Chapter 457 Ending The Powerhouse
The Shapeshifting Kobold and the Troll Warrior were now totally focused on Dilan, who could hardly control himself.
He grinned from ear to ear, feeling that he was ready to rumble at any time. The two powerhouses were already severely injured and they couldn't make use of their entire combat prowess anymore.
Even if their stats were much higher than Dilan could attain with all kinds of possible abilities, pieces of equipment and so on, there was no way that they would be able to fight against them in their current state.
Thus, Dilan was not worried as he inserted some of his wind altered mana inside the Blessed Blade, Signav, to make sure that it was sharp enough to cut through his opponents before he dashed forward.
Powerful air currents pushed him further ahead and he activated [Master of Gravity] to decrease the gravitational force that was weighing him down. His speed increased drastically after that and it was only a matter of milliseconds before he reached the Shapeshifted Kobold.
Smiling excitedly, Dilan issued a cross slash with his Cursed Dagger and the Blessed Blade. He inflicted deep gashes in the chest of the shapeshifted Kobold before he vanished.
Dilan left golden sparkles behind when he disappeared, just to reappear on the ground right behind the Troll Warrior.
The Troll Warrior flicked his head in Dilan's direction and he was about to attack the tiny human when Dilan jumped upward.
With enough mana inserted in the Blessed Blade, [Holy Light]'s effect was unleashed, drastically increasing the weapon's sharpness, to the extent that he didn't feel any resistance when cutting through the skin and flesh of the Troll Warrior.
The Troll Warrior's entire back was slashed open as it staggered back, reeling from the effects of the attack. Flesh, innards and a fountain of blood spurted out of the monster that roared out in pain.
Meanwhile, Dilan ascended in the air, ignoring the filth he was covered in. He rose high in the air with the Troll's blood splattered on his face and wind currents shrouding him, a manic look on his face.
He used the Wind Spirits, his comprehension of Green Magic and the [Master of Gravity] ability to make sure that he would hover in the air, move around and blast downward with a terrific pace.
Dilan increased the gravitational force that weighed on him drastically before he used the wind currents around him to forcefully pull him downward rapidly.
Electric currents shrouded his feet and they spread out through his entire body as two of the four Wind Spirits were replaced with Basic Lightning Spirits.
Currents of electricity shrouded the Cursed Dagger and the Blessed Blade, giving them an additional reinforcement in power as he impacted on the Troll Warrior, who had attempted to react fast enough to respond to Dilan's attack.
But to the Troll's misery, its movements were drastically restricted because of the painful and more than twenty centimeter deep gash that ran along the length of its entire back.
Nonetheless, the Troll was able to lift the humongous broadsword in an attempt to block the incoming attack.
"You really think that's enough?" Dilan shouted at the top of his lungs just before the Blessed Blade collided with the heavy broadsword's blade with a resounding clang.
Upon impacting, Dilan further increased the gravitational force being exerted upon him and soon loud crackling noises began to resound through the surrounding area mere moments later.
A bright, yet, devilish smile began to form on his face when spider web-like cracks formed all over the blade of the Troll Warrior.
It was obvious what was about to happen but the Troll Warrior couldn't believe it when his Tier-4 weapon actually crumbled to pieces.
That was not supposed to happen at any time, not against an opponent, who was obviously only at the second Tier…yet, Dilan was not only able to destroy a Tier-4 weapon but he was also able to exhibit enough strength to make sure that the Troll Warrior would die at any moment.
The Blessed Blade pierced through the skull of the Troll Warrior, who looked up with desperation in his eyes.
However, Dilan wasn't feeling pitiful. He was fully focused on killing the most powerful opponent to ensure a clean and sweeping victory.
With the huge gains he had already made by acquiring the Blessed Blade Signav, Dilan was already fully prepared to go all out and grind enough Essence crystals for the purposes he had in mind.
Brain mass trickled down the Blessed Blade when Dilan pulled it outside the head of the Troll that collapsed on the ground. However, he didn't focus on that at all.
He pushed his body away from the Troll with all his might and he appeared in front of the Shapeshifted Kobold, who slashed at Dilan, prepared to sustain more heavy injuries if that would allow him to kill his opponent.
But that was not something Dilan wanted to accept, which was why he activated [Short distance traveling] once again. He disappeared just when the Shapeshifted Kobold's claw was about to sweep through him and he reappeared behind the monster.
Dilan didn't lose his tempo, which was why Dilan was given the opportunity to plunge both daggers deep inside the neck of the Shapeshifted Kobold.
A pained gurgling escaped the Kobold's mouth before the monster quieted down just as Dilan twisted the daggers in the Kobold's neck.
Unexpectedly, the Kobold continued moving even with the twisted daggers stuck deep inside its neck. Its eyes turned lifeless but weirdly enough, a bright expression appeared on its face when its eyes lost the remaining traces of life.
'What is wrong with this one?' Dilan wondered when something unexpected happened.
The Shapeshifted Kobold deflated in size and it seemed as if it was returning to its original size and maturity state when a bright light manifested all around the Kobold.
"The hell?" He blurted out, obviously confused when the Kobold turned into countless white sparks that spread out in all directions.
A Diamond-blue colored Essence Crystal fell to the ground, just for the remaining parts of the Shapeshifted Kobold to be never seen again…not by Dilan at the very least!
"What was that?" Dilan shouted out in bewilderment as he picked up the Essence crystal. Luckily, he was not the only one to feel confused because when he threw a single glance to his right, he could easily tell that his people were just as confused as him.
'Well, whatever,' He turned his head away with a shrug and jumped upon the dead body of the Troll Warrior, whose Essence Crystal he had to pull out with some effort.
Dilan stored the two Essence Crystals inside the storage ring before he turned his head in the direction of the remaining Trolls and Kobolds.
By now, the entire Kobold settlement was destroyed and it was only a matter of time before all the other monsters would be killed as well.
Dilan alone was more than enough to kill them within five to ten minutes.
However, he was not alone and it was time for his people to get ready for some real fights.
"Guys, it's your turn! Fight, and kill them all!"
