Fate Online: Shadow

ers would actually flee from a fight especially when a player already engaged them as they entered their aggro range.

’Could it be because we ’re in Hobgoblin territory? ’

Territory…
is an occurrence that Shadow and his friends had discovered when they first arrived here.
Its where a land considered as a territory by a monster or a group of monsters would be considered its entire aggro range.

It ’s like how a pride of lions works where the Alpha male would go around patrolling its territory and killing any threatening intruders.

And that same thing applies to monsters in this map, they would attack the moment they see anyone inside their territory no matter how far away that creature is from them.

This is how the tribe of Grey Orcs from before were able to chase Shadow and the others for long distances and only stopped when Shadow and his friends reached the outskirts of the Snowy Forest.

”You can ’t escape, or my efforts would be in vain! ”

Shadow yelled while he activated his grappling hook and swung himself towards the direction of the fleeing Hobgoblins.

”Graah! Stay right there! ”

Shadow yelled towards the Hobgoblins as he was sprung towards their direction using the rope as a swing!

”Kwraak! Kwraak! (Human, begone!) ”

The Hobgoblin that ’s running behind the other one couldn ’t help but turn his head and yelled in anger and horror when it saw Shadow flying towards their direction.

”Kuhahahat! You ’re mine! ”

Shadow couldn ’t help let out a crazy laugh when he saw how terrified the once arrogant Hobgoblin.

Shua!

Shadow skillfully spun in the air as his broadsword appeared in the middle and he executed a powerful downward slash!

”Die!!! ”

Dang!

But the Hobgoblin, knowing that escape now is almost impossible, quickly stopped in his tracks and turned around as he brought his raggedy sword horizontally above him and blocked the incoming attack!

”Keok! ”

But because of the attack ’s momentous force behind it, this normal attack from Shadow became more powerful as it forced the Hobgoblin to kneel on the ground on one knee with a groan.

[The target performed a block! Resisting 50% of the incoming damage!]

[You have dealt 125 damage to the target!]

Shadow just blurted whatever words he could think of at the moment as he doesn ’t have the luxury to think about it while the monster before him is still alive.

Shadow freed one of his hands and pointed his palm towards the Hobgoblin.

”Fireball! ”

Boom!

The spell was casted almost in a point blank range, and it flew towards the Hobgoblin ’s head in a second, and struck it hard that the monster ’s head whipped backwards as he fell on his back.

[CRITICAL HIT!]

[You have dealt 223 damage to the target!]

[The target is suffering in a stunned state for 3 seconds!]

”Okay! ”

Shadow smiled triumphantly before charging towards the monsters and started bullying it with attacks like its previous predecessor.

”Press Impact! ”

”Seismic Slam! ”

[..]

[You have defeated the Hobgoblin, Bar]

[4101 experience has been acquired.]

The Hobgoblin turned in motes of grey light and disappeared.

”Dammit! ’

Shadow could only feel a little bit happy because the other Hobgoblin didn ’t even turn around to help its friend and just fled, already out of his sight.

So all in all, Shadow at least managed to kill 1 Kobold and 2 Hobgoblins, bringing his experience bar by another two percent.

After that, Shadow quickly beat a hasty escape from the scene, afraid that he might attract monsters more powerful than the Kobolds and Hobgoblins combined.
