The goblin shaathering around its staff The two goblin guards rushed towards Merlin, keeping their spears extended out towards hi left as he entered the rooet some distance from at least one of the spears He held his shi+eld out in front of hi ready to parry one of the spears
The leftoblin thrust its spear towards Merlin's sto it to thrust past hioblin's neck in one oblin, the spear penetrated through the goblin's chest and thrust out the other side, catching Merlin off guard
Merlin attempted to back away But the spear had already closed the distance, successfully piercing his sto him he had lost seven health He pulled away frooblin pulled its spear out of its dead cooblin shay fleards Merlin He attempted to block it with his shi+eld, but that didn't seey enveloped his shi+eld, quickly spreading up his ary had faded away
Merlin stood there as the rooravity shi+ft, it felt like he was falling over although he hadn'tin front of hi back and forth with the constantly shi+fting roo curse that induced extreuard pounced forward, thrusting its spear at Merlin's chest He attempted to block it with his shi+eld, however he failed to judge the distance due to the disorientating curse The spear that was supposed to be on a direct path with the shi+eld had instead shi+fted past its reach, piercing his shoulder
The goblin ripped the spear out of Merlin's shoulder and started thrusting the spear once more He successfully parried the spear away this ti his sword, he quickly closed the distance and shoved the torch in the goblin's face The goblin recoiled in pain as its face started to char, dropping the spear and leaping backwards Merlin stepped in, thrusting the gladius into the goblin's chest, finishi+ng it off
The goblin sha on the throne started becoe rusted cleaver resting against its throne Merlin could feel the curse fade away, thankfully the duration had run out He realised that he couldn't afford getting hit with another curse if the boss was going to be fighting hioblin shaman was too far away for him to run up and kill it in ti down to pick up the goblin's spear His eyes locked with the shareenon the staff oncethe spear into the air, the spear flew directly towards the goblin shaman The shaman wasn't able to move out of the way in ti the shay around the staff fizzled out as the staff hit the floor
The last goblin was visibly enraged by this It let out a war cry before leaping out of its throne, charging towards Merlin, who drew his gladius and ran towards the goblin boss
The boss swung the oversized cleaver horizontally, trying to cleave Merlin's body in half He quickly ducked underneath the cleaver, so behind the boss The boss lifted its cleaver over its shoulder and turned around to face hihtened up and pulled a flask from his pocket
"Here, catch!" Merlin taunted as he threw the flask at the goblin, who atte it to be coated by a spray of lantern oil This only served to anger the boss further
Merlin ran towards the goblin sha at hiladius and used his free hand to rip the spear from the shaman's skull, but the blade came loose, so he only obtained the stick it was attached to
Merlin ran the tip of the stick over the torch, the dried rotting wood of the broken spear handle caught fire quickly, with the fire threatening to consume the entire stick in a matter of minutes
The boss at this point was only about fivestick at the goblin boss The boss barely dodged the stick itself, but the flame from the stickinto a large flaoblins previously, started to flail around in a panic Merlin took this opportunity to run towards the other goblin guard's corpse, grabbing its spear
"Open inventory" Merlin chanted, causing his inventoryto open He quickly reached in and pulled out the last vial of lantern oil before waving his inventory away He put the oil flask in his pocket before charging at the boss, thrusting his spear into the boss's side
The boss flailed around, atte the wild swings, they were powerful attacks but each attack was extre the boss's attacks while repeatedly stabbing at the boss with the spear
Eventually the spear ran out of durability and the handle snapped, leaving half of the spear wedged into the goblin's chest Merlin threw the last flask at the boss as the fires started to die down, the lantern oil lasted longer due to it all being on one target, but it still ran out rather quickly
The additional oil caused the flae once , as Merlin saw this he backed away He opened his inventory, pulling out the sling and a handful of ammunition He filled his pockets with thethe inventory ay The boss had entered another phase, ripped the cleaver with both hands and swung it horizontally with all its h the air The boss began spinning with the blade, its rotational speed kept increasing until it wasa full rotation several tisure to deal asup The boss continued spinning around until its speed stagnated,top
