Chapter 12: Closing The Gate?

"HAHA! Impressive... it seems that the weaker humans are getting stronger, but that's not enough—I will still kill you!" The goblin king laughed as he rushed at me with both swords raised!

My claws clashed with his swords, the sound of metal on the claw resounding as the shockwave sent some goblin knights flying!

"You're strong."

He smiled as he slipped his right foot back, twisting his green hips with a crafty attack, swinging his swords and cutting into my chest and shoulder.

However, I just laughed as the wounds healed in seconds and smashed the bastard with a fierce headbutt, my eyes gazing as Kana tore the head of the second deformed goblin clean off—her eyes were filled with a euphoric glow as she looked towards the goblin king and me.

I couldn't let her outshine me, right? Her speed was about equal to mine, but her strength was lower. I was sure she could probably beat me in our normal forms now...
