As for the first hobgoblins group, they continue their charges until they were stop by a dse line of tree. They growled before turning, their eyes fell on the advturers. The advturers did the same thing, quickly spotting something is wrong with them.
"This should be why they all so aggressive. A bunch of mutated ones, and not a good one at that," mutated monsters is a phomon of a monster possessing either physique or traits or both that normally did not occur in their species. While there are some monsters that get a good trait, like a goblin that manage to gain invisibility, most of it is bad trait.
While scholar call it failed mutation, advturers referred to it as Mana Zone miscariage. As monsters are created from excessive mana from a Mana Zone, if there are badly mutated monsters, it can always be blamed on the Mana Zone itself, as there should not be ough mana to form a complete monster or there seem to be some issue during the creation process itself.
It did make things easier for the C-rankers, as they did not need to worry to much considering they badly outnumbered the monsters. However, no one could tell if there is any other monsters in the area and so, while keep watch, the rest kill the hobgoblins as quickly as possible.
With 8 advturers against 4 hobgoblins, it did not take long before the hobgoblins to lose their limbs, the 8 advturers working as quickly as possible but at the same time trying to be careful as a single swipe could led to serious injury, if not death.
Soon, the 4 hobgoblins turned to 3, to , to zero, and just in time as the 6 hobgoblins barged in, banging their clubs with excitemt, only to see 4 of their brethr being killed.
Roaring loudly, they charged at the 8 advturers, ignoring the other as they seem ke on getting vgeance. A big mistake.
The advturers who keep watch are a mage and a ranger. And so, the mage unleash a powerful spell on the last hobgoblins while the ranger targeted the one nearest to him.
The spell and arrows make short work on the two hobgoblins, leaving 4 remaining. Realizing this, the hobgoblins used their clubs as shield, blocking some of the arrows while the mage recover from her spell usage, as it is a powerful one and the only spells in her arsal that could one-shot hobgoblins.
However with the number turned to 4 again, the remaining advtures charge at the hobgoblins. The fighters quickly severed the limbs of the front most hobgoblins, causing it to scream as the club was dropped.
Th, two spear wielder thrust their spears into the hobgoblins, killing the two quickly. After the death of the two, the remaining hobgoblins seemed to realize they are outmatched and began to hightail it out of there. Another mistake.
With their back exposed, a few backstabs ded the monsters, showing how outmatched they are against a group of expericed C-rankers.

"How did the Violet Maid lose to these weaklings again?" one of the advturers, the ranger asked.
"It make sse. If they suddly find themselves sured, how could they do anything against them. They will be quickly overwhelmed, especially if the monsters goes for the kill immediately," the mage defded the all-woman group.
"Looks like the mission is done, but we need to remain vigilant, who knew what will happ in the future," the oldest looking advturers said. The other advturers nodded, showing their respect to him as well as listing to the expericed man.
As they began to her out of the forest, they did not realize someone being close to them, hiding inside a large hollow tree, listing to their conversation.

"So, the all-wom group name is Violet Maid. Well, they will not be maid any longer," he snickered to himself.
"But still, to think the hobgoblins did not manage to do anything. Th again, it is divide and conquer, though it mostly because of the dumbness of the clones. They prove themselves they are not suitable for anything but cannon fodder.
Hhmm, now that I have 5 hobgoblins, I should try to get all the samples I can get my hand on. With the Storage Magic Circle, I can make sure the sample did not degrade. With this, I can create a many cloned hobgoblins as possible with my leisure,"
As he stretches himself, he also thought of the differce in strgth.
"They are C-rankers, as only C and above can hunt hobgoblins. Based in their strgth, every C-rank advturer is as strong, or estimated to be, as Alina. So, one v one, I can beat her. But if there are many of them, I will likely die," he mused.
"However, if that is the case, and I can only make hobgoblins, how can I gain any SP at this point. Slimes and weaker monsters can do so much after all," he grumbled.
"Oh well," he shrugged, "I should not just use the Growth Tube on hobgoblins. After all, there are better specim to be clone," he smirked as he head towards the Growth Tube area. Inside all of them, are humanoid beings, all looked the same. They also possessed both wings and tail.
However, if one play close atttion, the clones all have the same feature as the man who cloned them, with similar eyes, similar hair, and ev similar body proportion, all of them are the same.
