"No, better to wait if I need it later" I said to myself, giving my left upper limb a pitiful look.
*shudder*
Out of nowhere, the whole Hall shook uncontrollably, but you must of cracked the walls and floor more, what it did was to close the holes and cracks, being now a perfect floor.
The remains of the pillars disappeared into the darkness, thus being a clear ground.
I chuckled at this event, after all, who wouldn't feel proud after destroying an entire Hall with sheer power? I, personally, felt quite proud about it.
*drool*.
A liquid, or rather, a rain of black liquid began to rise above the Throne where the king sat. You must of wet the King's body, rather his body began to absorb the liquid, gradually transforming the king's skin into a rather dark black one.
"Well, I'll take on another creature of the Abyss, great" I commented aloud, getting into my typical fighting stance.
*QUAKE*
The whole area shook more terribly, a jolt that even I was getting a little off balance, but I didn't let it affect my concentration now fully directed towards my possibly opponent.
*squeak*
The lifeless eyes of the big goblin began to glow an intense blue color, it glowed so brightly that it blinded me for a second.
Fortunately the goblin didn't take advantage of this opportunity, but was concentrating on absorbing the black liquid falling on him, which was obviously darkness or at least something very similar to it.
*Squeak*.
The King finally started to lift his big body, which I slowly realized was about three meters tall.... Complete madness, how the fuck am I going to give them mortal wounds if he's more than twice as tall as I am!
The field was flat, so I couldn't lean on anything to reach his chest or neck, I could only take my big leaps, but that would leave me very exposed to an upcoming enemy attack.
Multiple ideas came to my mind, one by one, the one I saw most convenient I optimized it and so I would choose the best, all this course of mental actions took only a few seconds where the King was now completely straight about 18 meters from me, before it was 20 but as he had stood up, he shortened a bit
the distance.
"Hmph, don't you think it's much better to resolve this as peacefully as possible?" I asked, being a completely peaceful being who hates battles, why not resolve this complicated one by talking civilly?
...
...
...
No answer reached my ears, in fact he didn't even look at me, I didn't even exist for his eyes. That at the same time hurt my pride, this simple creature of the lower abyss dares to ignore me? It's simply ridiculous!
"Fuck it!!!, I'll kill you for your foul mouth and disrespect" I declared, I felt a little bad for not resolving things peacefully as I wanted to, but, I was forced to come to this.
*Dull sound*.
I was running like a bullet, my speed now was completely something else compared to my normal state before, if I had to compare, my physical capabilities are at the same level as when I was previously breaking my nose, ribs and a few more cuts.
So in a split second I got to where the King was, with my Duranvil in my left hand, so I performed a side slash when he was in range of my attack, I aimed for his right leg because I couldn't get much further.
*Dull thud
My Duranvil slashed, yes, slashed, but the air. There was no sign that I had used mana or anything like that, since defeating the shadow had made me more sensitive to mana, so, if it wasn't that.... That means what...
I could not finish my thoughts as I felt an immense danger at my back, causing me to start running again, I could feel the attack brushing my back, but the same wind behind the attack blew me away. The wind behind that blow was such that it altered my internal organs a little.
I didn't want to crash and hurt myself so soon, so I used my weapon to drive it into the ground, stopping my flight.
With this goblin I also felt the same urge to eat it or something, to kill it and absorb it, but unlike before, I had more control of my mind.
Possibly thanks to that feeling of wanting to eat it made my mind more sensitive in my battle against the Shadow, angering me easily, but now it was different, I was much calmer than before.
In this case I wasn't going to get hurt so easily, sure, I need to get hurt to gain power, but at least I want to give him a wound or two before it comes to that.
With my intentions clear in my mind, I turned my body to meet the King again, who was standing there as if nothing had happened, making me squint my eyes.
If I don't use a domain to disappear, that means I use pure speed to dodge my attack without even being able to see him and also he came to my blind spot attacking from there, it's, without a doubt, something terrifying that he can do all that and without me seeing anything.
*Sprint*
I moved again towards the King at a higher speed than before, possibly by altering my organs my speed improved, and it was because I didn't give it all when I made my first sprint towards him.
Anyway, I didn't think much about it, I made the same moves as before to make a side cut that again, he dodges it without me even being able to see, but ... Would I do all this just to make him dodge me again?
'Absolutely NO!'
I turned my body to where my blind spot was, to see the King preparing his attack, a fist coming towards me, but I didn't give much importance to his actions, as I was sure he was going to counter it....
