Chapter 145: Killed
Grasp! Grasp!
Dhruv was gasping for air as he distanced himself from the monster. After reaching the apple tree where the other experimented goblin was, he stopped to catch some breath.
It took him a few seconds to finally calm down. While calming down he looked at the giant goblin who was trying to destroy the shield.
’These illusion spells are sure a lifesaver,’ Dhruv thought and remembered how he was able to get out of that place. He once again got to know the power of the illusion spells.
When the goblin was continuously attacking him, he created a plan and began to act according to it.
The plan went like this: after creating multiple pillars to support the already strengthened shield, he quickly made the ground beneath his feet soft so he wouldn’t have to struggle to get out of there.
After softening the ground, he used the invisibility spell [Invisible Overlap] on himself to escape from the ground. He had to use this spell so that the goblin wouldn’t notice him while he was escaping.
Even after training the spell for so long, the longest Dhruv could keep a moving object invisible was 30 seconds, which wasn’t a small feat on its own.
But Dhruv didn’t need 30 seconds; all he was trying to achieve was to get out of the corner so he could have a chance to attack the goblin as well and not just defend.
Boooooom!
Crack!
Dhruv turned his gaze as he looked toward the goblin and found out that the monster had finally torn the shield apart. There were still fifteen seconds left before the spell wore off, so Dhruv wasn’t that worried.
Dhruv thought he was out of danger, but he was forced to think again when he noticed the goblin’s actions.
As his gaze remained fixated on the goblin, he began to observe the monster’s every movement.
The goblin only tried to search for this invisible target for no more than three seconds, and after that, three seconds, a strange red aura began to ooze out from the monster.
As the aura spread, the goblin turned his gaze to search for the prey once again. In just a few seconds he managed to lock on Dhruv.
The goblin had managed to pinpoint Dhruv even though he was invisible because, after going berserk, his night vision had transformed into infrared vision, and Dhruv’s invisibility only worked on normal vision.
"Shit..." Dhruv muttered under his breath.
In the blink of an eye, the monstrous creature closed the distance, its muscular arm raised, and a fearsome punch hurtled toward Dhruv’s face.
With remarkable agility, Dhruv skillfully evaded the incoming blow.
As the monster’s mighty punch narrowly missed Dhruv, its unintended target shifted to the tree behind him.
Witnessing the assault on the tree, the slave goblin promptly intervened, believing its lover needed protection. This hasty decision, however, would prove to be his second-worst mistake...
Booooooom!
Splaaash!
As the goblin’s overwhelming punch made contact with the slave, the slave’s entire body disintegrated under the overwhelming force of the punch, resulting in a gruesome rain of blood and flesh.
As the blood rained on his body, Dhruv instinctively glanced to his left.
This unnecessary use of time has left him momentarily vulnerable, allowing the goblin an opportunity for a swift counterattack.
A devastating punch hurtled toward Dhruv, who could only exclaim, "Oh no!"
Before he could react to evade the attack, the goblin’s fist made direct contact with his face with a resounding impact.
Booooom!
Dhruv’s vision went blank for a second before he regained control of his body once again. Blood began to flow from his scalp as his vision began to turn crimson.
The goblin was ready to attack once again, its clenched fist which was trembling thanks to the previous attack. It took one step back to build up momentum to finish the foe in front of him in one attack...
Goblin’s monstrous fist flew toward Dhruv’s face, it didn’t take even a second to connect the attack.
Not feeling the hardness of the skull the monster, looked in front of him...
It found that the monster in front of him had caught his fist...
Dhruv swiftly cached the monstrous blow, seizing the goblin’s fist with an unwavering gaze, he looked into the goblin’s eyes and said with an obvious grim...
"You prefer fists, do you? Let me show you how it’s done properly."
Dhruv clenched his own fist, Dhruv delivered a powerful blow to the goblin’s jaw, sending the creature flying several meters before crashing to the ground.
At any moment, the flesh on Dhruv’s fist had changed from being made out of flesh to that of metal.
The goblin quickly got up from the ground and looked at Dhruv and roared...
Rooooooarrr!!
"What are you barking for? Come on, I don’t have all day..." Dhruv commented as he listened to the goblin’s roar.
The goblin, bearing bloodlust in its eyes, promptly regained its footing and charged Dhruv once more.
Dhruv once again deftly dodged the attack, striking the monster in the same spot once again.
The goblin was propelled through the air once more and landed on the same spot.
Don’t want to waste any more time with the monster anymore Dhruv used a different plan this time.
The goblin got up and ran toward him once again, thinking that this time he would crush the foe for sure. As the monster reached him, it suddenly found itself immobilized.
The monster tried to command the leg to go forward but it was to no avail.
He was thoroughly trapped in the unyielding earth beneath it—a result of Dhruv’s skillful use of the [Mud Trap] spell.
Dhruv looked at the monster in front of him and pitied its situation.
He took a few steps and created a sword made out of metal. He enchanted the sword with fire so he could finish the goblin in one blow.
Looking at the monster in front of him, Dhruv slashed the sword toward its neck with all his strength, killing it on the spot.
[You have killed the monster...]
