The Place Where Everything Begins
Chapter 100 - The HalfElemental Race, Goron (1)After some seconds, the Goron, who had heard Jeremy's words for the second time, finally opened its thick lips to talk but with a cautious expression,
"What do you want?"
"Well, you can talk, huh." Jeremy said teasingly.
'It seems like the stronger the enemy is, the more emotions and sentience they will have... The System is indeed incredible; how can it create these living creatures anyway?'
Jeremy thought to himself ponderingly after hearing his opponent's reply, as it seemed like he only wanted to test the mind's capability of the Goron, that's all.
Upon witnessing such a mocking word from his opponent, the young Goron furrowed its rocky brows in annoyance before saying,
"Hmph! Of course, I can. I'm not mute. Will you tell me now, what do you want?"
"Nah... I'm just teasing you earlier. Anyway, do you have a name?" Jeremy replied and asked with a smile towards the annoyed Goron.
After hearing the opponent asking for his name, the young Goron thought for a bit before deciding to answer truthfully,
"Yes, my name is Gorogorogomugomuno."
Upon hearing the young outlander's long name, Jeremy's eyes widened in amazement for a bit...
"Oh, what a frickin' long name you have here. As for mine, it's simply Jeremy. Emm... By the way, who gives you the name?" Jeremy introduced himself and asked the young Goron once again.
"..."
When the yellow creature had heard those words, it suddenly got stunned, having an uncertain-looking expression...
"I... well... I don't quite remember that." The young Goron replied in confusion after trying hard to think about who had given its name.
Was it his mom? But who was she?
Was it his dad? But who was he?
Or was it an ophan?
'Well, it looks so confused; did I just make it doubt its own life?'
Jeremy thought wonderingly after knowing that the creature in front of him actually had a name.
After all, it was pretty surprising for an artificial creature to have a name.
Nonetheless, it won't be surprising anymore if the said artificial creature was created by the System and bestowed its name by the same System.
At this time, the confused Gorogorogomugomuno suddenly shook its head to discard the unnecessary thoughts from its mind and finally said,
"That's enough; you will die soon anyway, so no more talking. Let us start already..."
After saying so, the impatient Goron, who stood more than ten meters away, suddenly raised its right arm before swinging the said arm in Jeremy's direction.
Strange enough, the rocky hides were suddenly detached from behind of the Goron's right hand, subsequently flew towards Jeremy swiftly at almost half of the bullet's speed.
At first glance, the attack looked fatal, and nobody would love to use their body to tank such a thing...
'What an impatient guy...' Jeremy thought lightly after seeing the Goron had suddenly attacked him out of nowhere.
At this time, Jeremy didn't stay idly as he slashed the spear horizontally at the incoming projectile made of sharp rock.
*Whoosh*
*Clang*
When the two objects hit one another, the clanging sound rang out within the arena...
"Woahh!!"
"KILLL!!!"
"Go ahead and kill him!!"
The cheering sounds came pouring in from the seating people incessantly when the first clashed began...
As if responding to the audiences' bloody desire, Jeremy constantly kicked off the ground and dashed towards the standing-still Goron.
*Tabdak* *Tabdak*
*Tabdak* *Tabdak*
Jeremy's footstep noises resounded out within the arena, but they were all drowned in by the crowd's cheering voices...
Right when Jeremy finally reached halfway towards the yellow creature, the latter suddenly swung its two long arms in Jeremy's direction at the same time.
*Whoosh* *Whoosh*
Two sharp yellow rocks were flung towards the approaching Jeremy swiftly, whereas Jeremy had already calculated where those two would land on his body. Hence, he swung his spear towards the two, aiming to intercept them at the same time...
*Clang* *Clang*
After the two consecutive clanging sounds rang out, the two flying rocks were deflected away from Jeremy's dashing path as they dropped and skidded on the ground behind him...
When the young Goron saw its attacks being deflected away so easily, it was amazed at the human's fighting capability.
However, a kid was still a kid as it suddenly said towards the incoming Jeremy in confidence,
"You are good, human, but I'm better than you in close-range combat."
Upon finishing its boast, the arrogant Goron sprinted towards the approaching Jeremy quickly, not intending to let the latter have the initiative in the melee.
'Nah... I know your race better than you do, kiddo.'
Jeremy thought annoyingly when he saw the enemy didn't want to lose out, rushing straight at him to engage in a melee battle.
When the two sides had reached the optimum range for Jeremy to attack, he did so without any hesitation.
*Whoosh*
Jeremy slashed the spear down in a slant angle towards the rushing Goron's arm area, creating the whooshing sound from the long spear moving through the air...
"Hmph!"
Upon seeing the incoming spear blade, the young Goron only harrumphed in scorn. Simultaneously, the rocky hides from behind its body started expanding and extending towards the front side, covering its entire left arm with white-yellow hard rocks within a split second.
*Clang!*
"Ahh!?"
The clanging sound echoed out loudly from the clash, followed by the young Goron's surprised voice.
Even though the yellow skin outlander had received no wound from the spear blade earlier, its body was still flung past Jeremy's body to some meters away to the left side.
It indeed felt surprised at the human's physical strength...
However...
Upon regaining its balance back, the young Goron promptly dashed towards Jeremy again with explosive speed.
Simultaneously, Jeremy also slashed the steel spear horizontally towards the Goron's neck.
Just like last time, the rocky hides from behind the yellow creature's neck expanded towards the front side, covering its neck entirely in a split second...
*Clang*
The young Goron flew to the side once again, without being able to reach Jeremy at all...
Right when its body had hit the ground, the young outlander suddenly curled up to the ground in front of it, making its body become round like a ball with its rocky body parts facing Jeremy.
*Tumble* *Tumble*
The curl-up Goron spun and rolled towards Jeremy like a car wheel...
'Well, I'm afraid my spear blade will be chipped after this battle.'
Jeremy thought annoyingly after seeing the rolling Goron coming towards him swiftly.
