[The Goblin Chief has entered the berserk state]
[The Alpha Hound has entered the berserk state]
'...'
I cleared my mind and did not allow any dangerous thoughts to linger within. I knew that thinking about sohow being cursed would worsen the situation, but even after having remained silent for a couple of seconds, I could not help but look at the mana I had left and grimace.
'I'm 100% sure I'm going to die!' I inwardly cried but still stood a few ters away from the pair of master and servant, a cold aura coming out of .
A slight frown appeared on my face at the sa ti, however, but instead of it being one of worry, it seed to be one of soone who had gathered their resolve for battle and was ready to attack the enemies with everything I had.
I clenched onto the hilt of the blade I held as tightly as I could. The red aura was coming out of my body at a rate that I could have only been able to imagine before the awakening that occurred after I gained my elent, but the amount didn't matter right now since I couldn't control my red energy the way I wanted.
'Gotta rember to ask Blanca how to control my magic when I get back out.' I tried to think positively, yet after thinking of Blanca, the only thing that lingered within my mind was the hatred I had for her mixed with the amount of disdain I held towards her uselessness.
'If only I was strong enough...'
At that mont, I felt my resolve shoot through the roof.
Today I was going to beco stronger, and while this usually would have ant a lot to since it would an that I was one step closer to ending the elves and their society, I was not thinking of everything I could do with that much power.
'I wouldn't be pushed around by people like Blanca... Those who are so much stronger than . I would have freedom from the very first ti in what feels like forever.'
With resolve filling to the brim as well as hatred towards the elves and Blanca making release and an enormous amount of killing intent, I launched forward and tore through the air appearing in front of the hound with the speed of a blurring shadow.
However, before I could even do anything to harm the hound...
*BOOM*
I was flung across the throne room and imdiately smashed into the wall behind the throne.
It felt like the world was spinning around , but I did not have ti to lant as another enormous surge of dread hit once again.
Without skipping a beat, I rolled the right and heard another loud crashing sound before the creature seed to turn towards with a grunt.
At the sa mont, I felt another surge of dread and power head towards , making my expression turn ugly before my eyes flashed with coldness and my sword swung at it with all the power I could muster.
Having still had the red energy intertwined with the blade, it had corroded a little but the effects weren't too much, however, the mont the blade clashed with the spear of the chief goblin, I heard a crack enter my ears and forced myself to jump away.
*Grunt*
Feeling the dread and hearing the grunt, I opened my eyes once again, and even though it still felt like the world was spinning around , it was worth it since I could now see exactly how and what was attacking .
Looking down, I saw that the hound was extending its claws towards as I moved through the air after having jumped away from the goblin chief.
Gritting my teeth once again, I held the sword with both my hands and used the weight it had gained after absorbing my blood energy to spin mid-air.
*Swoosh*
I felt the wind brush past my face as an enormous paw moved past , barely missing and hitting thin air.
'I can do this...'
I stressed the muscles in my arm and flicked my sword upright. I felt a burst of wind hit in the face, yet even then I forced myself to keep them wide open.
'I can do this.'
*Swoosh*
I felt the wind parting from my right, urging to turn around and look at the spear that was tearing through the air and moving at a terrifying speed towards my heart.
'I can do this.'
My eyes darted to the left, where the paw had missed and had still not been retracted. A small but confident smile curled up the corner of my lips and one of my feet slamd into the paw of the hound making it tilt backward and allowing to use it as leverage.
In the sa instant, I blurred through the air and narrowly dodged the incoming spear, ducking under it and appearing in front of the shocked goblin chief unscathed.
'Let's see how you deal with this!'
Extending my hands, I gripped onto the wrist of the goblin chief. I felt it instinctually try to break out of my grip, yet before it could do so, it suddenly froze when it felt sothing happening.
[Life Drain Activated]
A numbing pain traveled up to its shoulder and shook its bones. The feeling within its arm had vanished in that split second, and panic took over its mind.
While life drain in reality only took 1hp per second, it did not an that the robbing of soone's hp would be painless. Based on what I have seen so far, it is similar to being slowly cooked from the inside out while losing your senses one by one.
Before the hound or goblin chief could react, I thrust my blade between their eyes. Blood gushed out of the other side while an ear-piercing screech of terror left its mouth. Not wanting to hear any more of it, I withdrew my blade and slit its throat just deep enough to cut its vocal cords or at least make its screams inaudible due to the blood that it had begun to drown in.
*Thud*
*thud*
The goblin chief's body landed heavily on the ground while my fall was graceful, almost inaudible to those who did not have good hearing.
*Clang*
Looking back, I realized that the goblin chief's spear had fallen too, making widen my eyes in realization.
'Loot!? Finally! I have been blessed!'
*ROAR*
The entire cavern seed to shake under the bellowing roar of the hound. My eyes narrowed slightly while my body once again beca a blur in the sa second. Since I still had the blood energy running rampage within my body and giving an enormous boost in power, I was able to move at speeds incomparable to before, yet even that seed to be inconsequential compared to the speed of the hound.
Within the blink of an eye, I was forced to defend my right side by slashing my now blood-red sword in that direction. Cracks were already visibly increasing in quantity, but I still chose to attack the fearso claws of the beast with the weapon.
*Clash*
*Crack*
*Shatter*
My eyes widened, not in surprise but in terror.
I had already expected the sword to shatter after taking this hit, yet not only did it et my expectations, it seed to go beyond it.
After shattering, the blood energy burst out in the direction of the paw, yet one second late and I already felt the danger co closer once again.
A furless paw with 3 claws missing struck out at with what seed like lightning speed. I could only watch as it ca closer and closer, my fate almost being sealed imdiately.
However, I was not weak... I would never allow myself to die in such a way. I had every chance to survive. I could think of a thousand ways that I could have optimized a better situation, yet here I stood waiting for my death.
No matter how many lives I had, I would never let sothing like this happen.
How would I fight against the elves if I was so willing to die to a asly dog?
Stretching my arm back, I felt it grow in power and get filled to the brim with blood energy, to the point where a single incorrect movent might have caused my entire arm to blow up like a water balloon.
[Conditions t]
[Pinpoint activated]
Seeing the red outlines of all its weak spots, the halo within my eyes lit up with a bright crimson color while the veins within my arm started to glow.
Finally, my arm exploded out with power and energy, shooting forward and unbelievable speeds, and descended upon the claw of the tiger.
*BOOM*
The sound of bones shattering into a thousand pieces resounded within the cavern before two audible thuds echoed once again before silence descended and the battle for the very last ti.
