Chapter 76 - Shadow Clones

Diving to the ground headfirst but then rotated and landed with their feet, the shadow clones prepared to assault the enemies located at the north gate. Jumping to the roofs and agility was well utilized. Making the four shadows run on the roofs while looking at the enemies.

Jumping again to another roof and with chains in their hands. Hasty as it seems, they were all in the race of time. Making them eliminate the enemies with just the four of them.

Just as they ran to the roofs, they also used the chains to stab the walls and propelled into the air. After it, they let go of the chains and summoned again for their next use.

Just as they leapt in the air, they saw the flooding enemies that started to burn the houses. The four shadow clones were all gathered and then stared at each other. With just their thoughts, they immediately know what to do and understood what the other one will think at that moment..

Nodding at each other, they dived towards the enemies. Leaping in the air, they all prepared to assault the enemies.

[Conjure daggers]

Conjuring daggers in-between their fingers then rained it to the enemies.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The enemies were all stabbed with their daggers. Hobgoblins and goblins alike. Making them in disarray and soon made them panic about where to go.

The four then landed and prepared their weapons. Whipping the chained daggers in the air and slashed the enemies with their fastest and most efficient.

The hobgoblins who were big and broad were all slashed vehemently as they have crude protections. Only leather armour was in their chest but their limbs were all unprotected.

Goblins then attacked them as they have seen their enemies were surrounded on all sides.

It was then, their slashes with their crude swords were all effortlessly evaded. Even with their best efforts to injure the four shadows, it was only a flick of their chained weapons to injure them.

It comes to worst as the Hobgoblins were all being rained with their slashes. Other shadows were also throwing daggers even with their point-blank range. Making it a more troublesome endeavour to kill them.

It was an all-out brawl that happened and the goblins were all retreating.

[Reverse slash]

[Reverse slash]

[Reverse slash]

[Reverse slash]

Left and right reverse slashes were executed. Ending their lives in an instant. It struck fear to the enemies as they were all powerless when it comes to their speed. The other shadows then started to chase the ones who were all starting to retreat for their lives. Making them show their backs.

With just a flick of their knives, they were struck in their heads. Others were on their backs and napes. Crashing their lifeless bodies to the ground as they all wanted to escape.

Hobgoblins then smashed their weapons into the shadows. Making them rotate up in the air and throw some daggers. The Hobgoblin then blocked some of them with his large club but some were stabbed in his thighs.

It was then, the shadow's stamina was wasted. Their movements were all stamina consuming to make their agility to the peak but it only made them pant a bit. Still not uttering a word but the four just only stared at each other. Nodding as they all concluded the next plan.

The four then attacked the mysterious Hobgoblin. Four of them dashed while in zigzag but they were all synchronised. One jumped at it while whipping his chained dagger to its face. But the enemy already knew about his attack and so it blocked with its club.

The other two whipped their chains and then entangled their feet. Making the two of the clones hold it tight. The other one used its skill shadow cloak to have a burst of speed. Appearing to its back and stabbed it.

It was then, it blocked his stab with its club. Making the clone let go of its weapon as it was stuck in the wooden club. The two who chained the Hobgoblin on its feet then pulled the chains.

It was then when they pulled the chains on its feet, it won't budge. Making the two to be pulled instead as the enemy pulled the chains by kicking the air opposite from their direction. Making the other two forcefully let go of it.

They panted as they felt that the enemy they were facing were not ordinary. It was even beyond that to be compared to the other ones. It was then, they realised that this enemy they were facing was a Hobgoblin champion. A cut above the rest when compared to its peers.

It snarled at the four shadows and its fangs were shown. Making the four look at each other's faces.

It was then, the four was grinning. Thinking of another plan to eliminate the enemy. The four of them then surrounded the Hobgoblin champion. With its club being perched on its shoulders, it growled at them.

Shouting at their own language and made the four have question marks on their heads. Just when it finished shouting, they concluded that it was maybe intimidating them.

Making them think twice before attacking him again. Something that they expected from their enemy.

Holding their daggers in a reverse grip, they conjured daggers on their other hand and throw them to the enemy. With daggers assaulting in four different directions, it was impossible to be unscathed especially when the enemy has only a club to block them.

It was then, the Hobgoblin champion has blocked some but he was successfully stabbed with daggers on his back. They soon slashed the enemy left and right with their whipping chained daggers and the enemy was slashed vehemently. Pity was not something they would do at the moment.

Its cuts were uncountable as the four didn't let it have spare time to take a breather. Cuts on its limbs, joints, back, and even chest. Slowly bleeding and the enemy was weakened by it. Panting as it struggles with the remaining embers of its life. Still, it roared and smashed them with its club. Dust was all over the place and it soon cleared out.

Into its surprise, while the dust was all over, the four dashed towards him. He felt stabs in four different directions. Four of them were all stabbing him with their daggers.

Two on its back located on its shoulders and two on its chest. Making the enemy puke blood then swatted them off. Making the four roll on the ground over many times.

In just a whim, the enemy then stands up but the other goblins who were just looking at their fight then assisted him. Lending their shoulders and carried him to be healed.

Soon after, the four then stands up. Looking at the retreating enemies and was panting. It was then Isaias arrived while being sweaty and panting. Hastily running towards them as he called for their attention.

"Help the barracks! The barracks are attacked!" He shouted at them.

They all stared again with each other and then went on their way. Hastily running towards the barracks as they saw that it was teeming with goblins. Time was of the essence, leaving Isaias behind as they felt that he was slow.
