Chapter 145

The weakest divine beast can simultaneously beat up ten quasi-gods.

Only in the limit state of a 'quasi-god level' Pokémon is their strength that of a Champion.

But that refers to the limit.

How many can actually reach that limit?

Among so many Pokémon trainers, how many 'Champion-level' ones have there been so far?

……

She snorted and stopped paying attention to the punchable Lu Shu.

"Garchomp!"

"Use Stone Edge!"

Xi Xi Luona commanded.

Watching her own Pokémon get smashed, she felt a sharp pang of heartache.

She wished she could charge over herself and hammer that guy's head in!

Upon receiving the order from its trainer, Garchomp let out a furious, wild roar.

Its claws gripped the descending giant hammer.

At the same time, it lifted its foot and stomped deeply into the ground.

It invoked the power of the Earth element.

【Boom—!】

Amidst a harsh, deafening roar, countless sharp stone spikes erupted from the ground where the goblin squad was standing.

"!"

Carrying the power to crush everything, it instantly pierced and shattered the little green-skins.

Some goblins had their chests punctured.

Some were skewered, with the spikes emerging from the tops of their heads.

Others were simply blown apart by a single strike.

Despite this, even with their soles pierced and leg muscles sliced open—

even with their ghastly shinbones exposed—

and even worse, with their rear ends already blown off—

the Goblin Hero remained crazed, wild, and fearless.

The fierce light in its eyes was even more intense than before, and both eyes had turned a blood-red color of bloodlust.

Suddenly, the giant hammer was raised high!

It looked like it was about to smash Garchomp's head again!

"Are you too weak?"

"Or is Garchomp not acclimated to the local environment?"

"Or perhaps, these goblins have been buffed?"

Just as the giant hammer was about to smash down again, Lu Shu's mocking voice rang out once more!

Suddenly, Garchomp's body vanished.

Xi Xi Luona was shocked.

Where did it go?

Where did my huge Garchomp go?

You actually made it disappear right under my nose?

She scanned the surroundings.

Somehow, it had been swapped into the pile of goblin minions on the side.

And in its original position, replacing it, was a plump, goose-yellow creature with small wings that had appeared out of thin air?

It was nowhere near as burly as the Goblin Hero.

But its fist gave off a reliable feeling.

It hammered toward the Goblin Hero with unparalleled power.

【Boom!!】

A deafening sound pierced the sky!

After the dust and smoke dissipated, Xi Xi Luona finally noticed.

The Goblin Hero had been smashed flat onto the ground by a single punch.

Its head was already gone.

Where its head should have been was a deep, large crater.

And all around it were scattered red, white, and... indescribable things.

Damn!

Is it really this absurd?!

Xi Xi Luona stared with wide eyes (⊙_⊙), filled with tiny doubts.

Looking at the Goblin Hero whose head had been smashed into nothingness, the blonde beauty, who was dedicated to becoming a Champion-level trainer, fell into deep self-denial.

Is this the strength of 'Lu-Seven Paths-Shu'?

And?

Isn't this yellow, chubby creature a Dragonite?

(￣_￣)

You actually evolved a Dratini into a Dragonite in just half a month?

No!

It's one thing that you evolve quickly!

Why is it that when we're both quasi-gods, my Garchomp gets its head smashed, but your chubby Dragonite kills the Goblin Hero with one punch?

So straightforward?

So decisive?

MD!

Isn't this Dragonite's irritable personality a bit too absurd?

The last time I saw such an irritable, stubborn kid was the last time.

It made Xi Xi Luona start to doubt herself!

Could it be that she, a 'Champion-level' Pokémon trainer, had taken the wrong path?

Otherwise, why could this guy, Lu-scoundrel-Shu, evolve to his final form in half a month?

And be so powerful!

She looked at Garchomp on the other side, which was slicing through twenty-some goblin minions like cutting vegetables.

She finally felt a little better.

At the same time, she released Spiritomb, Milotic, Togekiss, and Lucario.

And she herself jumped onto Togekiss.

This mission was sudden.

She hadn't brought too many Pokémon.

But with Garchomp, Milotic, and Alolan Ninetales as the main attackers, and the others as support, it was enough to slaughter them all.

The reason she had been hammered by the Goblin Hero was mainly because she had underestimated the opponent.

Garchomp hadn't suffered any real injuries either.

It was just dazed!

……

Lu Shu thought to himself: As expected.

Goblins were originally beginner monsters with low difficulty, but they had been buffed too much in Goblin Slayer.

The 'rules' of this world were determined by gods rolling dice.

There were also 'gods' above the goblins.

These little green-skins had acquired 'imitation abilities.' Based on their maxed-out breeding capacity and imitation abilities, special goblins could appear, such as Goblin Swordmasters, Goblin Priests, and so on.

Very buggy!
