A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

Chapter 62 - Round Two!!!!

"He is enjoying it..." Alex mumbled as she looked at Ezekiel laughing like a weird guy. While smashing the goblins with his staff left and right. 

She can't let him have all the fun. Alex clenched her weapon as she ran forward. The hobgoblins clashed their swords with hers once more. 

The enemy's formation is now a mess, with her and Ezekiel deep through their formation. As she stood in the middle of her enemy. She can feel the wildly beating heart of her enemies. 

"Your breath stinks!!" Alex exclaimed as she stabbed her sword on a hobgoblin's head that was sticking close to her face. 

They didn't stop charging at her like a wild beast. As they trampled on their dead allies to attack her. Every time she clashes with a hobgoblin. She always hear their growling that is very annoying in her ears as they get closer to her face. 

"It's is just one woman!!! Why can't you all kill her!? Elite hobgoblins attack her!!" 

As she got deeper and deeper towards the enemy's backline. She can hear the agitated shouts of the goblin shaman to his soldiers. Alas she couldn't understand what he was shouting at the hobgoblins. All she could perceive was grunts from the goblin shaman's goblin language. 

She thought there should be an auto-translate function on this game. Since there was one when she played Guardian. She could talk with monsters that have intelligence in Guardian. 

But, she only experienced the auto-translate function when talking with other players here. That was why players managed to communicate to each other. Despite having different languages in the real world. If there's no auto-transalte function then Akkar won't be able to command the army. 

"Fire, fire, fire!!! Don't stop and keep firing!!" A volley of arrows rained upon Alex and Ezekiel. However, it was only consumed by the hobgoblins beside them. 

"Heal!" A few arrows that managed to hit Ezekiel and Alex were quickly healed by him. 

[+2.4 HP] His healing has now increased from the initial 10 hp in 5 seconds to 12 HP. It is because every 1 increase in his intellect stats also increases Rejuvenation's heal by 1 hp. 

The blades and axes of the hobgoblins crept besieged towards Ezekiel through the gaps caused by the berserk goblins dying. He can tell the difference between the normal goblins against the hobgoblins. Because he needs to pummel them down a couple of times before they die in his hands. 

However, when he saw how Alex slaughtered the hobgoblins like normal goblins. She showed her the difference between the huge gap he needs to catch up to her. 

"Alex, watch out!!" During the same time that Ezekiel blocked a hobgoblin's spear coming at him. A group of larger size hobgoblins entered his eyes, storming at Alex at great speed.

When Ezekiel's shout echoed through her ears. Alex also heard a loud rumbling close to her. The sound was completely different from the hobgoblin's growling. 

When she looked towards where the sound was coming from. She saw a group of red-skinned goblins twice the size of a human. 

These red-skinned were different from the regular hobgoblins. They looked like they were the elite of the goblin army. The red-skinned hobgoblins formed a circle surrounding her. The hobgoblins separated her and Ezekiel. 

Anticipation filled her. She felt that her enemies were in a completely different realm. Compared to the berserk goblins and regular hobgoblins. 

There was no place to escape as they isolated her. They made a rather large size ring for her. A stage where Alex will survive if she kills and die if she doesn't.

Alex's body accelerated first before they could even make a move. She moved so fast that the hobgoblin didn't realize that a sword was already aiming at his neck. 

CLANG!!

However, her sword was stopped by a red-skinned hobgoblin beside her target. The hobgoblin managed to endure the pressure she was emitting on her sword. It managed to counter and exchanged several blows with Alex. 

The other hobgoblins reacted only after several blows had been exchanged between them. Since Alex wasn't able to kill the hobgoblin. The other hobgoblins attacks flooded her from all sides.

She couldn't avoid all of them. At that moment, Alex panicked and twisted her body to dodge their attacks. However, she couldn't escape all of their barrages. 

She was cut, pierced, and hit on all sides they did not let her escape their grasp. Her life was now hanging on a hair's breadth. 

But she survived. Alex threw one of her swords towards one of the hobgoblin's eyes. 

"EMERGE!!" Alex hastily brought out a red flask in her hand and immediately gulped it. 

[+100 HP] Her health restored by a small amount. But it was not enough. 

While blocking and dodging the enemy's barrage, Alex brought out another healing potion. "EMERGE!!" 

[+100 HP] 

[210/300] With the healing potion, her health has now stabilized.

"Round two!!" Alex took a very deep breath and held it in her body. Pushing her breathing technique to its limits enhancing her speed and reflexes. Then on the corner of her eyes, a spear is heading towards her eyes. 

It was supposed to pierce her, but Alex deflected the spear and punctured a hole in its ally's chest instead.

Alex rapidly struck the hobgoblin that lost its concentration when his weapon killed its ally. The hobgoblin's head rolled to the ground as he couldn't respond to her barrage. 

Alex kicked the hobgoblin's body and pulled the spear out from the other hobgoblin. The space of the dead hobgoblin was immediately filled up by other hobgoblins. 

Alex tightened the grip on the spear and spun it around. It was easily dodged by the enemy. However, it was enough space to give her a little breather. 

The hobgoblins retreated, spreading out as they watched her intensely. The absurd difference in numbers, against the limits of an individual started to be unveiled. Alex licked her lips and clenched her weapon tighter.. Her mind and spirit cleared up as her body accelerated. "COME!!"
