Chapter 14 Shadow Blur (2/2)
He screamed inside as he forcefully pulled his right hand that's holding his dagger upwards, and in the nick of time, managed to block it!
Clang!
The attack sent Michael staggering backwards, but the Elite Goblin isn't finished yet as it closed in again at Michael and slashed its shortsword towards his chest!
'Shit!' Michael cursed when he saw the attack coming as he knows that he wouldn't be able to block or even dodge it this time!
[ -125! ]
A frightening damage floated above Michael's head, almost depleting a fourth of his health!
But the Elite Goblin's not done yet! After all, it's skill wouldn't be called a [Triple Slash] if it didn't have a third slash, right!?
[ Critical Hit -233! ]
”Damn!” Michael cursed as he retreated backwards before his back bumped into a tree, while the Elite Goblin stopped in its place while glaring at Michael, as it started to breath heavily.
[ +150! ]
Michael immediately pulled one of his potions and drank it, restoring some of his health back to 508 HP from a 358 HP.
”I'd die if he uses it another time” Michael muttered as both sides went into a glaring showdown, but the goblin is still steadily losing health from the bleeding damage.
After all, everything from the start of the Elite Goblin's [Triple Slash] only happened in the span of five seconds, and there is still five seconds more before its [Bleeding] status wears off.
”Hahaha!” Michael suddenly started laughing to himself while maintaining eye contact at the Elite Goblin.
”This is great! This is like back then when I was still an Assassin who was wet behind his ears!” Michael laughed as he remembered a memory from back then, when he and Amanda were still running away for their lives!
”I hope you don't disappoint me, Mr. Goblin!” Michael grinned widely as he suddenly burst forward, and halfway towards the Elite Goblin. He suddenly disappeared as he slowly turned into a blur, and at the same time, Michael heard the jiggling sound of the bell when that happened.
”This game is awesome” were the first sentence that came out of his mouth when he suddenly appeared behind the Elite Goblin, before he executed a [Backstab].
And the confused Elite Goblin belatedly realized that his enemy suddenly appeared behind him, but this realization was already too late as the Elite Goblin got stabbed on its back.
Michael sent another flurry of regular attacks before retreating backwards.
”Skriee!” the Elite Goblin screeched in anger as it turned around and started attacking Michael.
A few minutes later.
*Thud!*
The Elite Goblin finally fell as its body burst into loot, and his quest was finally completed.
[ The [Goblin Extermination Quest] has been completed!]
Michael ignored it and went over and picked up the loot from the Elite Goblin and he got 1 Gold Coin, 3 Silvers and 73 Copper Coins, along with a string necklace decorated from what looked like fangs of some beast, a Mid Level Health Potion, a curved dagger made from a bone and it seems Michael's luck is truly soaring towards the skies as he had gotten another Skill Scroll, but sadly for him.
It was a skill meant for Hunters!
Michael just threw all of it inside his [Inventory] and went to check at what caused him to instantly appear behind the Elite Goblin earlier.
”Holy!” Michael was startled when he saw it, so he immediately clicked it and something appeared in front of him.
