Chapter 146: Time For Second Round[III]

A thunderous explosion shook the place startling everyone out there.

Grave almost screamed out in terror raising his arms to defend but the shadow that jumped out didn't even manage to scratch him.

The shadow just blurred and vanished as if it never existed.

"Huh!"

His body stiffened and he was startled for a moment.

Then he noticed the source of the sound, and his jaw dropped wide open and his pupil dilated as he gawked at the figure of the mage named Bagail.

The upper body of Bagail exploded into a mess of flesh, blood, and bones, flying up into the sky and then raining everywhere in a messy manner over an obscure figure. The lower half remained on its feet for a brief moment before slowly collapsing on the ground.

If Bagail's face had an expression it would be an expression of fright and astonishment as the monster didn't even know how he died out of nowhere.

A few low-level goblins around holding a mace were frightened, and took several steps back due to the faint shockwave permeating around carrying drops of blood splattering over them.

Beside the corpse stood a human raising his fist who's upper half was dyed in blood.

As he snapped his head at them, the goblin jumped in fear emitting fearful shrieks.

"KHUMM!"

"DEMON!"

"RUNN!"

Creaking an unrecognizable voice, the goblins ran back in fear.

"This was easy," Leon spat, breaking the brief silence that ensued again.

[You have gained 900 KP.]

His first target from the beginning was this hunched back goblin cause he was one of the reasons he died choking on fire and smoke where goblins danced freely.

Leon still couldn't get over the feeling of how he died.It was agonizingly suffocating.

Have you ever felt dying with a pain akin to blackish grains stuffed into your lungs through your mouth and nose until your lungs were torn apart and then hit around like a punching bag?

Yeah, that's what he failed when he died.

And this seemingly ordinary Mage had a very huge role in his death previously.

It was absurd how goblins remained unscathed even if they had strong bodies but there was no way it was on the level of his Draconic body level.

The question ringing in his mind was finally answered when he saw this man with a staff.

Name:Bagail.

Species:Goblin.

Age:9 months(80 yr)

Class:Mage

Realm:Mid Martial Lord

With his abilities, this guy controlled the flames from reaching goblins while all the smoke and heat converged around him.

As for the movements he used to trick everyone.It was something he replicated from Seraphina's way by cloaking herself in darkness and moving around but still, it was imperfect as his intent and slight presence were still easy to discern so he sent a few ghosts to wriggle around for distraction.

Though Leon was curious about these 9 month olds on the screen, he wasn't in a situation to leisurely investigate this.

"Hmm!" Leon turned his head towards the goblin who shrieked in anger like a madman giving him a glare with bloodshot eyes.

"BASTARD!"

Leon smiled faintly as he locked eyes with Germin.

"DIEEEEE!"

With a loud roar,Germin suddenly appearing behind Leon swung his massive mace, a quick and powerful blow that seemed to warp the air around them.

Leon lunged forward, trying to dodge the attack, but his body felt sluggish, unable to keep up with his intentions.

'Damn. My speed slowed a bit due to shadow movements and disparity in vision.'

In his mind, he envisioned dodging the slow-moving mace effortlessly, countering with powerful strikes, but his body didn't coordinate well as it was still adapting to light after he came out from darkness.

The tip of Germin's mace grazed Leon's chest, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Hmph!"

Leon snorted while extending his hand.A huge greatsword appeared out of thin air astonishing Germin.

Leon then swung his enormous greatsword despite the pain on his chest, aiming for Germin's head.

Leon did not even care about his body and just puffed his chest while channeling Qi to activate Draconic body over his chest.Howling, the mace crashed into the chest but Germin eyes widened as he felt a strong numbing force as if he struck a metal but composing himself Germin quickly avoided Leon's sword by holding it.

The huge bulky goblin was holding Leon's right hand and his lips widened with a sneer when Leon whipped his hand like a flash. Leon fiercely slammed his left elbow on his face, making him stagger a bit, and then, freeing his Greatsword, Leon sliced again.

The greatsword sliced through the air with a menacing arc, but Germin effortlessly blocked it with his sturdy mace before closing in on Leon and threw a kick.

Leon, pulling back, evaded quickly.

SWOOSH!

The air was stirred by pressure generated by Germin.

Despite Germin's experience as a warrior, Leon's prowess far surpassed his.

Leon twisted his greatsword to parry Germin's attacks, then with a swift motion, he redirected the attack into the huge bulky goblin.

BANG!

Leon sent Germin's mace flying back who spun his body, to change the direction of momentum to strike Leon greatsword.

CLANG!

The sonorous clash of metal echoed through the battlefield as Leon pressed his advantage, aiming to sever Germin's neck.

"Kugh!"

Germin gritted his teeth, narrowly avoiding the lethal strike by ducking his head.

'I have to retaliate...'

Germin attempted to stab Leon in the chest, but his movements were too slow, easily countered by Leon's greatsword.

Leon observed Germin's exposed upper body, a tempting target.

With a heavy swing, Leon brought his greatsword down towards Germin's head with intention to pop the head akin to watermelon, but at the last moment, Germin managed to block the blade with his mace.

A shockwave rippled through the battlefield as their weapons collided, sending tremors through the ground.

"Ikk!You are a good warrior."Germin snorted and spat at Leon's eye.

"Shut up, Bloody Brute!"Leon replied, tilting his head to dodge the beast's filthy saliva and swung his sword.

CLAAAANG!

Golden sparks and black sparks flew everywhere as metal rubbed against each other generating a great friction.

Leon's silhouette and the Germin turned into two flashes that were impossible to follow by anyone present as a wave of dust arose around them.

The black smoke erupting from flames slowly started blowing away allowing humans to breathe in relief as fighting while using mask was a daunting task.

Meanwhile, the mask worn by Germin and Leon had already blown away and disappeared somewhere.

Germin exert more force into his mace, trying to overpower Leon, but the human warrior stood firm, his muscles bulging with effort.

The clash continued, each strike sending shockwaves through the air, shaking the surrounding landscape.

Despite Germin's brute strength, Leon's speed and skill proved to be a formidable match.

The bulky goblins and human armies watched in awe and disbelief as the two warriors battled, their movements almost surreal in their intensity.

With each clash, the ground trembled, and soldiers on both sides felt the impact of their blows.

"Huh!"

"What's that!"

"Fuck!He is changing."

It was then they saw the two halting and what followed after was a shocking scene of Germin transformation making everyone worried.
