Chapter 295 - Goblin Mage Dark Staff Part 1
The goblin beasts were confused by Adam not coming to attack them and were unsure why he was allowing the Mage Goblin Beast to prepare its attack, but they didn't complain as the two Tank Goblin Beasts moved out of the way of the attack.
It took a few seconds to prepare, which was too long in a battle between powerful and fast beasts and cultivators on their level, but from what Adam could sense, those few seconds were definitely worth it.
Whatever attack the Mage Goblin Beast was preparing, it was definitely a powerful one that Adam had to be wary of.
Adam could see energy flooding into the black orb that was held by the staff and a powerful aura was being emitted by it as it continued to gather energy that the Goblin Mage seemed to be providing.
After those few seconds, the Goblin Mage screamed at the top of its lungs as it aimed the top of the staff towards Adam, then released all the energy that she had gathered in the black orb at once.
A black beam that was multiple times faster, larger and more destructive than the previous black beams that the Goblin Mage had fired, flew over to Adam.
If Adam wasn't ready for the attack and it had been suddenly fired towards him, he was unsure whether he would be able to avoid it.
However, luckily he had already seen the attack coming and as soon as it was fired towards him, he used the Step Skip Skill to move himself away from the blast and towards the goblin beasts.
The blast destroyed everything in its way and was so destructive that it reached all the way to the border of the floor, which although was only a few miles away, was very shocking.
The Goblin Mage was shocked and scared after seeing Adam being able to avoid the attack, but that was to be expected if he was allowing it to attack him as it instructed the two Tank Goblin Beasts to guard it.
It was clear to Adam that the Goblin Mage had been massively weakened, which was to be expected after it released such a devastatingly powerful attack, but it still had two large goblin beasts with giant shields protecting it.
[I can't let that Goblin Mage recover. Although it is not a traeht to me as I can avoid its attacks, if it catches me by surprise or hits me with one of those black beams, I will not be able to recover from it] thought Adam to himself.
His HP represented his life force and vitality, meaning that if it was full, then his body would be working at its maximum capacity and also should be physically mostly recovered, but if he were to lose an arm, even if his life force and vitality were at maximum capacity, it wouldn't grow back.
Dashing towards the two armoured and large goblin beasts that were protecting the comparingly small Goblin Mage, Adam smiled, knowing that he had the perfect skill to take them down.
The Air Palm Strike was a skill that could destroy defences, but could also get through defences and damage the opponent internally.
Adam knew that his palm strike hitting the goblin beast's armour wouldn't do any damage, but as soon as he got into contact with the goblin beast's armour, the vibrations and power of the attack would travel through its armour and into its body.
Once that occurred, the goblin beast's internal organs would be massively injured and if it isn't instantly killed, it will be weakened a lot and might no longer be able to fight against Adam.
It was the perfect skill to take down armoured opponents like the Tank Goblin Beasts, when matched with Adam's speed, as he reached the two beasts and slid under the shields that they were holding out.
They had expected that Adam would try to use a weapon or a ranged attack and would never have expected him to slide right under their shields and enter close combat with them.
Without waiting for them to react or attack, Adam activated the Palm Strike Skill in both his hands, which was very draining and put a lot of strain on his body, especially his arms and palms.
However, it was bearable to Adam who had been going through gruelling training in the gravity training room for the past two months and he landed both the attacks directly on their stomachs.
The Tank Goblin Beasts were initially surprised by the power of the contact aspect of the palm strike, but it didn't harm them at all, but were then dealt a powerful blow internally as they both blurted out curdles of green blood and fell to their knees.
Adam had already jumped back and made some distance between himself and the two Tank Goblin Beasts, knowing that if they grabbed him, he would have almost no chance to get out and their weight would be enough to take him down.
It was clear that Adam had dealt them a powerful blow, but Adam was shocked to see that they both stood up and he had expected that the single attack would have been enough to take them down.
The Mage Goblin Beast communicated with the two Tank Goblin Beasts in some sort of language that sounded like growls to Adam and then one of the Tank Goblin Beasts charged over to Adam, while the other stood guard with the Mage Goblin Beast.
It was a relatively good idea and strategy to try and take down Adam, but they still had no chance against him and Adam was more interested understanding more about the goblin beasts and finding more of their weaknesses.
[This battle won't last much longer and I will go out and continue hunting more of this goblin beast groups before waiting for the goblin beast city to send out more of their troops for me to wipe out] thought Adam to himself as he withdrew his spear from the inventory.
