Chapter 589: Killing the Hobgoblins

Theo smiled when he saw his spear piercing the hobgoblin's body. This would significantly reduce the hobgoblin's fighting capability…or so he thought.

Suddenly, the hobgoblin spun his upper body and punched him. 

Enrica's shield and his Ring of Honor had blocked it, but the hobgoblin poured all the aura in his body to his hand, enhancing it to the very limit. The two shields shattered in an instant as he flew to the side. 

Enrica started sweating and hurriedly clapped her hands. "Grand Cross!"

A golden cross emerged from the ground as chains began to appear out of nowhere, tying the hobgoblin to the cross. Meanwhile, Enrica made her way to Theo to check his condition. 

"Kh." Theo clicked his tongue and checked his body. "Luckily, I managed to use my External Flow and Telekinesis to get away, or that one would be fatal. Is this truly the power of a Rare Class level 430 Hobgoblin?"

Theo coughed a few times as Enrica enveloped his body with golden light, recovering all sorts of external injuries.

"To be honest, I am not very sure as well. This is certainly far too big of a difference to a normal Rare Class Monster." Enrica shook her head. 

"So, it's stronger than usual?" Theo raised his eyebrows.

"Yes. I am afraid we need some adjustment to our plans if the other Rare Class Goblins are like this."

"Whatever. I need to kill that one first." Theo sighed and poured his Magic Power into his bracelet. It soon formed a spear that perfectly matched his hand. 

Theo took a deep breath and raised his spear. "I am going to be serious for a bit."

"Understood." Enrica stepped back, allowing Theo to move. 

Theo looked at the hobgoblin that managed to break free from the restraints and inhaled the air as much as possible. 

He approached the hobgoblin with confidence and hurriedly stepped to the left when the latter almost pounded him. After that, he thrust his spear, which was blocked by the hobgoblin's sword. Due to the Magic Power Expansion covering his spear, Theo's swing managed to stop the sword. 

At the same time, Magic Bullets looped around Theo's body and hit the hobgoblin's body. If this were a normal attack, the hobgoblin would only suffer some grazes, albeit this wasn't.

All the Magic Bullets hit the same spot. It was right at the spear planted on his body. 

Boom. 

The explosion shook the injury and made the wound bigger. 

"Kroar!" The hobgoblin roared and tried to push him back, but Theo used his spear as support to launch himself into the air, situating himself at the hobgoblin's eye level. 

After that, he waved his spear from the side. Surprisingly, a curved blade appeared on the side of his blade and turned the spear into a scythe. 

Theo waved his spear right at his neck, forcing the hobgoblin to raise his sword to block it. Unfortunately for him, the curved blade was only an illusion. 

The scythe passed through the blade as Theo's spear returned to its original form and slit its arm.

The hobgoblin screamed in pain as it punched Theo from the other side. 

Theo used his shield to stop it and Telekinesis to fly around it. Then, he raised his hand and made another scythe with his Illusion Construct. 

He waved this scythe with his left hand and ended up getting stopped by the hobgoblin's hand. 

Seeing the smile on the hobgoblin's face as if he had just won, Theo smiled as the scythe disappeared, showing the goblin it was just another illusion and the fact he felt it was due to him manipulating his senses.

Theo used his Blink to appear behind him while using his Magic Augmentation to enhance his next attack. He pointed at the hobgoblin's back and summoned his Magic Bullets, combining it to one. 

Obviously, the hobgoblin didn't let Theo do whatever he wanted. He hurriedly spun his body to smash him, but Theo followed his movement with his Telekinesis and fired the Magic Bullet right next to his wound. 

Boom. 

The powerful explosion pushed Theo's spear deeper and twisted it to the side, forcing the organ inside his body to move. At the same time, there was a huge burn wound on his back, and his blood began to flow like a fountain.

"Gar!" The hobgoblin felt that one last hit as it was too painful for him to even scream.

It finally fell on his knees, and Theo pierced his neck. 

Although the hobgoblin tried to stop Theo, it didn't have enough strength nor speed to parry Theo's last spear. 

"One—" Before Theo finished and the notification appeared, the hobgoblin's head moved, slamming Theo with that forehead.

Theo wasn't surprised this time because he never lowered his guard down before he saw a killing notification. And Enrica managed to react as well. 

She formed a shield in front of him, blocking the headbutt completely. 

Seeing her shield didn't shatter, she couldn't help but sigh. "Finally, it can withstand the power…" 

[Killed a Hobgoblin.]

[EXP+140,850]

"Thanks, but—" Theo disappeared in the instant he saw the notification, making his way toward the second hobgoblin. Luckily, Ava and his clone managed to injure him quite badly, and they managed to avoid all the hobgoblin's schemes because the real body experienced it first. 

Theo joined the fight for three minutes and killed him. 

[Killed a Hobgoblin.]

[EXP+140,850]

Seeing the notification, Theo fell on his butt while panting. He turned to Ava and asked, "Are there any more monsters hiding around here?"

"Kyu." Ava shook her head calmly after rechecking it with her ears. She had a little bit of concern about Theo's finding, but she didn't mention anything.

Hearing that answer made Theo let out a sigh of relief. "I guess our part is done."

"Yes. Let me heal you a bit." Enrica nodded and approached him. 

Theo nodded back and allowed her whatever she needed to do. The two Hobgoblins were indeed hard to defeat.

"Ava, gonna eat—" Before Theo finished his words, Ava already took a bite of the hobgoblin's body before spitting it out like it was terrible.

"Ava?" Theo tilted his head in confusion. 

Ava crossed her feet as if telling him that it wasn't good. 

"Haha." Theo chuckled and said, "We will regroup with the others after my wounds are healed then."

"It's gonna take only two minutes," Enrica added calmly.

"You don't want me to take a breather, don't you?"
