Ashlyne stared at Regius with her mouth agape at his response but before she knew it the black dot in the sky began to rapidly expand as it plummeted downward and smashed into the ground right in front of Regius.
As the shadowy figure landed Ashlyne shot backward and into the sky as she glided on a board made of Ice, as snow and rock went flying from where the thing landed. The Haori that made up the Armor Of The Devil King fluttered in the wind but there seemed to be streams of mana that ran around it that sent the debris flying around Regius so that none of it hit him. The snow cleared and standing there was a massive bulked-up goblin. The monster stood close to 9 feet tall and was pure muscle.
The goblin looked nothing like the rest of the race that had been seen so far. This monstrosity was well fed and full of strength and it meant business. In the hands of the giant goblin, there was a massive crudely made ax in each hand that looked like it was a big piece of metal pressed into this shape. What made them look menacing is that the entire edge of the two crude axes were serrated to inflict the most damage possible when slashing into someone.
Regius grinned to himself and the air began to crackle with the pressure of the ambient mana of the 2 figures clashing as the 2 forces reacted like hated enemies and began to invisibly clash. Regius relished the thought of a worthy opponent after so long and the world went blank around him and all that mattered was beating the opponent in front of him. His whole body tensed, preparing himself for the swing that would come the moment he reached for his blade but he had a fun idea and he grinned like a madman as he executed it.
In the blink of an eye, he had absorbed his sword belt and sheath back into his mana space and snatched his sword with a reverse grip, and slashed it upwards aiming to split the giant in two. The creature that Regius had dubbed the Goblin King reacted just as fast though and before Regius's strike landed the king used the flat side of one of the axes and with lighting speed he dropped the ax being held in his other hand and punched the flat of the blade right as the tip of Regius's blade made contact with it sending all of the force back towards Regius spinning him through the air which he then uses to created additional rotational strength from his earlier strike but this time his attack came from above. The King didn't see it coming but Regius wouldn't miss twice the blade came down at an impossible angle the King had no choice but to try to dodge and because of that, it allowed Regius to make contact with him and leave a thin cut down the entire left side of his body that oozed green blood and served to piss the Goblin king off.
Regius finally landed on the ground for the first time after the fight had started. The goblin king charged and Regius smiled at no one in particular. He had put his armor into speed mode but he had not reactivated the petal of wind. " "Now shall we commence with round 2 Goblin King."
