Chapter 386: Path Blocked

Adam was forced to retreat a few steps backwards, giving Hurgh a chance to retreat. The moment that he was given a chance, he did not waste it at all, and immediately rushed into the distance, planning to get out of this place.

Hurgh’s speed was not to be underestimated despite the fact that his body size was quite huge. Nevertheless he moved, the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly due to the sheer weight that he possessed.

As he moved at an incredible speed, trying to get away, moving towards his own territory where the goblin race was located, Hurgh realized that his speed was greatly diminished considering that the injuries that he had suffered were not small at all.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that he was undergoing a lot of pain by making big movements like now, he did not stop at all, as he understood that if he continued staying here, he was going to die.

Adam who had been pushed backwards immediately noticed Hurgh who was busy rushing away. Immediately, he began running after him with the intention of dealing with him.

But the only problem was the fact that by the time that he reacted to chase after him, Hurgh had already covered quite a good distance. Due to that, it was going to take a lot of time for him to be able to reach him.

Nevertheless, the current Adam did not really care about the time that it was going to take for him to be able to catch up. At the end of it all, his main goal was to eliminate this goblin. Otherwise, there was no way that his heart was going to be in peace.

Hurgh had also realized that Adam was crazily chasing after him. He could not help but wonder what was wrong with this human. He had already taken the initiative to retreat, but the human will still coming after him?

This human was definitely crazy. Otherwise, why would he be chasing after him despite the fact that he was already retreating? Afraid of future trouble? It was not as if there was not going to be trouble in the future considering that during the descent of the fourth stage of the apocalypse, even more goblins were going to descend into this world.

What was the difference of him being alive, or not? At the end of it all, it was not as if there was not going to be a goblin that was going to replace him if he was eliminated. Moreover, since he was going to be eliminated, that implied that the goblin that was going to come over next was definitely going to be of a higher level as compared to him.

"Crazy! I have already taken the initiative to give up! My race has already suffered a great loss! It is better if you let me go right now. Otherwise, believe me, you are definitely going to be the greatest enemy of our race from right now!" Hurgh shouted with hatred to threaten Adam from chasing after him.

But his words were completely useless to the furious Adam who had already entered into his berserk state. At this point, unless Adam had completed the goal that he was having in his mind, there was no way that he was going to do anything that interrupted his plans.

Realizing that it was impossible to talk to this human, Hurgh decided to put all of his energy in order to get out of this place. After all, as long as he got back to the territory that belonged to the goblin race, he would actually be capable of protecting himself.

Hurgh was still trying to rush away when suddenly, he detected danger coming from ahead of him. His heart skipped a beat as he had not expected that he was going to be attacked from the front.

Nevertheless, without hesitation, he immediately stopped running forward, and due to the inertia of his initial speed of rushing in forward, his feet slid on the ground.

Hurgh did not wait to come at a complete stop. Instead, using his right leg, he stomped heavily onto the ground and pushed his body towards the left.

The moment that he did so, a ball of fire landed on the ground where he had been before. Although he was not directly impacted by the fireball that had landed on the ground, Hurgh could feel the destructive power that was contained in that attack.

According to his calculations, if this attack actually managed to land on his body, he was going to be fatally injured despite the level that he was currently in due to the activation of the bloodline sacrifice skill.

But there was something that he found weird. Due to the fact that he was not expecting that attack, and the intensity of the damage that the fireball possessed just by looking at the ground that had already created a crater of scorched ground, it was impossible for it to be able to be moving at a small speed.

Still, Hurgh was not willing to be careless anymore. Instead, he looked ahead of him, and realized that there was something that he had not seen appearing at all.

In the air above him, there was a giant red fire dragon. The dragon was eyeing him from above, showing that it was going to attack in case he made any move.

Hurgh could not help but feel his body tremble the moment that he looked into the eyes of the dragon. Although he could feel that this dragon was manifested due to the activation of a skill, he felt that this dragon actually possessed intelligence of its own.

It might be true that he considered the bloodline of the goblin race superior to that of humans, but in front of a dragon, even if it was not a real one, the bloodline of the goblin race was definitely nothing.

The gigantic wings of the dragon in the air flapped to maintain the dragon in the air. But even with the distance of over 30 m between them, Hurgh could feel that the temperatures coming from the body of the dragon were extremely high.

Even if the dragon decided not to utilize its own skills in order to attack, just by using its own body that was made out of fire, it was capable of dealing a great damage to him.

Hurgh’s pupils suddenly contracted. At this point, he realized that he had been careless! After the attack from the dragon, he had simply placed the majority of his attention on the dragon, forgetting about the fact that he had been running away from Adam.

And during the time that he was still staring at the dragon, Adam had already caught up. Moreover, the moment that he caught up, he was not having the intention of giving him any time for small talks or to understand the reason why the dragon simply prevented him from running away.

The moment that Adam arrived behind Hurgh, he attacked. This time, the attack that he launched was even stronger than the attacks that he had ever launched before. Adam’s strength had increased once again, and so had the intensity of the color of the armor that was made out of the red aura that was on his body.

Adam’s anger had already increased after realizing that he was going to take some time to be able to catch up with the goblin that was running away. And due to the increase in his anger, his strength had intensified.

Had it not been for the fact that Adam did not possess that much speed as compared to the goblin, he would have already caught up to him and torn him into pieces.

Despite not having been expecting the attack that was coming from Adam, Hurgh responded hurriedly. Although he was also paying attention to the dragon, he realized that the most urgent one to deal with was definitely Adam.

As he turned around, he immediately launched a punch of his own. Everything was done at an extreme speed, and due to that, the punch that he launched did not possess much strength. After all, not only due to the haste that he possessed during the time that he attacked, but even his energy reserves were quite consumed, and only a small amount of energy was left.

Bang! Crack! Aaargh!

Adam’s fist collided with Hurgh’s. As usual, an explosive sound erupted into the air the moment that the two collided with each other. But in the next moment, cracking sounds could be heard in the air accompanied by a pained scream.

Hurgh’s hand was not capable of matching the strength that was possessed in Adam’s. Due to that, the hand was immediately broken, and the arm was dislocated by the shoulder. At the same time, due to the force that was behind the punch that had been launched by Adam, Hurgh was forced to retreat several steps backwards.

Hurgh was not even given a chance of stabilizing himself before another attack came from Adam. It seemed that the infuriated Adam had already learnt a lesson, and there was no way that he was going to give this goblin a chance. Otherwise, what if this goblin decided to run away again? He was not ready to chase after him after all! His intention was to kill, not to chase!

Hurgh was not capable of reacting this time at all. He could only look at the fist that approached his face growing bigger. Then in the next moment, the fist connected with the head of the goblin.

Booom!

Another explosion rang into the air as a shockwave was generated, blowing a thick cloud of dust into the air.
