Chapter 65 - Round Three??
[+2.8 HP]
"Sh*t that was close..." Alex mumbled as she gazed at her health going up.
[20/300] If she stayed there a little longer, her life would have ended on their hands.
"ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU IDIOTS!"
"WHY CAN'T YOU ALL KILL A SINGLE WOMAN!!!!!"
He was so sure that the woman was close to dying. He felt her life force dwindling as she got closer and closer to her companion. Yet, the elite goblins weren't able to get the job done.
Now the woman's life force is starting to restore to normal as she reunites with her companion.
"KILL HER ALREADY!!!"
"DIEE!!!" A fireball flew across the battlefield.
"DIEEEE!!!" A huge chunk of ice followed.
"DIEEEEEEEE!!!!" The goblin shaman went crazy as he used his two hands to throw all kinds of magic at her one after the other. He wanted her to die, that he now resorted to using the dual casting technique.
He doesn't want to use this technique as it uses all of his concentration to use it. And it makes him incapable of commanding his army. But she doesn't kill this woman he will lose his life and all of the goblins affected by the forbidden magic will die.
"Crazy bastard..." Alex sidestepped as she dodged the magic thrown at her. She felt that the magic thrown at her started to get faster and faster. Alex prioritized dodging for now as she must not take any more damage until Ezekiel fully healed her up.
When she looked in the direction of where the magic came from. She saw the goblin shaman not even bothering at commanding his army at all.
"Idiot," Alex smirked. The goblin shaman is just asking to lose. An army without a commander in a war will move aimlessly. The army won't be able to react to critical situations. And will result in them losing the war.
"These guys aren't messing around at all." Ezekiel exclaimed as he blocked a hammer coming at him. He then used his staff to push the hobgoblin away from him.
"Emerge!!" A red flask appeared on Ezekiel's hand.
"Take this!!" Ezekiel threw the health potion at her. He needs to make sure Alex survives, or else it will be the end of him.
Alex kicked the abdomen of a hobgoblin as she caught the healing potion.
"Thanks." Alex immediately drank the potion.
"Hide this!!" Ezekiel threw another health potion at her.
"Use it for an emergency. And don't go too far!" Ezekiel reminded the hard headed Alex. There are still a lot of red-skinned hobgoblins around them. And her health is still not good enough for her to run around the battlefield alone.
"Store!!" Alex caught the potion and hid it in her inventory.
"Round three??" Alex grinned, now that her health is good to go, she can go all out on the offensive once more.
"Hayst..." Ezekiel sighed at her as if he regreted giving her the healing potion.
Alex stared at the heinous face before her. The hobgoblin's eyes shone even more fiercely at her as they stared back.
"Hufff!!" Alex stepped back first and took some deep breaths. The dual ax in her hands shook as she clenched it harder. She needs to find a better rhythm. And maintain the flow to shake the enemy's flow.
Hobgoblins are simple and only know about pushing with brute force. She needs to overwhelm them using her techniques.
Alex gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on her dual ax. She kept her left shoulder down and struck using her right.
She confused her enemies. Then used attacks on their blindspots that couldn't be disrupted. With this, she will hit her enemy three to four times.
Hobgoblins with large weapons like great ax, hammers, or greatswords was an annoying obstacle for her. If she tried to stab through the gaps, her attacks would be blocked by their large weapons.
"Faster, faster, faster!!" Alex stomped her feet once, twice, and thrice. As her body gradually accelerated beyond the limits of her current body.
She pierced through, cut, and smashed her enemies. Alex arrived in a world that never stopped moving. She felt like she was all alone as she moved into it.
Her movements became unmatched. While the pair of axes flashed towards the neck of her enemies.
She used the dual ax like it was another limb and would cut her enemy's neck before they even realized they died.
All kinds of weapons hacked at her armor several times as she repeatedly came closer and closer to death. But there is a slight smile on Alex's focused face. Adrenaline filled her body like a drug.
"MONSTER!!" The goblin shaman exclaimed as he doubted who is the real monster between them. Her movements were so fast and complicated it was so hard to follow with his eyes. It was still in vain, even if he used dual casting.
"WHY IS THIS MONSTER HERE!!!"
"FIRE THOSE ARROWS!!"
"I DON'T CARE IF THE ELITE GOBLINS ARE IN THERE!!!"
"SHE MUST DIE!!!"
"DIEEE!!!!!
"DIEEEEE!!!!"
"DIEEEEEEEE ALREADY!!!"
"ENHANCE ARROW!!"
"POISON!!"
"ACCURACY UP!!" The goblin shaman added all kinds of buffs on the goblin archers. To make sure that the woman dies.
"FIREBALL!!"
"ICE SHARD!!" He also casted his own magic at her.
Arrows flew in a straight line towards Alex, and the rest flooding towards Ezekiel. It was fired indiscriminately without thinking about its allies.
Alex turned her body like a spin top and struck the arrows aimed at her in all directions with her dual ax. The hobgoblins did not miss the opportunity that was exposed. The hobgoblin's sword and axes descended towards Alex.
Alex crossed her dual ax and blocked the strike. However, her posture was unstable that made her stagger. The attacks keep coming to her.
"Tsk," Alex gritted her teeth as she sloppily moved to the side and evaded a hammer. The hobgoblins continued to pursue her. The tide was gradually shifting towards the hobgoblins.
"FIRE!!"
"FIRE!!"
"KEEP FIRING!!" The goblin shaman saw this and ordered the goblin archers to fire again. The goblin archers pulled their bowstring as they fired at her once more.
The goblin archers pushed her on the defensive. While the hobgoblins focused on the offensive. However, at that moment, Ezekiel stood in front of her and rotated his staff.
"I told you to take care of yourself!!"
