chose would have an even more perfect soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Means of attack and defense on the soul level are the most direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recent attack had already made her realize that Gauss’s capabilities on the soul level were stronger than hers, despite her many years of study in this field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this doesn’t mean that her centuries of accumulation are inferior to his extraordinary talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that after each brain transplant surgery, it’s akin to starting over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the strength accumulated in the soul aspect doesn’t have the thickness of hundreds of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in employing methods involving the soul, she is more experienced compared to ordinary professionals who haven’t had the opportunity to delve into this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, this kind of attack method allowed her to be invincible against many opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, when enemies severed her head and thought they had won, she would unleash a soul roar at close range to shatter the opponent’s soul when they let down their guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you think it’s a bit too late?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss’s water-like weapon condensed into a gauntlet wrapping around his right fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a form of energy distinct from magic power gathered in the gauntlet, pure soul energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul power was significantly stronger than that of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through to Level 5 recently, and his Intelligence Attribute surpassing 15 points, his soul seemed to have been strengthened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the sword soul as a sub-profession also possessed the ability to attack soul bodies using soul energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the profession includes the word sword, using this profession’s abilities isn’t limited to sword artifacts alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a sword isn’t such a cumbersome object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the defensive side, the excellent quality equipment Moonlight Robe, recently obtained as a hunting competition reward, also blocked soul attacks and curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why the old witch’s intended soul ambush failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was attempting to ambush an opponent stronger than herself, one who had no weaknesses in offense and defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for the witch to answer or take any action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss’s dragon-scaled right arm struck like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the instant his dragon claw right hand seized that lone head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp sword soul energy in his palm exploded with mighty soul power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black aura surrounding the witch’s head began to tremble violently as if confronted by a mortal enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzz buzz buzz buzz!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two types of energy from different souls clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One burning like fire, akin to the sun in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other cold as bone-chilling worms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaliyah and her companions battling below with puppets squinted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt the overwhelming pressure from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite no physical movements like turbulent airflows, it felt like a heavy weight pressed on their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was just the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul level attack and defense forms are subtle, yet their intensity is vicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not inferior in the slightest to the brutality of close combat with real swords and guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this bloody invisible battle, Gauss undoubtedly held absolute initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped that head firmly with his dragon claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Increasing the force while continually releasing soul impacts from his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch could only grit her teeth and persevere, striving to maintain the black aura’s defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet those big hands tightened like a noose, gradually making her feel she \"couldn’t breathe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss slammed the witch into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pft!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spurted from her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dual strikes on the soul and physical levels caused her defense to weaken further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the former.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss was the first opponent she encountered with such exaggerated soul strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, she always acted cautiously, hiding for years and \"behaving herself,\" focusing solely on her research and never provoking strong enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professionals oriented towards research face a major disadvantage in actual combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her instances of combat are far too few compared to adventurers fighting endlessly on the front lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she had any, they were against mere ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those slaying experiences are useless against real experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she’s currently in a transitional period, just like molting insects at their most vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sp... spare me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch, enduring intense pain, pleaded for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss didn’t answer her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he fiercely slammed her into the ground’s foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head’s external bone, far harder than metal, appeared fractured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the black aura defense heavily worn, her head seemed less sturdy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I can serve you as a beast of burden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected Gauss to be so \"cold-hearted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch quickly exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost the trump card of soul tactics, she began to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lived for so many years, she hadn’t had enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, the longer she lived, the more she feared death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she didn’t hesitate to hide in the wilderness, dedicating most of her life and energy to \"prolonging life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch’s heart gradually sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to sense the young man gripping her head aimed to end her life resolutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was as cold as a stone devoid of temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch was again slammed senseless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had no time to attend to the excruciating pain in her skull and quickly used her last ounce of strength to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you desire eternal life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you spare me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can teach you the method of eternal life I possess!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this.\u003C\u002Fp>",914,"2026-06-05T18:36:49.310Z",1,"novelbin.me","583e9e29dcc7b4457b21b527566a353fff9e36375a4ff7f3a129ec8fbfa17985","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-576","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-574",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
