43 Not Enough Luck

"Damn, having this much audience sure is annoying."

Izuku observed his surroundings and noted that more and more goblins gathered to watch the duel.

"It's only been around 13 goblins but now, it's more than 40. I don't think I can handle all of them after I finish with this one. I will require Blackie's help." Izuku concluded after warily analyzing his surroundings.

Finally, after a few moments of staring each other down, Goblin King made his first move and waved his long sword towards Izuku's neck. Despite their height difference, the longsword made up for Goblin King's handicap.

Seeing the sword approaching, Izuku ducked down and swiftly avoided his attack. He quickly counterattacked with his dagger and grazed him on the cheek.

Feeling his dagger sliding across his target, Izuku smiled and confidently said,

"This will be much easier than I thought."

With Izuku's dagger, he inflicted the bleed effect upon his enemy.

The Goblin King licked his cheek and looked at Izuku in contempt.

He turned his head towards his minions and shouted,

"Gargah!!"

"Guguga!" "Guguga!" "Guguga!"

Out of fear for their own lives, they quickly accepted King's orders and encircled the two of them while making the ring smaller.

'Damn, there isn't much space to dodge now. It seems like he figured out my dodges will be troublesome and he has taken countermeasures.'

Izuku tightly gripped his dagger and jumped straight at the Goblin King. The Goblin King in return made an attempt to attack Izuku, but he dodged his longsword without much trouble.

"Even if you encircle me, you are still too slow!" Izuku laughed.

The Goblin King didn't bother to dodge and received Izuku's attack head-on. Izuku pierced his chest and it looked like a fatal blow, but to his surprise, Goblin King didn't even flinch. He looked at Izuku and grinned.

"Shit! This is bad!" Izuku started panicking.

The Goblin King dropped his longsword on the ground and grabbed onto Izuku's hand that stabbed him a few seconds ago. His nails cut deep into his arm and Izuku could feel what The Goblin King was going for.

"Damn it!"

He tried resisting but unfortunately, wasn't able to defend himself.

The Goblin King twisted Izuku's right arm with both of his hands and Izuku's arm made a horrifying cracking noise.

*Crack*

"ARRGH! Shit! Blackie! Help!"

Seeing that his host was in trouble, Blackie quickly moved from his original spot to help him. However, Gobling King ordered his army of minions to intercept him and to stop him at any cost.

Poor goblins threw their own lives to block him as much as they could.

Even though they weren't able to deal any damage to him, they could still stall for time.

"Damn! Blackie is fighting other goblins and there is no space for me to summon him... What to do..."

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull his already broken arm out of Goblin King's grasp.

In those few seconds, Goblin King twisted his arm into a weird shape. Izuku tried punching him a few times while screaming out in pain, but it didn't do enough damage.

"LET ME GO!" Seeing that punching him wasn't working, Izuku used Ajin's scream.

It's been a long time since he used it. He didn't even use it on Toga because he knew that it would be pointless. He could have easily defeated The Goblin King with this ability but he wanted to try out his strength against someone who was around his level, even if it was a monster.

Screaming his ass off, Izuku managed to temporarily paralyze his enemy.

He used this chance to get his hand out of his grasp.

With a furious look on his face, Izuku took out the dagger out of the Goblin King's torso and continuously stabbed him in the face. Despite being quite durable, there was no way he could have survived Izuku's continuous onslaught.

"Wow, That's pretty nice, however, I don't know if the concept of luck even works. When I was young, I quickly figured out all of my stats other than luck.

It's so mysterious. Can I use luck to dodge enemy attacks easily, win a lottery or do bosses drop more items?" as Izuku was contemplating, Blackie finished the last goblin.

"I've met the requirements. Let's try it out."

Izuku put his left hand in front of him and yelled out, "Explosion!"

*BOOOOM*

An explosion which equaled a hand grenade in terms of power echoed in the area.

Tons of wild animals left the scene in fear and the leftover goblins which Blackie didn't manage to spot, started running away from the place even faster.

Izuku proudly smiled as he had finally fulfilled all of the requirements for his new skill, however, just as he was about to celebrate, he felt a stinging pain in his hand.

He looked down at his left hand in confusion, just to see that 3 of his fingers were no longer present while his pinky and his ring finger were badly disfigured.

"Wh-What?"
