Chapter 22 - Photon and Shade

Over thousands of them exploded in one go. All in the head of our lonely warrior, PSI.

The Light Goblins' leader and the Shadow Goblins' leader were hit. They both bounced off, their light and shadow making mats.

Gazing at the explosions' smoke, the Light Goblins' leader said, "Is that all you got...? Did you just die like that... How annoying."

The Shadow Goblins' leader said, "I don't think he's dead, though." His voice cutting, "He... he must be kidding. He needs to be alive. What about us...?"

PSI screamed, with a mocking expression on his face, "I'm honored... But you see, I'm not that kind of man. I only like girls."

The Shadow Goblins' leader said, with an offensive look, his voice shaking as he spoke, "You've got the nerve to joke at a time like this... Then... you must have the nerve to dare fight with us. Huh?"

The Light Goblins' leader sat down, crossed his legs, and leaned on his hand, resting his elbow on his crossed legs, and said, "You are hella terrifying. How did you survive that one?"

Shifting his gaze toward the dead goblins, the exploding ones, and those who still risked it and created mega-large bulbs they couldn't carry, he said... "Although I expected something like this, yet I still don't know how you cut off the goblins' heads by touching them like it's nothing. You used the water and tried to make us forget about it... It worked with the other goblins, but in fact, I don't think it worked with us."

PSI smiled and said, "Just be careful... I won't care about you like you did, guys. And I'm pretty rude."

The Shadow Goblin sat down while smiling and said, "This bitch is fine, for real..."

PSI looked like he was off guard. Of course, he looked off guard all the time, but this time he was talking back and joking for a reason.

Suddenly, the sand gathered around his legs and pulled him underground. Right when his neck reached the ground, the sands stuck all over him, holding him straight.

The Wind Goblin came flying through the air, holding a wind spear in his hand, and threw it right in front of PSI's face, thinking it would kill him.

But that's why PSI thought the Shadow Goblin and the Light Goblin were more intelligent than the others.

He stored the wind attack in his inventory and fired it back with another door, right from behind the Wind Goblins' leader.

In mid-air, the Wind Goblins' last race died as well. What's worse... he died by a wind attack. PSI stayed right in his place.

The Sand Goblins' last person screamed emotionally while his tears dropped from his face. His throat dried with nothing but pure pain. He went into berserk mode over losing sanity.

The Wind Goblins' leader's last words were, "Run away... run... Don't fight him... Run." His voice felt like a whisper.

In berserk mode, he threw PSI out of the ground, and the sands followed and caught him in the air in a moment...

The berserk Sand Goblin ran to him with killing sand arrows, aimed at PSI. The Sand Goblin had already jumped forward from the ground, using the sand as an external force. In a moment, the Sand Goblin reached PSI with the spears. PSI broke the sand formation that was holding him. He didn't just run—he punched the Sand Goblin right in the face and dragged him down to the ground.

He then backflipped by stepping on the Goblin's body, and when he retook his position, he jumped on the Sand Goblin's face.

Dragging him down to the earth, he stepped on his face until the last moment. When they reached the ground, he didn't hesitate—he landed on his face. The Sand Goblin's face hit the ground before his body because PSI was stepping on it.

Half his facial bones broke down... And eventually, PSI touched the ground.

Then PSI stopped, looking at the dead goblins, and walked forward, saying to the king, "Only two left..."

The Goblin King laughed a very satisfying laugh. His voice anchored and, with rage, said, "Now show me you deserve my attention. I will fight you."

PSI, with a blank expression, turned around and said, "You two, let's fight until death... Let's finish this."

In a moment, a light bulb exploded right in his face. PSI entered his inventory, leaving out only a strand of his hair.

From inside, he jumped outside, gushing with insane speed. A luminous punch just killed his jaw, sending him up into the sky.

PSI was shocked; his eyes were blurry. The only thing he saw was a light coming upward near his face.

He looked flabbergasted downward, tilting his head. A light figure was accelerating upward. In a blink of an eye, the light just passed, holding his neck. In a moment, he was thrown up into the sky even faster and harder.

PSI choked on blood, clinging to the light figure. He outstretched his hand, positioning it to click. As soon as he tried to make a click, a shadow figure clung to his wrist and smashed his fingers.

The grip around his fist intensified, steadily increasing pressure. As it broke all his fingers on both hands, the shadow figure said clearly, with a whispering smile in his ear, "I know you cut off the necks of people by clicking. It's a trigger, isn't it? Too bad we noticed."

PSI was shocked. The voice was familiar.

'This voice... it's the Shadow Goblins' leader's voice... So that light must be the Light Goblin... I must throw a punch no matter the situation. I need to survive this one.'

"The hell is this speed..." PSI said while choking on blood.

"Nah, you haven't even seen a thing," the white goblin said.

"Nah man... hahaha... haaaa... nah, that's speed limit, isn't it..."

"Blabber all you want... you're as good as dead..."

"Yeah, the fight is over anyway..." PSI slipped through into his inventory.

A new mechanism was learned.

PSI popped out another door far from the Light Goblin and Shadow Goblin. They both turned around, shooting explosive attacks while swinging their hands.

Explosive light reached PSI...

The Light Goblins' eyes widened as they saw PSI jumping in and out of his inventory using different doors.

It wasn't possible for PSI to do that, since he might have ended up sinking deep inside the inventory...

But now, he had used so many mechanisms that he was able to do it.

As soon as he jumped out of the inventory, he fell from the sky... The Light Goblin stared at PSI, shocked.

PSI turned around while falling... He tapped his temple, spinning his index finger in a tight circle.

The Shadow Goblin ran down to reach PSI. When PSI reached the clouds, he sank deep into them. The clouds devoured him...

The Shadow Goblin raised an eyebrow, clenching his fist. He said, "Humaaaaaaaaan."

He punched thin air right in front of the clouds. The clouds scattered, flowing like smoke...

He tilted his head. "Damn, where is that human...? Wait, the human can't fly..."

The Shadow Goblin turned around to his left before gazing up at the Light Goblin.

He saw... the Light Goblin's hands falling in mid-air...
