As Jin Hwa questioned the sudden appearance of the mysterious entity, the kobold leader wasted no time. With lightning speed, the leader charged and swung its long axe towards Jin Hwa. Reacting with a swift dodge, Jin Hwa managed to evade most of the blow, but the axe left a brief scratch on his face, a stark reminder of the dire situation.
Realization washed over him, and he knew it was no time for contemplation. With his glaive in hand, Jin Hwa engaged in a high-stakes duel with the leader of the kobolds, whose weapon was a formidable long axe.
The battle raged on in the dimly lit dungeon. The kobold leader, wielding its long axe, advanced with a relentless fury. Jin Hwa knew he was facing long odds, but he had no choice but to fight for his life.
The leader's axe came down with tremendous force, and Jin Hwa barely managed to parry the blow with his glaive, feeling the impact reverberate through his arms. He countered with a swift strike, attempting to find an opening, but the kobold leader expertly blocked it, showcasing its formidable skills.
Their blades clashed repeatedly, each strike from the leader's axe pushing Jin Hwa to his limits. He had to rely on his agility and precision to avoid being overwhelmed. In one particularly close call, the leader's axe narrowly missed Jin Hwa's side, leaving a deep gash on the ground.
Despite the odds stacked against him, Jin Hwa fought on, determination burning in his eyes. The clash of steel echoed through the dungeon as he struggled to gain the upper hand in this life-or-death battle against the formidable kobold leader.
The battle between Jin Hwa and the kobold leader was intense and prolonged. Both combatants were skilled and determined, and the fight raged on for a considerable duration.
Jin Hwa's glaive and the leader's long axe clashed repeatedly, with neither giving an inch. The strain and fatigue were evident on both sides, but they continued to exchange blows, each waiting for an opening to exploit.
In the end, it was a battle of attrition. Jin Hwa, realizing that he needed to conserve his strength for the ultimate challenge against Medusa, made a calculated move. With a quick feint, he disarmed the kobold leader and delivered a swift, incapacitating strike. The leader fell to the ground, defeated but still breathing.
Jin Hwa, victorious yet weary, took a moment to catch his breath. The leader of the kobolds had been vanquished, but he knew that the true challenge lay ahead with the encounter against Medusa.
Medusa's voice echoed with a mix of sadness and mischievousness as she questioned, "What did you do to my precious son?" Her laughter, infused with anger, filled the air as she prepared to engage Jin Hwa.
With a quick charge, Medusa advanced towards Jin Hwa. Anticipating her attack, Jin Hwa executed a timely dodge, narrowly avoiding her strike.
Medusa's disdainful voice cut through the tension, "You filthy insect!" The battle raged on as they clashed once more. Jin Hwa, determined to prevail, charged with his glaive, managing to land a precise strike that left a scratch on Medusa's form.
The fight continued as Jin Hwa sought to overcome the formidable Medusa, the stakes higher than ever in this perilous encounter.
In the midst of their fierce battle, Jin Hwa's determination shone through. He activated his skill, "Rapid Strike," combining it with his glaive. With precision, he aimed for the most formidable part of Medusa and pierced through, causing her to wince in pain.
Medusa, although wounded, taunted Jin Hwa with a simple phrase, "Is that all?" She continued to challenge him, goading him into more strikes.
Jin Hwa, undeterred, pressed on, delivering a series of rapid strikes with his glaive. But the tide of battle turned as Medusa seized an opportunity. With a sinister grin, she activated her skill, "Petrification." The moment Jin Hwa locked eyes with her, he felt the chilling grip of petrification taking hold.
Realizing the danger, Jin Hwa swiftly closed his eyes, avoiding the full effect of Medusa's power. The battle had taken an unexpected turn, and the stakes were higher than ever as he fought to overcome this formidable foe.
As Jin Hwa successfully averted Medusa's gaze, a sense of relief washed over him. Medusa, frustrated, stopped the petrification skill with a disdainful "Tsk, you cunning insect!"
Seizing the opportunity, Jin Hwa summoned all his strength and broke free from Medusa's grip. With a burst of determination, he wasted no time and charged at her once more.
In the heat of battle, Jin Hwa's thoughts raced, contemplating where to strike. Then, his gaze fell upon the vulnerable neck of Medusa, and a revelation hit him. He thought, "That's it, that's her weakness!" With newfound purpose, he aimed his glaive at Medusa's exposed neck, recognizing it as a potential point of weakness to exploit.
