Chapter 68 Gaia's Rage

I quickly stood up once again, but just like before, I felt a dread come from behind me. This one was a lot less intense than the last one and I could already conclude who was attacking me.

Twirling on my back heel, I moved my sword majestically before red energy enveloped it. The speed of my sword only increased and due to my blood eyes still being activated, I easily found the most suitable way to deal with the attacker.

In one fell swoop, my sword cut through the air almost silently before it clashed with the blade of the hobgoblin that I tried to kill me with a stealth attack.

I could feel that the goblin chief was moving as fast as it could, meaning I had to quickly finish off the creature in front of me as fast as possible, or else this could get real ugly in the blink of an eye.

Putting more force into my sword swing in combination with the red energy that surrounded it as well as the 40 points of strength that I had put into it, I cleaved right through the sword of the opponent and finally sliced him diagonally in half.

Not wanting to waste any more time, I turned around with the intent to kill, something that further boosted my blood energy and caused a crimson blade hue to be released from my body.

I could see that the blood energy was intertwining with the sword as if it was corrupting it, but after seeing that the sword would not be capable of handling the energy that was being stored within it, I changed my grip over the blade and shot it like a javelin with all the power I could muster within my right arm.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

The sword tore through the air and shot towards the head of the goblin chief at an unbelievable speed, making it quickly use the momentum it had gained to point its spear toward the sword and thrust with everything it had.

*Crack*

*BOOM*

An explosion sent out a small shockwave that made me take a step back, yet the goblin chief was not as lucky as I was since it was in the middle of the explosion. I watched its body leave the dust cloud and begin to roll on the floor before eventually hitting the wall at the end of the throne room with a heavy thud.

A victorious smile crept up the corner of my lips but I was more than certain that the explosion would have not killed it since it had countered it with its spear.

I turned into a blur once again as I sped past the corpse behind me, grabbing its sword and landing on the wall that the throne leaned on.

With one last push, I used the strength within my legs to catapult myself through the air and towards the goblin chief at breakneck speeds, yet it seemed like the fight was not entirely over.

Unknown Dimension

"Damnit!" A woman with emerald green hair and eyes slammed the armrest of her throne while gnashing her teeth.

Her beauty was beyond implacable, yet no one was around for millions of miles to appreciate it.

Her throne and she were placed in solitude in the middle of a white void, yet while that would have caused any normal intelligent being to go mad with loneliness and lack of contact, the woman seemed to be completely fine even after seemingly being here for millions of years.

It was a wonder how someone like her could still be this beautiful even after not having moved for millions of years, but that was beside the point.

Right now anger could be seen within her eyes while an uncontrolled rage burned inside her, and in her eyes, her rage was understandable.

It had been weeks now since she had been trying to kill the human that had infiltrated her territory, but he had not only been asleep for most of that time but was also being guarded by a beautiful white snake that had taken the form of a human.

As if that was not problematic enough, the white snake had enough power to kill an abomination in the high mid-grade of the mortal realm. Granted, she had taken several minutes to poison and wound it, but in the end, it only took one final energy attack to end its life completely.

After seeing that the snake was helping the human, she had given up all hopes of killing them as long as they stayed in the middle region of the forest. However, if they were to move into the inner regions, she would immediately send some beasts after them if not kill them herself.

However, after the human had woken up, she had seen that he was walking in a specific direction as if he knew something was there. Eventually, he found himself in front of a dungeon that she had created, something that surprised her but also made her happy at the same time.

When he had entered, she waited to see how strong he was but was only left shocked after he blitzed past every stage of the dungeon without an injury. At one point, she saw him use earth magic, something that she hadn't seen him use before and could only guess had come from the awakening that occurred a few weeks back.

Seeing that everything was becoming easy, she activated hell-mode to end it once and for all and allowed the giant hobgoblin to enter a berserk state.

Yet even then she was shocked to see that he had killed the hobgoblin with his earth magic alone, making her almost reach the verge of tears in anger.

"I'll kill him myself." She roared and caused the white void to shake. In the same instance, she stood up from her chair and stretched her hand forward, but before she could create an avatar to end it there and then, she felt a strong grip tighten around he wrist while a powerful aura pressed her down and forced her to submit.

"What are you doing, Gaia?" A cold, calm, and wise voice spoke out, making Gaia look to the side and stare into the golden-emerald eyes of a monster in mortal skin.

"Chronos..." She muttered under her breath, a shudder going down her spine when she finally understood the situation that she was in.
