Chapter 300 - Giant Goblin Beast Part 2
[This Giant Goblin Beast can literally step on me and probably take me down that easily, but it is still very slow, clumsy and will probably have a hard time finding me and actually landing a hit on me. I have no chance of taking down that beast with the power I am able to unleash currently and probably won't even be able to damage it, but if I take out its eyes, it will go berserk] said Adam to himself.
[Once that occurs, I can taunt the beast and lead it to the goblin city. Hopefully, it is wild and stupid enough to begin destroying the Goblin Beast city and amid the confusion and chaos, I can take down as many goblin beasts as I can before retreating. It is unlikely that the Giant Goblin Beast can stay in the form for long and will probably be taken down by the powerful goblin beasts hidden within the city, so I still need to be careful and ready to retreat at any moment] continued Adam to himself.
"Before that, I should chase after that Mage Goblin Beast and the Tank Goblin Beasts with it as no goblin beasts will get away from me" mumbled Adam as he jumped up into a tree and bolted after the goblin beasts as the wind crashed against his face.
It was an exhilarating feeling to be able to move as quickly as Adam could and even after moving at such speeds for long periods of time, Adam never got bored of the feeling of the wind crashing against his face along with the adrenaline rush that came with it.
Catching up to the goblin beasts that were quite slow when compared to Adam, the Swordsman Goblin beasts and the Archer Goblin Beasts, Adam didn't waste any time in taking them down.
No matter how powerful one became, unless they had a unique hardening ability like that of Chase, the neck and eyes were always vulnerable parts of the body that could impale or instantly kill an opponent.
Jumping onto the back of the Mage Goblin Beast before it even had the chance to react, Adam struck downwards on its head with an Air Palm Strike, instantly crushing its head as its brain and blood splattered all over Adam.
His Bloodlust surged as a slight smile appeared on his face as he then swung a powerful kick at the leg of one of the Tank Goblin Beast.
The Tank Goblin Beasts didn't have armour covering their entire legs and only their knees and chins, which left Adam to strike its thigh.
The kick was fast and had a lot of power behind it, but it was merely to daze and stop the Tank Goblin Beast from running as Adam slashed the back of its knees with his dagger.
He slashed as hard and quickly as he could and was one of the deadliest strikes that he had learnt from some of the dagger and fighting manuals that his master had provided him.
Behind the knee is the posterior cruciate ligament and since it is a humanoid beast, its body in terms of composition was very similar if not exactly the same as that of a normal human.
The posterior cruciate ligament is the ligament that connects your shinbone to your thigh bone and is needed to keep the knee stable and therefore walk.
As soon as Adam cut the posterior cruciate ligament of the Tank Goblin Beast, its knees buckled as it fell down to its knees and was unable to get back up.
It was the first time that Adam had used that tactic in battle and it was clearly very effective, but it was mostly only useful against humans as beasts usually have different compositions that are usually different.
Leaving that Tank Beast on the ground trying to crawl away, no longer able to use its legs, Adam rushed after the other one that had left behind its comrades and struck it down in the same way.
With both of them on the ground, it was unlikely they would die from illness or blood loss with their strong vitalities, but it was unlikely that they would ever be able to walk again as the healing of the posterior cruciate ligament would require special external assistance.
Leaving them crawling around on the ground, Adam was more focused on the Giant Goblin Beast that was walking towards where he was and crushing everything in its way.
It was leaving a wide path behind it where all the trees were crushed and destroyed, which was exactly what Adam didn't want as he was using the large trees to slowly pick off the goblin beasts that were sent out to take him down.
The speed at which it was walking seemed to be very slow and comparable to that of a normal human, but the ground it was covering was incredible with each step covering dozens of metres.
It was also dragging its feet across the ground and stomping loudly intentionally, wanting to destroy everything in its path and draw out Adam, which confirmed to Adam that there really was someone in charge of all the goblin beasts.
[Whoever is controlling or leading them must have the intelligence of that of an average human if not higher, and it is likely that they are the most powerful beast that I have to take out] thought Adam to himself, seeing the Giant Goblin Beast's intentional and unusual actions.
Running towards the Giant Goblin Beast, what Adam gathered was that he still hadn't been sensed or seen by the Giant Goblin Beast which confirmed to him that its sensory capabilities were very low.
That was to be expected from such a large beast that would see Adam as merely an ant among the trees that to it could be seen as tall grass.
[This is going to be interesting] thought Adam as he ground beneath his feet began to shake more violently as he got closer and closer to the Giant Goblin Beast.
