Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills

Chapter 14: Unanimously Voted Captain



Adam didn't hesitate.

He tightened his grip on his sword and quickly assessed the situation.

The Goblin Chief was too tough for regular attacks...

But now that he had [Acidic Spray], they had a chance.

"Everyone, listen up!"

He commanded, his voice sharp.

"The moment I hit it with my skill, go all out! Attack in sequence!"

"Rei, hit its legs! Nathaniel, aim for its eyes! Elara, go for the joints!"

The team tensed, nodding in understanding.

The Goblin Chief growled, its red eyes burning with hunger. It was already preparing to charge again.

Adam activated [Acidic Spray].

A burst of greenish fluid shot from his hand, hitting the Goblin Chief square in the chest.

The effect was immediate!

Its thick hide began to sizzle, darkening as patches of flesh turned soft and mushy.

The acidic fumes filled the air with a sharp, biting scent.

The Goblin Chief let out a guttural roar, stumbling backward as steam rose from its body.

[Frog Eater: An acid attack?! How do you have blood powers and acid powers at the same time?!]

[TheIsekaiKing has donated 5 coins]

[TheIsekaiKing : What kind of acid is that?]

[TheIsekaiKing : Why is it's corrosion effect so fast...]

Adam ignored the chat the Isekai King's numerous chattering and the Frog Eater's disbelief as his eyes locked on the monster.

The acid had weakened it its skin, making its defenses become soft!

But they had only seconds before the acid would weaken... 

"Now!"

Adam shouted.

Rei lunged first, slashing at the Goblin Chief's weakened legs.

His blade bit deeper than before, cutting through the softened flesh.

The monster howled in pain, staggering.

Nathaniel released an arrow, the projectile piercing one of its bloodshot eyes.

The Goblin Chief jerked its head back, snarling in agony.

Elara moved like a shadow, spinning around the beast and driving her daggers into the exposed joints, twisting the blades for maximum damage.

The Goblin Chief swayed, its massive frame trembling under the relentless assault.

Deep wounds covered its once-impenetrable body, acidic steam still rising from the patches where Adam's skill had melted its thick hide.

"Good!"

Adam called out, eyes sharp as he analyzed the state of the battle.

His team was coordinating in a very good way, he liked it!

This was why government assessments weren't for nothing!

They didn't just throw people together randomly.

They carefully selected teams based on combat compatibility, ensuring that each member could complement the others in battle.

And right now, that system of grouping was paying off...

He didn't need to worry about the combat affinity with his team members!

The Goblin Chief let out a furious, ragged roar.

Despite its injuries, it wasn't dead yet.

Its remaining eye locked onto Adam, pure hatred burning within it.

With a final, desperate effort, the beast raised its massive rusted greatsword and lunged forward.

Adam didn't flinch.

He exhaled, activating [Body Blood Magic].

A deep red glow pulsed around his arm, and in an instant, his blood shifted as it started flowing, twisting, reshaping.

Thin tendrils of crimson stretched from his fingertips, solidifying into razor-sharp spikes.

With a flick of his wrist, they shot forward like spears.

The first spike pierced straight through the Goblin Chief's damaged chest, sinking deep into its flesh.

Another tore through its shoulder, while the third impaled its throat.

The monster staggered, its body convulsing as dark blood gushed from the fresh wounds.

It tried to let out another roar, but only a weak gurgle escaped as its body finally gave out.

With a loud thud, the Goblin Chief collapsed to the ground.

[Goblin Chief has been slain.] 

[Splitting rewards...]

A notification flashed before Adam's eyes.

Unlike the regular goblins they had slain earlier, where each person claimed their own loot, this time the system split the rewards among them, distributing them based on their individual contributions.

[+60 Exp, +0.022 Basic Soul Core.] 

[+1 Gold]

Adam's gaze landed on the gold coin in his inventory.

'One gold…'

It made sense...

In this world, monsters only dropped gold once their Soul Core exceeded 0.01.

No one knew exactly why this happened, but in his previous life, the leading theory was that a Soul Core's value had to reach a certain threshold before it could convert into something tangible.

Once a monster's core exceeded that base limit, it started producing gold.

And at even higher levels, it could drop valuable items.

As the battle ended, the tension in the air finally broke.

Nathaniel, Rei, and Elara practically collapsed to the ground, exhaustion hitting them all at once.

They had been moving nonstop since entering the tower, and now that the adrenaline was wearing off, the fatigue settled in like a heavy weight on their bodies.

Elara groaned, lying flat on the cold stone floor.

"Captain... can we go back?"

Her voice carried a mix of frustration and pleading, and to Adam's surprise, neither Nathaniel nor Rei objected.

Instead, they both nodded in silent agreement.

None of them even questioned the fact that Elara had just called Adam Captain.

It felt natural.

He had been leading them from the start after all...

Giving commands, scouting ahead, setting up their positions when fighting— everything had been so well-organized that it only made sense to put him in the position of the team leader.

Adam didn't respond immediately.

He took a moment to scan their surroundings.

The cave was still dark, the only light coming from the faint glow of the system notifications hovering in the air.

He exhaled, sheathing his weapon.

"We've only been fighting for an hour and twenty minutes."

He finally said sternly.

Elara groaned again, dragging herself upright.

"Come on, Adam, we've been fighting non-stop. Just one short break?"

Nathaniel wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"She's got a point. At our level, mana runs out fast... I feel like I can only cast one more spell on my arrow before I pass out..."

Rei leaned back against a rock, exhaling as he closed his eyes for a brief moment.

"I think we should rest for a bit before continuing..."

Adam crossed his arms, thinking.

They were still inside the goblin-infested cave, but after the battle, there weren't any immediate threats.

It wouldn't hurt to take a short break.

'Hm. I should get used to the fact that my new team are newbies who don't know how to properly conserve their energy...'

'I'll teach them a lesson on this later...'

He gave a small nod.

"Hm. Wait here for ten minutes."

Elara let out a dramatic sigh of relief, flopping onto her back as if she had just collapsed from exhaustion.

"Finally..."

She groaned.

Nathaniel sat down beside her, stretching his arms with a satisfied grunt.

Rei, as always, remained against the rock, silent and unmoving.

Adam, however, didn't sit down.

Instead, he stepped forward, moving deeper into the cave.

His boots crunched over the remains of goblins as he scanned the ground, searching for something specific.

He knew he had seen it earlier...

One of the goblins had been wearing a necklace, a crude ornament made of bone.

Then, he spotted it.

A thin, jagged flute dangled from a severed goblin's neck.

Its surface was rough, old, and marked with tiny carvings.

Adam crouched down, carefully prying it from the corpse before holding it up to the dim light.

The War Goblin Flute.

His grip tightened around the artifact.

'This is exactly what I needed.'

With this, they could probably move on to hunting lesser orcs now...

However, his team was definitely not ready yet.

'We need better equipment first...'

Lesser Orcs weren't like goblins.

They were bigger, stronger, and, more importantly, smarter.

Unlike goblins, who fought in chaotic swarms, orcs had actual tactics.

And their greatest advantage was their sharp sense of smell... stealthily attacking them one by one wouldn't be easy.

If they wanted to fight them efficiently, they needed better equipment.

They would need scent-masking powder to hide their presence, stronger weapons to pierce orc hide, and light armor that wouldn't slow them down but could still take a hit.

Potions were also a necessity... stamina recovery, healing, anything that could keep them standing in a prolonged fight.

Adam exhaled, slipping the flute into his inventory.

He had a plan, and now they just needed to prepare for it.

They needed to return to town.

He turned back to his team and called out,

"Stand up. We're heading back."

For a moment, none of them moved. Then...

"Finally!"

Elara shot up, looking like she had just been given a second life.

Nathaniel silently cheered in his heart as he stood up as well.

Rei simply nodded, pushing himself off the rock.

[Frog Eater : No... seriously, are you guys new to the tower or not?!]
