at shin , just when it was about to hit him shin reflexively slashed at incoming fireball , and due to his slac most of the fire was reppeled, only some amount of fire brushed past his skin , burning him a little , shin focused on goblin , only to see there was new fireball ready in his palm , goblin launched fireball at shin , it was small in size so shin was able to dodge easily , just as he dodged this one he sensed new fireball coming at him.

Goblin continuously shot fireball at him one after another , sometimes shin doged when he was not able to doge he slashed at fireball, after nearly launching more than 20 fireballs , goblin was exhausted.

There were many burning marks on shin's body ,and in some places his flesh could be seen , his injuries were slowly getting healed.

After slashing these fireballs with energy infused dagger, shin's control in his energy got better .

Goblin was charging towards him , his clas were burning , it was coming to attack shin , shi also used burst step and ran towards goblin, he channeled his energy in dagger .

Both of them were running towards each other , just as they were about to reach ,shin increased amount of energy on his feets, and in instant crossed goblin.

When shin turned around , goblin's headless body was standing , and a severed head fell on ground.

When they were about to cross , shin quickly swing his dagger at goblin's head , it happend very quickly that goblin was not able to react , all of this happend in an instant.

Shin walked towards corpse of goblin , that fearsome creature , which just a moment ago was raining fireball at him was now lying in his feet.

" Even for me it will be difficult to eat this thing , but more than morals what I need is strength , so I have to eat this thing ."

Shin took a bite from goblin's hand , and after taking one bite he started puking " eeewwwhh, it will be difficult to eat this".

Well it was not tasting awful , it was eatable , but it was difficult for him to eat a humanoid creature that had two , legs two arms just like him.

When shin was finished eating it's body , there was only it's detached heat and heart left , " after eating that boar , i understand that eating the heart is very beneficial" .

Shin took goblin's heart , and opened his mouth , and ate it's heart .

After eating goblin his strength increased slightly , and his body was feeling a lot relaxed , and amount of mana in his body also increased , it was getting more dense.

Now there was only goblin's head left , but shin could not bring himself to eat it's head " I am not ready to eat a head yet , and I don't want to in future " after saying this to himself shin started walking.

" the mana inside my body , and energy which I use to burst step are different, after using that energy my body is exhausted, but my mana is left untouched, I still don't know how to use my mana" shin wondered as he was walking

Some time later , shin was standing at top of a small hill , below him a humanoid creature was struggling against a boar , it was only slightly smaller than him , in its head there were two small , it was looking like a smart creature , because he was wearing some clothes, and ahead of them was a forest .

The trees of this forest tall , their wood black and leaves were bright red " why the hell is everything red here". Thinking this shin jumped from hill , grabbing dagger tightly to save that creature.

After descending the hill shin used burst step to gain speed .

When he got near them his speed was very fast so , he tackled the boar that was about to jump at that strange creature.

When shin's body crashed in boar , *boom*

Boar was thrown several meters away .

Ignoring the boar shin got near that horned creature. When shin saw him he could see that creature was injured , and its legs were shaking , it was also looking at him it's eyes were clearly shocked.

Shin took the initiative and asked " hey can you talk ".

It answered in a shaky voice " y..yes , i can"
