Life Before Becoming an Omniverse Entity-Chapter 102: Fight

*SWISH*

The wind howled as Renan swiped his hand, and the heads of the Level 1 goblins fell.

*THUD*

*THUD*

"Blame your luck that my wife doesn't like you all, and well, I don't either," Renan said as he swiped his hand again.

*SWISH*

Renan swiped his hand, expecting the heads of the Level 3 goblins to be severed, but it looked like it was not going to be that easy.

Because just as his wind blades were mere inches away from severing their heads, an overwhelming amount of mana surged out of the cave in the form of pressure, dissipating the blades. And with that came a voice that echoed with a 'BOOM.'

"How dare you," the voice thundered, loud enough to echo through the forest, hitting Renan like a shockwave. But Renan didn't move from his place. Instead, he looked toward the cave with an annoyed expression.

"To try and kill my race members," the voice completed its sentence, carrying clear anger.

"Huh," Renan sighed in frustration, running a hand through his hair.

"As expected, it was not going to be easy. And it looks like I'm definitely going to suffer some injuries," Renan spoke aloud, visibly irritated at the thought of getting hurt.

'Husband, if you don't want to, you don't need to do this now. I can wait until you're strong enough. Although I really hate them, I can at least tolerate their filthy presence for my dear husband~,' Elaris spoke sweetly, her voice directly entering Renan's mind.

'Nah, I can't have that. If my wife doesn't want them on her planet, then they can't be here. And unlike that dwarf dungeon where I had no escape, here I can retreat if things become too dangerous. So don't worry, just sit back and watch your handsome husband wipe them out while looking cool,' Renan said, the last part laced with narcissism.

'Okay~,' Elaris chuckled, falling silent to let Renan focus on the fight.

And so, Renan began walking toward the cave, each of his steps making the goblins' bodies tense as they realized they were no match for him.

*THUD*

*THUD*

"So you don't value your life?" the voice from the cave spoke again, filled with disdain.

Renan didn't reply but continued to walk, his expression serious. When he came to a halt just a few feet away from the cave's entrance, the voice spoke once more.

"Huh Don't want to talk?" it asked.

Renan still didn't respond, focusing instead on his own movements.

He crouched down slightly, assuming a stance like he was about to draw a katana. But there was no katana in his hands. Instead, his fingers positioned as if gripping an invisible blade, his posture exuding deadly intent.

"Well, well, since you wish for death, I shall grant it," the voice said, its tone dripping with malice.

"You talk too much," Renan spoke for the first time, and just as his words left his lips, a green light materialized in his hands, shaping itself into a katana formed entirely of wind.

His red-golden eyes shifted to a clear white, a halo appeared behind him, and a mark emerged on his forehead.

Yes, Renan had transformed, unleashing his true form.

And as soon as his transformation was complete, he drew his wind-formed katana in a diagonal motion aimed directly at the cave.

What followed next was as if the wind itself had gained consciousness and attacked with a will of its own.

*SWISH*

*SWISH*

The overpowering mana pouring out of the cave in waves of pressure was unable to stop the attack. All the goblins standing outside were wiped out in a single slash, and the cave itself sliced cleanly in a diagonal line.

*TAK*

Debris fell as smoke billowed into the air, obscuring the view.

"Hmm," Renan narrowed his eyes sharply, sensing something amidst the smoke.

And then, a massive figure emerged from within, towering over Renan, nearly twice his height.

"You bastard!" the figure bellowed, its voice filled with rage and agony, as if Renan had taken everything from him.

With a roar of fury, the goblin hurled a massive fist at Renan's face.

Renan barely moved, sidestepping slightly.

*BOOM!*

The ground where the goblin's punch landed shattered violently, the impact resembling an explosion.

*SWISH!*

The wind howled, sending dust and debris flying, cloaking both combatants in a veil of smoke.

And amidst the swirling dust, Renan's voice rang out.

"I thought we were going to talk first, then fight," he said mockingly, the smoke clearing just enough to reveal him standing unscathed beside the goblin's cratered fist.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The goblin roared in fury, standing back up and preparing to throw another punch at Renan. But before he could-

*SMASH!*

A brutal impact sent the goblin hurtling backward like a ragdoll, crashing into trees before coming to a stop.

"Huh, did you really think I was just going to stand there and take your punches, idiot?" Renan spoke, a hammer resting on his shoulder. His eyes locked onto the goblin as it slowly stood from the debris.

Renan observed the goblin more closely this time, noting the changes.

"Hmm, so you're a Level 4 goblin. Not much different from the regular ones—just bigger and stronger," Renan remarked, analyzing his opponent.

The Level 4 goblin didn't respond immediately.

It angerness from a second ago nowhere to be seen like the hit got him out of his frenzy state.

Instead, he turned his gaze toward the cave, his hands clenching into fists.

"It's my fault… If I hadn't underestimated this bastard, my brethren wouldn't have died," the goblin muttered, his voice trembling with regret.

"But don't worry… I will take revenge for you all!" he declared, finally turning his gaze back to Renan.

Renan raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Quite sentimental, aren't you?" he taunted.

But the goblin's expression didn't change. He remained composed, serious, unaffected by Renan's attempt at provoking him.

'Tch, it didn't work,' Renan thought. He knew this Level 4 goblin was on equal footing with him in terms of strength. If he could push him back into his previous frenzied state, where he mindlessly threw punches, the fight would be much easier.

'It's going to be difficult,' Renan concluded, shifting his grip on his weapon.

The hammer in his hands began shifting shape, its form morphing fluidly until it became a katana.

"Hmm, what? Trying to make me lose control so you can win easily?" the goblin suddenly spoke, proving he wasn't a fool.

"Correct, smart-ass," Renan admitted shamelessly before vanishing from his spot, his speed incredible. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared above the goblin, his katana raised high above his head, ready to strike.

Just as Renan's blade descended, the goblin's necklace shone brightly. In the next instant, a saber materialized in his hand, and he swung it toward Renan in retaliation.
