Chapter 135 New Weapons
Four goblins attacked at the same time. Xia Sheng realized he didn't have much of a chance. When he rushed in front of them, he jumped high over them, gripped his sword with both hands, and slashed at the big goblin.
This goblin was unlike the last one; its face showed no mockery, but rather a wary expression.
It raised its club, not to meet the attack, but to parry.
Boom!
The wooden sword struck the mallet, producing a dull thud that echoed through the space.
Xia Sheng's strength was no match for the big goblin; it held the club, its arm remaining completely still.
Seeing this, a glint of understanding flashed in the goblin's eyes, and it launched a counterattack.
Xia Sheng was unable to resist and was pushed away and thrown about.
The big goblin's counterattack had no offensive power, and Xia Sheng used the momentum to flip over and land smoothly in front of the little goblin again.
"roar!"
The goblin roared, full of momentum, and strode after Xia Sheng.
The little goblins also gathered around.
Xia Sheng feigned weakness, slowly retreating with his head slightly lowered and a smirk playing on his lips.
The plan was successful.
This goblin is indeed cautious, but unfortunately, it's not very bright.
Seeing that Xia Sheng was no match for it, it immediately couldn't hold back.
As expected, they did not have complete information about them, only that they existed, or rather, that he existed.
Their current focus is not on invading the world, but on dealing with it first.
Xia Sheng guessed that because of his obstruction, the invaders could only send weak invaders.
But his presence prevented the intruders from succeeding.
Therefore, without dealing with him first, we cannot continue the invasion.
He is now their primary target.
But that's perfect. By focusing our attention on him, Yukino and the others will be safe.
He can keep getting stronger, and they can only slowly explore and experiment with him to gain power.
As long as they don't get into trouble, they'll have time to catch up with him.
The premise is that he dealt with the intruders.
Xia Sheng quickly retreated to a corner, with nowhere left to go. His expression turned fierce, as if he were ready to fight to the death.
The big goblin laughed when he saw this, as if victory was assured.
The little goblins surrounded Xia Sheng first, and all four of them swung their clubs at the same time, smashing them down on Xia Sheng with all their might.
Xia Sheng suddenly jumped up, gripped the wooden sword tightly with both hands, and slashed at the goblin in the same way as before.
This time, the goblin didn't block; it swung its club and clashed head-on with Natsumi.
It had just determined that Xia Sheng's abilities were no match for its own.
However, just a second before the weapons clashed, the goblin's eyes suddenly widened, his large pupils revealing disbelief.
The sword in the human's hand has changed!
Xia Sheng naturally wouldn't use a wooden sword to fight the goblin head-on. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he switched his wooden sword to an iron sword, the blade gleaming with a bright white light.
When the iron sword and the club clashed, there was neither a stalemate nor a clear winner.
The stick was sliced in half as easily as tofu, but the iron sword's attack continued unabated, striking the goblin's right shoulder.
As Xia Sheng landed, the iron sword slid diagonally from the goblin's right shoulder down to its left waist, and purple liquid sprayed out along with the wound.
"Roar!"
The goblin screamed in agony, unable to hold onto the half-finished club, which fell from its hand. It clutched the wound in its chest, writhing in pain.
Although the iron sword did not cut it in two, the deep wound revealed the white bone.
After landing, Xia Sheng quickly retreated to avoid being attacked.
However, he was overthinking it. The wound was too severe; the goblin couldn't withstand it at all. After a mournful cry, it collapsed to the ground.
Extract the residue.
Seeing this, Xia Sheng was worried, so he immediately went to its head, raised it, and chopped it down heavily.
A perfectly round object, covered in purple liquid, tumbled and flew up.
Big Goblin, defeated!
Based on the previous goblin, Xia Sheng guessed that they might have personalities, which could be used to his advantage.
Even if he's arrogant and haughty, he can handle it with his iron sword.
If people have different personalities, they can adapt to the situation.
He was right, and through strategy, he easily dealt with the Big Goblin.
While the iron sword allows him to directly confront the goblins and break through their weapons, these goblins are resilient and prone to counterattacks.
Xia Sheng had no intention of trading his life for blood.
The best solution is to resolve the issue without causing harm.
With the most troublesome intruders dealt with, the remaining goblins are no longer a threat.
Xia Sheng looked at the four goblins who were stunned because the big goblin had been dealt with, and without hesitation, he drew his sword and charged forward.
Perhaps because the big goblin was dead, the little goblins were too panicked, and their attacks were chaotic and disorganized. Xia Sheng easily dodged them, taking them down one by one with his sword.
The four goblins were easily dealt with, all of them having their heads and bodies separated.
He didn't know why the intruders' bodies always disappeared without a trace each time they came, but ensuring their death was important.
After resolving the issue, Natsuo sheathed his iron sword, finally letting out a sigh of relief. He looked at Yukino and the others, a smile spreading across his face.
"Resolved."
"You've become stronger." Yukino and the others walked towards him.
"How can I properly protect you if I don't become stronger?" Xia Sheng smiled.
"Then you can't get hurt." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled slightly.
"Are you alright?" Shiina Mahiru looked Natsuo up and down, concerned.
"Don't worry, nothing's wrong."
"That's good~" Shiina Mahiru was relieved.
"Amazing, my eyes are blurry." Mai Sakurajima gave him a thumbs up.
She had just witnessed a spectacular battle, a scene she had only ever seen on television.
It made her feel incredibly excited.
"It's because the goblin isn't smart enough, otherwise my skills wouldn't be enough." Xia Sheng shook his head.
He knew in his heart that his physical strength was very strong among humans, but it was no match for the invaders, who were like monsters.
If magic could strengthen his body, he could become even stronger, perhaps even able to fight them hand-to-hand, like those warriors from other worlds.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
[Successfully defeated the second layer of intruders. Reward: a katana and one special attribute point.]
Ok?
Xia Sheng was startled by the sudden notification sound.
What? There are new weapons again?
It's still a weapon like the katana that's used for downward strikes.
He doesn't want to be a swordsman.
"Natsuo, what's wrong?" Yukino Yukinoshita noticed the change in his expression.
"They gave me another weapon," Xia Sheng answered truthfully.
"Weapons? What weapons?"
"Tachi."
"Tachi...:" Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously wondered what the tachi was related to.
"What is a katana?" Shiina Mahiru asked.
"It's a type of samurai sword."
"Why did you obtain this weapon?" Mai Sakurajima asked, puzzled.
"I don't know either, since I don't know any katana techniques."
He knows it's one thing, but he will, is another.
"Maybe it will be useful in the future," Yukino Yukinoshita guessed.
"Maybe... It seems like we should go back." Natsumi noticed that their feet were starting to blur.
"They left... a bit too quickly this time," Yukino Yukinoshita frowned.
She remembered that every time she left before, it was at a fixed time after Xia Sheng had dealt with all the intruders.
"Is there a problem?" Xia Sheng asked, looking at her.
"I don't know..." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head.
"Be careful with Yui and the others tomorrow."
"Okay... By the way, I might need to see you tomorrow."
"What is it?"
"I'll tell you when we meet," Xia Sheng said with a playful smile.
"...Okay." Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't stand it and glared at him.
"Well then, goodnight." Xia Sheng looked at the three of them and said gently.
Goodnight. *3
The four people's bodies completely became ethereal and then disappeared.
The space was eerily quiet.
A few seconds later, the ground shook, and a crack appeared beneath the goblin corpses, swallowing them whole.
The blood flowing on the ground also faded and then disappeared, as if it had completely merged into the underground.
The ground continued to shake, the cracks closed, and it quickly returned to the way it was when Xia Sheng and the others arrived.
There was no change whatsoever, as if no living being had ever been there.
