Chapter 39 He Is Clumsy
"dear viewers, it seems things are about to get even more interesting as the air around the contender becomes more ferocious".
"we should probably be preparing ourselves to welcome a new champion in the blood ring arena".
"hmm...."
"what is wrong my king"
"it's him. I am wondering if he has some sort of plan to turn the tides around"
"I don't think that is the case my king. Watching their Duel so far, neither of them seem to be faking their reaction"
"especially the contender. He has mostly been cornered by the champion, and if he is smart, he would know that the champion is not one you should engage in a drawn out battle with"
"you can see it as well"
"my king, there is a reason why I am appointed as your first general",
"even I can see that the champion is a combat oriented Goblin. It is like his body was made to forever engage in battle",
"he gets stronger with every moment that passes, and also becomes more inept with his opponent combat style, giving him a chance to come up with all sorts of counterattacks before the opponent's movement execution"
"he, is a genius of combat".
"exactly, I am surprised I never took notice of such a goblin all this while"
"my king, you are one who does not bother himself with what sorts of activities the lowly ones are up to",
"Besides, he might be a genius, but he is still no where near we the four generals specially handpicked by you".
"i am well aware of that first general. What I am saying is that, he is far too talented to be left alone In a place like this"
"my king, it is because he is in a place like this that he is able to become that talented"
"you think so"
"yes my king. Only when a person is in a place befitting of their talent can it truly blossom"
"so you are saying his right place to be is in the blood ring arena"
"yes my king"
"..."
"alright, guess I will have to let him continue being there"
"However, I should warn you, if I notice that his talent has blossomed even farther than it is now",
"I will not hesitate to order a match between he and all the generals to see what position of general befits him more".
"that without a doubt, is the right decision to make my king. But I doubt such a thing will ever happen"
"no matter how good he is, he will never be able to reach the position of a general".
"do not be too confident about that first general"
"I will take your words to heart my king".
"and what is your opinion on his opponent"
"too clumsy my king"
"that was a fast response"
"yes it is my king".
"with the stunt he pulled earlier, I was able to briefly analyze him, and clumsy is the best word to describe him with",
"He had no refined techniques and relies only on his body movement to do the work".
"I do have to say, that he is also gifted with the ability to analyze his opponents movement and a quick thinking to respond to it".
"other than those two qualities, he strikes me as a beginner of combat".
"as expected of the first general, reading through him after only one exchange".
"my king, how could I not have noticed when it is so blantly obvious",
All the techniques he has incorporated so far points to him not having experience with fighting a sane person"
"it is like has only been fighting with mindless beasts all this while",
"his movement pattern is all over the place and has become a habit for him. That is why he will never win against the champion".
"you know, I and the aide staked a bet on them. My claim is on the contender winning",
"but now that you have given your opinion of him not being able to win, does that mean I should start preparing to grant the wish of an aide".
"....."
He gave the aide a demanding yet composed glance.
The aide seeing his king's face, immediately understood what the face was conveying, and he immediately spoke up.
"surely you jest my king. I have no wish that needs to be granted, being able to serve as your aide is more than I can already ask for".
"if there is any other wish I want, it would be for me to forever remain your aide".
"hahahaha. Alright, I shall grant that wish of yours"
"your benevolent grace is immeasurable my king".
***
"dear viewers, it has been one hell of a ride so far".
"the two contestants have ducked it out with everything they have, and yet there is yet to be a victor".
"the Duel carries on as neither of them are willing to give up".
The Goblin contender charges head on with his hands spread apart and thorns coming out of the two sides.
The Goblin champion also did not sit still as he runs ahead with his Spear.
They both clash with their weapons followed by a barrage of exchanging blows.
After the exchange, they splitted from each other with their weapons stained in each other's blood.
The Goblin contender, ignored the wounds made on his body as he lept off the floor.
He produced multiple thorns from his body and threw it at the Goblin champion.
The champion spinned his Spear around him and cut down the thorns.
Although the champion succeeded in cutting down all the thorns, he had unknowingly fallen into a trap set by the contender.
His plan was to hover over the champion, but if he did that, he would immediately have been attacked by the champion.
So he thought of using the thorn to keep the champion busy while he makes his way above him.
And now, he has done just that.
Floating above the champion, the contender dived down at him.
When he was within close proximity, he activated the thorn erection skill to sprout out thorns that surrounded the champion.
The thorn circled him and kept making its way closer to him.
The Goblin champion, wielded his Spear and destroyed the thorns that had almost reached him.
The attack did nothing as the thorns immediately grew back and continued making its way to him like it's trying to devour him.
He must be burning a lot of mana to keep the thorn regeneration that fast, thought the champion.
There was now nowhere for him to go to evade the thorn except jumping up and clashing with the contender who is making his way downwards.
The champion had a vague idea that the contender was up to something, but he still had no other choice but to follow along.
The Goblin champion, jumped up and used his Spear to lead so he can prepare for any movement made by the contender.
He watched and monitors every action made by the contender as they get closer to each other.
The contender raised his hand up, and at that moment, the champion felt a change in the air around him.
He noticed that the contender was gathering something in his hand, but he could not make out what it was until it took shape.
It was mana gathered in the form of a Spear.
How is he doing that?, what exactly is his mana Guage for him to constantly expend mana like that?.
The champion raised his own Spear and coated it in mana, because he knew that the Spear that the contender had made had enough explosive power to instantly destroy his own physical Spear.
He coated the Spear in mana to enhance the spear's durability with hopes that it will be enough to tank the attack.
The champion was ready to hit the contender's Spear with his own Spear, but to his surprise, the contender threw the Spear rather than holding unto it.
The mana made Spear made its way towards the champion with precision and speed.
The closer it got to the champion, the wider it seems to grow.
The champion, activated all his defensive type skill and got ready to make a collision against a force he has no specific knowledge of how high its output is.
