The Goblin King rises from his imposing throne, the jagged spikes adorning its arms and back glinting ominously. In its gnarled hand, it clutches a longsword that seems to hum with latent energy. This monster, undoubtedly at High Rank, exudes an aura that hints at an even more formidable prowess – perhaps nearing Master Rank. Kim Suho narrows his eyes, a subtle frown creasing his brow as he senses the overwhelming power emanating from the enchanted blade.

To be frank, Suho doesn’t feel any threat from the Goblin King, but the sword seems special.

The cavernous chamber echoes with the metallic scrape as the Goblin King brandishes the longsword. The air crackles with anticipation, and Kim Suho, ever attuned to the subtle energies around him, recognizes the dangerous potential that weapon holds.

As the Goblin King takes a step forward, the Hob Assassin slinks into view, a shadowy figure barely discernible against the dimly lit backdrop. This smaller yet equally vexing adversary operates on a different level. At High Rank, the Hob Assassin possesses an uncanny affinity for stealth, moving with a sinister grace that seems to defy the laws of sound and sight.

The Goblin King bellows with a voice that reverberates through the cavernous chamber, "BRING… THEIR. HEADs… TO. ME!" Even the Goblin King has awakened sentience, a complication adding to the already fraught situation. The goblins, stirred by their leader's command, erupt into cheers, brandishing their weapons with gleeful anticipation.

Amidst the chaotic clamor, Kim Suho's resolve remains unwavering. "I won’t hold back," he declares, and with a swift execution of his spatial movement, he materializes before the Goblin King. The swing of his sword is swift and unrelenting, a manifestation of his desire to cleave through anything in his path. The Goblin King, though prepared to parry, remains oblivious to the true extent of Suho's power – a cutting prowess that transcends even the boundaries of concepts.

As the clash between Kim Suho and the Goblin King unfolds, a sudden alert pierces the air. The Hob Assassin, ever the elusive adversary, emits a guttural sound, "Grah!" Transmuting into a blur, the assassin effortlessly outflanks Suho, navigating the shadows with a proficiency that keeps even the seasoned warrior on edge.

In a split second, it becomes evident that it's too late to halt the collision. Kim Suho's sword connects with the Goblin King's, and with a precision that echoes through the cavern, Suho's blade slices through the Goblin King's weapon as if it were a knife through tofu.

Surprisingly, intelligence gleams in the Goblin King's eyes, and in an unexpected move, it surrenders its sword, leaning backward. Kim Suho, momentarily perplexed by the creature's actions, realizes that his strike didn't reach the Goblin King. His sword misses by a mere few centimeters, and as Suho scans the scene, the culprit becomes apparent – the Hob Assassin, who skillfully pulled him at the last second, cunningly preserving the Goblin King's life.

As the Hob Assassin closes in, an eerie screech emanates from its throat, "Raah!" The assassin's dagger approaches with deadly precision, one aiming for Suho's eye socket and the other at his throat. The proximity is too close for Suho to effectively swing his sword, and in this perilous moment, the dance of blades takes a treacherous turn.

Though the situation appears grim for Kim Suho, he remains far from defeated. Gripping his sword with both hands, he takes a moment to assess the dire circumstances. In a swift and calculated move, he flicks the hilt of his sword with a single breath, targeting the left elbow of the Hob Assassin. Simultaneously, he expertly elbows the right elbow of the Hob Assassin, creating enough space for him to launch a counterattack.

Pivoting his left foot back, Suho seizes the opportunity and swings his sword with precision. The blade cuts through the air with a determined force. The Hob Assassin staggers, unable to evade Suho's well-timed strike. As the blade connects, the assassin crumples, and with him, several more goblins intent on swarming Suho are brought down. The chamber echoes with the clash and thud of bodies, while Suho exhales turbid air from his lungs.

The Goblin King's eyes blaze with hatred as it utters a vehement command, "DIE, HUMAN!" In response, it conjures another longsword, the magical energies swirling around the weapon adding an ominous aura to its form.

Kim Suho, ever perceptive, recognizes the nature of the Goblin King's weapon. It's magically bound, much like his own. Understanding the potential risks, Suho decides to engage the Goblin King once more at close quarters, utilizing his spatial movement. However, Suho's spatial movement is linear, lacking the fluidity of Hyon's, making him less adept at appearing and disappearing seamlessly.

The Goblin King, now demonstrating a newfound strategy, opts not to confront the human head-on. With minimal movements, it deftly dodges Suho's advances, displaying an unexpected agility. Seizing the opportunity, the Goblin King attempts to counterattack, a testament to its evolving strategy in the midst of the intense battle.

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos of the cavernous seventh floor, Oh Jaejin is entrenched in a relentless battle against the goblin horde. He wields his magic with precision, dealing as much damage as he can to the relentless creatures. By his side, Yi Yook-Ok stands guard, a stalwart spear protecting him from the frenzied onslaught of goblin attacks.

As Oh Jaejin focuses on dispatching his foes, he is astounded by the sight of Kim Suho weaving through the monsters with unparalleled efficiency and effectiveness. Suho's combat prowess is nothing short of monstrous, a force to be reckoned with in the heart of the goblin swarm. Jaejin, momentarily taken aback, can hardly believe what he's witnessing.

Yet, Oh Jaejin understands the urgency of the situation. While Suho engages the Goblin King, he continues to press forward against the goblins. Oh Jaejin, displaying his own formidable skills, keeps the Goblin Shaman at bay with intermittent fireballs, preventing the goblin caster from intervening directly in Suho's duel.

The Goblin Shaman, its eyes gleaming with malice, finally decides to address the other two humans first before aiding its liege. With an eerie cry, it announces, "Kyah~! DARK SPHERE!" Two ominous orbs materialize in its left and right hands, and the Goblin Shaman, double casting, hurls both spheres with malevolent intent in Oh Jaejin's direction.

Oh Jaejin, quick to grasp the imminent threat, retorts with determination, "You want to throw hands, huh? Fine, come and get some!" Opting for quantity over quality, he unleashes Fire Bolts with rapid succession, transforming himself into a magical machine gun. The barrage of magical projectiles easily destabilizes the dark spheres, causing them to explode in the midst of the goblins. The fiery eruptions further diminish the already dwindling numbers of the monstrous horde. Unrelenting, Oh Jaejin redirects his Fire Bolts toward the looming figures of the Goblin Shaman and the Goblin King.

Yi Yook-Ok, standing steadfast by Oh Jaejin's side, subjugates any goblin that dares to enter her range. Her spear dances with lethal precision, and she watches over Oh Jaejin with a vigilant eye. Even in the midst of battle, she finds a moment for a playful remark, "Jay, make sure that there is no friendly fire."

Oh Jaejin, still caught up in the intensity of the magical onslaught, replies with a hint of uncertainty, "It will be fine… I think…"

The Goblin King, despite fighting valiantly, finds its efforts futile against the relentless assault from both Kim Suho and Oh Jaejin. The Goblin King's resistance only prolongs its suffering, as the combined onslaught weakens its defenses. Sensing the opportune moment, Oh Jaejin unleashes a relentless machine gun barrage of Fire Bolts, creating a chaotic symphony of magical explosions that further weakens the monstrous leader.

Seizing the opening, Kim Suho, ever swift and decisive, rushes in. With a calculated employment of his spatial movement, he blurs through the air, outflanking the Goblin King with a precision that leaves no room for the monster to react. Suho's sword arcs through the space as he swings with unwavering determination. In a swift and decisive motion, the blade connects, beheading the Goblin King.

As the headless creature crumples to the ground, an immediate transformation begins. The Goblin King's form dissolves into an ominous miasma, its essence unraveling as Suho mercilessly cuts through not just flesh and bone but the very concept and soul of the creature.

Yi Yook-Ok, her spear still gleaming with the remnants of the battle, grins confidently. "It looks like we are almost done," she remarks, a glint of triumph in her eyes.

Oh Jaejin, catching his breath amidst the lingering echoes of magical explosions, acknowledges the progress made. "Only the Goblin Shaman and the Goblin bunch remain," he notes, a hint of determination in his voice. The cavernous seventh floor, once filled with the chaotic clamor of battle, now bears witness to the aftermath of their relentless efforts against the monstrous horde.
