Chapter 326 - Weapon Master Goblin King
After taking down the Giant Goblin King, which took quite a long while and a lot of energy, Adam went back over to the Core Part of the Goblin Beast City, using his Burst Movement Skill, to recover.
In the process of taking down the Giant Goblin King, Adam had taken down thousands of other goblin beasts by leading the Giant Goblin King to follow him and crush them all with his feet.
He had also caused a lot of destruction in the Inner Part of the Goblin Beast City and kept him away from the Core Part of the Goblin Beast City so that he could still attempt to salvage some things from the rubble of the Giant Goblin King's tower.
Adam was drained quite heavily after the long battle that required him to use a lot of Internal and External Energy to maintain the use of the Burst Movement Skill and continuously strike the Giant Goblin King's open wound.
Despite that, he still managed to summon enough Internal Energy and mental strength to use his spiritual sense to search the rubble left around where the Giant Goblin King's tower previously stood.
It didn't take long for Adam to find another one of the stones that he found in the previous two towers and it was identical in shape, but once again a different colour.
Adam tried a few more of the tests that he had done on the other stones, on the new stone that he had just found, but just like he had expected, the unusual stone that he found didn't react to any of them.
Placing it in his inventory with the others, Adam didn't think about what it was too much and was excited for the battle against the fourth and final Goblin King.
From what it seemed, it should be the last powerful beast that had the capability, power and combat prowess to wound him and Adam had suffered quite a lot of damage in his battles against the Goblin Kings.
However, he had also learned a lot and improved from them, since he always learned from the mistakes that he made in combat, and his Hunter's mind, which enhanced his memory and perceptivity, made that possible.
Just like he expected his battle with the Weapon Master Goblin King was a very exhilarating battle.
After taking a few hours to recover his HP and energy storages, although there was still some residual aching around his body and mental strain, he was back up to full strength and ready to battle.
Preparing his daggers, Adam took off any equipment that he was wearing, since he wanted his battle against the Weapon Master Goblin King to be a battle of skill.
He had already memorised the attack patterns and techniques of all the Goblin Beasts that used weapons, which were all descendants of the Weapon Master Goblin King, and was excited to see what the beast would be capable of.
Climbing up the tower, the confrontation with the Weapon Master was different and much more intense than that of the other Goblin Kings.
All of the Goblin Kings had their own qualities and it was hard to judge which one was the most powerful, as it would depend on the environment and circumstance, but the aura around the Weapon Master Goblin King was the strongest so far.
In terms of raw power and speed, it was still not on the level of that of the Beast Goblin King that would be able to destroy buildings and cause mass destruction in the real world, but overall it seemed to be a worthy opponent.
Adam leaked deep into the Weapon Master Goblin King's eyes and the beast did the same to him as they both tried to gauge whatever they could from each other.
The Weapon Master Goblin King was nearly 3 metres tall and had quite a muscular physique that was clearly very powerful and one that could rival most Advanced External Cultivators.
It was armed with many different weapons and had throwing knives wrapped around its body, had fighting knives, daggers, a sword a bow and as many other weapons as it could fit on its body.
Yet, despite its height, size and all the weapons on its body, it still seemed lean and capable of fighting and moving at rapid speeds, which Adam was sure of.
The beast was confident, but not arrogant and could see from Adam's eyes and aura, that he was clearly someone skilled in the use of weapons, just like itself.
They looked at each other up and down for a few moments before Adam signalled for it to jump down out of the tower, as although it was large, it wasn't spacious enough for two fast and powerful cultivators to fight all-out.
The Goblin King understood and agreed as it turned its back to Adam without worrying that he would attack it, as it gauged that Adam was clearly eager to face it and respected it as a worthy opponent.
What it gauged was correct and Adam allowed the Weapon Master Goblin King to jump out of the tower through the hole in the wall that it created before jumping out after it.
The Weapon Master Goblin King showed great strength, durability and control by landing on the ground from dozens of metres in the air without making a loud noise, breaking the ground or harming its legs.
Even Adam was unable to do such a thing and wasn't planning on trying to do so as he jumped down and used his Burst Movement Skill to break his fall just as he was about to hit the ground.
Both kept an eye on each other as they slowly moved back and created a 10-metre gap between each other, which could be covered in the blink of an eye.
"Prepare yourself, I will begin attacking now" warned Adam.
He was unsure whether the beast could understand what he said, but his intentions were clear and defeating the beast was inevitable in Adam's eyes as he gave it a moment to draw a weapon before charging towards it.
