Surviving the Apocalypse While Being Tempted by an Elf and a Dark Elf

Chapter 165: Overlord (7)



Chapter 165: Overlord (7)

              When Luke attacked, one of the flying swords got on his way. Dodging that speed was impossible. He could only attack without giving the opponent a chance to counterattack because he was moving in a straight line and was only scratching the enemy with the tip of his sword. Still, the projectile never hit Luke. Shalia fired an Ice Bullet and stopped the ice sword from hitting Luke, and once again, he sliced a bit of the enemy's wrist.

            Luke wasn't an opponent that the goblin lord could take with half-assed tactics. Still, Richter dashed and tried to cut his neck before he could properly attack him. The flying swords sliced off his chest… they would have if his black armor weren't in the way. Richter's sword almost pierced the goblin's neck. Still, the creature grabbed the Blade with his bare left hand and prepared to kick Richter, who didn't want to let his weapon go, but then the enemy stopped when he felt bloodlust again coming from his back. In the next moment, Luke's sword almost pierced the nape of the boss, but the creature lowered its posture and made him miss.

            Luke didn't stop there. He swung his sword downward and used Sonic Blade. The goblin lord turned around without any other choice by letting Richter go and tried to cut both of them with spin Slash, but they jumped backward and dodged.

"Don't let him hold your sword that easily… dumbass," Luke said. "Are your hands made out of jelly or something?"

"What did you say? Asshole!" Richter glared at Luke.

            While they were working together, they sure needed to improve their teamwork. Nevertheless, Luke didn't let that argument last for long. He couldn't let the effects of Heavy Strike disappear. That was right, it was barely noticeable, but the wounds on the enemy's wrist were increasing in size since his endurance was decreasing. It was a pity that the skill didn't decrease the max health of the enemy, but that would be too much, as expected.

            After several repetitions, the goblin lord realized that Luke was only attacking when the enemy wasn't paying attention to him. That way, he would be able to attack and position himself behind the enemy or behind Richter. Attacking him like that would mean that the goblin lord would either have to turn around and expose his back to Richter or attack him first, leaving himself wide open for a single moment. Not to mention, he also realized that Luke's strikes were getting sharper, even though his moves weren't changing even a single bit.

"Heavy Strike…" The goblin lord muttered. "A silly plan… but what would you expect from a weak race of bugs?"

"Wow… he talks," Luke said. "This freaky show is getting more interesting by the minute."

            Richter was left with his mouth hanging… Luke's plans were working pretty well until now. It even made the enemy talk with them, something that had never happened before, but now that he knew what was going on, the chances of working were close to.

"Your planet will be my new base until I obtain absolute power, and there is nothing you can do to stop me," the goblin lord said.

"Oh, yeah? And who decided that?" Luke said and then used Stinger.

              Luke approached as fast as lightning, but the creature still stopped his attack with his bare hand. He suffered some damage since he had to stop the full momentum of the strike, so his hand was cut quite deeply, but not deeply enough.

"Do you see now?" The goblin lord asked.

"Yes, I see… I see that you don't want to use this hand anymore," Luke said and then used Sonic Blade.

            The next attack made the area between them explode. It was probably because Rina buffed Luke's strength to the limits in that single moment. While that made him suffer some damage. It had been worth the hassle… the goblin lord lost half of its left hand, and he was bleeding deeply thanks to that. He knew that Luke had been using Heavy Strike to decrease his defenses, but he never thought that the effects had stacked that much. 

              In the next moment, Richter tried to attack the goblin lord's back, but the creature turned around fast enough to block the strike. Even with a single hand, he could do that much while holding his sword. The beast spun his body and tried to kick Luke and Richter, but in the end, that wasn't his goal… he just forced those two to move away from him, and then he enveloped his left arm in an ice glove.

"While that will be a bit costly to his body, he can recover his hand in five minutes," Rina said.

              Luke opened his eyes widely when he heard that. He sure had some wounds healed thanks to Focus, but he never thought that it could do that much. Luke looked at Richter and then tried to pass the message, he didn't know if he had understood it, but he nodded anyway. Luke dashed toward the enemy, and then the goblin lord swung its sword with devilish speed. To the point where Luke, Rina, and Shalia felt shivers. He didn't stop his charge, though, but he used his sword to block the strike. However, before he was sent flying to the distance, he fired a Spark Ball on the monster's face. Some smoke left the goblin lord's face, and Richter used that moment to attack the back of his head. The Goblin Lord tried to do the same with him, but then he felt some blood lust coming from his side, he couldn't see Luke, but he could tell that he had recovered a lot faster than expected. In the end, he just fired some Ice Arrows toward that direction and continued with his plan to split Richter in half.. However, he stopped when he felt a sharp pain on his nape.
