Ch. 71 - The Final Match

Translator: Icecherry

Editor: Yuki

The Shinjuku dungeon was packed with people for the final match, which was to be held an hour after the semifinals. The ring was surrounded by a crowd of people, and there were skirmishes and even beer vendors a short distance away.

"There's only one match left. The strongest goblin will be decided. It's time for the final match.”

"Entering Ejin - Kojiro pair!”

The crowd was excited at the entrance call. The crowd cheered even louder as a mysterious looking Ejin and Kojiro entered the ring.

"Entering the Nameless - Faceless pair!”

BOOOOOOOOO！

The boos were much louder than the previous cheers. They’re very popular. On top of that, Ejin is waiting for me in the ring with a glare on his face.

"What? That's quite a greeting for our first meeting."

"Cut the crap, Negishi. How much do you intend to play with?"

"Until called by God."

"Would you like me to send you to God right now?”

"Stop it, you two! You're not the ones fighting. Now get your ass out of the ring."

I was snapped by Ijūin and exited the ring, and the bell rang after the MC's voice.

"Whoa, what a surprise! The Faceless is fighting Kojirō with his sword! What the hell is going on?"

"Actually, in both fights, Faceless moved well. It's just that his fighting style was too cunning."

"I'm really surprised! The Faceless are fighting like normal. It's amazing!"

"It's like when a delinquent does something good.”

"Faceless is getting to grips with Kojiro's sharp sword. He never lost."

"Faceless is handling this one calmly.”

"Two sword flashes, and the venue goes silent. Is this really a battle between goblins? This is so different from the goblins we know!"

"It's really amazing."

"This is a fierce battle worthy of the finals. The whole world will be awestruck and enthralled by the goblins.”

"I can't take my eyes off it.”

"I can't wait to see what happens next.”

The sharpness of Kojirō's slashes is gradually increasing. He seemed to be a slow starter. His reactions are starting to slow down. He should take action soon.

"Faceless!"

Faceless, who responded to my voice, swung his dagger, and while Kojiro stepped aside, he rolled backwards, stuck his hand into his magic pouch, and pulled out daggers one after another.

"What are you going to do with the daggers?"

"Gogya gogya go?!"

"Do it like this"

"Koshiru da yo." (T/N: Do it like this in goblin’s language)

Faceless uses [Telepathy] to levitate his dagger, and holds it up himself.

"Go!”

"Gii――!"

"The daggers are dancing in circles. A single swing of Faceless will attack Kojiro multiple times!”

"It's a [Telepathy] skill, but the level of skill is amazing!"

"But will Kojiro survive through it? Why can't he hit him?”

"For the first time in this tournament, Kojiro is being attacked unilaterally.”

"He ducks and ducks with his sword, and he doesn't get hit. It doesn't hit him."

"Well, that’s a little bad for Faceless."

"What do you mean?”

"Goblins can't continue to use [Telepathy] forever. They have a limit as monsters.”

"A limit?"

"Yes. No matter how hard you try and hone your skills, there are some barriers you can't overcome.”

"That's right..."

Fuck. It's more than I imagined. Is it because Kojirō is amazing, or is it because Ejin was the one who trained him? Is it possible for a goblin to take that many slashes?

The [Telepathy] weakens, and one by one, the swords fall and are silenced. The end seems to be approaching little by little.

The last of the daggers that had been floating in the air rolled over with a clang, and all he could rely on was the dagger in his hand. He may not even be able to swing his sword anymore. He just stood straight up and looked at Kojirō.

"Kojiro, do it!"

"Gi!"

[Zantetsuken]. (T/N: Sword that cuts iron.)

Kojirō's sword slipped through the dagger and blew away the mask.

"Goemon!!!!"

While everyone was at a loss for words, the only sound was the Wakutsu’s shout echoed.
