Chapter 338: Creating Another Summo[1]

"ROAR!"

The new monster was none other than the Nether Eye White Tiger.

Boom!

Its enormous paw slammed downward, directly sending a fleeing goblin warrior flying, while Nadia appeared beside the White Tiger immediately afterward. The silver dagger in her hand swiftly slashed across another goblin’s arm before she raised her leg and kicked it viciously back into the chaotic crowd!

"Roar!"

The Silverback Ape had already crossed the shattered fence. Its massive arms swept horizontally, sending several goblin warriors attempting to regroup behind their shields flying!

For a moment, the entire street descended into complete chaos!

Despite possessing an overwhelming numerical advantage, the goblin army had been scattered into disarray by more than a dozen rampaging gray-skinned Tuskbeasts. Their shield formation had been completely smashed apart, and with the Nether Eye White Tiger and Silverback Ape continuously attacking from the flanks, the goblins could barely organize any effective resistance!

However, the Goblin Blood-Curse Shaman clearly had not given up.

It retreated along the earthen wall it had just summoned, continuously releasing shrill cries in an attempt to rally the nearby warriors.

"Gah! Garu!!"

Soon, several goblins wearing metal armor rushed out of the chaotic crowd and quickly gathered around it, protecting the shaman in their center.

Seeing this, the Blood-Curse Shaman finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It then raised its bone staff once again.

As long as it could restore the Blood-Curse enhancement, once these rampaging magical beasts had charged past, the remaining goblin warriors could still rely on their numerical advantage to completely surround those two humans!

However, what it did not know was that while it was busy reorganizing its troops, a slender, dark-yellow figure had already used the rising dust to silently circle around behind it!

Blood Leech!

Zich had secretly dispatched it before the battle even began.

And now, with the shield formation collapsing and every goblin’s attention drawn toward the rampaging gray-skinned Tuskbeasts, Blood Leech had finally found an opportunity to approach its target!

"Garu..."

The Blood-Curse Shaman had just raised its bone staff and was preparing to resume chanting.

Suddenly, it seemed to sense something approaching from behind, but before it could turn around, a hand covered in dark-yellow carapace suddenly reached out from behind and firmly seized the wrist holding its bone staff!

"Gah?!"

The Blood-Curse Shaman’s expression changed drastically!

The next moment, a sharp mouthpart suddenly stabbed down from the side!

Squelch!

"GAAAH!!"

A miserable scream abruptly rang out!

The bone staff in the Blood-Curse Shaman’s hand was immediately knocked sideways, interrupting the spell it had been about to complete. Meanwhile, the layer of dark-red light surrounding its body suddenly expanded violently in response to its fury, clearly indicating that it intended to forcibly blast away the monster that had ambushed it!

At that moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded from nearby.

"Spirit Exchange."

Buzz!

The dark-yellow figure that had been firmly gripping the Blood-Curse Shaman’s wrist vanished without warning!

In its place appeared Zich, with Frostgrave already within striking distance!

"Gah?!"

The Blood-Curse Shaman’s pupils contracted sharply!

However, it no longer had any time to react!

Swish!

Frostgrave swept out horizontally!

Crack!

The bone staff it had hastily raised snapped instantly, while the beast-bone ornaments hanging across its chest shattered one after another beneath the sharp scythe blade!

Squelch!

Blood splattered as the icy blade tore directly through the Blood-Curse Shaman’s body, while the soul flames attached to its edge surged madly into the wound, causing the rapidly expanding dark-red mana within its body to dim almost immediately!

"Gah..."

The Blood-Curse Shaman’s body abruptly stiffened and then collapsed helplessly to the ground, completely losing all signs of life.

[Ding!]

[You have successfully killed a Goblin Blood-Curse Shaman!]

As the system notification sounded, a soul orb noticeably denser than those produced by ordinary goblins slowly rose from the corpse before entering Zich’s body and condensing into a new tombstone within the graveyard.

Just as the Blood-Curse Shaman collapsed, a small grayish-white object fell from its chest.

"Hmm?"

Zich’s eyes flashed as he casually caught it.

It was a pendant made from grayish-white beast bone, with several ancient patterns carved across its surface. Although it appeared unremarkable, it faintly emitted traces of mana fluctuations.

However, now was clearly not the time to examine it carefully because the heavily armored goblins responsible for protecting the Blood-Curse Shaman had already noticed something was wrong!

"Gagaga!!"

Several goblin warriors turned around, swinging their weapons toward Zich!

But Zich merely smiled coldly.

"Blood Arc!"

Boom!

A scarlet crescent-shaped slash suddenly erupted from Frostgrave!

The heavily armored goblins that had just turned around were struck head-on by the blood-colored arc before they could even fully raise their shields, their bodies flying backward one after another!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zich immediately stepped over the corpse on the ground and charged toward another Goblin Shaman!

On another part of the battlefield...

"Roar!"

Under Nadia’s command, the Nether Eye White Tiger had already pounced on that shaman. Its enormous paw pressed firmly against the bone staff in the shaman’s hand, preventing it from casting spells properly!

"Gaaah!"

The Goblin Shaman struggled desperately but could not escape the White Tiger’s suppression.

While it was held down, Zich rushed in from the side!

Frostgrave flashed across the shaman’s exposed neck, cutting off its desperate cries before it could complete another spell.

The second Goblin Shaman collapsed beneath the White Tiger’s paw!

Without even stopping, Zich turned his head and locked onto the final shaman.

That Goblin Shaman had clearly been terrified by the scene unfolding before it.

Seeing its two companions killed one after another, it actually threw away its bone staff, turned around, and fled into the distance!

"Trying to run?"

The corners of Zich’s mouth curled upward slightly.

However, before he could personally give chase, an enormous dark shadow suddenly came flying from the side!

Whoosh!

It was actually a broken section of wooden fencing several meters long!

At some point, the Silverback Ape had picked up a piece of nearby wreckage and hurled it toward the fleeing Goblin Shaman!

Bang!

The heavy wooden fence slammed viciously into the shaman’s back!

"GAAAH!!"

The Goblin Shaman released a scream and fell face-first onto the ground, desperately scrambling with its hands and feet in an attempt to get back up.

Before it could regain its footing, Zich had already arrived before it.

The fleeing shaman raised one trembling arm, but Frostgrave swept past without hesitation, its icy blade cutting through the creature’s neck and ending its life on the spot.

With this, all three Goblin Shamans had been killed!

And following the death of the Blood-Curse Shaman, the dark-red glow previously surrounding large numbers of goblin warriors began dissipating.

Without the support of the Blood-Curse enhancement, the momentum of the goblins that had previously been charging frantically immediately weakened considerably.

More importantly, with all three shamans responsible for commanding them dead, the goblins had completely lost their ability to reorganize their scattered forces.
