Rowan went straight for the guard.
Facing such a large group of enemies, he had to eliminate them as quickly as possible; otherwise, if he got surrounded, he would truly have no choice but to run.
He had to finish this quickly.
“Asura Slash!” He lowered his blade, striking a pose to begin charging up.
The killing intent around him surged like a tide.
Under his perception of killing intent, even without eyes, Rowan could clearly sense the location of his enemies.
The Goblin Commander rushed before him, raising his massive axe, intending to chop his enemy in half.
He loved doing this; no matter who the enemy was, he loved cleaving them in two like this.
However, this strange human showed not a trace of fear on his face.
He just watched quietly, as if looking at a tree or a stone, without any fluctuations.
“Hm?
A black light?
Why would black emit light?
Why is my vision starting to scatter?
I…” Blood splashed backward like a rainstorm.
That tall commander guard had been sliced directly in two by a single streak of black light.
The black light did not lose momentum after cutting the enemy apart; it actually plowed a long trench into the ground, struck a wooden building over ten meters away, and sheared off a corner.
[Experience + 14000] On the side, the Golden-haired Captain gasped.
“And you said you didn’t know any martial arts?
What is this?” It was fortunate he hadn’t used this move on him yesterday; otherwise, his fate would have been no different from that Goblin—he would have been sliced in two for sure.
“This kid is too insidious.” The scene fell silent.
The Goblin King, furious from embarrassment, began chanting a spell, and a shield-bearing Goblin defender charged toward Rowan.
On the other side, the Golden-haired Captain’s rush was also blocked by a Goblin defender; his swordsmanship was completely ineffective against the large-shield Goblin.
The Elf girl’s arrow was blocked by a magical barrier from the Goblin.
“Martial Art – Piercing Strike” The Elf girl charged up a strike, intending to shatter the Goblin King’s barrier.
This powerful strike did indeed shatter the Goblin King’s barrier, but the Goblin King countered with a Magic Missile that struck the Elf girl, sending her flying.
The Elf girl collapsed to the ground, unconscious and potentially dead; she was out of the fight.
“Good grief, you talked so easily before, I thought you were so strong, but this is it?
One-shotted in a single move.” Meanwhile, the Golden-haired Captain had exquisite swordsmanship, but he was held back by the Goblin defender wielding a large shield, unable to advance for the time being.
“These teammates are a bit weak!” Rowan slashed his sword at the shield-bearer, but it was blocked by the opponent’s door-like large shield.
The Goblin archers behind also knew that Rowan posed the greatest threat, so they fired at him, forcing him to jump around for a while.
Fortunately, Rowan’s defense was terrifyingly high, so he didn’t lose much HP even when hit.
Even a commander-level Goblin could only barely break through his defense.
“Tsk, there are too many people to use Degradation; otherwise, I wouldn’t be this passive.” Although Rowan was strong, he couldn’t break through for the moment.
The Goblin King guessed that the powerful martial art from earlier couldn’t be used consecutively.
He originally intended to continue attacking to finish off the Elf first; however, at that moment, the Captain suddenly pulled out a magic scroll.
“Close your eyes!” the Golden-haired Captain shouted.
“Tier 3 Magic: Sunlight!” The intense magical light radiated in all directions, regardless of friend or foe.
Rowan closed his eyes immediately, relying on the ripple of killing intent to easily pinpoint the enemies.
He circled behind the shield-bearer and slew him with a single sword strike.
The shield-bearer’s shield was very thick, but his back was just a normal flesh-and-blood body.
[Experience + 12000] That wasn’t the end of it; he continued to charge, rushing in and slashing wildly before the archers could recover.
[Experience + 13000] Rowan intended to continue rushing the Goblin King, but the opponent had already reacted.
The Goblin King dared not be careless; in such a short time, Rowan had killed the Goblin defender and archers.
If he were to be engaged in close quarters, he definitely wouldn’t be able to hold out for long, not to mention that terrifying martial art from earlier.
Without hesitation or holding back, the Goblin King unleashed his signature move as soon as he attacked.
“Tier 4 Magic: Chain Fireball.” Several consecutive fireballs appeared and then smashed toward Rowan at high speed.
“Die under my Chain Fireball, you foolish human.” The Goblin King laughed heartily, watching as Rowan was engulfed by the fireballs.
This was his signature move; the fireballs were extremely fast, nearly impossible to dodge at such close range, and the damage was far higher than that of ordinary Fireball spells.
No one could block this move.
Being hit in the face by the fireballs, Rowan was given a huge fright.
He wanted to dodge but it was too late, so he had to take the fireballs with his face.
“Damn it, how did I end up facing the BOSS?
Is this a job I can handle?” The scorching fireballs slapped wildly against his face.
“Huh, it doesn’t seem that hot.” With the Asura passive, over one hundred magic defense, and the Master Blacksmith’s passive Advanced Fire Resistance, these piled-up fireballs didn’t actually inflict much damage on Rowan.
But others didn’t know that.
Seeing Rowan getting blasted in the face by numerous fireballs, the Golden-haired Captain let out an angry roar and used his trump card move immediately.
“Battle Aura Concentration!” “Blade Slash!” Although he had used the bright light earlier, he couldn’t rush forward while keeping his eyes closed like Rowan could; he had only used the cover of the bright light to bypass the defender and rush toward the Goblin King.
The Golden-haired Captain’s weapon emitted a faint golden light.
He bypassed the defender, his strongest strike aiming straight for the Goblin King.
Rowan, kneeling on one knee on the ground, had his first thought: ‘This guy is too rich, how are scrolls like they don’t cost money?’ The second thought: ‘How many more do you have on you?’ The strike containing the Golden-haired Captain’s strongest power slashed fiercely against a green shield in front of the Goblin King.
“Hm?
A shield?” “How is there another defensive spell?” The powerful strike destroyed the shield directly, but the Goblin King had already retreated to create distance.
The Golden-haired Captain felt something was wrong.
He pursued, but took a lightning spell from the Goblin King head-on.
The intense current struck his body at a speed so fast that no human could react to it.
The Golden-haired Captain, still in his rushing posture, had his fair face blackened by the electricity and knelt directly on the ground.
These surprises came one after another; the Goblin King knew way too many spells.
Rowan had slipped to the side of the Goblin King during the chaos.
The Goblin King also discovered Rowan’s movement.
His expression turned grave, wondering how Rowan could still be alive after taking the fireballs to the face.
He repeated his old trick, casting a shield on himself again.
Magic was different from skills; magic didn’t have the concept of a cooldown time, it only consumed mana.
“Basic Attack!” The shield was like paper; he slashed right through it, then used a basic attack again.
It was dodged.
He continued to pursue and use basic attacks.
The Goblin King was furious and frustrated.
What was up with this weird human?
Why was he still lively after enduring his magic?
For the first time, the Goblin King suspected that he might have been using fake magic.
