"Graaarrr…!"
The large Goblin attacking Iris felt the sharp pain of his eyes being sliced open, and the deadly poison seeping inside of the wounds, struggling to maintain any sanity, it moved its blade and shield crazily around, as Iris evaded easily and then began to stab the Goblin's blind stops with her black claws!
Slash! Slash!
"And… there!" said Iris, as she slashed open the Goblins' chest, as an enormous amount of blood splattered over her, which she quickly drank to nourish herself, taking the goblin's shield to take on the arrows of the one far away, and then throwing it towards that one with incredible precision, knocking it out!
Clash!
"Gryyaarr…!"
"Phew, well, that's that- Eh? Even more?" asked Iris, as she quickly grabbed the cores in the ground, saving them on her backpack.
"Iris, look out!" said Noah, as Iris sight was greeted by a blazing fireball!
"That Goblin is a mage?!" asked Iris, leaping out of her position like a frog, just a few seconds before the fireball hit the ground in a loud explosion.
"It seems so, I will go take it down, cover my back," said Noah.
"Alright!" said Iris, as both former humans rushed through the cave, Noah raised his claws and sliced away the Goblins that came his way, leaving them to Iris!
Slash! Slash!
"Grryarr!"
"Grooarr!"
"Two large ones… alright, I can do this!" said Iris, charging with the shield she retrieved alongside the blade of the goblin, clashing against the smallest of the two large Goblins, and then burying her claws into its eyes!
Clash!
"Grryaarrrr…!"
The Goblin cried in pain as its partner came behind Iris, pushing her away like a ragdoll with its shield!
Clash!
"Unngh…! T-That hurt, you know?!" roared Iris, her fangs growing larger as her crimson eyes gleamed eerily, she moved acrobatically around the air, landing perfectly in her two feet as she shrouded herself in her Demonic Phantom Fox Skill once more.
Meanwhile, Noah broke through the group of smaller Goblins, easily slicing them in half or cutting off their heads, reaching the Mage Goblin who suddenly panicked, conjuring a spell!
"Grrryaarroo!"
Flash!
Anther fireball emerged from the Goblin's staff, clashing against Noah!
BOOM!
"Gyahahahaha!" laughed the Goblin, even beginning to dance as it managed to defeat the threatening foe in one hit!
Or so, it thought.
Flash!
A crimson shadow emerged from behind the Goblin, as Noah's burns slowly began to heal… The Goblin's entire body began to drip with cold sweat, as the deadly presence of the one he thought had died appeared out of nowhere!
"That hurt a lot… But nothing that some sweet blood cannot heal completely," said Noah, as his claws moved incredibly quickly, slicing the Goblin's arms, and then kicking it to the ground, just like it did before.
"Yeah, that's a better look," laughed Noah, extracting the Blood of the crying Goblin Mage, and drinking it all in a few seconds, as the Goblin Mage cried in agony as he did, dying out of blood lost and disappearing out of thin air.
Noah grabbed the Cores without having much time to inspect them, as another large Goblin emerged from his back, this time holding a large hammer that is carried as if it were nothing.
"These are surely not normal Goblins… I should have read more of the Monster Encyclopedia's pages… But these big guys might as well be Goblin Warriors…" thought Noah, evading the heavy hit of the Goblin's hammer, which he was sure could easily blow his head off even if he was now a Vampire.
Noah released two crimson slashes from his claws, distracting the Goblin to protect himself with his shield, as he quickly ran towards its back, leaped on its shoulders, and buried his claws into the creature's neck!
Clash!
"GRAAAAA!"
The Goblin Warrior roared in pain, using its fists and punching Noah's back with immense strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Ungh…! Haha…!" laughed Noah wickedly, as he stabbed with his jaw into the monstrous creature and with all the strength of his mouth, he torn apart a large chunk of flesh, which he ate monstrously, the blood splattered all over, which he gathered and drank while just taking the hits… If he were to take more without drinking the blood to heal himself, he would have most likely died, but by using this insane strategy, he pulled off a victory once more.
The Goblin Warrior's lost its vitality by Noah's monstrous attacks, as its body fell into the ground loudly, disappearing not long after and leaving some Cores behind, Noah immediately realized that Goblin Warriors had a higher chance to drop Cores, just as he desired, although they were particularly harder to kill than simple Goblins.
Noah grabbed the Cores as he glanced at Iris at last, who was barely managing against the Goblin Warriors she was fighting.
One of the Goblin Warriors she fought was suffering from her poison, and its movements were becoming lethargic, yet it still held enough energy to rampage around.
The other Goblin Warrior was only with a few wounds around his body, and because of its muscle mass, her poison was having a hard time seeping into the rest of the body.
Iris suddenly leaped high enough for the Goblin Warriors to not be able to reach her, enhancing her body with the phantasmal enshroud of Demonic Fox Phantom, as she infused more Mana into her Black Nails, falling over the poisoned Goblin Warrior and burying them right inside of its skull!
Clash!
"GRRAAAARRR…!"
The Goblins shrieked in agony as it died right after, turning into black smoke, only for Iris to be greeted by the other Goblin Warriors' shield, bashing her away with immense force!
Boom!
"Nngaahh…! Y-You!"
Iris's eyes gleamed eerily, as she fell into the ground and charged back to the Goblin Warrior right after!
Flash!
Iris ran like a wild beast, her Demonic Phantom Fox Skill gave her a greater speed as its highest enhancement, so she managed to use it to her advantage and have a greater reaction time alongside her Dhampir capabilities.
"GRROAARRR!"
The Goblin Warriors suddenly roared so fiercely that Iris felt slightly paralyzed, the Goblin Warrior had a Skill!
"That's… Roar? A Skill that temporarily paralyzes an enemy with a roar, but it is only seconds… Although it might be enough for the Goblin Warrior…" thought Noah, as the Goblin Warrior smiled, using its feet to kick Iris in the stomach, sending her flying high into the ceiling!
Clash!
"Geeehh…!"
Iris shrieked in pain as she vomited a mouthful of blood, falling back to the ground, where the Goblin Warrior waited for her with his blade raised.
"You should go help her," said the Blood Progenitor to Noah.
"Is that so? Maybe you are underestimating her? Iris is way fiercer than you think… I realized this a few hours ago…" said Noah, as Iris suddenly woke up, her eyes gleaming even redder than before, as the veins around them could be clearly seen!
Her crimson hair suddenly began to raise as if something was surging from her, and her teeth and canines became larger and monstrous!
Her Demonic Fox Phantom took complete possession of her, as she hit the air with a strong shockwave, flying towards the Goblin Warrior while pointing her nails towards it!
"Graaaaaaaaarr!"
"Greh?!"
The Goblin Warrior was left startled by Iris's sudden change, as it tried to slice her off desperately with its blade!
However!
Clash!
Iris's black nails sliced the Goblin Warrior's blade without any trouble, as she stabbed her claws into the Goblin's face, and her fangs into its head, crushing its skull and taking a large piece of bone and brain, which she monstrously triturated inside of her mouth!
Crunch, crunch!
The Goblin Warrior died almost immediately after, exploding into black smoke, as Iris was left gasping for air, her phantom fox disappeared, and she suddenly felt like her head was about to explode…
