83 Hunt or Being Hunted? - Part 2 (1/2)

”You are not going anywhere, you bastards!”

He managed to catch up with the creature, in the air, his body spiraled along with the sword in his hand.

[Helix Strike]

The sword swept the creature in the air, but the Death Scythe reacted in time despite the surprise. They put their scythe forward to block the spiral sword.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Even though they managed to fend off the sword to cut their bodies, the force was still there. The Death Scythe could not hold their scythes under the assault caused the scythes to fly away from their hands as their bodies slammed onto the wall at the same time.

”Kikkkk!” The monster let out a weird pained cry which delighted Zhao Zhong. He got them.

But then, a shadow appeared behind him with the shiny scythe. The scythe was pulled up, the moment the scythe was about to descend to Zhao Zhong's neck, a spear shot up toward the Death Scythe.

”Kikkkk!”

The Death Scythe released the scythe as it tried to pull the spear out of his chest. However, Bai Yuan did not let that happen as he pinned the creature down with his spear.

Bai Yuan finally got a clear look at the small creature. He furrowed his brows while his spear was shaking non-stop. The Death Scythe tried to break free from the spear.

Bai Yuan did not let that happen as he raised another spear in his left. He aimed the spear right at the creature's forehead.

Crack!

The creature's skull cracked and pierced by the spear as blood spurted out. The Death Scythe instantly died with his head pierced by a spear. Yes, Bai Yuan used two short spears as his weapon, and he was good at it.

Zhao Zhong was aware Bai Yuan saved his life. But his eyes still locked at the knocked down Death Scythe. He landed in front of two knocked down Death Scythe.

”Now you will become Dead Scythe!” He pierced the Death Scythe to the right as he pinned the left Death Scythe with his left foot. He pulled the sword and pierced the one on the left.

Two Death Scythe successfully killed under his sword. Zhao Zhong then turned around, he noticed the remaining Death Scythe tried to run away as half of its body was about to disappear at the dark corner.

”Uwaaa!”

Zhao Zhong then activated another exclusive skill for Berserker, [Berserker's Call]. The Death Scythe who was about to disappear suddenly lunged toward Zhao Zhong, without scythe at that. The small creature uses its sharp and pointy nails to prick his chest.

He easily avoided it by taking a side step to the left. While Death Scythe's body was still in the air, Zhao Zhong slashed down his sword to the neck.

Spurt!

Badump! Badump! Badump!

Zhao Zhong's adrenaline was at its peak as his heartbeat spiking up. It was a close battle in his perspective, if not for Bai Yuan's quick action his head might no longer attach to his body right now.

He approached Bai Yuan and tapped the guy's shoulder, ”Thanks!”

”No problem!” Bai Yuan replied casually as his gaze locked to the creature he just killed, ”What is this thing?” His forehead creased as he tried to identify the dead body next to his feet.

His words caused Zhao Zhong to look at the creature as well. There was disgust on his face as he looked at the creature. But he had no clue about the creature as well.

”It's a goblin!” a voice answered from the side. Zhao Zhong and Bai Yuan looked toward the voice direction at the same time. A young man that looked about in his early twenties, this man was the one who identified the creature.

”What?” Zhao Zhong asked again when he heard the foreign word. Goblin, he never heard that word before, and he did believe goblin was not a living thing unless it was the rarest exotic animal.

The young man's name was Liu Pao. Different from Yan Sheng, he knew goblin from reading the comic only. He did play games but he was more into comics. So Liu Pao explained what Goblin was based on the comic he read, including that the goblin was supposed to be having green skin.

While Cao Jingyi listened to Yan Sheng, Zhao Zhong did not believe that the fantasy creature in the comic would appear here. He waved his hands at Liu Pao, dismissed the nonsense about the goblin.

”Stop with the nonsense, the thing in that comic is just the comic author's imagination! Moreover, this thing is called Death Scythe, not goblin!” Zhao Zhong then continued his search for the survivors by entering the room he just checked now.

Bai Yuan did not say anything, but he did look at Liu Pao. Before he killed the Death Scythe, he used [Basic Detection] on the creature. He found out Death Scythe was a class of this monster while the monster was Dark Goblin. He was surprised Liu Pao guessed it right.
