Chapter 13 - Empire In Ruins 6

Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered without much of a resistance whatsoever, even if they possessed overwhelming advantage in every aspect, made the Goblin King shivered on instinct.

"DAMN, YOU MONSTER."

The goblin knight captain, the one leading the group charging at Kanzen screamed in rage after witnessing his men being one-sidedly bested.

He felt ashamed knowing that his King and Queen is watching his squad's shameful display.

Consumed by rage towards Kanzen's one-sided slaughter, he leaped from his spot, leaving behind a massive crack on the ground where he once stood.

He appeared beside Kanzen.

His action looked like teleportation to others due to the unbelievable speed displayed.

He swings the huge great sword, aiming it straight to Kanzen's neck.

Unbeknownst to the awe observers, such overpowered display cost him dearly, his bones and muscles sustained heavy injuries.

Some of these injuries were even unrecoverable using simple means, the knight captain knew this very well.

But still push forward determined to recover his stained honor.

The surprised attack almost escaped Kanzen's line of perception, even though he is in a state of thought acceleration where his perception is multiplied a thousand times.

He almost couldn't react to the attack.

This was due to the massive difference in their respective stats.

The only reason he could fight them is due to his overwhelming superiority in combat experience and mastery over the sword and martial arts.

He did also possess a long line of history when it comes to fighting massive armies all by himself, compared to what he had faced before this group of goblins playing tricks here and there were like children running around in a park.

Unable to dodge or deflect the incoming attack.

Moreover, his item skills [Intangible] and [Teleportation] were still in cooldown.

He also couldn't use reflection because he wouldn't be immune to the damage he'll receive from the attack.

Kanzen was pushed to a corner, or so it seems.

Just as the great sword was about to reach him, a sudden calming aura emerged from his body.

Kanzen's response is [Monarch's Mystic Belt] it's skill <> taking advantage of its extra effect (Note: Upon activation the user will possess a 1.5 second invulnerability.)

He ignored the goblin captain's attack, that did hit hard in his neck.

The goblin knight captain's eyes widened, his jaws opening wide in disbelief.

"No way!"

Still in a state of shock the goblin knight captain couldn't possibly react, to Kanzen's quick counter-attack that had already been launched at the same time as the great sword hit his neck.

The [Azure Dragon Sword] easily sliced through the goblin knight captain's throat as it pushed forward cutting through the veins and bones before the head was completely separated from the body.

Blood spurted out from the head that's still midair as it slowly turned into dust.

To others observing the exchange, time seems to have slowed to a crawl as everyone's gaze was glued to the disappearing figure of the goblin knight captain.

Kanzen then kicks the slowly dispersing body using it as a shield to block the incoming barrage of arrows that came from the camp where the Goblin Queen was at.

The first to react and the most affected by the unexpected turn of events were the knights surrounding Kanzen, their expressions grave while some were even twisted.

Seeing that everyone is distracted Kanzen took action not wanting to waste such an opportunity.

He did a sword stance, the aura around him changing.

<> [Grandmaster Level]

Slaughter Feast, is a high-speed continuous blade slash that resembles a drunken man randomly slashing a sword.

Kanzen performed his <> technique.

Sword slashes began on appearing in every possible area overwhelming the enemies that receive his sword strikes.

In less than a second, more than twenty goblin knights nearest to him were either punctured to death or have their vital spots cut that led to their deaths.

The remaining goblin knights that survived the first barrage of attacks or those that were too far for his attacks to reach tried defending against the technique.

But to their dismay the sword strikes were too random and unpredictable, trying to parry or counter the attacks is completely impossible.

He continues on killing every goblin knights around him, a wide grin on his beautifully handsome cute childish face.

(A/N Kanzen's current look is that of a young boy below the age of 10.

His appearance and features changed completely after he received his true name; either way, he still possessed the same beautifully handsome face as before.

Sorry I forgot to point it out in earlier chapters.)

The observers from afar gazed at the now completely silent battlefield in either dismay and astonishment.

Each observed has varying reactions.

But the one who has the greatest reaction among everyone is the unknown hooded black cat using a telescope to view the battlefield from a far distance.

She couldn't fathom how a young boy clearly younger than her possessed such monstrous power and overwhelming combat experience.

She has been raised to be a weapon since birth, yet she couldn't do the same thing the young boy has been doing.

Even when she compared the young boy to the strongest person in her Familia, her father she knew that if they fought each other her father would surely lose the fight one-sidedly.

She now began to doubt the young boy's origin.

"Who is he, how can he possess such power?"

[They should be here at any moment]

Tina murmured, and as if in response to her words, the sound of numerous heavy footsteps echoing throughout the entire ruined city shook the ground in their every step.

[They did make sure to corner you~]

Tina said in amusement. She wasn't worried in the slightest, while the previous battles looked like close calls, the truth of the matter Kanzen hadn't even displayed more than 20% of his capabilities.

He only used pure techniques and item skills his mana reserves and spiritual reserves weren't even touched.

"They sure did, big sis, Tina~ haha, haha!"

Kanzen couldn't help but let out a loud laugh, after seeing the drastic actions, the goblin empire committed just to bring him down.

[The previous goblin knight squad you confronted earlier seems to be the sacrificial group assigned to buy time, especially for this very moment]

"That seems to be the case, no wonder they are too desperate."

What appeared before Kanzen were thousands of Goblins that gave off a terrifying murderous aura occupying the four cardinal directions, making sure to cut every possible escape spot.

The first were the [[Savage Goblin Knights Squad]] a group of knights mainly created for the sole purpose of conquering and slaughtering the Goblin Empire's enemies.

This group is recognized as the strongest knight squadron of the Goblin Empire, they only listen to the direct command of their Goblin King.

Following behind them are goblins equipped with bows and arrows, radiating a strong and oppressive magical power.

They are the [[Eagle Eye Archer Goblin Squad]] a group of archers mainly create for the sole purpose of information gathering and assassination.

This is the strongest archer squadron of the Goblin Empire, they only receive direct command from the Goblin Queen.

Following behind the two strongest squadrons are tens of thousands of goblins ranging from an elite hobgoblin, goblin champions and goblin knights, each one ranging from level 3 to 4 in power.

There were also several shamans situated at the farthest section of the frontline groups releasing a monstrous amount of magic power that made the surrounding natural mana tremble just from their mere presence.
