After ending the annoyingly loud [Goblin Chef] and losing the element of surprise, I decided to take what could possibly be what remains of the little time I have alive to allocate my two new stat points.
I slammed one into Durability, and before my body could begin to adapt I but a half point in Strength and Agility. Then the pain games commenced something that I couldn't explain. My body rebuilt itself. Like a forge, my body was made a new everything from the ground up. First, my organs became more useful and powerful, stronger than before. Next, my bones and cartilage were rebuilt. I felt them crunch themselves and come back unbelievably strong. My blood burned inside of me like acid as they bumped with greater vitality. Finally, my skin was peeled and reshaped under the will of the energy that permeated my body.
I was stronger, faster, and most importantly, harder to kill. In my opinion was the most valuable thing. Far off I heard an enraged howl echoing throughout the chamber.

[Quest Update]
In Cloak and Dagger, you have delved deep into the goblins' base. You have slain all the goblins in the base except the [Goblin Chief]. He awaits you in his chamber.
...
Well, better not keep the fucker waiting, traversing the depths of the caves making my way back to the crossroads, and there I made my way to the well-lit path. I saw crude cave paintings of human-like figures offering something to a large figure reminiscent of a goblin sitting on a throne. 'cocky Fuck' I thought moving further down. After I gave up on trying to make sense of the various cave goblin art pieces and trust me, I used the word art 'liberally.'
Eventually, I came to a long narrow corridor, wherein I knew a medium-sized chamber-like area lay with this as the only entrance to the area. Slowly, I slunk into the chamber, and a grotesque sight befell my eyes. The bones of various species lay scattered like gold in a dragon's layer. Sat on a primitive throne was a massive goblin; like I'm talking, you get a TV show type of big.
"Ok, I Know you're there, human; you will not slay me like you did my subordinates," it said in a deep, booming, yet nasally voice. Deciding to fuck It walked to the centerline of the chamber with a direct line of the Goblins 'throne'.
"Wow, you're one biggggg Bitch, alright," I said. If I was going to die here, I at least wanted to go insulting the asshole who looked like the endgame Moderator.
"Thank you?" The goblin said sounding confused at my statement.
"It wasn't a compliment," I responded, now equally confused.
"Is being fatter not an attractive quality for humans?" He asked, alright, well, um, it appeared I may have just hit on a very fat Goblin.
"No, no, it's not generally. I think there are a few cultures here that think so, but for the majority, it's not," I responded.
"Ah, that makes more sense. I thought you were hitting on me, and well, it would have been really awkward,," The [Goblin Chief] responded.
"Yeah, I can imagine if the person that killed all my people started hitting on me, I too would have been weirded out," I said; now we both sat there fidgeting for a moment.
"Hey, you want just skip to the part where we kill each other?" He asked me.
"Yeah, that would be appreciated" I responded. We soon burst into action. He moved surprisingly fast as he pulled out a long spear, and I pulled out my Baseball bat in one hand and my [Goblin's Bane] dagger in the other hand.
[Knight's Intuition] flared for a moment signaling a deathblow. Ducking I felt a whoosh of air above me as his spear sailed above me. I lunged in close trying to get in range. He jumped back, and his Spear came down on me. As I was in mid-air, I couldn't move out of the way; I was slammed into the floor.
...
[-100 HP]
...
Oh, that definitely hurt, and I'm definitely going to feel that in the morning. I quickly rolled to the left, dodging as he tried to slam his spear back down on me. I lunged forward, running as fast as I could, weaving as he tried to hit me, my smaller size granting me the mobility needed to get close. Driving my dagger along his side his large 30 feet tall frame shivered as the curse took hold. I smiled in Victory for about 5 seconds as I was punted like a football. I slammed roughly into a rock protrusion.
...
[-50 HP]
Half Health Remaining
...
Ah, that was wonderful; as the giant goblin stalked towards me, I slowly got up using my bat as a crutch. The cut wound I had inflicted on him had begun to fester up angrily.
"fuck" I muttered under my breath.
"Fa-ske," the [Goblin Chief] said looking down at the wound on his side.
"Hey, quick question, what does Fa-ske mean" I asked the Large Goblin.
"Huh? Oh yeah, that means go choke on your own blood," he said.
"Eh, interesting," I said as I Darted toward him at full speed. He chuckled before backing away he tried to bat me away. It was an ever-changing game of cat and mouse with every beat of the battle tempo changing the roles. I managed to slash his Achilles tendon on his left leg. In his rage, he managed to strike me, hurling me across the chamber like a skipping stone on a lake.

...
"That fuckin hurt, dude," I said, struggling to get up as I was all sorts of fucked up, whereas he was less overall fucked up though he was arguably worse off as he now couldn't move with any speed.
"Well fuck you too, bud," The Goblin spit out as the curse began to ravage him. Stretching my body, I spit out some good old blood. It sizzled a lot bit on the floor. Looking at the large goblin on one knee wielding his spear as his single deterrent.
I dashed forward, and like a lightning bolt, I struck him on his weak side, driving my bat into his ribcage. As I heard a sickening crunch, I followed it up with a piercing strike to his side.
Using him as a launching board, I dodged his attack; taking a breath, I saw that even if I died here, this guy wasn't making it. Locking eyes with me, we had a moment, two warriors both fighting for our people and no matter how horrific I found the Goblins, I knew deep down that humans weren't much better.
I moved with blinding speed as I ducked a spear thrust and appeared right in front of the [Goblin Chief], and with a final stroke, I sealed the deal as I tore his pectoralis tendon, severing his use of his right arm.
"Do you surrender?" I asked, and the proud [Goblin Chief] knelt on his head, with a severed Achilles and pectoralis tendon cut and the curse seeping into him throughout his body. He was already dead.
"Yes," he said as his hand let go of his large spear.
"Alright, can you answer a few questions for me?" I asked him.
"Sure, on one condition," He responded; I mused and decided that as long it wasn't something I wouldn't do, for example, sparing his warriors sieging Welton Manor.
"Alright, I'll bite; what's the condition?" I responded.
"That you take care of the Goblin eggs here; after I expire, you will go and kill the rest of my tribe, and I know you won't spare them, and I won't ask you to."
"Now why in the hell would I spare a small hoard of human-eating goblins even kids it's not like you spared ours," I said, now personally I believed that the Sins of the Father shouldn't pass onto the Son, but doesn't mean I'm going to spare a group of creatures that lived off human flesh and fermented blood.
"We don't have to eat humans. You were just the most commonly available meat source; in fact, most goblins detest human meat, and on the point of killing your young ones, I'm sorry, I won't defend it," He said. Well, I appreciated the sentiment. It didn't change the fact that a lot of kids died.
"So let me get this straight: If I let your kids live and I make sure they are cared for and fed, they won't turn on us?" I asked him.
"Yes, I can assure you that as long they are fed, they won't harm humans unless in self-defense, just like any other rational creature," he responded.
"Fine, I accept your condition," I said, and the [Goblin Chief] smiled.
"Thank you, and now what do want to know?" he said.
"Alright, first off why are you guys invading Earth?" I asked.
"Well, when an inhabited world gets integrated they choose factions that are unable to grow and give them a slot to send warriors through to challenge the Natives." He said, gritting through his teeth as the curse grew in jagged lines, turning the flesh it touched sickly and pale.
"Okay, next question, how big is the area that is considered 'integrated'?" I asked him.
"I have little knowledge of that; the area I came from was part of the Goblin Confederation, which spanned Galaxies, and we were considered a small faction," he responded. Rubbing my temples as I tried and failed to understand the scope of that, a star nation several GALAXIES large was considered small.
"Okay, there's been mention of Ranks; how many are there?" I asked him.
"No clue all I know is that supposedly you can ascend to immortality and further such things are beyond me or you," he said, and I watched as the Curse energy reached his heart, and like a light switch the [Goblin Chief] died, his heart stopped and a flood of Notifications filled my vision.
