Expedition (5)

As Lendra charged forward with wild, destructive movements, Nord's fighting style was far more refined. 

The man wielded his dagger in a deadly, flamboyant dance, slashing and stabbing precisely at the goblin's vital points. 

Sahmira joined in, trapping the creatures within freezing ice blocks. When they shattered, the goblin's bodies broke apart, their organs torn to pieces. 

Yet, the goblins reassembled themselves, regenerating their wounds and rising again as if nothing had happened. 

"Heh, let's see who lasts longer—my stamina or your courage!" 

"Kkuek." 

"Stop!" 

Sahmira's sharp command made both Lendra and Nord halt immediately, their senses on high alert. 

"They're acting strange." 

Unlike before, the goblins writhed in agony, their wide eyes bulging as if about to pop out. 

"Oh, I knew my attacks wouldn't be in vain. It's only a matter of time." 

"I think this has nothing to do with your attacks."
