《The Celestial Swordsman》Chapter 1.6: A Battle to Move Forward
Advertisement
The goblins had begun rushing Hoshi from all sides. He was greatly outnumbered, but not outpowered. At least that's what Hoshi hoped.
As the goblins rushed closer, Hoshi held his shield closer and prepared to defend and counterattack.
The first goblin to get within swinging distance of Hoshi was carrying an ax. The goblin swung the ax in the air and began to slash it downwards to Hoshi.
Hoshi reacted quickly, expecting this sort of attack, raised his shields above his head, blocked the attack, and threw the goblin back, further than the other goblins.
Seeing this the other goblins stood in shock for a moment only to once again start rushing Hoshi.
Hoshi didn't know who would hit first. The remaining five goblins closest to him were on all his sides.
This time quick thinking saved him. Hoshi decided to turn in the direction where there were the most goblins - two, exactly and that was on his right. One was carrying a club and the other, a spiked shield.
The goblin with the spiked shield thrust forward against Hoshi, only for him to be stopped, by Celestial StarBlaze - Hoshi's sword, which sliced through the weak wooden shield, going far enough to cut the goblin who had been wielding it.
At the same time, Hoshi had taken the shield and placed it in front of the goblin with the club. The club collided with the shield blocking most of the damage, but this time pushing Hoshi back, since he could not put his full effort into defending, leaving Hoshi in the open for an attack. As soon as Hoshi was hit, another goblin, with a club, managed to get a hit while Hoshi was in the open. Hoshi was pushed forward by the impact.
Hoshi was being pushed around the goblins. He managed to block most of the hits, but the ones that did get through did a lot of damage. Hoshi was in a rough spot and needed to get out of it.

First off, he needed to defeat the two goblins in front of him. One of them had been disarmed, but the second one still had his ax. Luckily the goblin that Hoshi had thrown back was still out cold. Behind him were another two goblins. One with a club and one with an ax. There his number one priority was disarming the ax-wielding goblin as he was the most dangerous.
It was time to put his plan in motion.
As the goblins were continuing to clobber him, Hoshi gripped his sword tighter and lifted it up into the air. Then he swung it down on to the weaponless goblin, slicing him in two.
From there, the goblin next to him was left open for a moment and Hoshi didn't take a moment to swing his blade right back to him, continuing the momentum. Unluckily for Hoshi, the goblin managed to throw his club between him and the sword, but when the sword collided with the club, both weapons smashed into the goblin sending him flying into the mountain's wall.
The next moment Hoshi felt a sharp pain in his back. Hoshi turned his head where the pain came from and saw the goblin's ax lodged fairly deep in his back. This was not good. As it would be unwise to leave such a wound open Hoshi reacted quickly. Cutting of the ax's handle and quickly spinning around. Hoshi was bleeding, but he didn't have time to treat the wound. All Hoshi could do was defeat the two goblins which were left.
The only goblin who still had the weapon - the goblin with a club, yelled in anger as he swung his club at Hoshi.
The goblin did nothing though because Hoshi had skillfully placed the shield in between the two enemies. Hoshi pushed the goblin back as he swung his sword at the second goblin.
In a moment the two remaining enemies had been defeated. Hoshi had won the fight.

If superpowers appeared today, what might the future look like? In a future which has endured nuclear wars, people rarely wake up one day with supernatural powers, transforming an innocent life into a walking apocalypse. Shunned and feared, these Exhumans are often violent, ever misunderstood, and always dangerous. In this world unfolds the dark story of Athan Ashton, an 18-year old with a football scholarship who wakes up to find himself a lightning-powered Exhuman. Following a failed imprisonment and execution, he is exiled to the wilds, ostracized from all he’s even known. Like most, Athan never questioned society's view of Exhumans, buying the public line that they are selfish and a danger, fit only to be reported and dispatched. But living on the other side, Athan begins to discover why Exhumans go bad, and begins the impossible task of becoming more than just his powers. Athan is dedicated to use his Exhumanity only for good, but is that enough to survive in a world where his very existence is a crime?

8 119Capital of Greed
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The Cosmic Realm, the Infernal Realm, and the Mortal Realm constitute the world of Avaritia, a prosperous land of might and magic. With Humans, Elves, Dragons, Hobbits, Dwarves, and even Gods inhabiting its lands, it is a world that is as rich in history as it is in strife. For thousands of years, the Three Realms were locked in relentless conflict; the Mortal Realm serving as the battlefield. The three sides secured victories both large and small, but none managed to truly prevail over the others. Unable to watch his children slaughter each other, the God King Raidriar sacrificed his own life and split the Three Realms, stopping the endless wars. However, with his death, he left a prophecy. “On the eve of the Fourth Millennium, when the tears of Ausar finally run dry, the Throne of Fortune will appear.”“And he who ascends the Throne will be named ‘King of the World’.” And now, many years have passed and the fabled time has finally come. The Three Realms have shown signs of reuniting once again and the Gods have begun to place their bets on their chosen champions.
