The loss of their powerful leader dejected the remaining goblins some even run without looking back afraid to be the next to perish.
But for the majority of the goblins seeing that the powerful enemy that has the power to kill their leader was injured they decided to gamble and stay to continue fighting.
Waiting for an opportunity to attack.
In this world power is everything, either the one to hunt or be hunted sentient creatures, monsters, beasts, demons, etc.
For monsters to become more powerful they need to devour a powerful being and now in front of them is a powerful injured being, definitely stronger than their previous leader.
What would happen if they devour this being, they'll surely become a stronger version of themselves.
That's what they all thought, for those that decide to gamble their lives and stay.
Unfortunately, for them, they did not account that Kai had predicted all of these, the same goes for their response, they aren't smart or perceptive enough to figure such a complicated trap.
He is only pretending to have been weakened.
He surely is injured but such injury isn't enough to stop him completely from subduing everyone.
The only thing that isn't a lie in his action is the pain he is experiencing but such pain isn't really that much he had feel worse than this.
He had already deduced the most efficient way for him to kill the most goblins and to do that he only needed a bit of time to contain them.
Sacrificing his right arm might be foolish to the eyes of many yet in his eyes it's nothing but a small price to pay for more loot.
He still has his trait [Undying Body] that basically turned him into an immortal.
Even so his actions are still excessive.
You can say he is a bit of a madman and a masochist.
Right now he is suppressing his trait's automatic regeneration to not alert the goblins.
At the same time unbeknownst to everyone present in the area 'Tessa and the Goblins' a wide range sealing spell that should encompass a hundred meters of diameter is slowly spreading around centering him.
One of the impatient goblins rushed at him.
He had already predicted this outcome.
He raised his remaining arm and a green crescent shaped blade manifested before launching itself to the rushing goblin cutting the fella into two pieces in an instant without much of a resistance whatsoever.
Seeing these events unfold the hesitating goblins decided to flee.
Unfortunately, for them, they were already too late to do anything.
[[Absolute Isolation Array]]
A green circular barrier centering him risen blocking anyone from escaping physically, spirituality or with the use of spatial abilities.
The absolute isolation array is one of his most price research.
Keee!
Keee!
Keee!
The goblins that tried fleeing punch and punch the green barrier only to have their skin be burnt by the high pressure heat waves coming from the barrier.
The barrier uses the traits of the elements to isolate an entire space.
Hardness of the earth.
Sharpness of the wind.
Thickness of the water.
Heat of the fire.
However, there's a downside to this ability and it's that the user is included to the ones being imprisoned.
Only four elements for now.
He plans to enhance his spells more to adjust to this world's standards.
Back on Earth he was limited due to the lack of research materials and available research elements.
Now that he finds himself in a world where mana and other energies such as divine energy is vibrant nothing is stopping him from reaching heights he could only dreamed of before.
"Sir… Kai…"
He heard a familiar voice calling out for him.
He look to his right a bit farther to where the voice came from, there he saw the worried look on Tessa's beautiful face.
He just gave her a nod accompanied by a reassuring smile.
Seeing this Tessa let out a deep sigh of relief as she deflected another sneak attack from a goblin.
'It seems I worried for nothing. Sir Kai is really something else…'
She thought as she focused back on her own fight.
It look like I've underestimated her, she seems more capable that I thought.
To have the time to worry about others while not letting her guard down or dhow any openings she certainly has the talent.
Hope she wouldn't go falling in love to me.
I don't want to make a girl cry this early in my second life.
(Mc certainly is a bit of a narcissist.)
"So escape…"
He sighed looking back at the dozen or so goblins in panic trying to breakthrough the absolute isolation array.
"no matter…"
He sigh once again accepting the fact that he isn't as capable as before.
It's not like he is capable back on Earth.
He couldn't even heal his one and only love.
(I seem to have developed a dislike for my own mc #author-chan)
Satisfied with his catch Kai decided to stop the act as the back is already out of the bag.
His missing arm instantly regenerated.
The regeneration process is something else.
Instead of slowly reforming the missing cells, tissues, bones, flesh and skin what happens is more like creating a character in a game where a single press and a desirable part appears.
You can think of it like when a board (flat chested) female character suddenly having a massive G cup chest all of a sudden because the user wanted a big bobby.
His arm appeared just like that as if his trait 'Undying Body' is mocking his understanding of biology.
The strangeness of the situation stunned him for a second but thanks to his high speed thought process he was able to snap his trance.
But for the goblins after seeing the already terrifying enemy regaining his missing arm just like that, despair wash over them.
'Damn the energy cost is so high…'
He muttered when almost dropping to the ground after the instant regrowth of his missing arm.
This trait is a double edge sword, if a lost consciousness after completely depleting my energy when I regenerate I will be no better than a sitting duck awaiting to be slaughtered.
(Mc's thoughts kept wandering around I want to punch him)
One of the desperate goblins rushed at Kai who's in deep thought on how he could supplement the downside of his trait.
The goblin reach a few meter of distance near Kai and it raise it's dagger aiming for his throat.
Strangely enough Kai did not react in the slightest.
The goblin thought it could kill the terrifying humanoid monster.
But just as the dagger reached the skin of Kai's throat a impenetrable force stopped the dagger.
The goblin felt it had tried to stab a diamond, not a rock.
(Rock is boring and diamond is shiny, but diamond is also a rock.)
The moment the dagger reach a invisible barrier that seems impenetrable for the goblin's thought a invisible wave spread through Kai's entire body.
He shuddered a bit as the force of the goblins attack was spread across his entire body.
Yet after the slight shudder the wave that had spread seems to come to life before gathering once again this time back to the dagger and that is when it happened.
Boom!
The goblin that tried to stab Kai was thrown a few meters back and it only stopped when its body got smashed to the wall of the barrier.
/Dust settled/
What appeared before everyone's eyes made them subconsciously take a step back.
Kai even shakes his head to the result of his own action.
The goblin's entire arm was twisted in a weird angle as if someone had twisted it again and again repeatedly similar to how people dry clothes without the use of a dryer.
