Fearlessly moving forward with his blades, Xiao Chen showed not even an ounce of mercy. He slashed left and right and scattering limbs along his path. Draegh'ana's spells struck those who tried to jump at Xiao Chen and reduced them into mere falling objects that were burnt charcoal black.

The outcome of the battle was already decided when Xiao Chen stormed forward. It would just take some time to eradicate all of them and with more than half of the original number of the goblins, Xiao Chen had an easier time slaughtering them all. Fire spells soared above him and burnt those who ever were unlucky to be targeted by the orc mage.

"It seems like their boss is here..." Xiao Chen muttered as he stared at the huge goblin that was almost the same height as him. The huge hobgoblin wielded an enormous sword that looks more like a blunt weapon than a slashing weapon with its dull and chipped edges.

"Be careful, this one is the boss!" Xiao Chen shouted as he glance at the two ladies only to see a gigantic bolt of fire passing by him and nailing the huge hobgoblin to the walls of the cave. The huge hobgoblin writhed in agony, but the bolt of fire that nailed him to the walls held through and burnt him till only ashes of him remained.

"Well, that's one way to deal with it." he muttered as he was surprised about the fact that it Draegh'ana was able to take it down so quickly. Continuing on their path, Xiao Chen smashed left and right with his crescent-moon spear after recovering it.

A few meters ahead, on a narrow path, another huge hobgoblin that was almost the same size as the previous one was standing on their path. It wasn't anything special except that this hobgoblin is equipped with a high-quality armor. But the thing that caught Xiao Chen's attention was the large thing swinging freely in between the legs of the hobgoblin which was dripping a murky white liquid from its tip.

Draegh'ana couldn't stand the offensive sight and released her fire spells one after another and turning the armor that the hobgoblin was so proud of into an oven that cooked its wearer. Screaming in pain, the hobgoblin quickly removed his armor and threw it away. His red hot armor bounced off the walls of the cave as he rubbed its burnt skin with his palms.

The hobgoblin stared at Draegh'ana, then at Adhalia. That huge thing between his legs noticeably started getting bigger as it swelled in size. It's true that the two ladies who were with Xiao Chen are nice women who can make anyone feel excited and would love to f*ck, but the act deserves a thousand deaths according to Xiao Chen's books. None shall be allowed to hit on the women who are with him without his permission.

"I'll do it!"

"Stand back!"

Xiao Chen loudly commanded as he twirled his weapon on his hands. "There's no way that I'll let you have them..." he softly whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear. Charging forward, Xiao Chen brought his spear down on top of the head of the hobgoblin. The hobgoblin was quick to react as be grabbed his weapon with both hands. The battle turned into a contest of strength as Xiao Chen exerted more power on his arms and pushing his enormous weapon down while the hobgoblin tried his best to push away the curved blade that was attached to his opponent's weird weapon.

"Rah!"

Xiao Chen screamed as he jumped up and put his weight on his weapon, which forced the hobgoblin to go down on one knee. Without missing a beat, Xiao Chen rammed his shoulder against the chest of the hobgoblin and sent it stumbling backwards before unsheathing his two blades and scissor slashed the neck of the hobgoblin.

After decapitating the second hobgoblin, another one jumped at him from the shadows, which sent him flying backwards as he crashed against the walls. While flying backwards, Xiao Chen grabbed his spear and used it to slow down the momentum of him flying away as the added weight reduced his speed.

Wiping the blood that was on his lips, Xiao Chen brought his spear forward and pointed it at the third hobgoblin who had a huge axe on his hands. Charging forward, Xiao Chen aimed for the neck of his opponent, but his enemy easily evaded his attack as he leaned to one side. Not giving up, Xiao Chen aimed for the torso of his foe on his next attack, only for his weapon to fall down on the ground heavily as the hobgoblin brought down his massive spear on his weapon. Xiao Chen released a storm of attacks, but the hobgoblin somehow always evaded his attacks as it deftly swayed around.

Xiao Chen was in awe of the great fighting capability of the hobgoblin and he would like to have him under his command where he could sharpen more of its skills, but too bad he was an enemy. Thinking that the orc had already given up, the hobgoblin charged forward and swing his weapon down on Xiao Chen.

In a contest of strength, it was a really close comparison, that is, if Xiao Chen doesn't make use of the momentum of his body. Turning around, Xiao Chen smashes his enormous weapon against the axe of the hobgoblin in a horizontal strike. A deafening sound of metal striking each other filled the corners of the cave. The result of the clash was that the hobgoblin stumbled backwards with his axe almost flying away from his arms as it was sent back above and behind his head.

The huge difference of their weapons gave Xiao Chen an edge. With the hobgoblin competing with him in terms of full powered strikes, decided the end of the line. In no time, Xiao Chen repeated his strikes as he continuously spun around and struck the hobgoblin who was stumbling backwards after trying to block the orc's powerful strikes. On the twelfth full powered swing of Xiao Chen, the weapon of the hobgoblin was sent flying away as he was no longer abler to contain the force of the orc's attack. The huge axe spun around and got embedded deeply in the walls.

Seeing that he no longer has a weapon, he reached for one of the clubs on the ground but Xiao Chen didn't give him any moment to catch his breath. Another horizontal strike came for the hobgoblin, who tried to block the enormous weapon with the wooden club that he picked up. Metal is stronger than wood and that was proven after the wooden club that the hobgoblin used to block Xiao Chen's strike shattered to pieces and his right arm mangled badly, with only the bones and some dangling left of his right arm.

"Ki...!!!"

A high pitch howl of pain reverberated as the hobgoblin clutched his shattered arm with his other arm. Xiao Chen then spun around and brought his spear down on the top of his opponent's head, who was busy trying to control the bleeding of his shattered hand.

The spear slammed down against the ground and after a brief silence, the hobgoblin split in half vertically. The body fluids and entrails of the hobgoblin slid off its body as the horrendous stench wafted in the air. There were a few goblins who were hanging back didn't make a sound as what they just witness shocked them.

Draegh'ana from behind Xiao Chen didn't miss the chance and set them all ablaze while they remained stationary. Goblins bathed in fire run around like a bunch of noisy children until they could no longer utter any sound as they fall to the ground unmoving while the flames continued on devouring their bodies.

Xiao Chen went forward unimpeded, but what came next was a rain of rocks that safely bounced off his thick skin. The goblins were keeping their distance away from him as they hurl rocks at him. Xiao Chen opened his palms as he caught one of the rocks thrown at him with his right hand. Returning the favor, he hurled it back at one of the goblins who copied what he had done. The goblin opened his palms as he tried to catch the rock that was thrown by Xiao Chen, but the result that he was expecting didn't come true. The goblin stared in bewilderment at his now missing palm, which was demolished by the rock that was thrown at him by the orc.

Inspecting the goblins who were attacking them, Xiao Chen spotted one of them hurling many rocks at him without even touching the rocks. Picking his target, Xiao Chen threw a sizeable rock at the odd goblin and shattered its face with it. "That was a magic-user..." Draegh'ana complemented to which Xiao Chen just shrugged his shoulders in response but deep inside his mind he couldn't believe it that he defeated a magic-user by just simply hurling a rock at him.

Sending the goblins retreating as each of the rock that he had thrown claimed e life. Xiao Chen approached the suspected magic-user and checked if it was still alive, but with both arms and legs twitching, its death is pretty much confirmed. Xiao Chen crouched down and picked the thing that caught his attention. It was an old book with many pages missing which was tied at the waist of the magic-user.

"What's this? A goblin with a book? It seems that Grogus wasn't the only goblin that is interested in books." Xiao Chen chuckled as he collected his battle trophy. "Why collect it? It's just an old book..." Adhalia commented, to which Xiao Chen didn't respond but just tossed the book at Draegh'ana. Upon opening the remaining pages of the book, the female orc's eyes widened at what she saw.
