The further Jason walked away from the dome, the less dense the mana around him became and Jason assumed that it was because the distance from the mana vein widened.
But that was not important right now, as he had a mission to do.
Jason wanted to finish his assignment and obtain the delicious rewards promised by their teacher.
Activating the video brace to record everything, Jason was ready to kill some awakened beasts, even if it was not really by his own strength.
And that was also why Jason asked his teacher if he really could use everything except instant killing weapons and other things like that.
The Vanguard labeled knowledge as strength, as such one could interpret his tactic as strength without being narrow-minded.
He wasn't sure if the poison he bought was among the forbidden items, but the poison wouldn't kill his prey instantly because they had a certain degree of resistance that would let them suffer for around half a minute if he didn't hit their vital spots or killed them immediately.
After around ten minutes Jason met the first small group of awakened beasts.
There were four low-awakened ranked Goblin soldiers, which was the simplest kind of evolved basic goblins.
Apparently, there seemed to be a small society of goblins in this two-star wild zone which Jason wasn't aware of as he met one of their soldier troops.
Two of them had small stone swords in their small hands, while another one had a spear while the one in the back had a bow in his hand.

Before they could even see him, Jason had already sneaked up until he reached a distance of 70 meters, where he pulled back the bowstring and aimed at the archer.
70 meters was considered a large distance, even for Jason with his current strength, but the goblin soldiers were moving slowly, almost as if they didn't move.
It wouldn´t be impossible for him to estimate the perfect angle with his eyesight telling him how far his target was away.
Loosening the string, Jason also released his mana transaction with the capsule as the arrow soared through the sky with a beautiful curve, before a dull *ploop* sound indicated him hitting one of the goblins.
Shocked shrieks could be heard and the three goblin soldiers looked at their fallen comrade that was seemed to be alive, as it twitched.
An arrow was stuck in its abdomen and the capsule almost immediately dissolved, releasing the lethal venom.
While the Goblin soldiers looked around for the perpetrator, a whir could be heard and the spear-holding goblin soldier slumped down next to the archer, alive but already unable to move a single inch.
Only then, the Goblin soldiers could see their enemy as they began to rush at Jason.
A distance of 70 meters wouldn´t be crossed in one or two seconds at their rank and Jason took out normal arrows, he used to shoot at the Goblin soldiers in front of him.
Goblins were one of the dumbest races that formed societies but to Jason, this Goblin soldier troupe looked even dumber than all kinds of beasts he fought with as they run straight onto him, without caring about their defensive at all.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Their eyes were bloodshot and one arrow after another flew through the sky, piercing into their flesh and organs.
While the first sword-holding soldier fell after being spiked by five arrows in its belly, the other one was only roughly 20 meters apart from Jason, when he noticed his last comrade's death.
Looking left and right, it was confused what happened, before a whir could be heard as the goblin soldier´s vision blurred, when a *plop* resounded through its head.
The last arrow pierced into the goblin soldier's skull, killing it immediately without causing much pain.
Jason only shook his head, as he remembered fairy tales about the maliciousness of goblins and their crudeness.
Dying at the hands of goblins like that would be embarrassing and being raped by them even more so, as Jason couldn´t even consider them as enemies for the weakest humans in his opinion.
However, he could understand people being anxious, facing Goblin commanders, chiefs, Lords, or Kings as they were all said to be above Jason´s combat prowess by a huge margin with high wisdom at that.
After picking up the Goblin soldier corpses, he continued his search before he found another Goblin troupe only an hour later.
But this time, there were six of them while one was slightly larger than the rest.
It had a large insignia tattooed on its head.
`Ohh it's a Mage apprentice?`
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Jason was astonished because it was extremely rare but this made him also slightly suspicious.
`Since when are Goblin mage apprentices involved with goblin soldier troops? Aren´t they way too precious for such simple tasks, like hunting?`
It wasn´t normal to have a mage apprentice at a hunting troupe within a two-star wild zone and Jason wasn't sure why, but something seemed foul.
But before he continued thinking about the strange situation, Jason wanted to finish his hunt and assignment.
A mage apprentice was at least at the mid-awakened rank but it wasn't difficult for Jason to kill it, because the mage apprentice goblin seemed way too confident.
Like the previous group before, this troupe didn't even imagine that it could be assassinated from a poisoned arrow, which however happened.
Everything was over so fast and Jason had used up one poisoned arrow for each goblin soldier, even if it was something of a waste.
If he was only a little bit stronger, Jason would face these Goblins head-on, but the difference of a whole rank was just too much for him to handle, once there was more than one opponent to face at the same time.
Picking up the corpses, Jason noticed that the goblin mage apprentice was still not dead and only paralyzed by the lethal poison. Pulling out the arrow, he used the arrowhead to pierce through its throat, without hesitating for a single moment.
For a race like the goblins, Jason wouldn't be gracious, because this race was said to be one of the most vicious races 300 years ago and abducted many women in order to rape them.
Goblins were even worse than rats from more than 300 years ago because they could bring viruses and infections from everywhere.
They raped and abducted women, to increase their population before they would continue their onslaught and were seen as a living pest.
Millions of humans died on their hands when the mana outbreak occurred and it was horrifying enough to think about it.
Jason however was happy that his assignment was already finished and he sent the recorded video immediately to his teacher while he ran back to the dome.
