Chapter 229 Yukino's Feeling of Powerlessness
Despite the fierce attack from the two giant goblins, Xia Sheng remained calm and drew his katana once more.
He drew his blade, returned the scabbard to the prop box, gripped the hilt with both hands, and stepped towards them.
The katana clashed head-on with one of the clubs.
There was no clash of forces, only a difference in weaponry.
The club was cut in two, but the katana continued its momentum, slashing upwards diagonally, aiming straight for the goblin's neck.
Call out!
At that moment, another goblin swung its giant club with a gust of wind.
Xia Sheng glanced around warily, then changed the target of his katana, engaging the large club.
Similarly, this large club could not withstand the sharpness of the katana and was cut in two.
But this giant goblin was dangerous. Without attacking or disturbing Xia Sheng, he lightly leaped up, drew a circle with his katana, and raised it high.
As Xia Sheng's body began to descend, the katana also slashed down vertically.
Pfft!
The blade flashed from the goblin's head down to his groin without any obstruction.
As Xia Sheng landed, a wound opened on the goblin's body, and purple blood sprayed out along a straight line down its spine.
Like the recoil of spurting blood, the goblin slowly fell backward.
Xia Sheng ignored it and turned to the other goblin with his knife, slashing horizontally at its incoming fist.
Click!
A flash of silver light, and an arm flew up, spraying purple liquid from the severed end.
Also spraying purple liquid was the goblin's half-arm.
It grieved and cried out, clutching its wound, unable to launch another attack.
Xia Sheng didn't rush to deal with it. Instead, he raised his left hand, palm facing the magical goblin in the distance.
Its magical attack has already begun.
It was a huge green wind blade, slashing down vertically.
Xia Sheng quickly gathered magic power, condensed a wind blade, and used it to meet the attack.
The two collided instantly, causing the wind element to spread and creating a storm.
The same magic would naturally not result in a one-sided situation. After a few seconds of stalemate, the wind blades exploded simultaneously, and magical energy swept around.
Xia Sheng stood motionless in the wind.
The magic goblin was no match for it. Even though it was far away, it was still caught in the storm. Its small body was powerless to resist. It was sent flying and crashed hard into the deep stone wall before falling heavily to the ground.
Seeing that it was not moving, Xia Sheng guessed that it was temporarily unable to cast magic, so he slowly walked towards the goblin.
The goblin's strong body could withstand the storm, but it was injured and had no time to worry about anything else.
The pain of losing an arm can only be understood and endured by those who aspire to be king.
Goblins won't do.
If the goblin could speak human language and clutched its arm while shouting "My King's Power," Xia Sheng might have spared its life. After all, if it could say that, there might be some connection between them.
Unfortunately, it can only suffer pain and lament.
Xia Sheng approached it, without leaving any ink marks, and with a swift movement, the knife fell.
Immediately, a round, green object fell to the ground and rolled twice.
Where it rolled, it left a purple trail.
*Pfft*
Immediately afterwards, the headless goblin sprayed purple liquid from its neck like a fountain.
Xia Sheng was close by and got soaked by the purple rain. He didn't try to avoid it, letting the purple raindrops fall on his face. He even opened his mouth and swallowed some of it.
Blood flowed from his throat into his stomach, and his awakened skill, Devour, activated automatically, instantly digesting it.
However, Xia Sheng felt nothing at all.
He had anticipated this, and planned to devour more in the future, hoping that little by little it would have an effect.
After all, the fact that the Devour skill is activated means that it can continue to absorb.
He had considered devouring them all at once, but he couldn't handle it. Although goblin blood wasn't foul-smelling, it didn't taste good either.
It's not grape juice.
Furthermore, he didn't believe that the ability could be regained by the quantity of just one goblin; it should be the sum of the quantities of different goblins.
Xia Sheng strode deeper into the magical goblin, which had not yet risen.
Mages are physically weak, so they need companions for cover and can only attack from a distance.
The idea of cultivating both magic and martial arts is still too authoritative.
Xia Sheng arrived in front of the magic goblin, his figure enveloping it.
In the shadows, the magic goblin raised its head and stared at him menacingly.
Its cloak had been lifted, and its appearance was no different from that of a goblin, with the same green skin and the same hideous appearance.
Xia Sheng remained indifferent, ignoring its gaze, and swung his katana, making a light slash.
The goblin's head has been moved.
He dealt with all six goblins in a short amount of time.
However, recalling the expression of that special goblin from before, he did not let his guard down, but instead kept an eye on the changes in this space.
There was no reaction for a long time.
It should be the same as before, with only six goblins.
He put the katana back into his item box, squatted down, dipped his finger in the goblin's blood, and then swallowed it.
The blood was rapidly absorbed, but there was no reaction.
Xia Sheng got up and walked towards the peculiar goblin corpse, swallowing a little of its blood as well.
The result is the same.
"Natsuo, why do you still drink their blood?" Mai Sakurajima came to his side and asked in confusion.
The crisis has passed, and she and Kaguya Shinomiya no longer need to hide on the edge.
"I want to see if consuming them a few more times will enhance the abilities I gain from them," Xia Sheng explained.
"I see." Mai Sakurajima nodded, her gaze lingering on his lips.
"What's wrong?" Xia Sheng noticed her gaze.
"I was wondering if Yukino and the others were thinking about how you drank the blood of the invaders when they kissed you," Mai Sakurajima replied.
"...Mai-senpai, why are you also concerned about this kind of thing?" Natsumi looked at her helplessly.
"Hehe~ Anyway, there's nothing I can do, so I can only let my mind wander."
"Really? Then you'll be able to experience it for yourself later."
Mai Sakurajima suddenly fell silent.
Xia Sheng looked at her and noticed she seemed a little shy, so he couldn't help but laugh: "Mature Mai-senpai, you can be shy too?"
"No, it won't." Mai Sakurajima adjusted her expression and replied calmly.
"Is that so?" Xia Sheng didn't expose him.
"As a junior, how can you be so arrogant?" Sakurajima Mai couldn't stand his gaze and glared at him in embarrassment and anger.
"Who told you that the senior looks easy to bully?" Xia Sheng joked.
"You said it yourself? I'll show you what I'm capable of later."
"Then I'll be looking forward to it."
"...We're leaving." Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly interrupted.
He couldn't stand their flirting anymore; why were they acting like she didn't exist?
"Looks like we still can't get to the third floor." Mai Sakurajima looked down at her blurred feet, her tone helpless.
"I'll go sooner or later."
"I'm a little unwilling to accept this."
"This..." Xia Sheng didn't know how to answer.
Mai Sakurajima is unwilling to be inferior to Yukino Yukinoshita and the other two.
"Hehe~ Don't overthink it, I'll catch up with them sooner or later." Mai Sakurajima smiled.
"Okay." Xia Sheng nodded, offering encouragement.
"Then we're off. Good luck, don't get hurt."
"Xia Sheng, please be safe."
"Bye-Bye."
Watching the two disappear on the spot, Xia Sheng took a deep breath, wiped the purple liquid off his face, cleaned it, and then turned and walked towards the entrance to the third level.
What follows is a tough battle.
Upon arriving at the third floor, Xia Sheng immediately felt that the air was much fresher, and he once again marveled at the incredible nature of this floor.
Before long, two otherworldly figures appeared out of thin air.
"Natsuo."
"Xia Sheng, we're here~"
"Hmm, are you ready for a tough battle?" Natsumi asked the two of them in a relaxed tone.
"I can't be of much help, it's up to you guys." Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.
"No problem, leave it to us. Natsumi and I are invincible together!" Shiina Mahiru said confidently.
Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and did not respond.
The feeling of helplessness she had felt before once again enveloped her heart.
