Chapter 313 - Enraged Beast Goblin King Part 1
The Beast Goblin King was impressed by Adam's ability and surprised by Adam's killing intent and powerful aura, so it no longer regarded him as merely an easy opponent.
One's aura wasn't only a representation of one's power, but was also formed by one's willpower, determination, drive and self-confidence, which were all key qualities for a cultivator as without them, one wouldn't have the right mental state to succeed as a cultivator and surpass their limits.
Adam was too focused on forming his skill and wasn't completely focused on the powerful beast before him that he had to kill, but he wanted to get the battle over with and had become more accustomed to the use of the Burst Movement Skill that he had formulated.
"You might be faster than me, but we will see who will come out on top," said Adam before bursting off his feet using the Burst Movement Skill, but still staying close to the ground.
Adam was using it this time to increase his explosive power and propulsion forwards while dashing towards the Beast Goblin King, which made up for the gap in speed as he charged head-on towards the Beast Goblin King who also charged towards him.
It didn't have many options for different kinds of attacks unlike some other types of the Goblin Beasts, but what it didn't have in combat skill and intellect, it made up for with raw power, speed and resistance.
However with its limited attack variety and reach, Adam knew everything that the beast could throw at him and it was only a matter of avoiding or blocking them before countering with an attack of his own.
The Beast Goblin King ran on all fours and as it neared Adam, he activated the Dual Slash Skill and poured quite a lot of energy into it before aiming for the beast's right arm that it used to attack the most and would also make it so that it would struggle to run on all fours.
With the amount of energy that Adam poured into the attack along with the distance between them being quite small, the Beast Goblin King couldn't avoid it and also didn't have a way to block it, so could only continue charging towards Adam and take the attack head-on.
The two crossed, sharp blades of energy flew through the air and deeply slashed the right arm of the Beast Goblin King, causing a lot of green blood to begin pouring out.
However, the Beast Goblin King didn't slow down despite the deep strike and his arm buckling slightly after suffering the attack as it continued charging towards Adam and pounced onto him.
As it did so, Adam suddenly burst backwards just as the beast was about to slash him, before bursting again a second time, but towards the beast again.
It required him to completely cancel out his forwards momentum and charge, then move backwards, and then after that, cancel out his backwards movement and momentum to charge forwards once again.
Doing so was very difficult, but with Adam's great control, timing and his strong and flexible body, he was able to do so and it allowed him to dodge the Beast Goblin King's slash attack, then counter.
Flexibility is a rare and underrated trait in the world cultivation and for fighters in general, but Adam was coming to realise how important and useful it was for combat.
With his two daggers in hand, Adam aimed them at the two glaring eyes of the Beast Goblin King as he launched himself back towards the beast with a powerful burst of energy beneath his feet that caused vibrations in the air beneath them and launched him flying in the opposite direction.
However, his attack missed and the Beast Goblin King countered Adam's counter with a powerful slash to his side that was able to cut through his armour and slashed Adam's side.
The slash also sent Adam flying to the side as the Beast Goblin King jumped towards Adam to attack him a second time, but Adam had the advantage mid-air and using the Burst Movement Skill that he created, avoided the Beast Goblin King's second slash.
While doing so, Adam decided to risk losing a dagger and despite being mid-air and moving at rapid speeds, threw the dagger in his left hand towards the right eye of the Beast Goblin King.
The Beast Goblin King's neck was muscular and with its tough skin, slashing its neck wouldn't be as easy as it was with the other Goblin Beasts that Adam had faced so far, but Adam had never come across any creature that was able to fortify their eyes.
The dagger was perfectly timed and thrown as it stabbed straight into the eye of the beast, like a hot knife through butter as the beast let out a wild roar in pain.
It was his Hunter's mind that increased his focus and allowed him to be able to pull off such an accurate attack at such a difficult angle and situation, but Adam didn't give the beast a chance to relax as he rushed over to the beast that had landed and moved back.
However, Adam suddenly got a bad feeling while approaching the beast that had just been stabbed in the eye as a aura of rage, destruction and fury that was almost visible was released by the Beast Goblin King.
Adam trusted his instincts and moved back without thinking twice as he continued to move back while watching the Beast Goblin King closely.
Its power seemed to have increased in an instant and it seemed to be transforming into an even more monstrous creature as its claws and teeth became even larger and sharper along with the rest of the beast's body.
The muscles all around its body began to grow and his veins began to bulge all around its body to the point that its skin was at the point of tearing.
The beast that was already very large grew even larger and in the process had become much more powerful, wild and dangerous.
