vol 2 chapter 3 – My first KILL

I was approaching the front of the clinic. I open the door and step in front of the idiot sons.

“Oh my God!”

“What the fuck!”

“A new kind of goblin!”

“Hee-hee!”

“Aah!”

My idiot sons are surprised to see me.

“Hey, give me back my hobgoblin!”

“He’s talking!”

The foolish sons began to chatter noisily and consult each other. The villagers, who had heard the commotion, looked at my sons and me from a distance.

“You’re a cunt!”

“Hee!”

The villagers were startled by my sudden outburst.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

The idiot son who finally decided that this was a human talked to him.

“I don’t care about that, I want my hobgoblin back.”

The foolish son frowned for a moment and was at a loss for words. Then, with a look of arrogance, he said: “I don’t know about that.

“I don’t know anything about that, you’re just messing with me.”

That’s the reaction I expected. I knew he wouldn’t give it to me straight away. But he sounds like a thug from a cheap drama. I laughed a little.

“What are you laughing at?”

“It’s a pain in the ass. Just put your forehead on the ground, apologize sincerely, give me the hobgoblin and the money and I’ll give you a break.”

“What the fuck?”

The idiot son started to lose his temper. He was a country DQN, or rather a country DQN.

“You can kill him and throw his body in the woods, go ahead and do it.”

His son shouted, and his cronies came at me.

“Come on!”

One of the entourage was hitting me while making a shout of bare cock. Telephone punch A slow fist is slowly approaching. Dodge punches that are likely to yawn by moving sideways half a step.

Aiming at the empty face, I shot a straight fist. Goblins did not affect the philtrum, but will otherworldly people understand them?.

I’m sure you’ll be able to understand why.

Human experimentation of different worlds failed. With the sound of something crashing, my fist was deeply sunk, and my face was depressed…

There’s no philtrum or shit, and this is instant death. I killed a person for the first time, but I wasn’t shocked more than I expected.

On the contrary, I was surprised that he died so quickly.

I’m in the middle of a fight. Maybe the psychological damage will come later. Despite these thoughts in his head, his body had already made its next move.

I kicked the ground with my right foot, turning the energy generated by my upper body forward into a lateral thrust. This is one of the karate body manoeuvres to accelerate rapidly from a standstill.

After the thrust, he accelerates from a standstill and thrusts a Kante-nukite into the throat of one of his cronies, who is frozen in place with a stupid grin on his face.

It was the first time I’d ever felt such a sensation. He took a half step to the side with his right foot and used his left foot to kick backwards.

The sole of his foot slammed into the side of the head of one of his weaker cronies, who was standing near him.

The stunned son of an idiot panicked and tried to pull the knife from his waist, but it was too late. I hit him squarely in the knee with my heel.

“Ugya ah ah.”

The knee joint bent in an upside-down “ku” shape and pointed in the opposite direction. One of the last of his cronies ran away screaming.

“Hiiiiiiiiii!”

I ran as fast as I could, drove a flying knee into the spine of the fleeing crony, grabbed him by the back of the head and slammed him face-first into the ground.

Zuzaza and the surrounding body pushed by my propulsion slide on the ground. The face was scrapped on the basis, and a line was drawn with blood as if a line was drawn with red paint…

My legs bent in the opposite direction, and I approached the screaming idiot’s son as he stumbled around.

“Heeey, don’t you dare!”

I shouted, spitting in his face, which was crumpled with tears and drools. I swung my hand knife at his head.

The hand sword was reduced to about two-thirds from the head to the face, and the stupid son had convulsions… The light of life had disappeared from the muddy eyes.

Strangely enough, he did not feel guilty for killing the man, nor did he think elated for killing the villain. I was bewildered by the fragility of my opponent’s body.

I had thought I was weak by the standards of this world, struggling against a hobgoblin. The fact that they were so soft made me feel very uncomfortable.

My foolish sons were so strong against me.

They had defeated a hobgoblin, so I figured that if there were at least five of them, they would be able to beat the hobgoblin.

However, when I tried to fight them, I found that they were weak. The way they were going, they would never be able to beat the hobgoblins. He was so stupid that he couldn’t even calculate the difference in strength between him and his opponent.

After stopping the idiot son, I realized that I hadn’t heard the location of the village chief’s house.

While I was regretting that I should have asked him where his house was before I stabbed him, men from the village armed with swords, spears, hoes, sickles, etc. rushed towards me.

The back of them stood a small, fat man who wore better clothes than the rest of the villagers.

“Filippo, oh my God, my son…”

The fat man, who seemed to be the mayor of the village, had tears in his eyes as he looked at the dead body of his stupid son. He was a scoundrel, but he cared for his son.

“You will not be forgiven! You will be tortured to death!”

The chief, his eyes bleeding with anger, shouted at me.

“It was your son who attacked me, it was self-defence.”

“Shut up, I don’t care about that! Don’t you think you’re going to die easy?”

While talking to the chief, he checked the equipment and the number of attackers. There are eight of them. There are only three who have the proper equipment. The rest have regular clothes and farming tools.

The man with the shield and one-handed sword looks the most troublesome. Next is a spear. The last is a man with a two-handed sword. The peasants who use farming tools as weapons are similar.

The threat level is set. The opponent is not information. You have to keep an eye on the three of them and reduce their numbers so that you are not surrounded.

In cartoons, the strongest opponent is defeated first to put psychological pressure on the opponent. But this is not realistic.

If you are surrounded while fighting a strong opponent, you will be in trouble immediately. Usually, you would start with the weakest opponent and work your way down.

I went for the strongest one, the one with the shield. It’s easy to imagine that it would be tough to defeat an opponent with a shield with bare hands.

Defending with a shield is not just about holding a shield to prevent it.

It’s a matter of angling the attack and letting it slide. Push back with the shield. The angle and the amount of force used depends on the attacker. It requires a very high level of skill.

In this world, where there is a skill system, that skill maybe even more refined. That is why we aim first.

You’ve probably never practised defending yourself against a bare-knuckle attack. They are naturally stronger with weapons than with bare hands.

In a world infested with monsters, it’s hard to imagine that humans, who don’t have as strong a body or as sharp claws as the monsters, would go to the trouble of honing their bare-knuckle fighting skills.

That is the aim. If seen, there is a risk of being dealt with. So the first aim for a shield. Accelerate at a stretch and approach the shield holder.

The moment you enter the sword, the shield holder comes out with a compact thrust… Slower than I expected. Before the stab hits me, I dodge the stab with plenty of time.

While dodging the sword sticking out toward the heart, shoot a middle-stage roundhouse kick. The shield holder held the shield to catch the kick.

When the kick was released, I bent my knees while folding my legs and changed my legs’ angle by swinging my heels up… I switched from the middle stage to the upper stage, like swinging down and released a kick.

It is a kind of upper roundhouse kick called Brazilian high kick. The shield holder gets hit by a roundhouse kick that suddenly changes from the middle stage to the upper stage with an angled swing down…

The moment the kick entered the temporal region, the spear was projected aiming at my neck. I noticed that the spearman was approaching with a sign, I dodge the spear with plenty of time.

The spearman who was stabbed made a surprised face for a moment. After that, it shoots a thrust continuously. Perhaps it’s the influence of skill, and it’s a lean and accurate thrust.

Although it was an accurate thrust, the aim was monotonous, and the trajectory was easy to read…

The speed of the thrust itself was not so fast, as if the player’s level was not so high. But the length of the reach is a problem.

While I was dodging the spearman’s thrust, the two-handed swordsman and the villagers started to move around me with their farming tools.

As I dodge the spearman’s thrusts, I approach the two-handed man who had been standing behind me. It’s a defenceless back, now’s your chance, come on, attack.

I pretend to lose my balance when I fail to avoid a thrust. If you were to look at him, you would tell that he was acting because of the position of his centre of gravity, but the country villagers would not be able to make such a judgment.

The two-handed swordsman holds his long sword, which looks like a thinner version of a monster hugger, high above his head. He was about to swing his sword at my back when I turned my back to him.

I jumped into the two-handed swordsman with his back turned and stabbed his left elbow into Suigetsu while facing backwards… The two-handed swordsman, who was pierced by the emptiness, is delayed in reaction and will attack adequately.

The counter is not the body, but the one that pierces the gap in the heart. The day will come when you will practice your teacher’s teachings in a different world.

While thinking about that, grab the two-handed swordman’s back collar with your right hand and throw it…

The back was smashed, and the air in the lungs was pushed out, and the two-handed swordsman who stopped moving stabbed his foot sword in the neck…

At that moment, the spear man’s thrust flew away, but it was crazy… Easily dodge and take a distance. It seems that you like to poke a gap, but the timing is the same, and it is easy to read.

The best time to take advantage of the gap indeed is after you have stopped the attack. But the second time, it’s easy to see.

I think it’s more beneficial to interfere and maintain the strength so that they don’t stab you in the back. As I was thinking this, a brave farmer came at me from behind with a sickle.

I moved my right hind leg half a step inwards and turned round, changing from orthodox to southpaw with my back to him.

Karate was initially designed to be used against many people. When it became a competition, it became a one-on-one sport, and the idea of making use of the dominant hand was born, as in boxing. Initially, both left and right stances were used.

It is a technique that can be used to deal with attacks from any direction. He would quickly turn around and drop the mallet onto the arm holding the sickle.

When the farmer drops his sickle in pain, he is already hit in the face by a left-handed thrust. He pulled his fist out of his sunken face, and with a gurgling, sticky sound, blood poured out, and the farmer fell.

The farmer who had been watching screamed in pain.

While the farmer with his farming tools is cringing, I take down the spearman. I take a southpaw stance and go into an extreme half stance. I pull my chin back, bring my left hand under my chin and bend my right hand to protect my liver.

I approach the spearman with a distorted hitman style stance. The spearman does not use anything but thrusts. Maybe he is not good at it. In this posture, I can only aim at his eyes, thighs and knees.

As I approached him, the spearman unleashed his first attack of the day. He cleaves the spear as if to strike me from the side. I advance further and dodge the tip. The handle slams into me, but I guard it well.

I wondered if it was because of the thrust’s slow speed, but then again, this guy is not that advanced. It hurt a little, but it was easy to catch.

He firmly grabbed the spear and pulled the spear with his physical strength due to the difference in level. The spearman was trying his best not to let the spear go with him.

When I let go of his hand, the spearman lost his balance. I close the distance at once and unleash a right tick thrust. The spearman backstepped and dodged.

I closed the distance and threw a crescent kick with my left foot. In the upper leg, Jyosei-tei pierced the opponent’s liver.

I could feel his ribs shattering and his liver cracking under my foot. The spearman held his side, vomiting blood and shouting inaudibly.

At that moment, the spear man’s thrust flew away, but it was crazy… Easily dodge and take a distance. It seems that you like to poke a gap, but the timing is the same, and it is easy to read.

I crushed the spearman’s head with my heel. I look around, feeling a sickening sensation in my feet.

The shield man is dead and not moving at all. He was lying on his face, submerged in the blood that flowed from his head.

The peasants with their implements, who have lost the will to fight, do not seem to be approaching, as if they are entirely broken. It’s not that I have anything against them.

There were five of the idiot’s cronies, three fighting men and one brave farmer, nine in all. If you include the village chief, there are exactly ten. If we lose that many men, this village will be finished.

After I have a good talk with the chief about compensation, I can pay him back tenfold for trying to kill me. As I was thinking this, a man came out of a nearby house.

I could feel people in the house, but I thought they were scared and hiding in the house. He was not.

It took him a while to put on his plate metal armour, Puto Armour, and here comes the rascal.

Glossary

Telephone Punch

A punch with such a sizeable preliminary movement often derided as a telephone call telling the opponent that you are about to hit him.

Brazilian Kick or Brazilian High Kick

An irregular upper turn kick that was the speciality of the Brazilian athletes of Kyokyu Karate.

The kick’s trajectory is unique in that it changes suddenly from a lower or middle level to an upper level.

Suigetsu

Refers to the lower part of the abdomen. Because the sympathetic nerves are concentrated in the back of the lumbar region, it causes strong pain when it is attacked.

Depending on the timing, the movement of the diaphragm stops for a moment, causing breathing difficulties.

Hitman Style

Also known as the Detroit style.

This is the stance used by the legendary world champion in boxing history.

It is a unique style in which the front hand is held in an L-shape.

Tick Thrust

A thrust made with the hand in the same direction as the foot stepped.

It is like a jab in boxing, but it is different from a jab because it strikes with the body.

It is not as effective as the jab, but it is more powerful.

Nohito strikes with a vertical fist as if he were pressing his whole body weight against it as if he were thrusting.

Vertical Fist

Commentary. I regret it, but I don’t regret it.

A fist with the thumb pointing upwards. If you fold your thumbs up, you can make a vertical fist.

When the arm is fully extended, and the fist hits the ground, the little finger is squeezed, and the wrist is dropped quickly in the direction of the little finger.

The index and middle fingers, which are aimed at by the fist, line up straight with the wrist and arm bones, and the impact is fixed.

The fist is subjected to a strong load, so there is a fracture risk, but the destructive power is outstanding.

Crescent kick

A kick with a trajectory halfway between a front kick and a turning kick.

Because it is kicked not with the shin but with the upper foot’s sole, the degree of difficulty is high.

It is called a crescent moon kick because the middle trajectory draws a crescent moon (there are some theories).
