My Overpowered Bunny Girls

Chapter 10: 10. The hobgoblin Hunt

The forest gradually fell silent after the fleeing archer disappeared into the distance.

Only the low growls of the green goblins remained.

Nathan stayed crouched within the bushes while carefully observing the monsters ahead through the cover of leaves and branches.

Three Green Goblins and One Hobgoblin.

Under normal circumstances, an F-Rank summoner challenging that lineup alone would practically be suicide.

Especially the Hobgoblin.

That thing clearly existed on an entirely different level compared to the ordinary green goblins.

Nathan slowly activated [Sharp Eyes], Mana gathered around his pupils and Immediately, the world sharpened.

The Hobgoblin’s breathing patterns became clearer, the tightening of its muscles before movement, the slight stiffness in its right shoulder whenever it gripped the club too tightly.

Even the Green Goblins’ attack habits became easier to predict beneath Nathan’s enhanced perception.

Nathan slowly drew an arrow from his quiver.

Then a grin spread across his face.

"...Let’s do this."

Mirko’s ears immediately perked upward excitedly.

’Operation: Ugly Creature Extermination?’

Nathan almost snorted. ’Sure. Let’s call it that.’

The first attack came instantly.

WHOOSH!, Nathan released the arrow.

The mana-infused projectile shot cleanly through the air before piercing directly through the skull of one of the unsuspecting Green Goblins.

SPLURT!, the goblin collapsed instantly.

[Ding! 10 Points Acquired!]

The remaining goblins screeched furiously.

The Hobgoblin roared and immediately charged toward Nathan’s hiding position with terrifying speed despite its large body.

BOOOOOOM!!, Its massive club smashed directly through the bush Nathan had been hiding behind, obliterating trees and scattering dirt violently across the area.

But Nathan had already moved. "Mirko!"

’On it, Master!’ Mirko shot forward in a green blur.

[Quick Reflex] activated instantly.

The tiny bunny bounced rapidly between roots, rocks, and broken branches before leaping directly toward the Hobgoblin’s face.

The creature swung instinctively but it was too slow.

Mirko twisted herself midair before lightly bouncing off the side of the club using [Soft Landing].

Then, BAM!. [Headbutt] activated.

Her glowing forehead slammed directly into the Hobgoblin’s temple.

The damage itself wasn’t major, but the sudden impact forced the monster to stagger slightly.

And for Nathan, that tiny opening was enough.

"Left side exposed..." Nathan immediately drew another arrow.

[Piercing Shot] activated, mana surged violently into the projectile.

WHOOSH!, the arrow tore through the air before piercing directly into another Green Goblin’s eye socket.

The creature collapsed instantly.

[Ding! XP Gained!]

[Ding! 10 Points Acquired!]

The final Green Goblin screeched angrily before charging directly toward Nathan with rusted claws raised.

Meanwhile, the enraged Hobgoblin attempted to grab Mirko while roaring furiously. ’Master! It smells ugly AND angry!’

Nathan almost laughed despite the situation. "Keep distracting it!"

The final goblin lunged.

Nathan’s eyes sharpened further beneath [Sharp Eyes]. To him, the goblin’s movements looked painfully obvious now.

Too much shoulder movement before striking, poor balance, slow balance recovery after lunges.

Nathan smoothly sidestepped the attack before drawing another arrow at nearly point-blank range.

The goblin’s eyes widened.

"Goodnight."

[Piercing Shot] activated once again.

BOOM!

The mana-infused arrow blasted directly through the creature’s mouth and out the back of its skull.

The goblin collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.

[Ding! 10 Points Acquired!]

[Ding! Level Up!]

[Ding! Piercing Shot Lv.8 has leveled up to Lv.9!]

Fresh mana immediately surged throughout Nathan’s exhausted body.

His breathing stabilized, his muscles relaxed slightly. Level 6.

At the same moment, Mirko bounced backward through the air while barely avoiding another devastating swing from the Hobgoblin.

CRAAAAASH!!

The gigantic club obliterated an entire tree trunk behind her.

Wood exploded everywhere.

Nathan’s expression slowly became serious.

Now... Only the Hobgoblin remained.

The monster glared at them both murderously while beating its chest loudly with one hand.

Its body was covered in bruises and small injuries from Mirko’s repeated harassment attacks, but nothing substantial enough to slow it down meaningfully.

Its defense was absurdly tough.

Nathan slowly drew another arrow. "...This thing’s annoying."

Mirko landed beside him proudly. ’Very rude creature too.’

The Hobgoblin suddenly charged again.

The ground shook beneath its footsteps.

Nathan immediately jumped backward while firing another arrow toward its chest.

WHOOSH!, the projectile struck the creature and bounced off.

Nathan’s eyes widened slightly. "Tch."

The Hobgoblin grinned viciously before swinging downward. fгeewebnovёl.com

BOOOOOOM!!

Nathan barely rolled aside in time as the club smashed into the ground hard enough to create a crater.

Dust exploded violently outward.

"Mirko! Eyes!"

’Roger!’

Mirko immediately shot forward once again.

Using [Quick Reflex], she zigzagged unpredictably around the Hobgoblin while repeatedly bouncing off nearby rocks and tree trunks.

The Hobgoblin roared furiously while wildly swinging its club in every direction trying to catch her.

Every miss devastated more of the surrounding forest.

Trees shattered.

Branches exploded.

The ground cracked repeatedly beneath the creature’s strength.

Meanwhile, Nathan’s eyes moved rapidly.

Analyzing. Calculating. Searching. Then he found it.

Whenever the Hobgoblin fully committed to a swing, the muscles around its neck tightened awkwardly for a split second.

And during that moment its right eye became exposed. Only briefly, but enough.

Nathan inhaled slowly.

"Mirko," he said calmly.

’I know.’

The bunny suddenly launched herself directly toward the Hobgoblin’s face.

The creature roared and swung upward violently.

Mirko intentionally allowed the club to barely graze beneath her feet before twisting herself midair using [Soft Landing].

Then, BAM!. [Headbutt] activated.

Her glowing forehead slammed directly into the Hobgoblin’s nose.

CRACK!

The monster staggered backward roaring furiously.

And within that exact opening, Nathan fired.

[Piercing Shot] activated.

The mana-infused arrow tore violently through the air before piercing directly into the Hobgoblin’s exposed right eye.

SCHKKK!!, The creature froze. Then roared in agony. The arrow had penetrated deep into its skull.

The Hobgoblin stumbled backward violently before collapsing onto one knee.

Nathan breathed heavily while lowering his bow slightly. "...We did it?"

The massive creature stopped moving.

Silence filled the forest as nathan slowly relaxed his posture. But that was a Bad idea to let his guard down.

The Hobgoblin’s remaining eye suddenly snapped open.

"AH SHIT!"

The creature exploded forward with terrifying speed despite its injuries.

Nathan’s eyes widened.

The Hobgoblin raised its club while charging directly toward him like a berserk beast making one final suicidal attack.

Everything happened too quickly.

Nathan couldn’t dodge in time. freёwebnovel.com

Then, a green blur shot past him.

’MASTER!!’

Mirko launched herself forward with every ounce of strength she had.

[Headbutt] activated.

But instead of striking the Hobgoblin directly, she slammed her glowing forehead against the arrow still lodged inside the creature’s eye socket.

CRUNCH!!

The arrow drove deeper, straight into the Hobgoblin’s brain. The monster’s charge instantly halted.

For one final moment, the Hobgoblin stood completely still.

Then, BOOOOOOOOOOM!!

Its fat green body collapsed directly before Nathan’s feet. The impact shook the surrounding violently.

Silence followed, Then...

[Ding! 50 Points Acquired!]

[Ding! XP Gained!]

[Ding! leveled up!]

[Ding! Mirko has leveled up!]

Nathan collapsed backward onto the ground breathing heavily as Mirko proudly bounced onto his chest.

’Master!’ Her tiny nose twitched triumphantly. ’Did you witness my magnificence?!’

Nathan laughed weakly while staring upward through the jungle canopy.

"...Yeah." He exhaled slowly. "I can’t believe that We actually pulled that off..."

Then suddenly,

DING!

Nathan blinked.

Another notification appeared before him.

[Ding! Skill Level Conditions Met!]

[Ding! Piercing Shot Lv.9 has leveled up to Lv.10!]

Nathan’s eyes widened slightly.

Then,

[Ding! Conditions fulfilled.]
