The Place Where Everything Begins

*Scrooch...*

At this moment, after receiving such a strong strike from Jeremy, the creature was now skidding on the yellow dirt with its two feet, creating two shallow grooves along the way to some meters away.

When the young outlander finally stopped scrubbing with the dirt ground, it inhaled deeply before letting out the breath from his mouth...

*Guuuu...*

Then the yellow skin creature turned to look at Jeremy, who stood at some distance away, with hateful eyes.

How could it not feel a tad bit resentful towards Jeremy after being hit left and right, causing it to feel numb on its left arm?

Because the young Goron's physical strength was roughly the same as Jeremy's first opponent, causing the former to be somewhat weaker than Jeremy physically.

Even though the yellow skin outlander hadn't received any wound on its body just yet, it was still hit left and right ever since the fight started.

Unbeknownst to the furious Goron, Jeremy also felt quite frustrated for not being able to leave even a tiny mark on his opponent's skin.

Nevertheless, the young Goron had gotten angry for real...

"Die, human!"

The furious Goron shouted aloud while swung its rocky shield in Jeremy's direction.

Simultaneously, the rocky shield suddenly disintegrated into many small pieces before whizzing towards Jeremy swiftly.

'Damn...'

Jeremy cursed within his mind while 'time' seemed to slow down for a split second as his eyes were observing intently to find a gap between those shrapnels, but there was really none as more than 30 shards were coming towards him at the same time...

Still, if there was no gap, Jeremy had to create one instead then...

At this moment, Jeremy suddenly swung the spear obliquely from above, intending to hit as many rocky shrapnels as possible.

*Whoosh*

*Clang* *Clang*

*Clang* *Clang*

The sounds of the steel spear hitting against the sharp rocks rang out more than four times continuously...

Which meant Jeremy had simply deflected more than four sharp shards with one spear strike...

Even so...

*Clatter* *Clatter*

*Clatter* *Clatter*

The clattering noises from the sharp stones clashing against a filmy barrier around Jeremy rang out more than several times at almost the same time...

At last, Jeremy mana's field projection was activated for the first time in this fight, causing him to lose some of his limited mana.

'Well, that's almost 1% of my precious... Fuck!'

Right when Jeremy was thinking about his precious mana...

*Tumble* *Tumble*

A rounded rocky boulder suddenly came rolling in his direction swiftly...

*Rururururu*

The rocky ball skidded on the ground, creating strange noises for any onlooker to hear...

At this time, Jeremy had no time to dodge at all as it seemed like the moment the furious Goron had unleashed its shrapnels, it promptly transformed into its rolling mode, not intending to give Jeremy a room to breathe whatsoever.

Thus, Jeremy could only grit his teeth and held the spear shaft horizontally with two hands, aiming to use it as a contingent shield.

A split second later...

*Clang*

*Siiziziziiziizi*

Followed by the clanging noise was the sound of the hardened rock spinning and churning rapidly against the steel shaft...

*Schrooooch...*

Meanwhile, Jeremy's feet constantly skidded on the yellow dirt with a scrooching noise, creating two shallow grooves along the way.

After some seconds...

*Grunt*

Jeremy, who was holding the spear shaft tightly, had bulging veins appear on his forehead and arms like they were about to implode from within.

*Schrooch...*

After Jeremy was dragged almost four meters behind by the rolling Goron, he promptly jumped up from the ground and hurled his body to the right side while still gripping the spear haft firmly.

As a result, the spinning Goron went past Jeremy's body swiftly, heading towards the wall while still rolling on the ground the same as earlier.

*Rururururu*

The rolling Goron went further and further away from Jeremy...

Not long after...

*Boom!*

The noise of impact echoed out boomingly for the second time ever since the fight started...

Meanwhile, the people sitting on the stone seats above the wall also cheered and stimulated the battle even more...

"YAYYYY!!!"

"More, more!!"

"KILLL!!!"

"I want to see blood!!"

"Kill him!!!"

At this time, around the arena's center area...

*Fwuu...*

Jeremy, who had just landed back on the ground, eventually let out a long breath after finally escaping from the tough predicament, unscratched.

Right now, the young Goron, who had just hit the wall earlier, also stood up from the ground while using its two hands to hold its big head in pain.

"Ah... headache... My head is spinning like shit!" The young Goron cussed at the feeling of dizziness it felt right now.

After some seconds, the dazed Goron finally raised its head to look at the black-cloaked human and spoke up with a mocking expression,

"Hehehe, your weapon is broken now. What will you do, human?"

When Jeremy had heard such a childish taunt, he only replied back with a playful smile,

"Nah... I still have a trump card or two left in my sleeve. Also, instead of mocking me, won't it be better to take a look at your own dumb head?"

Upon hearing the human's words, the young Goron got perplexed at first before it suddenly realized something.

"My dumb head...?"

The Goron mumbled lightly. Then it raised its long right arm to touch its 'supposed' smooth forehead...

"It's wet..." The young Goron mumbled to itself again.

Afterward, it brought its now-wet hand to the front to take a look carefully...

*Drop*

*Drop*

Suddenly, some orange blood droplets fell on the ground...

"Hell... My head is bleeding!"

The young Goron said in surprise and captivation as if it had only seen its own blood for the first time.

Well, it might indeed be its first time seeing its own orange blood...

Then the mesmerized Goron raised its head to look at Jeremy, who stood almost twenty meters away, and said,

"You are capable enough to make me bleed."
