After taking the lead in killing a goblin spearman, Wang Yang was left staggered and had no strength to evade the first three spears thrust at him, taking the combined damage head-on.
Because Wang Yang was in a staggered state, the damage he took was even higher than usual. The three simultaneous strikes directly cost him one-tenth of his health. Yet the pain of losing a tenth of his health only made him frown.
At that moment, the goblin spearman bringing up the rear finally arrived, raising its spear and viciously thrusting it at Wang Yang.
Having recovered from the stagger, Wang Yang was not about to be stabbed so easily. He raised Boar's Repentance to block the thrust. The rebounding force knocked the incoming spear up into the air, while the goblin spearman that Wang Yang had first struck with One-Handed Straight Sword and a normal attack was thrown backward by the force, exposing its completely unguarded throat.
As naturally as breathing, at the same moment the goblin spearman leaned back, the Wind Flower Sword in his right hand shot straight toward its throat. A cold gleam flashed through the dim labyrinth, and in an instant, the tip of the Wind Flower Sword sank into the goblin spearman's green skin. That strike to the throat directly brought its health down into the danger zone.
Unfortunately, even though he had struck a vital point, the damage from a normal attack was not enough to kill the goblin spearman. If he had replaced the ordinary thrust with a skill, that blow would have been enough to kill the second goblin spearman. The difference might have been no more than Wang Yang taking one additional hit next round, but in the long run, that one extra hit could become the deciding lethal
