The Ruined Death Knight-Chapter 14: Grievous Wound
K-Kghwa!"
"Kgwha!"
"Kgwah!" x2
"Oh? Didn´t they like my heartwarming (crushing) welcome?" Seeing that my ambushed worked I was currently in a good mood. Not only was I able to control my mana to activate the skill [Sprint] and not fall in my face but I also managed to kill one of the goblins with it!
Without the usage of [Sprint], I wouldn´t have been able to kill the goblin as I did just now. They would have noticed me otherwise and just like this helmet goblin might have dodged my surprise attack.
[You received 200 Experience points.]
"Nice! About two more goblins and I should be abl-" But before I could finish my though´s I got interrupted by the helmet goblin.
"Kgwaah!" For some reason, the helmet goblin was point towards my head. Although I didn´t know the reason why that was, I guessed that they are somehow communicating with their screeches.
Although I had no idea what they were talking about...
"Kghwaa...!
Annoying...
"Don´t you guys ever shut your mouth!? I would even be damned If I had ears!" Seriously though, how the heck did these guys talk to each other with those screeches?
After shaking my head from the useless thoughts I focused on the current task at hand.
"One versus four is it? Isn´t that a little bit unfair?" I slowly started walking towards the four goblins while I guided the mana in my body to my legs.
"Unfair for them that is..." White green light started emitting from my legs and the skill [Sprint] activated.
Seeing that, the helmet goblin screeched loudly and warned the others. But knowing what is to come didn´t mean that you can block it.
With my reinforcement legs, I leaped towards the goblin with the dagger with my sword up high.
The goblin wilding the dagger tried to dodge to jump to the side and although he succeeded...it seemed like that he forgot that I was only one meter away from him.
Noticing this mistake, he tried to stand up but the only thing he met was my sword cutting through this whole face.
When the other goblins saw this gore scene played in front of them they have unconsciously taken a step back. And slowly the fear of death was crippling behind their back.
The twin goblins turned around and screeched at the helmet goblin something.
The helmet goblin nodded at them and pointed at one of the twins.
The chosen goblin looked surprised and then sadden. He turned to look at twin brother only to receive a nod from him instead.
"Hmm? What the hell are they doing?"
Swinging my sword through the air to get the blood off of my sword I was right about to start walking towards my next target. But what I didn´t expect to see was the goblins rushing towards me.
"You guys are rather cocky aren´t you? Don`t you guys underestimate too... much?"
After a closer look towards the goblins, I realized that something was wrong. And that was that only two goblins were rushing towards me. Not three!
The third goblin with the axe started running away!
"Wait...!" Before I could chase the third goblin the one with the axe stood in front of me and blocking my path.
"You..." I coldly looked at the goblin in front of me.
Seeing the goblin not moving an inch I rushed towards it.
Although the goblin realized better than I had expected. In the end, it met the same fate as the other goblin did.
Dead.
The exchange took about six whole seconds. Although six seconds to kill a goblin didn´t look like much. But in actuality, it was a really long time!
I could barely see the third goblin running away by now!
"If I chase it now I might be able to catch it, but..."
Turning my head I could still see one remaining goblin which ´had a helmet and a nice-looking spear.
If it weren´t for that goblin I would even kill the goblin with the axe even faster, but instead, I had to pay some attention to this creep...
As I was thinking about how to kill the goblin in front of me a sudden idea came to my mind.
Why do I need to fight him now? If I chase the other goblin now I should be able to catch it and kill this goblin after I kill the escapee...
Maybe the helmet goblin realized that too and instead of keeping this distance it rushed towards me.
Seeing this I felt frustrated for not chasing the escaped goblin the moment I killed the goblin with the axe.
I cleared my thoughts and focused on the helmet goblin.
The helmet goblin tried to stab me with this advanced of reach.
Through my superior strength, I was easily able to block these blows with my shield. The moment I blocked the fourth hit I advanced it and swung my swords towards it. Although I barely scratched this chest cause of him stepping a step back at the last moment.

Level 4 huh...pretty much the same as the level 3 goblins.
After seeing this status I scoffed from inside of me.
Seeing this low status I instantly relaxed.
But that was a mistake.
The goblin legs emitted a small white light and this speed increased for a short instant. I ready myself to receive the attack and kill it at the same time.
But what I didn´t expect was that the white light has yet to disappear!
As the helmet goblin was about to reach my range of attack, he used the skill [Sprint] for a second time which allowed him to move at my side within an instant.
"What!?" I was dumbfounded! I always thought that the [Sprint] skill could only be used once a time!
I hastily turned my position so that I can receive the attack, but things didn´t go as planned.
"KGWAAH!" The helmet goblin screamed with all this strength and jumped at me with these still glowing legs!
It used [Sprint] for the third time!?
"I got to move away..!" I guided the mana inside of me and hastily tried to activate [Sprint] too. But sadly it was too late.
The spear penetrated my cloth armor together with my whole right side of the rib cage!
The bones that fallen to the ground emitted some dark mana before slowly becoming dust.
And a sudden feeling of weakness came at me.
Seeing the abnormal feelings I kicked the helmet goblin away and opened my status.

[Remark: A Skeleton that awakened this death aura. Although current you are pathetically weak, your potential just started to sprout.]
"The damage is too high..." Seeing how much health I lost I was surprised.
No.
Shocked!
One attack leads me to suffer such a wound!?
That was too dangerous!
With the burning feeling coming back, it cleared my head and allowed me to focus on the enemy in front of me.
But what I saw made me stunned for a second.
The goblin which inflicted such a grievous wound was sitting on the ground running in fumes while with this legs were shaking no stop.
"I see... the aftereffect of [Sprint] finally kicked in didn´t"
At first, I was quite puzzled at why he was behaving like that, but then I remember the description of the skill [Sprint].
[Sprint Lv.1]: By Forcing mana into your leg you are able to surpass your limits thus being able to move at extreme speed for a limited amount of time. Though this method brings a heavy burden to your body.
"Brings heavy burden to your body huh? Just imaging how it would feel using it three times in a row." I shook my head and slowly walked towards it.
The goblin was screeching with a low voice, probably begging me to show mercy.
"No, chance" I kicked this spear out of hand and picked it the next moment.
Seeing that the goblin was trembling from fear.
I put my foot towards this chest, forcing him to the ground. As I was
about to pierce the goblin's chest with this spear.
The goblin suddenly started crying and thrashing around. It tried to push my foot or drag this body away from me.
I emotionally looked at it screeching at me and quickly pierced this heart with this own spear.
The goblin's eyes quickly started losing color while this strength was rapidly declining.
"I wonder how much far away the escaped goblin went..."
As I was about to chase the escaped goblin a voice suddenly came from right behind me.
"Please..."
Hearing this voice I unconsciously dropped my sword and turned around as fast as possible.
Only to find nothing behind me...
"Where did this voice... come from?"
I blankly stared around me as if I was frozen in time.
"Or rather.... Where did I hear this voice from?"
