18 - Final Wave & Powerful Goblins

"Why is it that you have stupid luck?" Victor asked as he placed his right hand on his face and shook his head in pure expiration at how unfair it all was.

"That's because I've rubbed luck off of the first genius of the human race." Michael said with a proud face.

"First genius?" Victor asked back.

"Yeah, Victor Wise the child genius who easily got full marks on everything in every year. The genius who could pick up any skill easily, oh and let's not fail to mention your insane intellect and calmness not befitting your age, hell even Father said your more talented than the Star Summoner." Michael bragged like he was speaking about himself.

Victor gave him a glance before throwing another energy bar from his backpack at him to keep him quiet.

The next few waves passed easily as Michael and the Skeleton Wolf each killed a Goblin after they were held down by the Skeletons.

It wasn't long before the fifth wave of Ambush Goblins were killed and as expected a new type of goblin Monster was summoned.

[ Goblin Warrior (Elite) - Lvl 5 ]

[ Goblin Warrior (Elite) - Lvl 5 ]

This time it was very different from the previous goblins but this didn't inspire happiness or relief but instead caused both Victor and Michael to become serious as these wasn't any plain old Goblins no they were Goblin Warriors.

The Biggest difference at first glance between these two Goblins and all the rest the two fought before was their weapons and armor

Instead of having poorly made weapons or old second hand broken weapons they had actual proper weapons in a some what good shape, still sharp and strong ready to kill.

Goblin Warriors also had some armor made of different pieces of armor that has been sewn together with obvious large stitches, creating a ugly and weird leather and metal mess that perfectly matched their owners ugly appearance.

But this wasn't the reason for both Victor and Michael to stand up and get ready for battle, no it was because of the fighting ability of Goblin Warriors.

Unlike Ambush Goblins who ambushed their enemies, Goblin Warriors fight completely differently as they fight head on and have actual fighting technique and skill making them much more dangerous especially to newbies and even experienced fighters have died to them.

So even though both Victor and Michael could win this fight they still needed to take both Goblin Warriors seriously but then something happened that made everything even worse.

A second Magic Circle appeared behind the two Goblin Warriors causing both Victor and Michael serious faces too change and freeze at the third Goblin that appeared.

A hunched back Goblin wearing a red and black torn dirty robe, the Goblin's hands sticking out of the robe were boney and had long yellow nails on each of it's gross boney fingers.

In it's right hand was a dried wooden staff with a small red crystal core held in place by the staff at the top.

[ Goblin Shaman (Rare) - Lvl 5 ]

The Goblins had a magic caster and this completely changed everything, this caused both Victor and Michael to immediately get into formation as all Victor's summons came back and stood next to Michael.

If they both had to take the two Goblin Warriors seriously then now they have to fight for their lives.

As not only are they outnumbered but all of the two's opponents are intelligent and can work together increasing the Goblin's strength by many times.

Before their plan was to kite one of the Goblin Warriors while focusing on the other killing it quickly with their joint effort but now it has become essentially a situation of if Michael can hold on long enough for Victor to either kill the Shaman or for them to kill the two Goblin Warriors first.

This fight will be completely different from all the other battles the two of them has fought so far as all of Victor's undead will be almost completely useless.

As the Goblin Warriors will not only have the skill but the strength to kill all his summons in a single attack not to mention the Shaman who will have offensive spells.

Up to this point the reason why all his undead easily won all of their battles was completely because of Victor's tactics and that all of their opponents so far were extremely weak and most importantly stupid.

So now all of Victor's undead were essentially useless, meaning that Michael will have to bare most of the pressure as he will be fighting two enemies at once.

"God damnit, why did it have to be a stupid Magic Caster no offense or anything." Michael said as he stared down the two Goblin Warriors in front of him.

"You hold off the two Warriors, I'll do my best to kill or hold off that Shaman for as long as possible, and let's hope it doesn't have many spells." Victor spoke as he readied for the fight.

< Undeath Flame >

On Victor's staff appeared his spell but he held it waiting for the Goblin Shaman to start casting a spell first, hoping to interrupt it.

The Goblin Shaman being smart enough to know this didn't do anything and just watched Victor waiting for Victor's spell to be used or dissipate.

This created a dead lock between Victor and the Goblin, effectively taking them both out of the fight.

Unfortunately for Michael he wouldn't be getting any help from Victor or much from Victor's Summons either.

As Victor had to concentrate on maintaining his spell so he couldn't order his summons so essentially his Skeletons became useless while the skeleton Wolf isn't strong enough to make any difference.

So Victor and Michael, especially Michael had become outnumbered leaving Victor disappointed in his current arsenal of spells and abilities.

"Ahh come on you ugly sons of B**chs!" Michael yelled as the two Goblin Warriors approached.

Readying his shield and tightening his grip, Michael struck first.

< Death Slash >

Not holding anything back Michael used his aggressiveness to take the advantage allowing his attack to hit true on the surprised Goblin.

"Screech!!!!" The Goblin tried to block with it's weapon but failed as it's left hand was slashed off.

The Goblin screamed in pain as it slashed back in anger with it's sword but the pain of losing it's left hand proved to be to much as the injured Goblin's attack didn't have much strength.

However before Michael could take this opportunity the other Goblin Warrior attacked forcing Michael to block.

The force of the Goblin's strike against his shield pushed him back and caused his whole left arm and hand shake in pain as his joints screamed in pain.

"Damn their strong!" Michael said as he didn't have any time to breathe as the Goblin continued to follow up and attack.

"Humph, just try it" Michael said as used his shield to bashed down the sword that stabbed at him.

The sword went straight down as Michael pushed it down, then he slid his shield up the length of the sword before slamming it into the Goblin's face.

"Gotcha, NOW DIE!" Using this chance Michael went for the kill but stopped when the sound of a Goblin screaming in pain came from behind him.

Knowing that he was in danger Michael backed off as he put both Goblins back into his sights.

Now he could see why the he was in danger as the injured Goblin was behind him but was stopped by Victor at the last second.

But before Michael could breathe out a sigh of relief and get back into the fight, he felt a approaching heat.

A red and orange ball of flames shot over at him, Michael's eyes widened as the fire spell drew closer and closer as his instincts screamed danger.

"Boom!" At the last second Michael was pushed out of the way by the Skeleton Wolf who took the attack head on in his place.

The Wolf was disintegrated almost instantly as a wave of heat and fire traveled from the explosion.

The uninjured Goblin used this chance to attack but before the blade could connect, it was interrupted by the Goblin getting hit by a Undeath Flame which caused it to scream and lose focus in pain allowing Michael to get up and counter attack.

Slashing his sword up but Michael's fatal attack was dodged by a hair but the blade still slashed the Goblin's face, from it's chin all the way up it's face blinding the Goblin's right eye.

However before Michael could continue he stopped and backed off as he heard of he sound of someone speaking gibberish.

"Gigber gisrisa gibmasy..." The Goblin Shaman started to cast one spell after another.

First a light purple transparent bubble appeared around the Goblin Shaman, which caused Victor's face to darken at seeing this as now that the Shaman had protection against him.

This made it so Victor couldn't interrupt the Shaman's spell casting and cause a backlash to the Shaman, effectively making it impossible for Victor to keep the Shaman out of the fight.

But the Shaman wasn't done yet as it kept casting different spells.

"God damnit!" Michael yelled as dark green vines came out of the ground and tired up his feet.

Seeing this chance both Goblin Warriors went into a frenzy and attacked with hatred in their eyes.

Michael's face was full of despair as the two Goblins jumped at him.

"No don't kill me! Just kidding." Michael's face changed from one of fear to one without any emotion as he brought his sword over to his left side.

< Death Fortitude >

< Death Slash >

Bright light blue flames appeared on his feet that burned away the vines allowing him to move.

Taking advantage of the surprised Goblins Michael slashed horizontally cutting off both Goblin Warriors heads in a single slash.

[ Goblin Warrior (Lvl 5) Killed + 50 Trial Point ]

[ Soul Absorbed + 0.25 ]

[ Goblin Warrior (Lvl 5) Killed + 50 Trial Point ]

[ Soul Absorbed + 0.25 ]

"Finally!" Michael celebrated as he stretched his sore arm and joints.

"We're not done yet." Victor said as he walked over to stand next to Michael never looking away from the Goblin Shaman.

On the other hand the Goblin Shaman started to panic at the death of it's two guards, it took steps backwards as it started to chant more defensive spells.

"Alright let's kill it." Michael spoke as he started to walk towards the Shaman but just after taking his fifth step a new Magic Circle appeared in front of the Shaman.

"Ahh sh*t man." Michael swore as five Goblins appeared in front of the Shaman.

[ Goblin (Normal) - Lvl 5 ]

[ Goblin (Normal) - Lvl 5 ]

[ Goblin (Normal) - Lvl 5 ]

[ Goblin (Normal) - Lvl 5 ]

[ Goblin (Normal) - Lvl 5 ]

The Shaman's ugly disgusting face instantly changed to one of gross glee as confidence reignited in it's eyes.

"Oh? It's just normal Goblins?" Michael's face changed to one of relief then a evil smile as he spoke like he was the bad guy.

"Hey Victor, why don't you show that ugly Bastard what your Summons can do?" The words oozed out of his mouth like he was the demon king and you could have sworn that a pair of small red horns had grown on his head.

"Heh what a good idea." The right side of Victor's mouth went up slightly showing off a light smile on his cold handsome face as he agreed.

Using almost the rest of his Mana Victor summoned a new Skeleton Wolf before controlling his Skeletons to attack the newly appeared Goblins.
