Chapter 310 - Battle Against The Beast Goblin King Part 1
The Beast Goblin King's slash to Adam's chest was fast and powerful, but Adam only moved back slightly to reduce the damage that his chest plate took.
He was confident in the capability of his armour and was sure that it could sustain the attack, so wanted to test out the power and speed of the Beast Goblin King's attack while also testing out how strong his armour was.
There were deep claw marks in the armour and it had lost quite a lot of durability, but it hadn't managed to break through just like Adam had expected.
Adam was unsure what material the chest plate that he had purchased from the system was made out of, but it was stronger and tougher than any metal that Adam had come across in reality.
It also enhanced his resistance, speed and strength by a few points, and yet it seemed as though the Beast Goblin King would only need a few slashes to completely rip it to shreds and Adam relying on his equipment was a stupid plan.
Adam used his Hunter's mind to its fullest and knew that a battle against such a wild and powerful opponent, where he would have to reserve and save as much energy and HP as he could, would require him to focus completely and stay calm.
He also wanted to make sure that he had space and that he didn't awaken the other 3 goblin king beasts, as facing all four of them at once would be very difficult and would require him to go all-out.
Once he did so he would be extremely vulnerable and unable to stay conscious let alone fight back, so Adam knew that in his current situation, being careful and smart was his best option.
Adam moved back and made some distance between himself and the wild, yet attentive Beast Goblin King, so that he would have more time to react and deal with the Beast Goblin King's next attack.
He needed to be careful, while avoiding and blocking the beast's attacks until he found its weaknesses and learnt its attack patterns, but Adam found that the longer he fought with the humanoid goblins, the better they would become at combat as they could also learn from him.
Because of that, he needed to finish the battle as quickly as he could and also needed to not reveal his abilities and skills until the perfect moment to strike, as the beast wouldn't fall for the same trick twice, even if it was wild.
Although it wasn't as smart as the other types of goblin beasts and wasn't able to directly communicate like they could, its senses and instincts alone made up for that and also made it arguably even harder to fight.
The Beast Goblin king suddenly burst towards Adam on all fours, not waiting for Adam to attack and not giving him the time or space to prepare an attack or defend its own attacks.
As it did so, the ground beneath its feet and hands began to crack as it used the same attack that it had used previously to attack Adam's chest plate.
Adam, after observing the beast's body and recognising that it was the same as the previous attack that it had used against him, put up his daggers to block the beast's slash with its right hand, while also aiming to counter its attack in the process by slashing its arm.
However, mid-air, the beast that was multiple times larger than Adam, suddenly turned mid-air and switched attacks as it swung its left leg towards Adam's right side that was open, while it retracted the arm that it was attacking with.
Adam was shocked and impressed by its speed, explosive power and flexibility, especially since it was able to switch attacks mid-air and completely turn its large body.
He had no way to dodge the attack as the claws on the feet of the beast dug into the side of Adam's chest plate that also covered most of the sides of his upper body.
If it weren't for his durable and strong armour, the sharp, long and very strong claws on the feet of the beast would have dug deep into his side and dealt him a powerful strike.
However, despite his armour blocking the beast's claws, the impact of the kick alone was enough to kill any of the Goblin Beast's that Adam had come across so far and launched Adam flying through the thick, rock wall of the tower.
Adam in the instant he was attacked, although was too slow to avoid or block the attack, was still preparing himself to deal with it indirectly as he returned his daggers to the inventory so that he didn't lose them.
The instant before the attack was about to strike him, Adam activated both of his fundamental defence techniques to the peak of their mastery and with it, he was able to deal with most of the impact and not lose much HP.
However, that was only possible because the system made it possible for him to instantly activate his skills, techniques and abilities and soon after activating them and being launched through the wall of the tower, Adam deactivated them.
Adam wouldn't die from falling straight down to the ground, but even with his resistance stat being enhanced by the fundamental defensive techniques, he would be damaged quite a lot by it and it would weaken him too much.
It might even be enough to break his legs or whatever limb Adam landed on, which was something that Adam couldn't sustain, especially against such a powerful opponent as he racked his brain for any way to deal with it.
All of that occurred in a matter of instants as Adam while falling to the ground rapidly thought of something that he had never tried before and had always wanted to try, but had no reason to.
[Let's just hope this works, otherwise, I won't have many other options] said Adam to himself as he plummeted towards the ground.
