Chapter 20: Martial Skill

Arkol had no right to refuse by now. Seeing the leader of Goblin stood over, with a glance, he knew that this was evolved and strong subhuman Goblin, it was not those little Goblins with less than 10 level that can be encountered in the verge of the forest.

What he didn't know was that this was one of the leaders of the small team that Nia just created, it was up to level 33. Those generally strong humans are no match for it at all. 

Akyol wanted to face it personally, after all, he believed that he was the strongest man in the human faction currently!

Right at this time, Brian quickly raised his hand and stopped him, "General Akyol, don't be hurry, there is no saying that we can't fight it with many men continuously, better fight safely. Let me first examine the depths of its strength for General!"

Akyol felt that this kind of gambling fight should be upright and they should not pick this loophole, but it was about the safety of the princess and everyone! So, he also reluctantly allowed it!

Initially, Brian came into the adventure with confidence and brought over more than his twenty brothers. But today, only he survives alone. 

For others, either scattered or either directly killed. Most of the men who were separated probably would not run away from the fate of death. The mercenary group he once founded personally can be said to be almost eradicated in one day.

The weapons used by Brian and the Goblin leader were all curved short blade. The difference was that Brian wrapped a bandage on the blade handle together with his hand for a few folds, while the Goblin leader had an extra wicked s.h.i.+eld!

Brian first launched the attack. He exerted his strength from his foot, a layer of faint martial energy attached to the short blade and stabbing toward the shoulder of the Goblin leader. 

This was merely just a common tentative attack. But the Goblin leader grinned and used the s.h.i.+eld to block and parried the attack. Followed by a blade slas.h.i.+ng, Brian moved sideways to avoid, and the two separated each other after a few exchanging blows.

"Good brat, eat my sudden strike!" When Brian's foot just landed, he burst forth out of sudden. With a clanking sound, he instantly appeared behind the  Goblin leader, and the edge of the blade had thrust forward. 

This time, Many people present did not see how it happened. Nia found that Brian's fighting strength, which was originally only level 28, had reached the intensity of nearly level 30. This is the benefit of martial skill! It allowed one to be able to challenge beyond the higher level opponent.

"Unfortunately, it is almost!" Brian turned and said to the leader of Goblin.

At this time, the shoulder armor of the Goblin leader only split to a hole! Goblin chuckled, raised the s.h.i.+eld, and hid the blade behind the s.h.i.+eld and attack toward Brian. 

Brian had just used an energy-costly skill, thus he could not endure well. Right now, he was not used to Goblin's strange hidden blade fighting style and kept losing.

In the end, he was beaten to the ground by a heavy attack of Goblin! Brian had to admit defeat! In fact, he consumed too much martial energy in the previous battle, otherwise, he would not have lost in so fast!

Brian stumbled and back to the human side, while the demonic beast side sent a high roar!

Akyol stepped forward to support Brian, who was a little tough in walking.

"You are doing very well, next, just leave it to me!"

"Beware of his hidden blade. if the martial skill is attached to it, his move will be quite terrible!" 

Akyol called Claire to take over Brian, and he went to the Goblin leader!

Kesett also went to the middle and said, "You all can't do it one by one infinitely, at most two more people allowed! Otherwise, you go down, and he comes up again next! I am not going to watch the monkey show for a lifetime here!"

Akyol did not say much about the temporary addition of the rules from Kesett. Anyway, if he lost, is there anyone still able to defeat this Goblin?

He subconsciously looked at Karina and Dina, then shook his head and had a wry smile. "When did I fall to rely on the woman to stay alive!" Afterward, he no longer thought much about it and made his posture.

Akyol was a traditional knight who had practiced support magic. As soon as he came up, he exerted a level 1 Light s.h.i.+eld and level 1 Acceleration Magic to himself. 

Akyol was level 32, by relying on the addition of magic and martial skills, he fought with the Goblin leader to a state of difficulty to resolve.

Dina knew that Uncle Akyol was strong, but the opponent did not fall lower hand with slightest, by relying on tight defense, Akyol could not gain any advantage of him.

Dina at the side was somewhat worried, "Brother Nia, can Uncle Akyol win?"

Nia was entranced in the fight scene. Although in his eyes, their movements were as slow as the broadcast slides, this was a rare opportunity for someone to demonstrate various offensive and defensive skills at such close range!

"It's hard! But that uncle seems to have some trump cards left! He has been looking for a chance to kill with one hit!" Instead, Lusa said it.

Claire, who was looking for an opportunity to talk to Dina, heard Lusa say this, and he said with pride, "Indeed, for the Legion head's trump card, only a few people in the whole kingdom can accomplish it!"

As soon as the end of the words, Akyol found a flaw from Goblin leader, he gathered all his martial energy and thrust nine times in a row. Because of the thrusting speed was so fast, that every three strikes were synthesized to a single strike. It seems to have only a total of three strikes to an average person! It was getting stronger and stronger every time he stroke, to the last blow, it is able to penetrate the wall and crack the stone!!

The Goblin leader did not expect this to be coming in so sudden. He had to block with the s.h.i.+eld and only able to block it for 6 times, the s.h.i.+eld broke open and fell off the ground! 

However, this too earned valuable time for Goblin leader. After feeling the powerful energy of the next coming strike, he also gathered all the martial energy to cut off Akyol's blade!

But just as soon as he came into contact with the sword, Akyol moved a step to the side, and the blade was stabbing straight under the ribs of Goblin. This attack was changed too sudden and too fast, the Goblin leader knew that he couldn't avoid it and had to take a hard blow. Thus, the blade did not stagnate and penetrated the body armor. Half of the blade was inserted into the body.

Goblin's vitality is very tenacious. He held the s.h.i.+eld's handler to stuck Akyol's blade, while another hand with blade reached in front of Akyol. 

Akyol had abandoned his blade and leaned back, but still, there was a long wound left in the chest. Fortunately, it was not deep and did not hurt his crucial point. But it still made him lose his ability to fight!

Goblin caressed the wound and took a few steps back. The blade was still on his body, and he could not stand stably!

Dina quickly stepped forward to help Akyol stop from bleeding. Nia also took the opportunity to yell at Kesett, "Your people have been hurt like this. We can easily win by sending another one, so we don't have to fight anymore, right? (additionally whispered 'scram immediately')".

Without the hesitation, Kesett said, "You can go!" and hurriedly left with the injured Goblin leader!
