Chương 38: Against The Champion
The Goblin contender, got down from the podium and went back into the ring through the hole he had made.
When his feet got to the floor, he immediately went after the Goblin champion.
{Ding}
{A Goblin has been registered as an enemy, cannibalism skill activated}.
The Goblin champion, raised his Spear and used it to tank the Goblin contender's fist.
The Goblin champion, swung his Spear in a circled form.
the bladed part being on the ground, he used the bottom part of the Spear to attack the head of the Goblin contender.
The Goblin contender used his two hands to cover his head, at the same time blocking the Spear.
With his two hands occupied by the spear's bottom part, the Goblin champion took advantage of it and attacked the lower body of the Goblin contender with the bladed part of the sword.
The Goblin contender reacted by using his skill, Thorn erector.
From the floor of where the bladed Spear was going to go through, the Goblin contender sprouted out a thorn and used it to halt the Spear's movement.
The two Goblins, moved away from each other and created some distance between them.
The Goblin contender, once again attacked first, but this time with a long range attack.
He used his thorn erection skill, to sprout out a thorn on the floor the Goblin champion was standing on.
The Goblin champion's reaction speed was immediate, as he jumps off of the floor before the thorn could get to him.
While in midair, the Goblin champion, aimed his Spear at the head of the Goblin contender.
He hurled the Spear with an intense force that caught the Goblin contender unaware.
Thanks to his detection ability, the Goblin contender's body was able to react faster than his brain could process.
His body hastily evaded the Spear by only tilting his head to the left.
The Goblin champion, took advantage of the distraction caused by the Spear.
Like a slingshot, he propelled himself towards the Goblin contender who is still occupied with trying to dodge the Spear.
The Goblin champion, made a direct hit with his fist, connecting it to the stomach of the Goblin contender.
The Goblin contender crouched down to cover his stomach from any further attacks, but the next attack wasn't aimed there.
The Goblin champion left his stomach and instead went for his head.
He flips himself up, rolled his legs and used his left leg to land a mighty kick at the head of the Goblin contender.
The contender raised his left hand and guarded against the kick.
They stood stagnant in their current pose and clicked eyes.
"what is this we are seeing my dear viewers?, it seems the two contestants are equal in ability"
"both trying different tactics and only end up countering each other".
"what a great pair they make".
"and the battle carries on with even more intensity and bloodlust involved".
The Goblin champion, withdrew his leg and instead took a hold of the Spear that was stuck on the wall beside the Goblin contender.
He grabbed the Spear with his hand and thrusted it at the Goblin contender.
The Goblin contender, dodged the Spear by jumping over it, and also managing to pull off a counterattack with thorn sprouting from his palm and aiming towards the Goblin champion.
The Goblin champion saw the thorn and retreated backwards.
They are now once again at a distance from each other with both entering a stallmate observation process.
This is the first time the Goblin contender has ever come across with an opponent like this.
Usually, he is always either involved with an opponent weaker than him, or one stronger than he is.
But this opponent is neither of the two.
This is an opponent who is equal to him in all aspects.
Agility, strength, thought capacity, and reaction timing.
This, is a new territory for him, and that is why he is having a difficult time against it.
What should he do?, what sorts of tactics should he bring out next?.
This is the worst kind of situation for someone like him to be entangled in.
He is not an official fighter equipped with fighting skills and all that.
What he has relied on to survive this far, are strategy and techniques he copied out of Comics and movies.
Any other thing apart from that, he is clueless about it.
Those moves have managed to take him this far because his opponents so far were not that different from him.
Beasts that relies on their senses to guide them.
But this opponent before him, is different from all those.
This is an opponent who has adopted fighting as a form of show and entertainment for others.
An opponent with intelligence who relies not only on his senses but also on his skills and grasping the enemys reaction movements.
The Goblin contender, noticed that as their fight rages on, his opponent is getting better at reading his movements on how he responds to attacks.
This has given the Goblin champion an upper hand on how and when to attack his opponent.
This is no doubt a tough situation for the Goblin contender.
He has to do something other than just leaving it all up to his detection senses, else he might end up losing his life.
!!!!!!.
A thought struck the mind of the Goblin contender as he realizes that even at this moment, he is most concerned about not wanting to die.
Just earlier, he begged for his life to be taken away from him so he can escape from the claws of the Goblin king.
Now, now he is trying so desperately to fight so he won't lose that same life he wanted to end.
What an irony this is for him.
He looks at himself and he felt more pathetic than he had ever felt, but there was nothing that can be done.
True, he did want to die, but not anymore.
Now he wants to survive.
He has a clear goal ahead of him for why he should survive.
Just dying while the one that made him this miserable and pathetic is still very much alive would only leave him even more pathetic.
He has to live and pay back the humiliation,
That is the only form of consolation he can offer himself for now.
So yes, he has to live, no he needs to live.
He raises his head up at the Goblin champion before him.
This is just another hurdle for him to go through.
A professional or not, he must come out victorious for him to live.
