Chapter 18 Ch 18 : Against The Goblin Lord
The intense, strong pressure came up from the Goblin Lord that made Cade's eyes narrow. He sensed the powerful energy that was agglomerating in the long sword within the Goblin lord's hands.
That was a kind of energy that contained an extremely wild aura, certainly one that came out from a strong monster.
"The Goblin Lord is going to move now…"
Cade narrowed his eyes and slightly knit his brows together as the Goblin Lord had finally going to enter the battle.
He was about to remind Luna to be focused, but when he saw Luna's determined look, it seemed his words were no longer necessary.
As Cade and the Spectre Dullahan made eye contact, the Spectre Dullahan's palm moved slightly, and the bluish flame once again emerged surrounding his body.
The continuous battle had begun to take a toll on his strength and stamina, but he knew that right now was not the moment to hold back.
"ROARR!!!!"
There was the vague sound of an eery, dark, cold shriek from the Goblin lord.
Quickly following this, the sound of a sonic boom enveloped the whole room.
The Goblin Lord had used that chance to close off their distance, and completely different from their expectation, now his target was Cade.
Cade had used some countermeasures to erase his scent and should not be easily tracked by the enemy monster, but it seems this Goblin Lord was an exception.
Cade glanced over, only to realize that the long silver sword was only a few meters away from his neck.
Compared to other normal people, he could be considered stronger. But against such a monster, Cade didn't have the right to delay things.
Without wasting any more time, he had retracted Spectre Dullahan back to his Arcane Card form and resummoned it in front of him, just enough to block the Goblin Lord's attack.
BANGGGG!!!!!!!
The sword on the hand of the Goblin Lord appeared to have turned entirely into a blood-colored eery-looking sword. Bloodlust flashed from the body of the blade, and with just one look and Cade could see the power packed onto it.
When the sword hit Spectre Dullahan's body, it left a gruesome sound.
There was even a big dent on the breastplate part, and if not for the fire that enveloped Spectre Dullahan to block most of the attack, it would still be a question whether Spectre DUllahan would be able to receive this attack.
Chi Chi suddenly rang out from the collision of the two.
Under a countless number of shocked gazes from the examiner room, just after the first attack was blocked, a blood-red color aura that was at least a few meters long was immediately channeled out from the Goblin Lord's sword.
The Blood red aura was like slithering snakes. Its speed was so fast that it could make people unable to react in time.
But fortunately for Cade, just before the second attack was launched, Luna had come to back him up.
With golden light that dazzled everyone, Cade could see golden light flashing through his own eyes, and immediately a deep gully was formed while emitting a *Boom* sound.
The appearance was like a field that was plowed by a bull. After this, he heard a deafening explosion. His gazes hurriedly followed the sound to take a look, only to see that the spot where the explosion occurred was actually in the direction where the Spectre Dullahan and the Goblin Lord were previously standing.
Dust slowly rose and pervaded the spot where the explosion occurred. The figure of Spectre Dullahan was revealed, and even though he was hurt, he was still able to survive the predicament that he was thrown into, while the figure of the Goblin Lord was nowhere to be seen.
" Thank you…" Cade said as he looked at Luna with a grateful expression.
Just now, the situation was way too dangerous for him.
" Don't sweat it. I just do what I need to do to finish this exam. Nonetheless, never let your guard down. The exam was far from finished."
" I know, I'm sorry."
As Cade and Luna exchanged a small conversation, the dust in front of them slowly became thinner. A huge, blood-red sword inserted into the hard ground was first to appear in front of everyone.
The Goblin Lord might have avoided Luna's attack, but he didn't escape unscathed. A big wound opened from his chest to his right leg, and blood came down from it, giving a very bloody looking look.
But what's strange here was the blood didn't fall to the ground but rather was absorbed by the blood-red sword in his hand, making the sword become bigger and ever.
A wild wind suddenly blew, and the dust completely disappeared.
The Goblin Lord, which now seemed like to have entered its second phase, moved once again, but this time Cade and Luna were fully prepared.
Cade's gaze immediately solidified.
"Do you think we would let you do anything you wanted?" The bluish flame around Spectre Dullahan danced slightly. A faint voice was emitted before Spectre Dullahan rushed to collide with the Goblin lord.
The sword carried a blue-colored flame. Although it had yet to come in contact with his body, The Goblin Lord could still sense a burning pain.
The Goblin Lord though, who was in a frenzy could only care less about the pain on his body. Bloody red light once again surged and appeared on his body. With a sway of his body, it was certain that the Goblin Lord was going to engage Spectre Dullahan with even stronger momentum.
However, just as Spectre Dullahan was about to enter the Goblin Lord's attacking range, Luna made her move.
The golden figure flashed again before the Goblin Lord had the time to react to surround it from both sides with the Spectre Dullahan.
Luna's indifferent face once again appeared in front of the Goblin Lord.
Both Luna and Cade took the chance and attacked frenzily. More than ten sword slashes were ruthlessly hammered toward various part of the Goblin Lord. Almost every slashes hit the Goblin Lord while some of them were blocked. For a perios of time, only the sound of the Goblin Lord's misery repeatedly sounded within the room.
