Chapter 277 Victoria Falls into Self-Doubt

"oh!"

A playful smile appeared on Goblin Knight Hui's lips.

His deep eyes seemed to see right through people as he stared intently at the elven girl, Victoria, before him.

"Oh, not bad. You actually managed to block my attack."

His words carried a hint of admiration.

But more often it was contempt and provocation.

Victoria gritted her teeth, sweat trickling down her beautiful face.

Her hands gripped the slender sword tightly, barely managing to withstand the opponent's fierce attacks time and time again. There was no sign of retreat in her eyes, only determination and unyielding spirit.

"So strong..."

She sighed inwardly.

Snapped!

In that instant, Goblin Knight Hui suddenly exerted his strength, the tip of his sword flashing with cold light, slicing through the air like lightning and sending Victoria flying.

She crashed into the cold wall like a kite with a broken string, making a heavy thud.

"But it's still too weak."

Goblin Knight Hui shook his head slightly, casually slung his sword over his shoulder, and looked around as if searching for something.

"Huh, he should be here by now! That guy..."

His tone was tinged with doubt, and then his gaze fell again on Victoria, who was struggling to stand up.

"It seems that Ye Yan doesn't want you anymore."

His words carried a hint of mockery, as if he had already foreseen Victoria's isolation and helplessness.

"Why hasn't he come yet? Has he given up on you, or is he in trouble himself?"

Victoria did not answer, but silently raised the rapier in her hand, her eyes fixed on the enemy in front of her, her nerves stretched to the limit.

She recalled Ye Yan's teachings:

[Mom, when you encounter an enemy, don't take your eyes off them, especially if they're bigger than you!]

"You bastard!"

brush!

Goblin Knight Hui's figure appeared before Victoria in an instant, like a ghost.

His sword tip was aimed directly at her throat, and the chilling sword aura seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

"Do you really think you can defeat me?"

block!

With just one strike, Victoria's hand holding the sword trembled so badly that she could barely grip the hilt.

A sharp pain shot through her arm, as if it were being torn apart by the force.

"Ha, go ahead and say it!"

Goblin Knight Hui sneered and swung his sword again.

This time, Victoria could barely hold onto the rapier, preventing it from slipping from her hand.

Her tiger's mouth was already cracked from the impact, and blood dripped down the hilt of the sword, staining the ground red.

"Speak up! You don't actually think you can defeat me, do you?"

Goblin Knight Hui pressed forward relentlessly, each sword strike brimming with deadly threat.

Victoria clenched her teeth and didn't make a sound.

"Or do you think you can get away from me?"

A mocking smile appeared on Goblin Knight Hui's face.

He swung his sword faster and faster, and his attacks became more and more ferocious.

However, Victoria had to use all her strength to block his easily unleashed slash.

In addition, this place is too small, making it impossible to create enough distance to chant the elven spell.

"ha!"

Goblin Knight Hui's cold laugh echoed across the empty battlefield, his voice carrying a hint of disdain and mockery, as if it could penetrate Victoria's defenses.

"Are you waiting for Ye Yan to come and rescue you?"

His words were like sharp blades, precisely cutting through the tension and silence in the air.

Upon hearing her child's name, Victoria's usually icy expression softened.

"Honestly,"

Goblin Knight Hui took a step forward, closing in on Victoria. His voice was low, yet carried an undeniable power.

"Don't you think your existence is superfluous to that Lord Ye Yan?"

block!

This almost caused Victoria to drop her grip on the sword.

Victoria's sword tip trembled slightly, almost unable to withstand the sudden emotional shock.

She struggled with all her might to steady the sword, as if she were also trying to steady her own wavering belief.

"burden?"

She repeated it in a low voice, a hint of pain and struggle flashing in her eyes.

"You know,"

Goblin Knight Hui gave her no chance to catch her breath.

"For your sake, how many of your kind have you made irreconcilable enemies with?"

"Every battle he fought, every wound he sustained, was intimately connected to you."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Goblin Knight Hui stared intently at Victoria, his eyes blazing, and continued his psychological maneuvering.

"He even betrayed the goblin general, betrayed the entire lair, and abandoned his own bloodline for you!"

At this point, Goblin Knight Hui's voice became more impassioned.

He roared angrily, as if he wanted to pour out all his dissatisfaction and accusations at once:

"Is this what you call motherly love?"

"Is this how you call yourself a mother, binding your child with heavy shackles, preventing him from ever flying freely?!"

Snapped!

Suddenly, all around became quiet.

A rapier fell from the sky and embedded itself in the ground.

It emitted a crisp sword-like sound, plunged deep into the ground, and kicked up a cloud of dust.

Victoria held her hands vacantly, a hint of confusion appearing in her once resolute eyes.

Is that so?

She is using her identity as a mother to kidnap her child.

Is what she's doing really good for his child?

Is wanting to be together only her wish?

Victoria didn't understand; it was her first time being a mother.

Foolish, clueless, bad at cooking, and can't even sew clothes properly.

Ultimately, she really didn't understand.

Staring at Victoria, who had lowered her head and was deeply immersed in self-doubt.

A strange, unfathomable glint flashed in Goblin Knight Hui's eyes.

Then, he slowly raised the longsword in his hand, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, as if even the air itself had frozen.

So, stop jeopardizing your child's future.

He spoke these words in a low and resolute tone, each word like a heavy hammer striking Victoria's heart.

The words fell, and the sword fell.

brush!

block!

However, at this critical moment, a sharp gust of wind ripped through the air.

A long spear shot out like a silver lightning bolt, accurately blocking the falling sword.

"What are you doing?!"

Ye Yan raised his eyes and looked angrily at Goblin Knight Hui.

Seeing this, Goblin Knight Hui not only did not back down, but instead burst into laughter:

"Haha, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for this moment."

His laughter carried a hint of madness and provocation.

"Of course, it's to kill this—elf!"

Before the words were finished, an astonishing power erupted between the spear and the sword, and the two forces collided, producing dazzling sparks.

Under the force of this immense power, Goblin Knight Hui was directly blasted away.

His body slammed against the wall like a kite with a broken string, making a dull thud.
