I would have been overwhelmed by force if I stopped. Having
such a thought, I kept my center of gravity low and moved beside the
enemy, aiming for the opened flank of the abdomen before swinging a
horizontal attack. This time was the same as well. Even though I had
the feeling, I couldn’t break through the simple scale mail, and only
managed to send maybe 5-6 sheets of metal flying.

SHARPEN YOUR OWN SWORD PROPERLY! I told off the owner of
the sword in my heart, dodging the counterattacking strike that came
swinging down from above. The thick blade of the machete pierced
through the ice floor on the ground, and I shuddered in fear of the
goblin’s arm strength.
