CLANK!!

 

Two swords clashed with each other and produced white lighting, surprising the one who was not a goblin, the other one i.e. the goblin didn’t think much of it and continued to attack with its short sword. The other person was visibly confused but didn’t show anything on his face as he knew that everything goes in a dungeon and a single mistake could cost your life.

 

The human blocked the goblin's sword which could have severed his left shoulder and used his leg to kick him in the nuts.

 

KEEEE!!

 

Goblin cried in pain and dropped his sword to attend to his two balls which gave the human exact chance he wanted, he imbued mana to his sword and his legs and with quick steps slashed his head off his body ending the green monster’s life.

“Haah.. haah… hmmm, who would have thought that a mere dozen goblins were enough to push me this much.” He said and drank a stamina potion from his storage ring.

 

“This short sword is not normal, there is no way that a mere goblin could have an elemental weapon on his hand.”

 

“As I thought, it is not a normal weapon.”

 

After grinding on the second floor for the last one hour he had slayed 10 goblins giving him enough exp to level up to the 9th level of Tier 6 meaning that he was just two steps away from breaking through a new realm.

 

KLEEK, KLEEK!!

 

His inner thoughts were disturbed by the voices of more goblin soldiers coming to his direction. Sure they are easy exp but one still has to be careful not to get stabbed by their blades which they coat in deadly poison or allow a goblin mage to attack which could be disastrous if you are a lone wolf in the dungeon.

 

“Ah come on you guys can’t a guy complete his inner monologue? Sorry Hikigaya, I couldn't do it.”

 

With saying that he rushed to the goblin soldiers who were also coming towards him and then a battle ensued. His sword cutting flesh of the green goblins making them cry in agony and getting more angry, it was not like he was not getting hit by their weapons but with the help of RoR he could withstand their attacks without worrying about any injuries.

 

But the RoR was not unlimited and depended on his tier level to corroborate with him, so he knew that this battle needed to be ended quickly or else there could be consequences. At this moment there were four goblin soldiers with blunt swords and a goblin commander which had a better sword and a shield making him twice as strong as the normal one.

 

Under the command of the goblin commander even the soldier’s movement became a little refined and their coordination was quite good making things a little difficult for him to handle.

 

He parried yet another attack and tried to dodge another stabbing moment from behind but was unable to do so and a large cut appeared on the  dorsal side.

 

“Aaahhh…” He seethed in pain from that attack and jumped back to make some space in between them.

 

The RoR was working tirelessly, trying to ease his pain and close his wounds but its speed was not enough making him lose some blood and as a result some strength from his body.

 

“How come you guys are so strong? Aren’t you supposed to be an easy exp?” He asked in a low voice which of course couldn’t be understood by the goblins.

 

But one thing they understood very well was that their prey was weakened and they had only lost two of their members meaning that they still outnumbered him three to one and their core strength in the form of commander was still present.

 

“Life as a side villain is difficult, you don’t have the protagonist’s luck or the main villain's terrifying power, you are supposed to be the stepping stone for either one of them but I don’t do that.” He said and mana began convulsing in his hand which then travelled to his sword making it shine in a blue light.

 

“Well I don’t know if this could work but let's give it a try.” He said a large amount of mana was getting condensed in his other hand. First red hot flames appeared then he poured more mana making the flames even hotter and finally they turned blue.

 

The monsters spawned in the dungeon were not intelligent, the ones on the lower floors were but those on the upper floors like the goblins in front of him were primitive, but the fear of death was equally present in everyone and the commander looked at the blue flames in the prey’s hand and his spine felt a cold chill.

 

One has to know that although fire affinity was quite prevalent in the Origin continent the ones who could use blue flames dubbed as the purest and most powerful flames could be counted on one hand. The amount of intelligence and application one has to put into to change those red flames into blue was difficult hence making the thing a super rare spell.

Akira also imbued the blue flames into his sword and dashed out at the nearest goblin soldier who couldn't understand what was going on and before he could put up his sword to defend his head was chopped off. The other goblins who saw this couldn’t help but shudder, the commander behind them came forward and directly attacked Akira.

 

He dodged his attack as currently due to the overclocking of mana cores his body was getting extra boost making his reaction time, agility, hand eye coordination much better. The blue flames surged in his hand and he threw one fireball towards the goblin commander who put up his shield to defend but how could a mere shield resist the purest and most powerful flames? It was burned to ashes by the blue flames making him flabbergasted.

 

Akira didn’t miss the opportunity and slashed with his sword trying to end the commanders life but he too was a veteran and put his sword to defence which was also imbued by lighting making Akira widen his eyes. In his mind he was thinking just how shitty was his luck? He got to run into two goblins who have elemental swords, how rare is that? One in a million if he remembers the game.

 

Seeing that normal attacks wouldn’t make a dent on this commander’s defence he tried to lure him into a feint and then counter attack but the problem was that RoR was already at it’s limit and with his feeble strength of Tier 6 he was not sure how much longer the ring could hold on. But his conditions didn’t allow him to think that much.

 

In between their attacks and defence Akira slowly and gradually first killed the remaining goblin soldiers with fireball attack and in his exchange with the commander he showed the other party some holes in his defence. The commander who first thought rationally was now under pressure as he had already lost the numbers advantage and his stamina was already running out so he decided to attack in those feints.

 

One of his attacks connected striking the left arm of Akira which gave him a little smirk on his face and made the goblin commander confused in his thoughts, ‘is this hooman intelligence worse than our race? It must be, his left arm is injured and he is smiling’ shaking his head the commander thought to end this little farce but was panicked when he saw a large fireball inching closer and closer to his gut, he wanted to run and get away from this but when his attack was still in motion and in the end he understood the hooman’s means.

 

So he laughed and accepted his defeat making Akira a little shocked thinking that this goblin is surely a knucklehead or has a few screws loose in his big head. He poured all the remaining mana in his body and put that into the large fireball which blasted the goblin commander into small pieces thus ending the long stretched out battle.
