Gabriel single-handedly decimates a massive goblin army with overwhelming strength, leaving elves like Edgar and Aelira stunned. Meanwhile, Sophie's connection to the World Tree deepens, expanding her senses throughout the forest and attracting the attention of an ancient, immensely powerful consciousness.

BOOM!

Crimson Judgement swept outward once again.

The heavy blade carried no complicated sword technique. Relying solely on Gabriel’s physical strength, which already far surpassed that of ordinary professionals of the same level, it forcibly tore open a gap more than twenty meters wide through the front of the goblin formation.

Dozens of goblins clad in iron armor and carrying heavy shields did not even have time to scream before their bodies were severed at the waist along with their equipment.

Blood and shattered armor scattered across the earth. And this was only the beginning.

"Surround him!"

The goblin commander riding atop the giant beast in the rear clearly had not expected a single human to tear through their fully formed shield formation head on. But after its brief shock, it immediately reacted.

Its thick arm swung down.

Hundreds of goblins that had originally been advancing forward rapidly changed direction, moving in from both sides to surround Gabriel.

There were spears, crossbow bolts, battle axes, and even large numbers of crudely modified magical weapons. Hundreds of attacks descended toward Gabriel’s position almost simultaneously.

Standing atop the distant canopy, Erin’s expression changed slightly.

"Why isn’t he retreating?"

This was no longer the small scale confrontation from the outskirts of the forest.

Although these goblins were not particularly powerful individually, after two months of war, they had long since learned how to use numbers and formations to encircle and kill high level elves.

Especially those special crossbow bolts powered by magic crystals, even the high ranking warriors of the elven race would never willingly stand still and endure hundreds of such attacks at once.

But Gabriel did not retreat or use more skills than necessary. He was like an unshakable mountain.

His gaze swept across the goblins rapidly closing in around him.

The next moment, a blood red aura erupted from his body with a BOOM!

[Blood Rush!]

His already terrifying physical speed surged once again.

Just as the first wave of spears was about to pierce him, Gabriel suddenly disappeared from where he stood. It was not spatial movement, only pure speed.

Bang!

The goblin at the very front did not even see what happened before its chest suddenly collapsed inward.

Gabriel’s shoulder slammed into its body like a speeding war machine. The corpse flew backward, smashing through seven or eight more goblins before finally stopping.

[Bull Rush!]

BOOM!

A second burst followed.

Gabriel did not choose to escape the encirclement. He deliberately charged straight toward the area with the greatest concentration of enemies.

Crimson Judgement slashed upward from below.

Squelch!

Blood erupted several meters into the air.

Three Ironclad Goblins and a black magical beast larger than an ordinary warhorse were simultaneously torn apart by the blade.

Immediately afterward, Gabriel pivoted, and the sword changed direction again.

Bang!

An enormous iron shield nearly half a meter thick exploded.

The shield bearing goblin hiding behind it had its chest crushed by the flat of the blade, its body flying backward like a cannonball and smashing into the formation behind it.

There was no pause, no unnecessary movement, and certainly none of those flashy techniques that looked impressive but served no real purpose on an actual battlefield.

Every swing of the sword killed someone. Every movement carried Gabriel directly toward the most densely packed cluster of enemies.

In less than a minute, more than two hundred corpses had already fallen across the ground.

What made the elves watching from the rear even more confused was that Gabriel seemed completely unconcerned about being surrounded.

When ordinary people faced an army, their first instinct was usually to avoid being trapped by overwhelming numbers. This human was the complete opposite.

Wherever there were the most goblins, that was where he charged. It was as if the enemy’s numbers were not a problem at all.

Instead, the more there were, the better.

"Lunatic..." an elven warrior muttered.

The elf beside him did not respond because they were gradually beginning to realize Gabriel was not insane. He genuinely had the ability to fight like this.

Whoosh!

A black crossbow bolt clearly different from the ordinary ones suddenly shot toward him from the distance.

Gabriel’s eyes shifted slightly.

Clang!

The bolt was directly deflected by his sword.

But the moment the two collided, the arrowhead suddenly exploded with a BOOM!

Large amounts of black green liquid sprayed in every direction. Corrosive white smoke immediately rose from the ground.

Several nearby goblins that failed to avoid it were barely splashed before their skin rapidly began to rot.

But at the center of the explosion, a figure slowly emerged from the smoke.

Gabriel glanced down at his arm. The black green liquid had already corroded part of his clothing.

But there was no obvious damage to his skin thanks to Iron Skin. Furthermore, this level of attack was still nowhere near enough.

He raised his head. His gaze directly locked onto a large ballista several hundred meters away.

The goblins operating it instantly froze.

Under their terrified gazes, Gabriel disappeared.

"No!" one of them screamed in panic. "Reload! Reload quickly!"

Several goblins frantically turned the mechanism. But there was no time.

BOOM!

The air exploded. Gabriel had already crossed several hundred meters and appeared directly in front of the ballista.

Crimson Judgement rose, then fell.

BOOM!

The entire war machine, built from large amounts of steel and magic crystals, was instantly split in half.

The magic crystals embedded within it lost stability and immediately began releasing dazzling light.

Gabriel did not remain there. Stomping the ground, he shot into the sky.

BOOM!

The ballista exploded completely beneath him. Flames instantly swallowed dozens of nearby goblins.

High in the air, Gabriel looked down at the increasingly chaotic army formation.

There was no emotion in his eyes until a system notification visible only to him flashed at the edge of his vision.

[Ding! You have received 1000 EP.]

The corner of his mouth finally curved upward. As expected, this was what he truly needed.

However, now was not the time to stop. The battle was not over.

Gabriel descended toward the ground again.

Bang!

A goblin attempting to ambush him had its chest crushed beneath his foot.

Immediately afterward, his gaze swept around him.

There were corpses, at least three hundred already. Most of them were not high level.

Individually, the EP they granted was almost negligible. But when the quantity became large enough, it was completely different.

"Since you’re already here..." Gabriel raised Crimson Judgement. "Then none of you need to leave."

BOOM!

His figure charged into the army once again.
