The goblin arrived on the platform and stood opposite of Henry, the goblin bowed down before it took a defensive stance. Henry was intrigued by this, goblins and most monsters are typically bloodthirsty and don't waste time on trivial things such formalities. Not that it mattered but Henry bowed back before he took his stance.

"I'll close this dungeon, that will show em, I won't lose to him again" Athena kept running, she was visibly frustrated.
"Why did korah even agree to marriage hmph" Athena kept mumbling in anger. To her, marriage was a waste of time and something she wouldn't do.
After a while of running, she came across two huge doors. Not wasting much time, he pushed them open and prepared herself for a fight. She had completely forgot about the person who was supposedly ahead of her and was shocked by what she saw.
The sound of a blade cutting through air followed by the sound of a dull object striking metal resounded through the air.
*Boom*
Athena looked on in shock at the one sided fight that was before her. Athena was well versed in combat and knew how the flow of a fight would inevitably unfold.
The goblin clad in armor was swinging her long blades fiercely, aiming to cut her opponent. Henry on the other side with a serious expression dodged every attack coming his way, every so often Henry would attack the goblin causing the armor to cave, in the shape of his fist.
Not bothered by the goblins attack and using this opportunity to sort of relax a bit Henry sighed out loud. As of late he had been jumpy, easily bothered by simple things, it was nice to calm down from time to time and rethink things. Henry was in his thoughts meanwhile dodgde the attacks.
Bringing his attention back to his opponent, Henry sidestep the incoming vertical slash and reached out his arm. The goblin reacted quickly and jumped back to avoid the arm, just as the goblin landed some distance away, a hand landed on it's helmet.
Henry quickly appeared behind the goblin and removed the helmet, Henry froze as his eyes widened in shock. Dark Green luxurious hair fell out from the helmet, the green hair had a dark look to it and reflected the light.
The goblin turned around with an attack. Henry's shock was momentary as he dodged the attack, he stood up and was shocked yet again.
The goblin infront of him was female and a beautiful one at it. The gobline looked more human than gobline, it had a human nose and albeit her canine's extended out of her mouth, Henry found it cute and sort of attractive, the angry expression on her face only improved her cuteness. In fact the goblin looked more like an orc or human than a goblin.
Despite losing her helmet, the female orc kept attacking non-stop. Henry kept dodging and along the way he disarmed her and took her weapons, despite being unarmed the female orf kept attacking. Henry tried to talk to her but his words fell on deaf ears.
Henry sighed loudly and prepared to attack but alarm bells went of in his head telling him to dodge, he jumped away towards the side.
A spear flew threw the air, the sharpness of the spear cut the air as it whistled. Just as Henry landed, he looked up to the spot he was recently at only to see the female orc getting impaled by the spear.
Henry got up and looked toward the direction the attack had come from. From the shadows another figure clad in armor stepped into the light, the design of the armor was an exact replicate of the female goblins.
The figure walked towards the female orc and kneeled. The figure removed it's helmet and male orc appeared. The male orc also had feature that were more human than most humans infact the male orc sort of resembled the female orce. The male also had long dark green hair that flowed down it's shoulders.
The orc looked at the female orc with a sorrowful look, it wiped a small tear from the female orc's face before closing it's eye's. The male orc gently laid the female orc down before getting up with it's head lowered, the male orc reached out and aggressively pulled it's spear from the female corps.
It turned around and looked at Henry with bloodthirsty eyes, it's eyes seemed to carry an immense hatred and a hint of suffering. The orc ran towards Henry at full speed before swinging it's spear towards him. Henry dodged the incoming attacks.
Compared to the female orc's attack, the male orc's were more fierce and precise. The spear cut through the air, Henry could tell that the attacks carried a strong power behind it but it wasn't anything Henry couldn't handle.
Henry punched the orc in the face and grabbed the spear, the orc felt a powerful force push it back, it staggered backwards but kept it's grip on the spear and refused to let go. Henry pulled the spear towards him and the orc got pulled foward as well.
Henry punched the staggering orc in the face and sent it backwards, despite the strong punch, the orc refused to let go and hung on. Henry pulled the spear again and hit the orc again, this action repeat itself again and again until Henry's fist was covered in green blood and the orc's face was unrecognizable.
"Why are you being so stubborn? I mean it's comandable but if you had no chance, why even bother" Henry was annoyed by the orc's stupidity. "We do what we must, I suppose"
Henry broke the spear and used the sharp edge to stab the orc in the neck, he pulled back the spear and stab again and again. "Gotta be sure" he thought.
A few minutes later the bodies of the two orc's turned into colorfull sand before disappearing towards the ground. The bodies including the armor's, merged with the ground and disappeared, the only thing that was left were the two weapons.
Just as the orc's disappeared a dungeon door appeared at the end of the room, just before the small but many steps leading towards the throne.
Henry walked towards the spot where the female orc had died and picked up the duel daggers, even though they looked more like short swords.
The short swords were silver from head to toe, including the handle. The blade looked to be elagently crafted with weird engraved circles across it's body. The only part with no engravings was the sharp side.
Henry was well versed with many weapons, which made him a jack of all trade, unlike most people, he mastered all of them. He wasn't a master of none rather a master of all. He equipped his arms with the blades and swung them a few times. After a while he nodded in agreement, he liked them.
*Grooom*
The two doors from the entrance opened up, the trio siblings entered and saw Athena standing not fare from them. Athena seemed to be lost in her thoughts as she didn't notice them. They looked around but didn't see much as the sides of the room were pitch black besides the lighted path in the middle.
Henry placed the broken spear on top of the broken throne, he placed the spear before turning around and walked towards the dungeon exit. He looked towards the door and saw the other four, staring at him, so he waited for them.
Athena was awakened from her thoughts. She followed with the other and arrived infront of the dungeon.
I guess he is somewhat strong! But not stronger than me, he only beat me last time because he cheated. What he did was impressive but I'm sure that I can do it as well! No one knew what was going on, in Athena's head.
"Nice work" Akira congratulated Henry as they walked into the portal.
