Moving in the darkness was by no ans easy, but after traveling through the dark tunnel once, Damian was able to pick up the pace the second ti.
Calm down
A ranged attack wasnt an option so Damian couldnt make use of stealth. The only option that he had was the elent of surprise.
Lets go for a quick entry.
Rather than rushing in only when the Goblins have already noticed him, Damian was going to go in head first. Of course, the warcry had to be excluded.
I can see more clearly.
Now that he already had a general idea of where each Goblin was, Damians was more focused and less blurry. Before a second had passed, he already decided on his target.
Although the sword was the sharpest weapon Damian had, it was too fragile to use on re Goblins, especially considering the big surprise that awaited him at the end.
Fortunately
Co out!
This ti, Damian had what he needed to make the knife just as sharp!
The platinum shimr only gathered around the knife a split second before it reached the Goblins neck, sending his head flying off.
Things would have been less than ideal if the timing was wrong, but Damian had no choice other than to risk it due to the limited activation ti.
[ You have defeated a Goblin. FP 1 ]
The first step was even more of a success this ti. However, the platinum aura had already dispersed. A minute had to pass before Damian could use it again.
Before the next Goblin lunged at him, Damian picked up his victims poisoned knife and thrust it into its neck all the sa.
Instead of just keeping himself to the limited weapon choices that he started with, Damian planned to exchange weapons as fast as he could.
Thanks to this being his second attempt, Damians increased spatial awareness allowed him to achieve that.
And to make things better, the second Goblin dropped sothing more useful!
Nice!
It wasnt covered with poison and its reach was still lacking, but Damian got his hands on a short sword. Considering that Iris sword lost half of its blade, they almost had the sa reach.
Three more
While the actual number of the Goblins was six, one of them was hiding sowhere just like the Hobgoblin.
Since he would get ganged on by the rest if he took his ti to search for them, Damian left the task of finding their hiding place to Iris.
If they wanted to join the battle, they had to eventually reveal themselves.
Swish! Swish!
Stepping backward, Damian swung the short sword in the air to deter the Goblins and buy himself so ti. If he could hold on just a little bit longer
Greee!
Naturally, seeing one of their own dead and another paralyzed on the ground, the Goblins reacted in the sa way as last ti.
Unfortunately for them, even Damians crude stalling tactics were sufficient in this case.
[ You have defeated a Goblin. FP 1 ]
With more reach and sharpness, Damian tried to go a little bold. He didnt dare to pause after cutting off just one head, he went straight for the next Goblin.
Shit!
In the end, Damians gamble didnt pay off. After seeing him attack the sa area twice, the second Goblin was fast enough to duck and avoid the last-second strike.
The Aura dispersed once more, but this ti
Shik!
Due to the additional montum that he had to put out for the second strike, Damians imbalanced stance almost allowed the free Goblin to plunge its knife into his abdon.
Although it only ended up being a scratch, the poison it had was still going to act sooner or later. In addition, he also missed his chance to pick up the dead Goblins weapon!
[ You have defeated a Goblin. FP 1 ]
I need to finish this quickly.
Ignoring the paralyzed Goblins death, Damian tackled the Goblin that managed to avoid his attack. Without the broken longsword or Aura, his only option was consecutive attacks.
At the very least, there was only one more Goblin to be wary of, so so grappling wouldnt necessarily an Damians end.
Woooh
However, just as he was about to start stabbing, Damians body tilted to the right on its own. Damian wondered what was happening at first, but he soon saw the knife that he barely avoided.
{Dami-}
The hidden Goblin had been waiting for the chance to strike, and it missed it just like that!
{Oh, you already avoided it.}
Iris voice sounded out too late just like last ti, but this was only expected. Every battle she saw was no different from a nightmare or a horror movie. It only made sense that she couldnt overco the sense of paralysis that ca with them.
Most importantly, Damian had just realized that she gave him a much greater gift in return for all of her incompetence.
[ Combat Instincts (A ): Your body knows its way around the battlefield. ]
Compared to its high rating, the talents description was too obscure.
Considering his less comprehensive experience in the ga, such talents only gave so nurical boosts in turn-based combat, so Damian didnt have much hope for it.
However, now that he had personally experienced its effects, Damian was elated.
As a normal person who had never laid his hands on a proper weapon back on Earth, this was just what he needed to keep the number of his retries at a reasonable range!
Just like so of the gas staples were destroyed by the reality patch, other elents ended up receiving a greater enhancent in return. In real ti Auto-reaction was an overpowered ability!
Shik! Shik! Shik!
Seeing the sneaky Goblin staggering into the sa awkward position that he was in a few seconds ago, Damian took his chance to turn the tackled Goblins neck into minced at.
[ You have defeated a Goblin. FP 1 ]
Its not perfect, but its still cheat-like.
He didnt see it coming, yet Damian was also able to turn the free Goblins second strike into another scratch. Now that the number of his enemies was reduced by half, Combat Instincts was really showing its hand!
After receiving its scratch attack, Damian elbowed the free Goblin first before bouncing on the sneaky one.
Even if he lost on the speed side, against these small monsters, Damian still held the advantage in size and strength
You arent so strong when you are alone, after all.
Damian could already feel his next Aura charge ready to be used, but by then, the last Goblin was already squirming under his grip.
[ You have defeated a Goblin. FP 1 ]
The battle that felt like it would last forever had finally co to an end Or so Damian mistakenly believed for a split second.
{Run! He is coming!}
In reality, the true part of the battle had yet to even comnce!
