36 Battle for the Mine part 5 (1/2)

The Kobold on room 16th was a Level 12 close combat warrior that had a big copper club as his weapon.It was 9 ft tall and was very stocky, its arms were the size of a human leg and the pressure he gave off was that of an immovable mountain.

”Safety is our first priority, if we feel that he is impossible for us to beat, scout leader Aya will step in and defeat it.Lets do our best and try to not get hit by that copper club”

Bhirl try his best to encourage the team and got ready to charge in along side the other shield warrior.By now the six remaining members of the team had developed a little bit of chemistry with each other and were getting better and better at working together.

Since Bhirl was the stronger of the two, it was his responsibility to test the strength of the Kobold.All six members move inside the room and stood in the middle looking at their opponent.When the Elite Kobold saw who had come in to challenge him, it didn't feel the need to Rawr as they were nothing but ants in his eyes.

The Kobold grabbed his club and moved steadily towards the group.Bhirl prepared to receive the first blow of the fight and used his Strengthen Defense on the shield.

Thump!!!!

When club met shield the sound released by the collision was very muffled.The only thing that indicated that something had happened was the fact that one moment Bhirl was standing in front of them and the next he was sliding down the wall.

HaR! HaR!

If the Kobold could speak he would be trash talking the puny Barbarian that try to stop his attack with that tiny shield.As the Kobold swung the other way with a back hand swing, the second shield warrior decided to dodge the hit with a side roll but was nailed by a kick that send him flying backwards.

Rahz used this time to send a vertical slash towards the extended leg of the Elite but his Axe bounced of like it had hit a metal wall.

Rahz looked at the leg of the Kobold, the energy that covered it during his swing was dissipating.This opponent was not only powerful but was calm and methodical in his fighting.The next move left Rahz with his jaw wide opened.It was his favorite move taken to a whole new level.

MOVE BACK!!!!

Whoooosh... Whooossh.... Whooosh

There was not doubt about it, it was Cyclone on steroids.There was not only one or two or three spins, it looked like a spinning top and the momentum created by each spin actually created a vacuum that attracted the Task Team towards the spinning Club.

Rahz warned the team on time and they were able to be on the outer edge of the cyclone so nobody was caught inside the meat grinder.

Arne was incredibly focus on the fight and when he saw the Kobold with signs of vertigo after using the skill, he attacked the Kobold's eyes viciously.The Task Team had killed hundreds of Kobolds during the expedition and had become very efficient at it.

Clink!

The sound of the dagger bouncing of the eyelids of the Kobold surprised Arne to the extreme and the slap that came after surprised him even more.

Arne parry using his daggers and did a few somersaults backwards to get some distance from the enemy whileRahz tried a horizontal sweep towards the legs hoping to trip the Kobold but not even a Devastating Blow manage to penetrate the defensive energy around the creature's body.

The Kobold recuperated from his spinning vertigo and looked around the room trying to find the person furthest away from him.Once he locked on to that person the Kobold leaped to the location and try to stomp on them with massive force.

Boom!!!

The room shook from the impact but fortunately Bhirl had rolled out of the way before becoming a blood stain on the walls of the mine.Bhirl didn't try to use his shield against the Kobold's attacks anymore and instead opted to deflect everything and anything that was not a swing with that massive club.

Besides the explosive power displayed on the couple of leaps around the room, the Kobold didn't move fast at all.Blaire and the other healer manage to land Icy Winds and Weakness on the enemy repeatedly until the impairment finally stuck on the target.

The encounter became a fight of attrition between the Task Team and the Elite Kobold to see who would run out of energy first.With the detrimental spells it was relatively easy for the team to anticipated the moves of the Kobold and get out of the way.

Seeing his attacks being evaded time and time again enraged the creature to no end.The Kobold reached the end of his patient and stop chasing the annoying flies that would just not die.

RAWR!!!

The Elite Kobold gathered massive amount of Energy and coupled with the rage that he was feeling at not being able to finish the fight quickly activated a version of the Berserker combat art Pulverization Wave.

The skill went off and created an energy wave that lifted part of the ground up in three different directions and move it a long a straight line that hit anything in his path inflicting massive damage.Bhirl and the other shield warrior used their shield to stop 2 of the paths from hitting the healers but the Earth waves hit the shields like a truck with no breaks down a hill.

The Shield warrior flew backwards and hit the person that he was trying to protect.Even though the fall was broken by the healer the internal damage suffer by the hit made him puke blood before passing out.
