Chapter 10
Seven goblins in total came for him. Four green ones emerged from behind the various trees, two blues popped out from within the cave across the way, and a yellow archer followed behind them. Instead of charging ahead with the club-wielders, the spear goblins stayed by cave entrance. The archer stepped out in front of them and prepared to shoot at Adam.
It’s too far to hit it with the glove from here.
I need to get closer.
He ran to meet the four green goblins.
Before the first one could even swing, he speared it through the neck, shearing all the way through. Then he hopped out of the way of two clubs swung at him, surging back in a second after to smack his new shield into the one on his left, knocking it onto its ass and pivoting to stab the other. As the second goblin died, he quickly speared the one he’d hit with his shield, finishing it off.
As he was about to kill the last green goblin, a whistling from above caught his attention, and he immediately lifted his parry shield in front of his face, just as an arrow slapped against it and plinked off to the side. The impact was stronger than expected, stronger even than the one which had hit him in the shoulder.
That would’ve gone right into my neck if I hadn’t noticed it!
I need to pay attention to my surroundings! he scolded himself.
A shrill roar preceded a swing from the remaining green goblin, but he narrowly avoided it by hopping to the side. Then he switched the spear to his left hand and grabbed the creature by the throat using his slime glove.
