Adam slashed at the goblin beasts head, aiming to take it down in one go, and used most of his speed and power through that strike.
However, the goblin beast was able to quite quickly block the strike and push Adam back with the strength of his arm, while swinging towards Adam's side with his club.
Swiftly moving to the side, Adam dodged the club and the goblin beast didn't continue to strike, knowing that his speed was inferior to that of Adam.
[So it seems that the goblin knows how to fight and is waiting for me to strike, so that it can block and counter. Its speed is alright, strength is good, resistance also seems to be quite good along with its HP, but its Intelligence stat is clearly its weak point] gauged Adam from their single clash.
Staring at the beast's eyes as Adam moved in a circular direction, while the goblin beast did the same, he could see hate and killing intent that was stronger than he had ever seen in the dungeon.
