Chapter 298: Seira’s Resolve
Hearing the young woman's triumphant roar, the Goblin bosses gnashed their teeth in anger as a slight pang of loneliness assaulted their hearts.
All the goblins—both their subordinates and children, have perished.
Now, only the two of them remained.
If the bosses wished to persist in living outside the adventurer zones, they would need to exert themselves and begin anew, engaging in the task of kidnapping and reproducing on their own.
Well, first, they must slay the male human and capture the female one.
"GHRAAAARRK!!"
After another high-pitched roar of anger, the Goblin Chieftain ignored Shye, opting to attack Seira instead to make sure that no one would be able to help the unfathomably strong human male.
Madly dashing towards Seira with sinister intentions, the chieftain raised its greatsword, ferociously swinging it downwards.
"SEIRA!"
Hearing Shye's worried voice, Seira swiftly turned around, realizing shortly after that she was under attack.
Unfortunately, her skill, [Mana Shift Lv.1] was still on cooldown.
If only she realized its importance earlier, she would've worked damn hard to level the skill up.
Left with no choice, Seira roared back, raising her greatswords horizontally as she braced herself for a strong impact.
*CLANG!*
The chieftain's greatsword clashed against Seira's, producing a grating metallic sound that assaulted one's ears, followed by the sound of someone vomiting blood.
"Puhaahk!"
Scarlet blood forcefully spurted out of Seira's mouth as she struggled to receive the blow—the bones in her body—screaming in pain.
Still, she managed to hold on through sheer grit and willpower, panting hard in exhaustion as she struggled to breathe after just a single attack from the chieftain.
'Now then, how can I take this old goat down?'
Gripping his greatswords tighter, Shye stood his ground with a fierce expression, waiting for the spirit wolves, who were charging at him, to pounce.
He then flapped his wings one last time before they expired to dodge the Spirit Serpent's tail swipe attack, simultaneously charging towards the wolves with unexpected speed.
The wolves pounced from different angles, hence, it was impossible for Shye to take them all down in one hit.
Activating his skill, [Stoic Lv.4], he decisively allowed two wolves to bite him, slaughtering the unlucky one in the middle with a single, violent swing of his greatswords.
As the slain spirit wolf dissolved into blue orbs and scattered to the four winds, Shye kicked the one biting his right arm, and stabbed the other in the neck, once again killing it and reducing his opponents from five to three.
"Ahhk!"
Unfortunately, even for him, five opponents were a handful and it was inevitable for the projectiles to finally hit him.
Hit squarely by three mana blasts and a lightning bolt from the activated lightning field that was following him around, Shye violently spat out blood.
If not for his trusty stoic skill, he for sure would have perished right then and there.
To top everything off, his boosts from the fallen skill set had now timed out and he had to wait for five whole minutes before he could reactivate both.
Luckily, his brain now worked fast.
Remembering the fact that there were only a total of four enemies from a whopping 153, Shye swiftly retreated, swapping his entire warrior equipment set for the mage one.
That's right, there was no need for him to make things difficult for himself!
Holding two elemental staffs, Shye targeted both at the remaining spirit wolf, swiftly taking it out with a barrage of basic spells.
Various elements roared as they violently vanquished the summoned creature, causing it to dissolve into blue particles shortly after.
Now, all the nuisances are gone.
It was only him, the darned serpent, and the ugly, green old goat.
