Just as Leo was about to ask a few more questions, his head jerked up as another goblin entered the clearing. This one was equipped with an iron sword in hand and was a bit bigger than the ones from before. It appeared to be looking for something as looked around the clearing
"Kek! Kiek! Kiii! Kree!"
it called out as if it was barking orders before its eyes settled on Leo. Unlike the ones before it, the goblins eyes were vigilant as it eyed Leo, perceiving him as a threat. From its back, it grabbed a small buckler and raised it up, on guard for any attack Leo might throw at it.
Seems we are out of time! You ready Leo?
. "I'm all good to go"
Leo leapt to his feet bounced a bit on the balls of his feet as he punched his palm, a lust for battle washing over him, acclimating quickly to this world of violence. His wounds had long since healed thanks to the potion he had drank earlier.
With a snarl, the goblin lunged forward, stabbing its blade towards Leos heart, in response, the young man shifted his weight to the side, using one of his gauntlets to parry the blow, while he used another to throw a punch at its head.
The goblin grunted as it tried to recover from the parry. While off balanced, it managed to raise its buckler in time and blocked the counter but was left stumbling backwards. Leo however did not chase after it, instead flipping his arm, opening his palm and beckoning the goblin to come at him in a taunting manner.
The goblins forehead twitched as it grew aggravated, it roared as it charged again, swinging its sword down in a heavy chop. Leo once again sidestepped the blow, using his left foot as a pivot, he spun counterclockwise and sent a backfist to the Goblins temple.
This time, the blow connected cleanly with the goblins head, causing it to jerk to the side after it was hit in the side of the head. The gauntlet covered blow stunned the goblin, causing it to stumble as it tried to regain its bearings. Not missing the chance this time, Leo then used his right foot to pivot back, using the bladed edge of his gauntlet to slash at the goblins chest
A loud scream filled the air as blood splashed from the goblins chest. The goblin took a few steps and took a deep breath. Having a bad feeling about what would happen if he did nothing, Leo launched himself forward at the goblin, using one of his legs to try and kick the goblin in the chest to cut off its breath.
Leo had miscalculated the distance as he was still unused to his new speed, getting much closer than he had intended to and before his brain could react to it, his leg was already rising to kick. The goblins face contorted in extreme pain, silently screaming as it was deprived of its breath as the sound of eggs breaking reverberated through the forest.
Leo had unintentionally kicked the goblins crotch so hard that its legs lifted off the ground. Even Leo grimaced at the brutality he caused accidentally. Leo felt extremely guilty as the goblin looked at him with its beady eyes somehow looking pitiful.
'We know that the goblins before it were degenerate scum....but this one acted like an honourable warrior. Our Partner is a cruel man it seems
"It was an accident! I swear. Nothing deserves to be kicked like that! Even Goblins!
Astras casual remark made Leo feel even worse about himself as he watched on, trying to find some sort of justification as he could only watch on as the goblin, unable to stand any longer, fell over holding its crotch, tears streaming down its face as it whimpered in agony. However that noise soon faded to nothing.
"No one has to know right Astra?!"
'We wont tell a soul'

[Title Achieved: Cruelty of Man]
Leos face slowly unfroze from the shock as he had to try come to terms with the fact that he had just killed a goblin by kicking it in the balls really really hard.
Trying to distract himself from what even he himself considered to be inhumane, he turned his attention to the new title he had gained.
