While limping, I moved forward to fight against the goblin king. The goblin king advanced as well.
Now, the distance between us was about an arms length. I looked closely at the goblin king. I noticed that he was wearing metal mesh gloves with an iron chest plate, a red cape and a glamorous crown. He had worn a metal armour covering his legs which looked similar to a knights attire. My eyes enlarged as I realised why the goblin king was strangely dressed. He had killed heroes from other dimensions before. The portal I had entered, had been opened before.
Before he could land a blow, I swung my right hand to land a cross punch on his face. As the punch was about to land, the goblin king lifted his right hand slightly, and rotated his hand, pivoting around his elbow to move the punch to another direction. As he pushed my hand aside, my whole body was left unguarded. The goblin king took this opportunity to land a left hook.
While facing this attack, I fell on the floor sideways. I puked blood as I was lying there. The goblin king sneered after looking at my pathetic state. To end the battle, he swung his right leg and kicked me in the gut similar to a football. I tossed and turned until my back hit the wall of the room. My body was dragged to the side of the room due to the force of the kick.
As I hit the wall, I heard a large thud. Blood dripped from my face. My eyesight was hazy. I couldn't pay attention to what was happening. My eyes were slowly closing. Just as I was about to close my eyes, I heard a robotic female voice.
[Critical: HP is now at 1/1,000.]
The voice brought me back to my senses. I opened my eyes wide, a noticed the goblin king slowly walking towards me. My eyes were still slightly hazy, however, the light in the room cleared most of my vision. Wait. Where was this light coming from?
I turned my head around and saw a burning wooden stick held in some sort of wooden handle. I got up from my position as fast as I could, and lifted the torched piece of wood in my right hand. I removed the gold metallic sheath from my belt and gripped it tightly as I held on to it with my left hand.
As soon as the goblin king was near enough, I moved the torch sideways, rapidly in front of the goblin king's face to blind him. He stopped in his position and moved his hands in front of his face due to the excessive light. Without a moments hesitation, I thrusted my scabbard into the goblin king's gut.
The goblin king moved his hands away from his face and stood still for a while. As he looked down towards the sword, he noticed what had happened. He slowly moved back, and eventually fell. As soon as his back hit the ground, the scabbard passed through his flesh once more. The goblin king held the scabbard in his hand, and pulled it out.
He used his wrists to push himself away from me. Steadily, while moving away, he left behind a trail of blood. After creating some distance, he moved his neck up and screamed. The 10 goblins left rushed towards me.
I waved the torch in front of their faces to avoid confrontation. The goblins stopped progressing after a certain distance. After looking at this, the goblin king roared once more. Due to the amount of effort he put in his voice, blood gushed out of his wound.
The 10 goblins started to pass through the fire. They were purposely damaging themselves to reach closer. The burning goblins started latching on to me. After burning through what was left of my armour, the heat exponentially rose.
I tried to shrug them away, but failed. The heat increased further, but somehow, the heat stopped damaging me. My strength rejuvenated, and the goblins were pushed off due to an unknown force. My vision cleared, and I reached the pinnacle of this world once again. The ground rumbled. I had achieved Godhood.
[MP: 10,000/10,000]
[Godhood achieved.]
[Species: God.]
My HP was still low, but now I was strong enough to deal with the pain. The goblins that had previously latched on to me, burnt to crisp while they laid on the floor. The goblin king was far too exhausted to move. Half of his body was covered in blood and his eyes were slightly open. I turned my face to look at the goblin mages. The 3 goblin mages shivered in the presence of my red aura. Other than the gift of high MP, mages, irrespective of the species, were always a bit smarter than then their counterpart species. The goblin mages refused to approach me.
I averted my eyes, and looked towards the goblin king. While limping my way to the goblin king, there was utter silence.
I now stood exactly above the goblin king. I bent down and removed his crown from his head. A goblin king's crown was an anomaly produced only by goblins. While young, goblin king's were identified by the crown that grew on their head. The crown remained attached to their heads till the day they were ready to rule. As soon as the crown separated from the goblin king, he was proclaimed the ruler.
I opened my pouch filled with gold, and removed some of the gold present to make room for the crown. As soon as I placed the crown in my pouch, a screen popped up.
[Goblin King's Crown obtained. Rank D.]
To end this portal's expedition, I lifted my gold scabbard in my hand, and ended the goblin king's life by piercing it through his head.
I left the area while limping through the course of the whole place and made my way to the portal. As soon as I entered Earth, I noticed a bunch of people fighting the goblin hoard successfully.
