Large-scale proving ground 4

When the light disappeared, what appeared in front of Adriel was another group of goblins, but these goblins were not like the ones from before, although they were still incredibly ugly, their appearance was a bit more bearable to look at compared to the goblins of the first wave.

Their skin was a somewhat purer green, less disgusting than before, their faces were a little less deformed, and they were a little less ugly, just a little.

Their bodies, though still short and skinny, were a little more muscular and bulky, plus Adriel swears that each one was a few inches taller compared to their brothers from the first wave.

In addition to his physical changes, his equipment was also superior, they wore worn leather armor and metal weapons, although old and rusty, they were much better weapons than what their companions of the first wave carried. "Aaarrr !!!"

The moment they appeared, the hideous creatures simultaneously snarled and ran towards Adriel.

Their speed faster than before, in a few seconds they would reach Adriel.

Of course, Adriel wouldn't just sit around waiting for them to attack him, no, instead, he charged towards them with the Aurora sword in hand, he didn't plan to use more essence than necessary, after all, there were still five more rounds left after this.

And he did not know what awaited him, it was better to be cautious. In a second, I arrive in front of the first goblin and with a simple sword blow, cut it into two pieces.

He easily dodged incoming attacks and, as in the previous round, he used basic inspection on a random goblin.

"As I feared"

Adriel was already expecting this, these goblins were physically different as they were from a higher essence realm.

Such was the magic of essence, it gave you the ability to continually evolve, to shed the limitations of your species and lineage, to transcend the laws of physics, and much more. That's how ridiculous the essence was, it makes it possible and impossible to distort, for example, with his current physical strength, Adriel can lift a large truck based solely on his body strength, being able to do that with his body size literally defies the laws of physics, it shouldn't be possible, it shouldn't be possible. But ... the essence made it possible.

Adriel finished with the new batch of goblins in a few minutes, he could have slaughtered them all in seconds, but he was saving his essence and stamina as much as possible, like lazy people who move as little as possible out of laziness and fatigue.

That was Adriel's condition now. A light resplendent and as blinding as the sun shone again for an instant, when it dissipated, all the corpses disappeared, in their place another batch of goblins appeared.

Their number had been reduced again, this time they were ten, looking, again, a little less horrendous than the previous round, they were taller and stronger, if the last ones measured 1.10 meters, these measure 1.20 meters, less worn gear and a pair of blood-red eyes that, this time, glowed with a tiny, tiny, intelligence light.

As soon as they appeared, they launched themselves on Adriel, not grunting like the previous ones, but they were much faster, without a doubt, if the goblins of the previous round ran at the speed of a fat and sedentary man, they run at the speed of an athlete. Although, to Adriel, they still seemed awfully slow.

He inspected, once again, a goblin, it carried a one-handed ax that swung continuously, and from his expression, he couldn't wait to eat it alive.

Skills: Livid, Accelerated reproduction, accelerated growth, Digestion, Precocious, Basic ax handling.

He sliced ​​this creature in half with one slash of his sword and without a pause moved on to the next, these creatures couldn't really threaten him or cause him real harm.

In 5 minutes, he slaughtered all the goblins in the third round.

This process was repeated in the fourth and fifth rounds, which also ended relatively easily. In the fourth round he faced eight grade C goblins, who were 1.30 meters tall and wore simple plate armor and had the intelligence of a child of around six to seven years old, it took him six minutes to kill them.

In the fifth round he faced four grade B goblins, who were 1.5 centimeters tall, the height of a short woman, in full armor covering half their body and gleaming steel weapons, it was a bit difficult killing them with his sheer physical strength alone, but he believed it was the right thing to save essence for the moment, as he had the impression that the last two rounds would be different from the others.

As he sliced ​​off the B rank goblin's head, the light shone again, signaling the beginning of the sixth round.

When the light faded again, what he saw left him speechless.
