31. Killing The Goblin Boss 1

When has he ever felt so much pain, anger and humiliation?

Perhaps the closest to that would have been when he fought his progenitor or when he fought a creature much stronger than him before that. But at those times he hadn't felt the sense of humiliation, but now he did, he lost an eye against a clearly weaker creature and his strength, however pathetic they were, fell quickly around him, he even lost 2 descendants. How much had he invested in them all this time? All for nothing?!

All because of this young human with brown and orange hair, who his only female decent wanted to raise her own decent, before he had guaranteed he would give it to her later, but now?!

She would have to choose another one, because he would chew the bones of this miserable pest while he screamed!!!

Taking the knife out of his eye with a grunt of pain, he threw it back at the human who easily dodged it, but soon he was on top of him channeling the strength that his progenitor used before for another attack, again he was avoided by the human. But that wasn't the real attack, taking a stone knife from his belt he threw it at the same time he advanced, forcing the human to go to the right, right where his fist was already heading quickly towards his face.

As soon as he felt the soft flesh hit his fist, he prepared to deliver the last blow to the body that lightly left the ground. If he hadn't felt a sting in his arm that soon turned into a burning session, when he looked he noticed that the human's arm was stretched out with one of the hard branches cutting into his forearm. This made him momentarily freeze, his skin was thick and he had already endured several of these things but not this time, now a single one of those branches had cut him so easily?! and the sensation still spread?

It was then that he realized that the despicable human had placed poison on the tip of the branch, a poison that burned him. He was so angry about this that he wanted to slice it even more, but the moment to do so had already passed and soon the human was once again standing with one of the branches in front of him and sending it with force and speed towards him.

At this distance, not even your fur would be able to prevent a considerable injury, especially if that branch also had poison. He then dodged to the right and to make it even a little more difficult for the human, when he did so he picked up a handful of dirt and threw it towards him. Which made him stagger back and try to get the dirt out of his eyes, giving him enough time to make a new strategy.

As soon as the human recovered, instead of attacking quickly and blindly like before he decided that he would torment him a little, positioning himself in the direction that led deeper into the human settlement and blocking the view he had of what was behind. He prepared a new long-range attack, aiming not at the human with the branches, but at the several with long sticks behind.

He realized the idea and soon sent a branch at his other eye which he easily repelled with his sword. Different from what he expected then, instead of attacking with the last branch, he charged head on with the thing he used to throw them, unexpected, but it didn't matter, his strategy wouldn't change.

When he was close enough, instead of launching the attack or using his sword he kicked the human in the chin causing his body to arch backwards again, followed immediately by a punch to the stomach that redirected him to one of the wooden shelters of the human. accommodation, a house like the Master had told before.

As soon as he hit the wall, his fragile and soft body even made a hole in the wall, forcing him to spit out blood and immediately knocking him out. It was a shame that he had passed out, so he didn't see the look of terror that was approaching, that was another of his amusements, but it didn't matter as soon as he started eating he would wake up and he would be able to see that look.

Wiping the saliva from his mouth as he lazily approached, the only question in his mind was. Which part should he start with?

************

'Is this what mine faced during her missions?' Hannah quickly wondered this as she dealt with yet another goblin that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

After Ivan was sent back and still hadn't recovered, things got worse for them, not only did the goblins gain initiative due to their leader joining the fight, but more seemed to appear out of nowhere. Fortunately the slingshot goblin could not return to his boar, the few spearmen standing managed to take him down but he commanded the other goblins well against them, forcing the small group battle to a stalemate.

Hannah even wanted to go help them but she knew there wasn't much she could do, the goblin also considered her a threat and was ready if she got involved, other than that they still had to deal with the monstrous goblin and his mount that was still attacking the squad. of lanceros on the left side. Hannah decided to trust the lancers who helped her and focused on eliminating the goblins that tried to get through, as well as going to help Matt and Ivan against the giant goblin.

But it seems she decided to act a little late.

*Boom*

"Gaaarrrhhh*

Hannah only had time to see a blur ahead (or behind depending on where she looked) and in the next instant Matt was stretched out in a hole in the wall, with the giant goblin approaching. Before Hannah could move to help, another helping hand came from an unexpected place.

"Ggaggrrroo drizzle gggar bbaurhgg!!!"

The goblin with the sling (or rather the goblin with the shield now), started shouting and signaling with his hands to the giant goblin.

"Ggrrooogggfhhh hhhorgrgaahh grooonmm"

Who in turn seemed to respond indifferently, even mockingly, signaled towards her and walked towards Matt again, Hannah froze for a few precious seconds waiting for an attack not to come. She thought they were arguing over who would get the first piece of Matt or something. Instead, when he looked at the goblin behind, he couldn't believe he saw him with a stone ready to throw, but he wasn't looking at her but at the giant goblin.

But again before anyone could do anything, whether the giant goblin got closer to the fallen young man, Hannah got closer to stop him or the goblin with the shield could possibly betray his leader.

*Thrum* *Boom*

Another bolt of lightning fell from the clear sky onto the giant goblin again. This time Hannah was not frozen with astonishment and fascination and took advantage of the paralysis that the lightning caused and gave the giant goblin several cuts. When she realized that the paralysis time was about to end, she retreated and prepared herself for the counterattack. Which came in the form of another flying slash.

Instead of dodging as everyone had done so far, Hannah planted her feet and used her sword to redirect the blow, after all, if she got out of the way, the blow would reach the lanceros still standing, as well as the wounded who took shelter in the house ahead. With great difficulty but with incredible command of both the sword and the body for someone so young, she managed to redirect the blow to one of the houses that was already almost collapsing due to the blows it had already received.

But this ended up causing her to open a large gap in her form, which the giant goblin didn't take long to use and with his sword (which looked more like a giant kitchen knife) he made a dangerous cut diagonally from bottom to top, aiming right at Hannah's waist. In a not-at-all-graceful way, she managed to dodge, albeit barely, but still received a nice cut from the pelvis to the lowest rib.

Even if the cut wasn't deep it was still uncomfortable and the slightest discomfort in a fight could very well mean death. This advantage was greater for Hannah, after all her opponent had a large blind spot thanks to the lack of an eye and hearing that was not entirely reliable due to the injury that Matt had also suffered.

It was obvious that he also knew this and it was also obvious that this irritated him even more, seeming to throw any strategy out of combat he attacked Hannah with a fierce onslaught of strong and fast attacks but without any dexterity or technique. Something that Hannah used to counterattack, but even though she had more command over the sword and a better technique, she was still a young woman of 17 years old against an opponent almost 3 heads bigger than her with much more strength and speed.

The fight itself didn't last long, perhaps a maximum of 30 seconds of intense exchanges of blows, but in the fight of technique versus brute strength, strength ended up selling it, albeit barely.

Hannah didn't leave with serious cuts but several superficial cuts and a dislocated shoulder when she defended the goblin's last attack. In turn, the giant goblin was also not doing very well, even with most of its body protected by a mixture of iron and stone armor, Hannah's attacks using the sword given by a God managed to break the stones and chip several parts of the body. metal, giving chances to give several ugly but also non-lethal cuts to the opponent.

As expected from a fierce fight, both were tired even though the fight had only been short, and their weapons and armor were already pretty bad. At least from the giant goblin, because Hannah's sword didn't even lose its edge, unlike the goblin's "sword". Both were tired with the exchange of blows but they knew they couldn't stop now, with Hannah's keen hearing she heard the sound that could change this situation.

And this time the tide could turn for humans for good.
