Boom.
With a loud crash, Woodwose was sent flying. He had mistaken Shen Fei for the likes of Boggart and Muramasa, only to be blasted away by Shen Fei's counterattack with Excalibur.
"Wind King Hammer." After knocking Woodwose away, Shen Fei immediately released the magecraft bound to Excalibur. Magical energy transformed into invisible sword force and swiftly caught up to Woodwose in midair. Unfortunately, Woodwose shattered it with a single swipe of his claw.
Shen Fei had originally intended to use his Noble Phantasm, but considering that it required charging time and had a high chance of being dodged, he had chosen Wind King Hammer instead.
Compared to the mechanical gods of Olympus, an opponent like Woodwose—powerful and roughly human-sized—was much harder to deal with when their strength was comparable. Even with a supreme weapon like the Black Barrel on Chaldea's side, it still had to hit its target.
"Just a mere Goblin." After Woodwose shattered Wind King Hammer and landed, Shen Fei immediately sneered.
Having been repelled and mocked by a human he looked down upon, how could Woodwose, chief of the Fang Clan, possibly accept that?
"Don't get carried away just because you blocked one of my attacks." As he spoke, Woodwose took a deep breath. Powerful magical energy erupted from his feet, and he instantly appeared before Shen Fei. The ground where he had stood had shattered across a radius of more than ten meters.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The clash of weapons rang out without pause. In the blink of an eye, Shen Fei's sword and Woodwose's twin claws had collided dozens of times. Then both men grunted and stepped back. Three claw marks appeared on Shen Fei's left shoulder, while Woodwose's abdomen was drenched in blood.
*How did they defeat such a strong opponent back
