It’s still hard!

I dodged the swinging axe and jumped into the pocket. As I passed him, I slashed at the Goblin Berserker’s stomach.

「It’s still hard.」

It felt as if I had struck a rock. My hands were numb and I couldn’t muster any strength. If it had been a sloppy sword provided by the guard corps, it would have broken. I don’t know how much longer I can hold on to this sword that I’ve been borrowing.

The Holy inscriptions are powerful against the undead, but they are powerless against raw power.

The only way to counter this is to use magic.

『Enchanted Sword.』

I put the appropriate amount of magic power into the words and activated the magic, imagining that the sharpness of the blade would increase and the blade glowed faintly.

I turned around and looked at the ［Goblin Berserker］. He leveled his axe and was about to swing it sideways.

All right. I’ll go head-to-head with him.

I catch the approaching axe with my sword. The Goblin Berserker pushes with all its might, but it doesn’t budge a muscle. My strength is greater than his.

Furthermore, a small crack begins to appear on the axe’s blade.

The sharpness enhanced by the ［Enchanted Sword］ can cut through even the scales of a dragon, so there is no way an ordinary weapon can withstand it. It was difficult to even fight with it properly.

I noticed something was wrong with the axe and hurriedly tried to move away. But it’s too late.

『Ice Bind.』

A cord made of thin ice extends from the ground and entangles the Goblin Berserker’s arm. The force of the attempt to tear it off is too much and the ice cracks immediately. In a few seconds, it would break free from its restraints.

But for me, it was enough to stop him from moving for a moment.

I swung my free sword up from below and cut off his right arm. As I swung the sword down, his left arm flew into the air.

He must have been confident in his own hard skin, because he stopped, unable to comprehend what had been done to him.

「Guaaaaaaaaah…… 」

A few moments later, he screamed, as if the pain had made him understand the reality, even if he didn’t want to.

He’s looking at me with a grudge. If you’re a fledgling adventurer, you can’t move just by looking at it.

「Sorry.」

He sneered as I said it.

「You may have remained undefeated among goblins, but I’ve killed the berserker species many times before.」

He seemed to understand that he was being made fun of, even though he was of a different species, and kicked me in the face as a badge of honor. It’s the way Berserkers fight, with little reason left in them.

Since both arms are gone, he can’t balance and he’s not that strong. It’s not as gentle as it sounds, so I leapt to dodge and swung my sword sideways to sever his neck.

The blood spurted out like a fountain. At the same time as I took a distance at a stretch, blood poured down like rain.

「The rest …… They escaped? 」

There was no sign of any goblin that had survived.

I would like to chase after and kill them, but when I saw the Nobles, I interrupted them and decided to go to Zelma to tell her what happened.
