Chapter 20: First Step Completed Beautifully!
"Let's take care of them here," Kai said as he stopped and looked at the three Goblin Captains with a mocking smile.
Cedric also stopped instantly and looked at Kai, as if waiting for orders.
"Hold one of them and don't let it escape," Kai ordered.
The moment the three Goblin Captains were almost upon them, Kai made his move as he charged toward them, followed by Cedric, who had already locked onto the captain on the right.
The two Goblin Captains in front let out guttural roars and split apart, flanking him from both sides.
Without breaking stride, Kai snapped his fingers as he summoned four undead Goblin Captains at once since he wanted to save his energy for the next big fight.
"Handle the left one," Kai commanded.
The undead Goblin Captains obeyed instantly. Two seized the living captain's arms, another hacked at its legs, while the fourth drove a jagged short sword toward its ribs, forcing the creature on the left into a desperate scramble for footing.
Meanwhile, Kai turned toward the remaining goblin directly ahead. He slid beneath the first sweeping slash as his agility far surpassed the goblin's.
Sparks scattered as his sword met the captain's crude cleaver, parrying the blow aside.
With a twist of his wrist, he redirected the recoil into a spinning back-kick that slammed into the goblin's chestplate and sent it skidding across the street.
