I, the Goblin Emperor, Rule the World - EP.169
Since the attacks didn’t seem to have any effect on the opponent, they decided to stick to close combat and provide cover for their teammates!
Realizing the potential of this strategy, Dolerance immediately decided to give it a try.
Years of playing multiplayer battle games with friends before crossing over had honed his cooperative skills.
Playing one’s part in the most suitable way possible is the key to the best teamwork in top-level matches!
Dolerance shouted, and once again, his whole body was enveloped in a cool and flashy crimson flame magic dragon armor. This time, he armed himself directly to the teeth and vibrated his wings as he approached Jack Cloud.
Jack Cloud raised his hand, and another white line slashed across. This time, a faint smile played on Dolerance’ lips, and his dragon armor gleamed with an amber light.
“Heroic Skill!”
Dolerance unleashed a heroic skill, strengthening his entire armor.
The next second, the white line arrived.
Dolerance resisted it forcefully, then he halted the continued release of his heroic skill, returning most of the magic power and resetting the time needed for the skill to recharge.
“Well done!”
Dian on the dragon’s back couldn’t help but admire.
Thankfully, they were all fellow countrymen; their quick thinking was reassuring.
In the sky, Diya Zhenlan also looked somewhat surprised. She still wasn’t accustomed to this; Dian and the others always came up with maneuvers that left her impressed or dumbfounded.
It had to be said, they were all geniuses.
Compared to them, she and Lexiya were both quasi-four-star overlords, but they lagged behind in terms of strategy.
It was no wonder. Dian wasn’t originally that strong when he was born, but now he was already a four-star existence. Perhaps in the future, Dian and the others would leave her and Lexiya far behind.
Jack Cloud obviously hadn’t expected the opponent to come up with a method to counter his attacks so quickly.
Although the advanced goblins of the goblin clan were intelligent individuals, most of them were fierce, impulsive, and cunning but not cunning enough. They often ended up deceiving themselves.
But the goblins in front of him were obviously several levels smarter. They were well aware of their strengths and weaknesses in battle.
If it were anyone else taking turns against opponents weaker than him, none of these opponents would pose a threat; they would all be easily defeated.
However, when they merged into a group.
One harassed him at a distance, two forced him to shift his focus elsewhere, making it impossible for him to focus, while another blocked his moves, preventing him from acting freely.
At that moment, even if he wasn’t physically restrained, his actions were already restricted.
Dian and Dialuk understood cleverly that if they left this battlefield, it might quickly collapse with their four teammates, leading to defeat.
So, they hovered in the sky, with intentions to get closer to Princess Loxis and return to continue fighting together, forcing Jack Cloud to pay attention to Princess Loxis on one side while not being able to act rashly on their side.
This was manipulation.
Making you anxious yet unable to act.
And at this moment, the true attacker could strike.
At the edge of the battlefield, the Ice Heroine Klunia, who had been brewing, was now radiating extreme magical brilliance.
“Tremble beneath my majesty!”
The Ice Heroine Klunia raised her fair right hand high, then swung it down.
An ice giant spear instantly descended from the sky, piercing the earth and standing on the vast white ground, a boundless chill surged wildly on the ice giant spear, releasing a terrifying ice and snow storm in all directions.
As winter approached, the earth became desolate. In just a moment, this generation was plunged into a storm of snow and wind.
The chill continued to spread wildly, inflicting harm on Jack Cloud, who was in the snowy terrain.
At the same time, Klunia’s fair hands opened a huge ice longbow in front of her, aiming at the enemy who had been affected by her snow attack and preparing an unavoidable, powerful, and targeted pursuit skill.
Even a platinum-level swordsman, not primarily focused on defense, when faced with Klunia’s penetrative and ultra-powerful pursuit attack that couldn’t be dodged, had the possibility of falling.
Jack Cloud clearly felt that the battle was becoming dangerous.
Klunia, being a strong member of the Hero Clan, could target him with her pursuit attacks, which were hard to dodge.
Moreover, the surrounding goblins made this battle quite tricky.
Jack Cloud raised his Flame Sword, and a magical flash passed through it. His body then manifested a layer of light-element magic, accompanied by a burning flame.
“Light-element skill —— Extreme Sword Body.”
The flame light was Jack Cloud’s attribute.
The skill he acquired, with some characteristics of fire, could dispel the chill applied to his body. Without the cold, Klunia couldn’t lock onto him for an attack.
However, the chill would continue to accumulate. His light wasn’t effective against it. Until the chill reached a high level, it would pierce through his magic, making Klunia’s attacks unavoidable.
“Be careful, he’s entering the second stage!” Dian shouted from above.
“The second stage?” Diya Zhenlan, also in the sky, looked puzzled. What does that mean?
“Understood!”
On the ground, Dolerance raised his thumb, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The next moment, Jack Cloud appeared in front of him, wielding a platinum sword covered with a layer of flame light. This slash was several times stronger than the previous white line slash.
Could Dolerance withstand it?
Of course!
“Heroic skill…”
“Heroic skill…”
“Heroic skill…”
Three heroic skills were activated simultaneously but not released.
Stacking armor!
Despite Jack Cloud’s reinforced strike, Dolerance was sent flying, but his dragon armor remained intact. Without breaking the shield, there was no damage.
“Well done!” Even Dialuk in the sky couldn’t help but laugh.
This teammate had some tricks up his sleeve.
Jack Cloud looked at Dolerance, whose lips were curled up like a stubborn turtle, and felt somewhat baffled.
This goblin, who was originally the weakest and most likely to die at his hands, had become so tough after just a few rounds of fighting?
Originally, Dolerance was the breakthrough point among the goblins. Now, with his shield stacked so thickly, the breakthrough point had become…
A flicker of flame flashed in Jack Cloud’s eyes. He slightly raised the sword in his hand, and the next moment, a dozen white lines shot up into the sky, slashing towards the two flying dragons above.
And the next moment, just as the goblins were speculating what he would do next, his lingering shadow on the ground disappeared with the wind and snow. In a flash, he had appeared behind Lexiya.
The platinum sword in his hand had already swung out.
This strike was without any surprises, cutting across Lexiya’s body.
However, there was no sensation of cutting through an object.
Jack Cloud watched as the gradually disappearing figure vanished, then turned to look at the several Lexiyas standing beside him, furrowing his brow in apparent confusion.
But soon, he froze because he thought of a possibility.
Attaining the form of a sword through the unity of man and nature, becoming a respected figure.
The respected, transforming sword intent into form, was the dream of countless swordsmen and the ultimate proof of the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
“Are you… a fourth-order Sword Venerable?”
Lexiya didn’t answer this human’s question. With her doppelgangers present, it was impossible to distinguish between them. They all gripped their Starfall Swords tightly to counter.
Jack Cloud became visibly unsettled.
This was outrageous. How could a goblin wield a human sword profession and even reach the level of a Sword Venerable?
Jack Cloud wasn’t a traditional swordsman; his profession was quite special, and his sword was upheld in the name of an oath.
But within the kingdom, there were quite a few individuals with outstanding combat abilities in traditional sword professions. One of the most representative sword geniuses was the Starfall Sword Princess, Jasiya. Despite her years of sword practice, she had only reached the level of a third-order swordsman, which was already a high achievement.
A Sword Venerable was a realm beyond ordinary people’s reach.
Most Sword Venerables started as quasi-platinum-level beings.
This goblin’s talent in swordsmanship was very strong, no, it should be said, extremely strong. His future would definitely not stop here.
Goblins, born powerful, paid the price of having their growth path locked and unable to advance.
But now, the silver king goblin standing in front of him displayed astonishing potential, which was beyond belief.
Warlock who created his own magic, hero, giant dragon, Sword Venerable.
Were these really goblins?
If they said they came from superior races, Jack Cloud would believe it now.
Behind them, how terrifying of an existence would this silver king goblin be to breed such a powerful group of goblins?
The rumors were indeed true. As a king-level goblin, the combat power might be laughable, but its functionality was terrifying to an extreme degree.
It was no wonder that Klunia, who was so powerful and stunningly beautiful, a star-like existence that countless people coveted and fantasized about, would choose to devote herself to the goblins. Obviously, she had already understood the power of the silver king goblin.
And she was already a wanted criminal banished by the Hero Clan, and her actions could not be judged by normal logic.
“If you’re not a goblin, I’d really like to fight you after you grow up.”
Jack Cloud looked at Lexiya in front of him, feeling emotional. But now, as a human, there were still things he had to do.
After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Jack Cloud no longer held back. His steps sank slightly, and the light all over his body surged. The fiery sword energy enveloped his entire body.
“In the name of the oath, I shall vanquish all evil and protect the people!”
The magical weapon in Jack Cloud’s hand shone brightly, his destiny ignited with the will of the oath, and his power began to surge.
“Be careful!”
Klunia reminded at this moment.
But without Klunia’s reminder, the goblins could clearly feel Jack Cloud’s change at this moment.
A quasi-platinum-level powerhouse unleashed his full strength in front of them, and his momentum was like a primordial beast breaking free from the seal of heaven and earth.
Seeing Jack Cloud’s performance at this moment, Klunia couldn’t continue to let her chill accumulate.
She ceased the charging of the arrow in her hand and released the bowstring, shooting out the ice arrow.
The next moment, that ice arrow split into countless ice arrows. Without the targeting pursuit characteristic, they had to use skills covering a wide range to attack such agile enemies with maximum evasion.
Countless arrows flew like a meteor shower.
However, at this moment, Jack Cloud transformed into a war god radiating with golden light all over his body. His figure flickered swiftly, dodging the ice arrows. The overlapping afterimages of his dodges made it seem as if he were simply strolling through the arrow barrage, step by step approaching Lexiya.
Feeling an unprecedented pressure, Lexiya unleashed all of her magic, once again entering the state of the Starfall Jade Sword technique, forcibly raising her combat limit.
But even the discerning could see that Lexiya couldn’t withstand the attack of such an opponent.
How could a caring brother stand by when his beloved sister was in danger!
Dolerance stepped forward first, rushing towards Jack Cloud.
At the same time, Dialuk descended with Dian, diving towards Princess Loxis who was engaged in battle on the side.
They attempted to force Jack Cloud into a passive situation, making him abandon his full-on attack on Lexiya and turn to rescue Princess Loxis in order to safeguard Lexiya.
However, the goblins clearly underestimated the strength of this kingdom’s general.
They also didn’t know why he was called the “Sword Demon of the Kingdom”.
In an instant, unable to discern Jack Cloud’s peculiar movements, his sword simultaneously swung towards Lexiya and the charging Dolerance.
Two terrifying light slashes fell at the same moment.
Dolerance’s dragon armor held up, but he found that the power of this strike wasn’t strong. Then he saw a white line appearing in front of him.
The first slash was a feint, and this second white line slash was real. It bypassed his front and seized the opportunity when he moved, seemingly ignoring his dragon armor and directly attacking his body.
Dolerance’s gaze froze for a moment as he already envisioned himself being decapitated.
The next moment,
A golden light flashed in his pupils, and a strange incantation seemed to have been already recited, released.
TN: Should at least our MC showed up where the heck is Chen Le? He should at least witness how powerful his womans and his off springs. Where is he? Mating Lair? Lol
