God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World! Chapter 681: Several Thousand Goblins, Perfect for Leveling Up!

While the elite goblins rushed toward Sophie, the giant goblin pressed its attack against Gabriel, clearly intending to keep him occupied while its subordinates destroyed the barrier.

Seeing this, Gabriel narrowed his eyes.

So that was its plan.

Use its own strength to pin him down, then let the elites attack the root wall from the sides.

Unfortunately, Gabriel had no intention of letting the battle drag on.

Clang!

Crimson Judgement collided with the black spear once more, and the tremendous impact forced both combatants backward.

Gabriel glanced at the elite goblins rushing toward Sophie, then looked at the giant goblin before him.

"You seem pretty attached to that root."

The giant goblin didn’t answer. Its response was another vicious spear thrust intended to impale its opponent to death.

Gabriel suddenly grinned. "Then I’ll have to kill you before you ruin it."

The next moment, a familiar crimson glow spread across his body.

Blood Rush!

Boom!

His already powerful aura suddenly surged.

At the cost of twenty percent of his current HP, Gabriel’s physical abilities erupted to a completely different level.

The giant goblin’s pupils contracted. It hadn’t expected the human before it to possess such a terrifying burst of power.

Before it could adjust its stance, Gabriel had already closed the distance.

Crimson Judgement smashed down!

Clang!

The black spear barely intercepted the blow, but this time, the giant goblin was the one forced backward.

Its enormous feet scraped across the stone, leaving two deep grooves behind.

"What?!"

The giant goblin’s expression changed dramatically.

Such strength!

However, Gabriel had no intention of wasting his limited time listening to its surprise.

Ten seconds was far too short. He needed to make every moment count.

The crimson engravings on Crimson Judgement burned brighter as he pressed forward, using the immense weight of the greatsword to overwhelm the giant goblin’s defenses.

Boom!

Another collision erupted, and this time, the giant goblin’s arms trembled violently as the black spear was knocked aside.

An opening appeared in its defense.

Gabriel’s eyes flashed as he quickly stepped forward and drove his shoulder into the giant goblin’s chest.

Bull Rush!

Bang!

The giant goblin’s enormous body was sent stumbling backward, crashing through several broken stone pillars near the underground entrance.

Blood sprayed from its mouth. Before it could regain its balance, Gabriel had already appeared before it again, Crimson Judgement descending toward its shoulder!

The giant goblin roared and desperately raised its spear.

Clang!

The two weapons collided, but this time, its defense couldn’t completely withstand the blow.

The heavy greatsword slid along the spear’s shaft and tore through the armor covering its shoulder, opening a deep wound.

"ROAR!"

The giant goblin let out an enraged howl.

Dark red energy erupted from the black spear, forming a violent shockwave that forced Gabriel to retreat.

At almost the same moment, the crimson glow covering Gabriel’s body began to fade.

Blood Rush had ended, and a familiar feeling of exhaustion immediately spread through his limbs. He exhaled slowly, his gaze falling on the giant goblin’s wounded shoulder.

Although he hadn’t managed to kill it within those ten seconds, the result wasn’t bad. At least now, its right arm would no longer be able to exert its full strength.

More importantly, the giant goblin had finally experienced what it meant to be suppressed by an opponent.

Its expression was no longer merely angry. There was a trace of fear.

Gabriel noticed it, and the corners of his mouth rose.

"What?" He adjusted his grip on Crimson Judgement. "Didn’t you say you were going to kill me?"

The giant goblin gritted its teeth, blood continuing to drip from its shoulder and staining the dark armor beneath.

For the first time since emerging from the underground passage, it hesitated.

The human before it was far more dangerous than expected.

And that terrifying burst of strength just now... If its spear hadn’t blocked the final strike, it might already have lost an arm.

However, Gabriel wasn’t looking at its injury anymore. His gaze had shifted toward the black spear. That weapon had endured every collision with Crimson Judgement, including his attacks during Blood Rush. Even now, there wasn’t a single visible crack along its surface.

What a treasure!

Gabriel’s smile gradually widened.

Thinking of this, he slowly raised Crimson Judgement again.

Although Blood Exhaustion was still affecting him, he had no intention of retreating. Besides, his natural stats were far beyond those of ordinary professionals.

Gabriel licked his lips. "Come on."

His eyes burned with excitement. "Let’s see how long you can keep fighting."

The giant goblin tightened its grip on the spear, its dark red eyes filled with killing intent as it lunged forward again.

BOOM!

The crimson greatsword collided with the black spear once again. The terrifying impact instantly shattered the nearby stone slabs, forcing even the goblins surging toward the altar to stop in their tracks and retreat.

Gabriel gripped Crimson Judgement, his gaze fixed on the enormous goblin before him.

He had to admit that this fellow was indeed powerful.

Whether in strength, speed, or combat experience, it far surpassed the goblin commanders he had killed previously. In particular, the black spear released a strange corrupting power with every clash, constantly attempting to invade his body.

If it had been an ordinary Hero rank professional, they would probably have been defeated long ago.

Unfortunately, it had encountered Gabriel.

"That weapon of yours isn’t bad," he suddenly remarked.

The enormous goblin sneered.

"Once I kill you, it’ll be the weapon that pierces your corpse!"

"Is that so?"

The corners of Gabriel’s mouth curved upward. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward.

BOOM!

Crimson Judgement descended with terrifying force, its massive blade slamming against the black spear. The enormous goblin raised its weapon to block, but in the next instant, its expression changed drastically.

Too heavy!

Gabriel had deliberately shifted his weight into the strike, forcing the goblin to bear the full weight of the greatsword.

BANG!

The enormous goblin’s feet sank into the ground, and the surrounding stone slabs shattered inch by inch.

Without pausing, Gabriel’s greatsword swept horizontally, forcibly knocking the black spear aside before he delivered a powerful kick to his opponent’s abdomen.

BOOM!

The nearly three meter tall body was sent sliding backward, crashing into an already cracked stone pillar at the edge of the altar and smashing it apart.

The surrounding goblins immediately cried out in shock.

Their commander was actually being suppressed by a human!

The enormous goblin slowly rose to its feet, its dark red eyes filled with fury.

"Human!" It roared as the dark red patterns covering its black spear suddenly lit up.

Buzz!

A dense wave of corrupting power spread from the spearhead. The roots that had only recently begun growing nearby rapidly turned grayish black, while strange dark red patterns appeared across the ground.

Sophie’s expression changed drastically.

She could sense that the spear was forcibly drawing upon the corruption remaining within the withered primary root, one of the seven primary roots connected to the Sacred Tree.

"Gabriel! Don’t let it keep using that weapon!"

Naturally, Gabriel had noticed as well.

In fact, he had been waiting for precisely this moment.

Throughout their battle, he had already discovered that although the black spear could unleash powerful corrupting energy, the enormous goblin needed to channel its own mana into the weapon whenever it wanted to activate that power.

And that process required time, even if it was only a brief instant.

The enormous goblin raised its spear, preparing to unleash its strongest attack.

However, at that very moment, Gabriel’s footwork suddenly changed.

Devil Mirage!
