It hit the ground with a light thud, staggered slightly, then bolted through the underbrush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The badger didn’t hesitate. It followed relentlessly, single-minded in its pursuit. It didn’t care about anything else—just the fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t stop until one of them was dead. Scary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox’s pace slowed, its breathing growing ragged, and this gave the Stonehide badger the chance to close the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ember Fox, in an attempt to escape, activated its skill:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Blazing Mirage].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in an instant, a burst of heat shimmered across the trail, and multiple blazing copies of the fox scattered into the woods, darting in different directions, tails ablaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the badger didn’t fall for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t hesitate. It ignored the illusions completely, eyes locked on the real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had memorized the real one’s scent, and could now tell the original from the fakes without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The badger quickly caught up to the fox and pounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emberfang Fox whirled around just in time, unleashing a barrage of blue flame arrows. Each one exploded on impact, engulfing the badger in flashes of searing light and smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as before, the badger charged through it all, seemingly unfazed. It barreled into the fox, the impact sending both of them tumbling violently across the forest floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crashed to the ground in a flurry of fur and fury, claws raking and tearing into one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed as the two beasts snarled and snapped. The Emberfang Fox fought with everything it had, but it was clear it was at a disadvantage. The badger’s claws were sharper, its weight heavier, its rage more focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing it couldn’t win in close quarters, the fox kicked off with its powerful tail, using it like a springboard to hurl itself backward and create distance from the maddened beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emberfang Fox began unleashing its flame attack once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, as always, it did nothing to slow the badger down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature barreled through the blue fire, undeterred. The fox narrowly avoided the charge, using its tail to pivot and gain some distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it didn’t run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It skidded to a stop, panting heavily—its flanks rising and falling in exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like the fox had finally given up on fleeing. It was going to stand its ground and fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it did... it was certainly going to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their earlier brawl had drained much of its strength, while the badger still looked full of rage and stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a guttural snarl, the badger charged again, claws ripping at the earth beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when I usedWarp, reappearing at the badger’s side. The creature screeched to a halt and leapt away, though not before it managed to swipe a claw in my direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, its first instinct was to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment its claw came for my midsection, I warped—vanishing from the badger’s line of attack and reappearing a few paces ahead, boots crunching against the forest floor. Steam curled from where I’d just been, a sharp gust left behind from the sheer force of its swipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We now stood in a loose triangle—me, the badger, and the fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...both beasts had their eyes locked on each other, not me. I was the third wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The honey badger moved, its claws digging into the dirt as it barreled toward the fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, the Emberfang Fox let out a sharp yelp and unleashed another stream of shimmering blue fire, aiming to slow the badger’s approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood off to the side, completely ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a glance was spared in my direction. How rude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used [Warp] and reappeared beside the badger, just before it could reach the fox. Without wasting a second, I drove my foot into its ribs with all the force I could muster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The badger grunted—a low, guttural sound—as it was knocked off course and tumbled sideways across the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t wait. My hand flew to my side, and I drew Gravefang, the blade humming faintly with anticipation. My stance shifted—low, balanced, ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox, realizing the opportunity, didn’t hesitate. It spun around and bolted into the underbrush, its flaming tail flickering like a dying torch as it vanished into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The honey badger recovered faster than I expected. Its eyes—dark, intelligent, and filled with rage—snapped toward the fleeing fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was going to chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I [Warped] again, blinking directly in front of it, my blade between us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no... me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast skidded to a halt, snarling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost, Goblin!\" it snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ittalked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course it did. It was an Elite beast. That was the common trait they had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept my smile sharp and easy, eyes locked on its bared fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This doesn’t concern you!\" the badger snarled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no... me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The badger flashed its teeth in frustration, but I simply grinned back at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox was still fleeing, its movements clumsy and panicked, but determined. It was gaining distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, the badger would lose its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So with no other option, it turned its fury on me and lunged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I warped, dodging cleanly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It snarled, twisted, and struck again, but I blinked away at the last second. And then again. And again. Each failed attempt only fed its frustration, its attacks growing sloppier, more desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the Emberfang fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running with everything it had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too bad\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The badger pounced again, jaws wide, saliva flying, ready to crack my skull in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that effort was about to go to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even glancing at the...\u003C\u002Fp>",1006,"2026-06-05T20:04:08.077Z",1,"novelbin.me","5edccdc501d462aceb4f7ab42ee1500b1dc353f11ce3e1724367a359793d9b86","goblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-chapter-320","goblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-chapter-319",375,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgoblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-cover.jpg"]
