Chapter 17 Ch 17 : Killing Hobgoblins
Arcana mob Ch 19
Cade slowly exhaled a breath of air as he eyed the Hobgoblins, whose getting nearer and nearer.
It was the final part of the test, and no mistakes should be tolerated here.
As he raised his hand to transfer the command into Spectre Dullahan, within the interior of the spectre Dullahan's body, the bluish flame was getting bigger than ever.
Threads of surging, bluish flame came out and circulated. Finally, it surged out of his body, and suddenly the strength of spectre Dullahan increased several times.
In the examiner room, Isabel and Elizabeth watch this scene with eyes full of interest.
So it seems that until now, Cade has not yet shown his full power.
The sword that was held by the spectre Dullahan was now covered by the bluish flame. This powerful flame caused the surrounding air to distort a bit, and even Luna was caught by surprise.
" So you are hiding your ability, huh?"

" I'm not hiding my ability.... I'm just not doing it because I don't think it was necessary. After all, I still don't think that I could match you even now."
" Heh, what a glib tongue.." Luna chuckled as she heard Cade's answer.
Luna was a bit amused by Cade's answer.
It was true, though. Cade, even after putting all his skill to the table, would at most be in the middle of Rank (III) while Luna was at the peak of Rank (III) or even Rank (IV).
Cade raised his head while calculating the distance between the four hobgoblins and Spectre Dullahan. He tilted his head toward Luna and said faintly, "Let's stop wasting any more time. We must finish them before the big boss move."
"Sure, cover me." Luna nodded slightly. Golden-colored Daura surged out from her body. An eye-piercing golden glow caused her to be as radiant as the sun, appearing extremely conspicuous.
In her current state, Luna perfectly looked like the main heroine of the game.
Cade nodded his head as he sensed the fierce aura erupting explosively from Luna.
With Cade's command, Spectre Dullahan lifted his foot slightly and immediately stomped it on the ground. The sound of energy exploding appeared from the bottom of his foot as he immediately turned into a black-colored gale that shot fiercely toward one of the Hobgoblins.
"Roarrr!"
The intense pressure of Spectre Dullahan blew against the Hobgoblin. The Hobgoblin, however, held no fear.
With an eery laugh, the blade on its hand moved like a snake that shot toward the Spectre Dullahan's body in an extremely ruthless manner.
"Clang!"
The two attacks clashed with each other as the Hobgoblin's blade fell on Spectre Dullahan's sword. The force contained in the attack was so strong that it caused the hand that Spectre Dullahan used to hold the sword to tremble slightly.
But it was not the end. The Hobgoblin was not yet ready to let go. His hand suddenly shook and moved at a speed that was very hard to see with bare eyes. Finally, it turned into a fiendish attack that strangely moved around the sword and pierced Spectre Dullahan's head from behind.
But here, the Hobgoblin had made a mistake.
Against anyone else, the attack might pose a significant danger, but he forgot the fact that Spectre Dullahan was at the essence a Dullahan, and it didn't possess a head.
The attack flashed without hitting anything, and instead it had made the Hobgoblin be open against Spectre Dullahan's attack.
The Hobgoblin's attack that had a silver glow passed through the air.
Cade had already sensed that the attack would not hit anything, so he wasn't panicking.
Therefore, he just stood there watching the battle unfold, and only after the attack missed and the Hobgoblin was open that he give his instruction.
" Spectre Dullahan, Sword Slash!"
Immediately, Spectre Dullahan's body had a change. A powerful, bluish color flame surged out fiercely. In an instant, it agglomerated into a blue colour sword-like aura that tightly wrapped around his sword.
The sword swiftly hit the Hobgoblin's body, and the next moment it knew, the Hobgoblin's torso had severed from its leg, and it could only let out a shrieked cry before it vanished as the Hobgoblin was killed under Cade and Spectre Dullahan's hand.
But Cade was a bit careless here. The battle was not one on one. Rather, it was one against many.
Just when the first Hobgoblin was killed, the second appeared below Spectre Dullahan, ready to give a killing blow.
Fortunately, Cade was fast enough to respond. He controlled some of the fire to block the Hobgoblin's attack, and the attack only left some tiny marks on the surface of Spectre Dullahan's breastplate armor.
The first grave danger was avoided, and Spectre Dullahan abruptly took a step forward.
The fire surrounding his body had almost instantly disappeared. He swung the sword in his hand horizontally and an enormous force, which carried the sharp sound of air being cut violently, smashed toward the Hobgoblin's head.
*Swoosh*
The attack barely missed the Hobgoblin's head, but the terrifying force created by the swinging of the sword caused the Hobgoblin to take a step back.
Those monsters generated here were programmed to be fearless, but the attack just now could easily kill him if he didn't avoid it.
Yet, now was the time for the Hobgoblin to be careless.
A golden-colored glow suddenly came out from behind. With a 'chi' sound, a blinding light flashed and the Hobgoblin's head was severed from its body. Nonetheless, the speed of this attack was so fast that it left people somewhat speechless.
Standing on the top of the disappearing Hobgoblin corpse was Luna. Her face clearly shown some traces of fatigue after killing the Hobgoblin. Yet, her eyes shone brighter than ever, and now she was ready for the last Goblin boss.
