Chapter 341 - Battle Over
The physical power that Adam was displaying was double that of what he should be able to display and his body was being pushed massively past its limits, but only with that much power, was able he able to keep up with the Goblin Lord for so long.
However, after fighting for almost 10 minutes where he had massively surpassed his limits and also been wounded and damaged by the attacks of the Giant Beast Goblin Lord, Adam's body was on the verge of collapsing.
The Goblin Lord was in a similar state and might even be more negatively affected than Adam due to its old age and unstable cultivation after being dormant for so many years.
Despite both of them being in such weakened and damaged states, they still continued attacking each other and their hits were becoming sloppy, while they also had to avoid all the debris that was falling on them.
{Snap out of it Adam} shouted Ava within his mind, worried for his safety.
Adam, who had been taken over by his desire to battle, kill and let out all his emotions, wasn't thinking clearly and the same was with the Goblin Lord, who no longer cared about whether it lived.
As long as it killed Adam, who was the only human it had come across for years and was the one that killed most of its subordinates, it was satisfied.
Adam also seemed to be linked to whatever had captured and blocked the goblins in there, so the beast had no regrets in taking down Adam with it, as it was already getting old and didn't have much longer to live.
[Damn it, there seems to be no way out and I won't survive all the rubble that is going to fall on me in the weakened state that I am in] thought Adam to himself as he started to feel sluggish and slow.
His body was starting to ache the more he took control over his mind and body, and with it, his power reduced as his body no longer felt the need to surpass its limits and had also let out a lot of his pent up anger and frustration.
Moving backwards, Adam created some distance between himself and the Goblin Lord, and just as he was about to look for a way out of the Underground Chamber that he was in, he remembered the rings on the right hand of the Goblin Lord.
[Akarshia seems to be a world or continent where there are beast kingdoms and humans seem to be oppressed there. This probably has something to do with the secret mission behind the floor along with the rings on its right hand, that give me an unusual feeling. If finding the Goblin Lord and killing it is enough to complete this secret mission, then as long as I take it down with my next attack, I will be able to take the rings and find a way to get out of these underground structures. After that, completing the floor shouldn't take much longer] thought Adam to himself as he planned his next move.
Being able to unleash the full power of the Spinning Spear Strike or Spinning Javelin Strike would be nearly impossible in the state he was in and his Internal Energy was also being disrupted by an unknown array, making it even less likely to be possible.
Even if his Internal Energy wasn't used being disrupted and he could use it, he had exhausted even more of it than his Internal Energy, which shocked him.
He had subconsciously burned all of his Internal Energy to grant himself great power that surpassed his limits for a short amount of time.
If it wasn't for the fact that Adam's body was very powerful and durable, he wouldn't have any chance of being able to do that and if it was his real body, it would take him quite a long time to recover from the backlash of pushing his body too far past its limits.
Biting his tongue and forcing himself to draw out more power from his weakened and fatigued body, Adam summoned all the energy he could muster and streamed it all into the spear that he had withdrawn from his inventory.
A simple, direct spear thrust was Adam's best bet at unleashing an attack that was powerful enough to take down the Goblin Lord in a single strike and in the process, forming a small opening that he could take cover in.
"This will not be the end" shouted Adam as he charged towards the Goblin Lord with the spear that he held at his side with both his arms.
He summoned as much power as he could and streamed it into his arms and the spear as he thrust it forwards towards the stomach of the Goblin Lord, which required him to strike over his head, since the beast was so tall and large.
As he struck the beast with his spear, Adam roared and continued pushing forth with as much power as he could as green blood burst out of the Goblin Lord's lower abdomen.
It let out a cry of pain and anger, but it was too weakened and overwhelmed to do anything as Adam moved away and left his spear that had pierced all the way through the Goblin Lord and sliced apart its internal organs in the process.
Adam had overestimated how much power he would be able to draw out and while the Goblin Lord struggled to pull out the spear, he rushed towards it to finish it off.
However, a large rock fell where in front of him and broke his charge, as he struggled to avoid all the rocks that were galling from the ceiling and rushed over to the Goblin Lord.
It began being struck by the collapsing ceiling and after being hit a few times, gave up and slowly began shrinking to its original, small and old form.
