“Rashka, child of Mishka, accepts your challenge!”

As soon as I heard those words, I kicked off the ground, and rushed towards Rashka at full throttle . My great sword was already clad in black flames as I descended the gentle hill . Using the inertia of my momentum, I swung down that great sword . That attack that had all of my weight behind it smashed into Rashka’s raised club .

But he was also learned in the ways of the sword . He allowed the force to send him flying, and as a result the damage was mitigated . My preemptive attack failed .

But in a flash, I sent another attack . With the aid of the [Skill] > the sword that had been swung down, slashed up . If my body were still like that of a human’s, my arm would’ve undoubtedly broken with that move . But with the [Skill] which was able to make the impossible, possible, I was able to execute an otherwise impossible move .

The swung sword went up in an instant toward Rashka’s club, held by his still numbed arms . In order not to lose my footing, my body moved itself . This too was thanks to the [Skill] > . As my leg smoothly went out and my sword swung, my body moved for the shortest and most optimal route .

Klunk!

A shocking sound exploded as my sword smashed and cut Rashka’s club into two .

But although he lost his weapon, Rashka only fearlessly smiled .

“I pursue powerEnchant!”

The club that had broken into two shot out a black light inside Rashka’s hands . A black club extended out through the broken club as a medium . And with the club’s great mass, my sword was flicked away .

“OoouuOooO!”

The club in Rashka’s two hands came bashing at me . It swept for my neck, but I crouched to the ground . It went for my body next, but I blocked it with my great sword .

In the blink of an eye, our positions have switched .

Just a while ago I was the one on the offense . And yet now, here I was, barely able to defend .

To make things worse, I was fighting over a descending slope . The enemy’s attacks were gradually getting higher and higher . There’s a chance he might attack my legs . From my knowledge, attacks to the legs are exceedingly hard to defend . To begin with, the swordsmanship I know of is meant to fight against standing opponents .

I continued to block every single one of his strikes with my great sword, but this can’t continue for long . I’m sure he must’ve noticed it by now that I’m worrying over my legs . And just as I thought, he changed his strategy .

He started attacking my legs . But even if one tries to focus his mind, the mind still has a tendency to waver . So from time to time he would still send attacks toward the body or the head .

The enemy’s relentless flurry continued .

If I take a step back, he’ll only push even harder . He’s gradually driving my mind to a corner . Then in the midst of that storm of attacks, an opening was made .

Just when I thought I’d already grasped his movements, Rashka suddenly sent an attack toward my body .

“Let my body be inviolable!Shield”

Immediately, I cancelled the ether wrapped around my sword, and I wrapped my body with it .

I managed to block the attack at the last moment, but Rashka’s attacks did not weaken . His exquisite handling of his club that gave the impression of martial arts, showered me with blow after blow, each filled with the strength of his weight .

I activated the [Skill] >, and continued to dodge, but what gained an edge were Rashka’s attacks . His attacks were fast and strong . And although simple, they dominated over others .

And the one swinging those attacks was none other than this brute with a brain .

The Gaidga goblins are goblins with power comparable to those of wild beasts; they could even bellow out ferocious roars . And from amongst that tribe of brutish goblins was the chief, Rashka .

His strength is definitely equal to several goblins .

If not for the great sword and the shield of ether, I wouldn’t be able to defend against his attacks . I would’ve already been killed by that unceasing tempest .

As the battle continued, I was gradually pushed up the hill, and small wounds started to gather .

To be honest, I didn’t expect him to be able to do this much .

The gray wolves… The orc king, Gol Gol… Every single one of them was strong, and yet this Rashka’s strength wasn’t any weaker .

—This isn’t looking good .

If this keeps up, nothing will change . With that, I decided to distance myself from the enemy, and I jumped back .

But the enemy wasn’t so naive as to just watch that happen .

But because Rashka also thought I would’ve something up my sleeve, he didn’t blindly pursue . Then without even the time to ask him why he didn’t move, Rashka put even more ether into that black club in his hands .

—Not good!

As a horrible premonition pierced through me from behind, I cancelled my shield of ether . And immediately I used Accel, and bolted to the side .

“My life is like a cloud of dust! (Accel)”

Setting only the destination, I tore through the air in retreat .

A black shockwave ran pass the side .

—What was that!?

“My fury howls!Slash”

As I found myself surprised, an attack came reaching for my side .

I used Accel again, and ran away .

In the wake of that black shockwave was a hole hollowed upon the ground . In a single breath, an attack strong enough to bore through the earth had been released . Iif I didn’t see wrong, he tried to slam that club of his against me as it shot out a black light .

He’s even better than me at controlling ether .

But what could really troubling is if that thing could be fired at close range . If so, then even if I tried to dodge before he casted it, I’d still end up getting hit .

Rashka’s lips curved into a smile .

—Ho? So I guess you’re not so easy after all .

If I get close, he’ll pummel me with his club . If I stay away, he’ll send a shockwave at me . He’s strong, but there’s no way I could lose .

I recall Gi Ga’s figure .

There are people courageously striving for my sake . Humans, monsters, none of those things matter . There are people who saw a future in me . There are people who would alongside me in my blood-stained path .

When I looked behind me, I saw the goblins serving me .

I can’t lose .

[Skill] > has activated .

I’ve been keeping it all this time . A doubled-edged sword that will increase my magic and strength, but also increase the damage I take . As much as possible, I didn’t want to use this . Even if I beat Rashka, Kuzan of Gordob, the chief of the last of the four tribe, still remains .

I don’t know how he’s going to move, but if I were to become incapacitated here… things won’t be pretty .

However! With an enemy as strong as this before me, if I don’t fight with everything, I will certainly lose!

I used the > to find the enemy’s weaknesses . Eyes, heart, head, legs… I picked out his weakness from all that fragmented information . Having to continue dodging his casts of Slash, only to barely come out alive each and every time as I tried to think of a way to defeat him was gradually exhausting my mind .

If I exhaust myself too much, I won’t be able to use other skills . Especially > since it’s burden on the mind is too great . It’s strong, but if I make a single mistake, my mind will die before my body does .

That’ll be no different from defeat .

I focused my ether to my sword . Goblins of the four tribes, decide with your own eyes whether I am fit to be your master!

“GURUuUuUAaA!”

As I bellowed out a roar, the earth shook .

“My fury howls!Slash”

I met the oncoming shockwave with my blade .

“Turn me into a bladeEnchant! ”

As I ferociously walked toward that shockwave, I swung my enchanted great sword against it .
