Chapter 162 The Goblin Ran Away
The cloaked goblin pointed his staff at Natsumi, and magic began to gather.
It sensed the danger posed by Xia Sheng and prepared to attack without hesitation.
A breeze comes and blows across this space.
Xia Sheng was less than ten meters away from the goblin and could only feel a slight breeze blowing, ruffling his bangs.
Around the goblin's staff, a fierce wind howled, and green magic surged and roared.
The green blade aura gleamed with a chilling light.
The wind blade gradually took shape, but Xia Sheng wouldn't wait. He locked his gaze on the goblin and drew his sword with his right hand.
Then, he vanished in a flash.
A blur, barely visible to the naked eye, rushed towards the goblin in an instant.
At the same time, a flash of white light pierced through the gale, cut through the green magic, and also sliced across the goblin's neck.
The goblin froze, motionless.
The next second, its staff broke off and fell to the ground, and its head flew off.
Purple blood spurted out.
Xia Sheng was behind it, bathed in purple raindrops, which covered his body, his head, and his face.
Without hesitation, Xia Sheng licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and swallowed it.
Although it was purple, like human blood, he tasted rust.
The awakening skill begins to activate on its own, absorbing and digesting the energy.
In an instant, Xia Sheng understood a magic trick.
Wind blade!
He can use it directly.
With a thought, a gentle breeze arose around him, and magic floated around him, blending with the wind.
The wind suddenly took on a tangible form, and green wind blades materialized.
"Yukino, Mahiru, come to me," Natsuo called out to the two who were still running away.
Having dealt with the most dangerous goblin, Xia Sheng dared not let his guard down.
The goblin that could see through his abilities never showed up.
Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina cautiously ran towards Natsuo, in case the goblin suddenly attacked them.
Fortunately, that didn't happen, and the two arrived at Xia Sheng's side without incident.
A sense of security washed over them, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Natsuo, you... you've obtained that goblin's magic?" Yukino Yukinoshita finally had the mind to look at the situation in front of him.
This wind blade is exactly the same magic that the cloaked goblin used just now.
But it's already dead.
"Yes, that's my new ability—devouring everything," Xia Sheng replied.
"Is that so? That's wonderful." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled, happy for him.
Xia Sheng becoming stronger is more important than anything else.
"So, Natsuo, can you keep getting stronger?" Shiina Mahiru asked happily.
"It's hard to say, there might be some issues with elemental adaptation." Xia Sheng shook his head, not daring to make a guarantee.
"Too.....
.
"Let's put that aside for now. I'm going to bomb the second floor. Since we can't find that goblin, we'll just attack indiscriminately." Xia Sheng said calmly, his gaze cold.
He couldn't rest easy until the goblins were dead.
"Alright, go ahead and do it." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in support, while Mahiru Shiina leaned close to him, hugged his arm, and returned his smile.
His decision was her choice.
"Yukino, hold me too, in case I hurt you..." Natsumi reminded him.
"Okay." Yukino Yukinoshita did not hesitate, took his arm, and pressed herself against him.
Xia Sheng then released his inner magic without any hesitation, condensing more than a dozen wind blades and releasing them in all directions.
Instantly, a fierce wind howled through the air, and the sound of air being torn apart filled every place.
On the stone wall, knife marks appeared continuously, and pebbles flew everywhere.
Xia Sheng and his friends, on the other hand, seemed to be right in the middle of a storm, completely unharmed.
Xia Sheng kept scanning his surroundings until the howling wind stopped and things calmed down, at which point he frowned.
The scene he imagined—a splash of purple liquid—did not occur.
In other words, his overwhelming attack failed to harm the goblin that had disappeared or gone invisible.
Has it really disappeared?
"Could it be...: "
Yukino Yukinoshita frowned and spoke uncertainly.
"You don't know what?" Xia Sheng looked at her.
"That goblin escaped using its invisibility ability..." Yukino Yukinoshita voiced her conjecture.
"You think so too?" Xia Sheng had also thought of this.
"Is it possible that it ran to the first floor?" Shiina Mahiru asked.
"I'm not sure, but let's go check it out."
Xia Sheng pulled the two of them back to the first floor and released the wind blade once again.
In this place, his magic is inexhaustible.
The wind blades sliced through stone pillars and broke through stone walls, but they did not strike any living creatures.
"It seems they really did run away..." Xia Sheng asserted.
He seems to have forgotten that the invaders' original purpose was to invade the world.
During this period, the situation was confused by the aggressive intruders.
Their goal from beginning to end has always been to prevent them from leaving this place and to stop them from invading the world.
It was only because of their obstruction that things temporarily changed.
But that doesn't mean they don't intend to invade the world.
Perhaps that goblin with magic was just bait, meant to lure the other goblin away.
Careless.
But there was nothing that could be done. That goblin could turn invisible, and there was no information about it at first, so there was no way to stop it.
"That reality..." Shiina Mahiru's eyes showed worry.
"The Black Mist Man is about to appear again," Yukino Yukinoshita said, her expression serious.
Invaders invading the world is not a good thing, especially since the last time it was her mother who was attacked.
What if this time it's another...: ...an intruder with special abilities.
"We'll just have to improvise," Xia Sheng replied helplessly.
"That's the only way." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded.
The Black Mist People are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people; they cannot be dealt with by normal people. Even simple firearms are useless against them, and only Xia Sheng can help.
"Wait!" Shiina Mahiru suddenly called out.
"What's wrong?" The two looked at her.
"Perhaps we can also deal with the Black Mist People," Shiina Mahiru explained with a smile.
"How do we...:::.. Wait a minute." Yukino Yukinoshita also remembered.
Previously, Xia Sheng dealt with the Black Mist People not through strength, but through magic.
Magic can dispel the black mist.
Without the black mist, the Black Mist People are just ordinary people.
"You'd better not make any rash moves," Xia Sheng advised.
"How so?"
"The ones who escaped this time are goblins with special abilities. Who knows if the Black Mist Man might also possess special abilities?" Xia Sheng asked, offering a reminder.
"This..." Yukino Yukinoshita had no rebuttal.
"Unless absolutely necessary, you are not allowed to take action. You must contact me. The physical strength of the Black Mist People is beyond your capabilities," Xia Sheng sternly warned.
"I understand." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in agreement immediately, without any intention of being stubborn.
"I definitely won't make a move lightly, and since we're basically working together, I don't even need to lift a finger," Shiina Mahiru replied with a smile.
Smoke... Hopefully, the Black Fog Man can be found in time.
Xia Sheng wasn't really worried about the black mist creature suddenly appearing and disrupting society, since it had appeared near him the previous two times.
Perhaps the Black Mist Man can only appear in his vicinity.
He should have a way to do that if he doesn't want himself to be destroyed at will.
"Time to go back... It seems there's no third floor." Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief as she realized her feet were starting to become ethereal.
It's good that there's no third layer for now.
The third layer of intruders will only get stronger, and Xia Sheng now has a way to become stronger; he just needs time.
"Goodnight then." Xia Sheng waved to the two of them.
"Good night."
Watching the two disappear, Xia Chang breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he was safe.
Although the invader has become stronger, he has also developed the means to become stronger.
Becoming stronger is more important than anything else.
[Successfully eliminated the intruders, rewarded with the ability - Music.]
music?
Hearing the notification tone, Xia Sheng was puzzled. What was the use of this reward?
He doesn't need it at all.
Is the reward so ordinary because a goblin escaped?
However, compared to the reward, Xia Sheng noticed a more peculiar problem: the prompt only mentioned eliminating the intruders, not the intruders on the second floor.
He remembered that the first floor was the same.
And why hasn't he left yet?
"Xia Sheng, you go first."
Just as Xia Sheng was wondering, a familiar voice rang out.
