A Crusade of Catastrophe [2-Skill grinding with goblins]

The champion let out a deep, growling laugh as he bent his spine into a near pouncing position and readied himself for battle. 'These "Achievements" seem to be granted when I perform a significant act. Therefore, I need not just slaughter the goblins, but do it in stile.' His horrid tongue flicked out of his fanged maw as he spoke, "I am going to enjoy this."

At that, the furthest hobgoblin from him simply threw their weapon on the ground and ran. The other hobgoblins turned around to look, some of them shouting after the deserter. This gave the champion a perfect opening to try for the first achievement.

'Let's see, I got the first one from punching, shall we try a different attack? I know!' He leaped into the air, leaving a decent crater from the **** of lifting off the ground. As the goblins spun around frantically, they barely had time to look up before he crashed down upon one of them.

As he had hoped, the strange panel appeared before him once more.

Achievement Unlocked: It's-a Me

Kill a creature with a stomp or by landing on them

Reward: Physical attack +50% for stomps/landings

He laughed to himself, 'This is so fulfilling yet so pitifully easy. Then again, this is only the beginning. It has to get more challenging eventually, right?' He was not yet certain, but testing had no downsides. He returned his thoughts to the hobgoblins surrounding him.

The hobgoblins stood, lacking the motivation or moral to make any form of offensive push towards his towering form. He readjusted his footing so that he was standing on ground less caked in shattered bone and splattered internals.

As he looked across them all, he had a new idea. He straightened his entire back, standing well over double the hobgoblins in height. As their eyes widened in sheer terror, he snapped his mouth open and released a horrific, screeching, ear-splitting roar.

They all snapped their eyes onto each other before immediately running away as fast as they could in every direction. Many of them were shoving each other over in hopes of stalling him with the time it took to kill their former comrades.

As he reveled in the chaos he caused, the great achievement granter appeared again.

Achievement Unlocked: Who send all these babies to fight?

Cause an entire group to run away in battle

Reward: Skill: Aura of Fear (passive) (mental): All creatures within a distance of the user decided by magical attack will be more susceptible to intimidation. Creatures that are normally immune will become possible to intimidate.

He licked around his mouth as he took a deep breath in and out. He was so thankful to his Lord; this truly was the greatest existence he could ever have been granted. As he finished reveling in his conquest, he remembered he did need to continue killing them.

He turned to face the last hobgoblin who hadn't run, the one in the armor that had first spoken. They simply stood shaking, seemingly unable to move out of shear fear. As he walked up to them, they didn't even move their head to keep looking at him.

He leaned down and picked them up with his left arm, not facing any resistance. As he lifted them to eye level, he stared directly into his eyes. "Pray. For none shall save thee now." As he finished, it seemed to at last snap the hobgoblin out of their trance, but it was too late.

He began to apply pressure with his heavy fist, slowly squeezing the tiny weakling. As he saw then struggle and change colors due to trouble breathing, he thought of one more thing to say. "I wonder, will you pop?" That seemed to do perfectly, as the look in the hobgoblin's eyes was nothing short of pure defeat.

As the **** of the champions might hand at last became too much for the little hobgoblin, they crunched with a satisfying give, and a slight whimper. Once he was certain his prey was thoroughly killed, he released his fist and shook it slightly to unstick any organs stuck to his palms.

He was surprised as the great magical square appeared once more, there being two instead of one this time.

Achievement Unlocked: Juiced!

Kill a creature via constriction

Reward: Skill: Iron Grasp (passive) (physical): Makes any creature with a physical attack stat lower than user's unable to escape a grapple by the user. If the creature attempts to teleport or otherwise use magical means to escape, it will fail unless their magical attack stat is higher than the users.

Achievement Unlocked: How Does it Feel to Die?

Kill a creature slowly and personally

Reward: Skill: Brutality (active) (physical): Upon activation, causes the users attempts of intimidation through **** or displays of **** to be exponentially more effective.

He smiled to himself despite lacking lips. These would do perfectly, fine additions to his collection. He looked around, disappointed to find that all of the goblins had now fled. Pursuing them would be a waste of time, as they were not technically his objective in the first place.

He shook his head, 'No matter, I just need to decide which of the two factions I shall eliminate for my Lord.' His tongue licked his fangs, the anticipation of a true battle fueling a newfound desire for blood.
