44 Demons Blade (1/2)

Seeing a new Goblin Appeared out of nowhere. Toa, who was watching the scene on the sideline, uttered his disbelief.

”Wha—what is wrong with that Goblin?” He said while darting his sight to their party leader.

”I don't know... But one thing is for sure; this Goblin subjugation is much more troublesome than it should be.” Gellis solemnly said whilst activating his defensive skill.

”[Sword Defense.]” Gellis murmured the keyword. Then a glittering silvery light enveloped his whole being; occasionally a sharp aura flickered around him.

”Toa, don't act rashly; there is something weird about these two Goblins.” Glancing at him, Gellis added. ”Be extra more careful.” With that said, Gellis went forward and faced the unknown Goblin in front of him.

”... Ahem, Human, I hereby proclaim that you guys won't leave this place alive.” Hobgoblin said. Then suddenly, a huge suction force was being made at his right palm. ”[Demon's Blade.]” A dark and wicked sword aura was formed; into the thin air.

*????????????????????????~*

A sound of vibration rang to their surroundings. As Hobgoblin slashed the air to test the strength of his summoned weapon. ”Mm, not bad. I guess that person wasn't lying after all,” He said, whereas his murderous yellowish eyes flashed with killing intent.

”Come, human!” Hobgoblin taunted Gellis with his jeering high pitch-voice.

As he watched the scene unfold, Gellis was left in bewilderment when he heard the Goblin started to talk, It wasn't his first time seeing a Goblin spoke. However, it was his first time seeing a low-grade Goblin speak the native language of this world.

”... You, what are you?” Gellis exclaimed his surprise; however, upon seeing the Goblin didn't mind his question as it advanced. Gellis braced himself for the upcoming danger.

”Tsk! So what if you can speak? A Goblin will always be a Goblin!” Gellis shouted, at the same time reminding himself that there's nothing new even if this Goblin in front of him spoke.

”[Aura Slash!]” Scintillating silvery light shrouded his long-saber. Then a tremendous momentum concentrated at the edge of his weapon, releasing a massive silver slash.

*????????????????????ℎ.*

The wind shriek as his sword slashed, severed its way to the Goblin.

Seeing the impending danger, Hobgoblin smirked at this and waited for the Gellis skill to come closer.

”Hehehe, allow me to show you, humans, how feeble you are.” The Goblin said as he swung his Demon's Blade horizontally.

*????????????????????!*

The sword aura shattered into oblivion as its lingering force was blown into the enclosing forest.

”... What? Ho—how?” Gellis uttered in disbelieved. However, upon noticing his opponent's reaction. Hobgoblin didn't let go of the chance to deliver a heavy blow.

Toa who was watching the scene in silence; noticing that the strange Goblin was about to assault their leader who was caught off-guard, he shouted in alarm. ”Gellis! Snap it out!” He said. Still, it was a tad bit too late for his warning.

As the Goblin advanced with the Demon's Blade in hand, he swung the blade with an immense momentum that disrupted the atmosphere. As the wind shriek in a horrid tone.

An enormous three meters length wicked aura slashed Gellis. ”Gaa-aah!”

Gellis shouted in pain. Thanks to his sword defense, his wounds weren't that deep. However, it was still a decisive injury with his body cut from his left shoulder until his waist. Gellis' eyes flashed in rage.

But before he could stabilize his footing, a sudden internal force drilled upon his body.

”AAAH!” Gellis screeched in agony whilst his body fell on one knee.
