Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills

Chapter 12: First Blood On The Livestream



'The sudden flood of light should have startled the goblins inside...'

Adam knew how they operated.

The goblins on the first floor of the Tower of Yxthar preferred dark, sealed-off caves for breeding and multiplying, only venturing out when hunger forced them to.

The sudden light and noise should've awoken all of them...

Elara, using [Shadow Step], reappeared beside the group, her expression tense.

"There's movement inside..."

She whispered.

Nathaniel, his [Keen Sight] sharpening his vision, took a step back, his voice unsteady.

"T-There's a lot of movement inside... Fuck, there's a shit ton of them!"

His instincts screamed at him to turn around and reseal the entrance before they were overwhelmed.

But just as he opened his mouth to suggest retreating, Adam stepped forward.

His gaze swept over the cave's entrance, calculating.

'It's a small cave… there should be about twenty or thirty goblins at most.'

'It's manageable...'

A thought crossed his mind.

'Ah, this is a good time to start my stream.'

A flick of his hand brought up the system's interface.

[You have activated your livestream.]

For a moment, nothing happened.

Adam wasn't expecting much as he knew it would take awhile for a viewer to enter. 

But then, his screen flickered.

[A viewer from a very distant universe has entered your livestream.]

[TheIsekaiKing has shown curiosity.]

Adam paused, eyes narrowing slightly.

'The Isekai King…?'

The title was strange... but the word isekai seemed familiar.

Then, it clicked.

Isekai meant reincarnation, didn't it?

A king of reincarnation had entered his livestream?!

[TheIsekaiKing: What is this? This seems interesting…]

Adam wanted to respond, but his attention snapped back to the cave.

The goblins inside were growing restless.

If he hesitated too long, they might scatter and become harder to contain.

He had to act now.

"Listen up!"

Adam commanded, his voice cutting through the tension.

His tone left no room for argument as the others instinctively straightened.

"Elara, stay at the entrance. If any goblins try to flee, cut them down."

Elara gave a lazy salute, but her eyes gleamed with focus.

"Got it."

"Nathaniel, find a higher vantage point. Use [Wind Arrow] to keep them from swarming me."

Nathaniel swallowed hard but nodded, already looking for a position to shoot from.

"Rei."

Adam turned to him.

"You're with me on the front lines. Focus on any goblin that tries to flank me. Don't let them surround us."

Rei blinked.

"Wait... are we really charging in!? There's only four of us!"

Adam unsheathed his blade, stepping forward without hesitation.

"I'm going in first."

Nathaniel paled.

"Are you insane?!"

[Frog Eater is excited for your inevitable demise.]

Adam ignored the chat and kept walking.

The light from above cast his shadow deep into the cave's entrance, making it seem as though something much larger than a single man was about to descend upon the goblins.

Inside, the sounds of guttural snarls and shifting bodies echoed.

Adam's grip tightened around his weapon.

Time to hunt...

Without hesitation, he stepped into the cave.

The air was thick with the stench of damp stone and goblin filth.

Beady red eyes flickered in the darkness as the creatures snarled, their twisted bodies shifting uneasily.

The first goblin lunged.

Adam moved faster.

His blade flashed in a clean arc, severing the goblin's head before it could even react.

[Goblin has been slain.] 

[+24 Exp, +0.01 Basic Soul Core.]

Another screeched and rushed him, jagged stone dagger raised high.

Adam sidestepped with ease, twisting his wrist as he drove his blade through its throat.

[Goblin has been slain.] 

[+24 Exp, +0.01 Basic Soul Core.]

A third, a fourth...

his movements were methodical, each strike precise.

It was as though he had done this a thousand times before. Because he had.

Compared to the shadow goblins and the demonic goblins on the upper floors, these guys were nothing to him!

A goblin shrieked from the shadows, hurling a crude spear.

Adam barely glanced at it before lifting his free hand. His veins pulsed.

Dark red spikes shot out from his forearm.

The blood hardened midair, impaling the goblin before it could take another breath.

[Goblin has been slain.] 

[+24 Exp, +0.01 Basic Soul Core.]

'Hm... My Body Blood Magic is still too low-leveled...'

Adam exhaled, feeling the drain in his limbs.

'I still can't control other living beings' bodies yet...'

The most he could do was manipulate his own blood into spikes and projectiles. 

It wasn't enough for him though...

Outside the cave, Elara, Rei, and Nathaniel watched in stunned silence.

At first, they wanted to help.

But the moment Adam moved, the thought vanished.

His fluid, decisive movements left them frozen.

It wasn't just skill... it was experience.

An overwhelming, suffocating presence that made them hesitate.

Elara swallowed hard.

"What... what kind of job did he have outside the tower…? Is he really new like us?!"

[Frog Eater is just as confused as you]

A system notified in her livestream.

[Frog Eater has transferred livestreams]

The Frog Eater abandoned her as it went towards Adam's livestream.

Rei clenched his fists.

He hated standing still... He needed to do something.

Gritting his teeth, he charged in.

A goblin leaped at him, snarling.

Rei twisted his body, throwing a punch with [Stone Fist].

The impact sent the goblin crashing into the dirt.

"I got one!-"

Another goblin appeared behind him, knife raised.

Too fast! 

And too close!

Adam, who saw this, reacted in an instant.

A sharp cracking noise was made as a blood spike shot forward, piercing the goblin's chest before it could reach Rei.

[Goblin has been slain.] 

[+24 Exp, +0.01 Basic Soul Core.]

"Focus."

Adam's voice was calm as he parried a goblin's spear.

"These goblins don't fight alone. They're pack hunters. Always assume there's another one behind you."

Rei exhaled sharply, then nodded.

He wasn't about to argue...

Using Adam's warning, he pivoted, raising his fists just in time to slam them into the skull of the goblin beneath him, finishing it off.

[Goblin has been slain.] 

[+24 Exp, +0.01 Basic Soul Core.]

In Adam's livestream, the chat flickered.

[TheIsekaiKing is impressed by Adam's combat skills and leadership.]

[Frog Eater has entered your livestream]

[Frog Eater : Hey are you really a newbie? Show me your level right now!]

Adam barely paid it any attention.

Another goblin snarled from the shadows.

His blade was already moving.

Rei had stepped in first, but he wasn't alone for long.

Seeing the two, Elara and Nathaniel exchanged a glance before surging forward.

Elara flickered between the shadows, reappearing behind an unsuspecting goblin.

With a swift movement, she plunged her dagger into its neck before vanishing again.

The creature gurgled and collapsed.

[Goblin has been slain.] 

[+24 Exp, +0.01 Basic Soul Core.]

Nathaniel, standing at a distance, pulled back his bowstring.

His [Wind Arrow] charged up with power as he loosed the shot, the projectile slicing through the air before embedding itself into a goblin's skull.

[Goblin has been slain.] 

[+24 Exp, +0.01 Basic Soul Core.]

The battle was ending.

The goblins, sensing their numbers dwindling, shrieked and scrambled to escape.

But Adam was already there.

With a final slash, his blade cut down the last goblin.

The cavern fell into silence, the only sound remaining was their heavy breathing.

[Goblin has been slain.] 

[+24 Exp, +0.01 Basic Soul Core.]

A soft chime echoed in Adam's mind.

[You have leveled up!] 

[Level 1 → 2]

Adam exhaled, lowering his blade as he took in the battlefield.

The stone floor was slick with dark blood, goblin corpses littered the ground.

He glanced toward his team.

Rei wiped the back of his hand across his forehead.

"Damn... we actually did that..."

He muttered.

Elara crossed her arms.

"Adam, were you a serial killer before becoming a Stream Hunter?"

Nathaniel adjusted his bow as he criticized Elara's intelligence. 

"I don't think serial killers are frontal fighters..."

Before Adam could respond, more notifications appeared.

[TheIsekaiKing: That was really cool! Was that blood that you were controlling?]

[TheIsekaiKing: Does that mean you can control other people's blood as well? Honestly, that kind of power has a lot of potential…] 

[TheIsekaiKing: Can you give people heart attacks by stopping their blood flow?]

[The Isekai King : Can you also...]

Adam paused.

For a king of reincarnation, he was… oddly curious. And talkative.

Another notification came up.

[TheIsekaiKing: Ah? What's this button?]

[TheIsekaiKing has donated 15 Coins.]
