Chapter 46 - Skull Shattering Blow

"Get ready!" Fuwa yelled, her heart pounding in her chest. She could feel the heat of the flames behind her, but there was no time to worry about that. The Goblin Chief lunged forward, brandishing his club.

Fuwa and Raven exchanged a quick glance, both recognizing the unspoken agreement to work together. With a shared nod, they sprang into action.

"『Aqua Shield』!" Raven cast her shield hoping it would withstand the strikes of the monster furious blows.

"Let's get him!" Fuwa shouted as she charged straight at Thraaig, aiming to distract him. She feigned a kick to his head but quickly dropped low, sweeping his legs out from under him. The goblin chief stumbled but managed to stay on his feet, rage fueling his momentum.

At the same time, Raven launched herself at Thraaig's side, hoping to take advantage of the distraction. She didn't had that much magical energies in her, so she had to use her spells on the best moments now, using the strike that her companion gave to the goblin she charged with her dagger but the strike was parried by the monster mace, sending Raven tumbling backward. 

Fuwa seized the opportunity, following up with a relentless series of punches aimed at Thraaig's midsection. Each hit landed with a satisfying thud, but the creature's tough hide absorbed most of the damage, his thick muscles barely flinching. Thraaig retaliated with a backhand swipe, catching Fuwa off balance and sending her sprawling to the ground, the shield broke absorbing the brunt of the monster attack. 

"Fuwa!" Raven yelled, her voice filled with concern as she saw her companion hit the dirt. In that instant, the Goblin Chief turned his attention toward her, his fierce eyes glowing with malice. She dashed forward, narrowly avoiding a swing of Thraaig's mace as she lunged to stab at his exposed side. The blade bit into his flesh, drawing a pained roar from the creature.

Thraaig swung around, furious and desperate to retaliate while bringing his mace down with terrifying force. Raven barely managed to duck beneath the attack, rolling to the side to evade the crushing blow.

"Fuwa, get up damn it!" Raven shouted, urgency lacing her voice. Fuwa shook her head, gathering her bearings, feeling the ache in her muscles but knowing she had to stand.

Fuwa gritted her teeth, pushing herself back up. She glanced around, seeing the chaos of the goblin camp still raging. Flames flickered, goblins killed each other, and the boss had a terrifying smile on his face, he was starting to think he could overpower the girls and get some new toys to break, Fuwa felt a surge of determination. "Let's finish this!"

The monster began to walk towards them, swinging its mace back and forth as if it were just stretching. 

...

...

...

There was a small pause, and then he charged with all his strength, he was aiming toward Raven's skull, if he could just kill her, then he could easily overpower Fuwa and rape her to his heart's content, the plan was simple, brutal, and disgusting. But Raven evaded the swing, the strike barely touching her forehead and causing blood to spill from the wound, she used the chance and threw a low kick to the monster balls with all her might. 

"As if I would not play dirty against a fucking goblin!" She said with a wicked smile on her face. 

Thraaig let out a guttural roar, his eyes widening in shock as Raven's foot connected with his groin. The force of the kick sent the massive goblin stumbling backward, a pained expression crossing his grotesque face as he clutched at his injured area.

"Now, Fuwa!" Raven shouted, her voice sharp with urgency as she quickly regained her balance.

Seizing the opportunity, Fuwa charged forward, her heart racing. "I'm coming for you, Thraaig!" she yelled, determination fueling her every step. She could see the Goblin Chief staggering, his confidence shaken for the first time in their encounter.

Fuwa unleashed a flurry of rapid punches aimed at Thraaig's midsection. Each blow landed with a resounding thud, the sound echoing through the chaos of the camp. The Goblin Chief struggled to defend himself, swinging his mace wildly in an attempt to fend her off, but his strikes were growing increasingly desperate.

"Get back up, you ugly brute! This is for all the girls you have tormented!" Fuwa taunted, her voice rising above the cacophony. She ducked under another wild swing, dodging to the side and launching a powerful uppercut that caught Thraaig squarely on the jaw.

Thraaig's head snapped back, and he staggered again, fury now mingling with frustration. The enraged goblin swung his mace one more time, but this time it was a wild and uncoordinated strike. Raven took the opening to rush in, darting to Thraaig's side and slashing with her dagger. The blade sank into his side, drawing more of his foul, dark blood. In a furious desperate move, he managed to grab Raven by her neck and began lifting her, to which the cat girl spat on his face. 

Fuwa didn't waste a second; she followed up with a knee strike aimed at Thraaig's stomach, forcing him to release her companion, then quickly pivoted to deliver a powerful kick to his head. The force sent the Goblin Chief crashing to the ground, and Fuwa felt a surge of exhilaration. Raven coughed, and breathed heavily as air filled her lungs again. 

But Thraaig wasn't finished yet. He pushed himself up from the ground, his fury renewed. As Thraaig roared and charged again, they moved in sync, each of them anticipating the other's movements. Fuwa feigned a punch to distract him while Raven circled to his rear.

Thraaig lunged at Fuwa, swinging his mace with a force that threatened to take her out of the fight for good. But Fuwa ducked under the blow, rolling to the side just as Raven struck from behind.

"『Fire Butterfly Swarm』!" This time the spell didn't miss it's mark, Raven fell to the ground struck by a heavy headache, while on her knees she smiled looking at the charred back of the rex monster. 

The fiery butterflies fizzled out as Thraaig roared in pain, smoke rising from his singed skin, the monster then screamed something that sounded like a bunch of curses but neither of them could understand him, and neither wanted to understand him.

"You" Said Fuwa taking a battle pose once again "You are already dead"

Fuwa moved with all her energy, standing before him she used her hips to empower her last blow, landing squarely on his face, producing a thunderous sound as bone, tissue, and brain matter jumped everywhere. His massive body hitting the earth with a heavy thud.

Fuwa stood panting, adrenaline coursing through her veins as she took in the sight of Thraaig's lifeless body sprawled across the ground. The chaos of the goblin camp began to fade into a strange silence, punctuated only by the crackling of the flames and the distant sounds of retreating goblins. She could hardly believe what they had just accomplished.

"Did we really…?" Raven gasped, her voice shaky as she slowly got to her feet, clutching her head where the headache still lingered.

"Yeah, we did! We took down that monster!" Fuwa exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across her face.

The rest of the goblins stopped fighting, and seeing their boss dead they began to scatter. Fuwa ran and hugged Raven while jumping with happiness, the expedition to the first floor was successful. 

"Let go of me you brute!" Said Raven with a light blush trying to get away from her companion embrace but she was way stronger than her physically, she wasn't used to this, tho it wasn't bad she wasn't going to admit it.
