Rebirth Of Abium 5 Chapter 5 – Survival

It clutched the club tightly and swung it harder towards his head. He immediately ducked and evaded that attack, but after that, he got slightly distracted and lost his balance.

While he started falling, Abium suddenly thought of utilized this chance. He knew fighting against this monster using the strength was nearly impossible. Goblins would always enjoy making their opponents struggle and enjoy that.

He planned to use that to fool this Hobgoblin. So, when that hobgoblin noticed him lost balance, it stopped its attack and gave a sinister smile. There was a ridicule expression that appeared on its face.

Everyone halted their actions when they noticed the servant boy was in danger. Some soldiers even tried to move towards his direction to shield him. Because if he died now, others would undoubtedly die in the hands of Hobgoblin later.

Even though they were shocked at this young servant boy's sudden transformation, they still moved to help him. Hobgoblin, too, ceased its movement and haughtily stood in front of him.

When it saw Abium's pale face and battered figure, it also loosened its guard. It stupidly thought already won the fight with a foolish grin on its face. Abruptly Abium seized the moment without delay and bounced forth towards the Hobgoblin.

He speedily flew near the Hobgoblin, and at the same moment, he imbued the remaining mana into his sword. The sword edge changes from basic sword aura into an intermediate sword aura, and it resembled like sunshine.

Within the following movement, his sword pierced into the heart of that Hobgoblin.

Next moment, Hobgoblin's eyes soon filled with fright; It never predicted to be stabbed here, and its face looked panic-stricken.

"GRRRRR"

An angry growling sound resounded inside that forest.

Although It tried to escape, Abium didn't give any chance. The next moment Abium slashed his sword at that Hobgoblin's neck and decapitated its head like a b.u.t.ter.

At the last moment, Hobgoblin stared at Abium with a disbelieving expression and took its last breath.

This unexpected turn of the event made soldiers and goblins to halt their fight. Cheers reverberated everywhere. Then those surviving goblins noticed their boss was dead then they quickly dispersed in all directions.

There were no casualties on their side, but everyone was exhausted and tired.

After a few minutes, everyone gathered their stuff and moved to the nearby area. Abium also approved their decision because the blood would draw the attention of wolves, kobolds, to the battle area.

Abium observed these soldiers and noted they only practiced basic battle qi cultivation techniques and didn't seem to practice any sword techniques.

'Why those n.o.ble households and other organizations always try to monopolize cultivation techniques?'

These sword techniques were top secrets for the houses or organizations. In the past, due to Oliver's kindness, he learned a basic sword technique.

After pondered for a second, he made up his mind and planned to give these soldiers a few techniques. He knew If he didn't teach them anything, then these soldiers' lives would be very miserable in the future.

When Viscount hears about the ambush, he will put a wanted list on their heads to make sure none of them would survive.

And If somehow Viscount learned that all the soldiers and servants were still alive, then he would even dispatch army soldiers to kill them, using reasons like a spy of another kingdom.

Why was that Viscount Gauvain so cruel towards ordinary peoples? No one knew the answer. But you could quickly found many types of those n.o.bles all over the continent.

Also, these types of incidents always occurred in many n.o.ble houses. Some n.o.bles would go on any length to eliminate these soldiers because spreading bad news about their household would harm their reputation.

Abium protected these people from those monsters, so he would not let their lives killed by that selfish n.o.ble. He cleared his throat and spoke with a heavy voice.

"h.e.l.lo, everyone! I have a message to tell you all. Please don't go back to Viscount's household to report about this incident."

All of them stare at him with different eyes. Because that's something, everybody would generally do. He sighed and continued.

"If you go back and tells them about Johnathan's schemes and betrayals, they will only arrest you instead of Johnathan. And lock you all inside the prison in the name of investigation. While others are waiting for the result, You may be dead already."

Soon some of their expressions turned pale, and servants started to cry in a panic!

They were still innocent soldiers. If someone told Abium like this in the past, he would also won't accept that. How could Viscount punish them instead of Johnathan? But this was the reality.

Abium raised his hand and signaled them to quiet down a bit and continued,

"When Viscount tells the citizens that you all abandoned your duty and fled from the battleground rather shielding the young master; many will reconsider. Some may raise questions; nevertheless, they will finally keep their mouth shut not to make Viscount angry."

Soon their expressions filled with terror.

"I have a way to resolve this predicament, but lacked time because I am not stronger enough to protect you all. Everyone has to wait for six full moons to show yourself to the outside world. During that time, all of you must conceal your ident.i.ty and hide from others, even from your family!"

Everyone slowly agreed to Abium's words. Next, he appointed a leader for this group because these people might become his core strength in the future.

In these soldiers, Abium remembered some of their ident.i.ty. So he selected a soldier named 'Claude' because he helped Abium during his childhood days; besides, he was a trustworthy soldier. He was a middle-aged man and grey, curly hair neatly coiffured to reveal a thin, tense face. Abium selected him as a leader and invited him.

"Uncle Claude! Please be as the leader for this group, and I will also give all of you some training methods, which may boost your strength. But everyone must sign a soul contract."

Claude just approved by nodding his head.

Once they learn about the contract, they were reluctant at first, then after listening to his explanation, all of them accepted. They were aware that there was no way of return to their peaceful lives.

The soul contract was performing an oath in the name of Qrevna G.o.ddess of Judgment, and if anyone breaks the promise, then the contracted people must bear the consequences.

Soon all of them vowed themselves in the name of Qrevna to not reveal anything about him and the techniques. Once the contract was over, there was a slight change in the surroundings,

And soon, some mark placed into their very souls.

Once everybody completed the soul contract, Abium wrote down three advanced battle qi cultivation techniques and one advanced sword technique.

It took him approximately two hours to flawlessly copy the techniques from his memory.

"I copied these three cultivation techniques based on elemental affinities. With these three advanced techniques, and it will help to improve your tier quickly, so use it to practice harder."

After that, Abium taught the basics of these cultivation techniques.

"First is an Iron skin cultivation technique; this is a defense based cultivation technique, earth element affinity or metal elemental users can practice this.

The next one is the Quickstep cultivation technique; this is a rare agility type technique practiced by wind element, darkness element affinity users.

The final one is the Herculian strength cultivation technique, which is a full attack type and can be practiced by all affinity users."

Once he finished the explanation of the cultivation technique, he soon took out another manual and continued.

"Next is the sword technique. If you practice continuously, then everyone will able to reach intermediate level mastery."

, "Don't bother regarding your family safety because Viscount won't involve anyone. Also, everyone must move to Baron Bernard territory and stay hidden. He is a low key and won't bother anyone if you didn't alarm him."
