Dragon's Sin in the World of Danmachi

Chapter 30 : Combat

Gaining some confidence despite the fact that one of his arms was injured, Tristan began to charge towards the group at a speed that would humble a high level 2.

Seeing his foe's charge, a sadistic yet angry smile has formed on Golg's face as he leaped towards Tristan, small cracks forming where his foot had been.

Seeing this, Tristan swung a vertical arc of his shortsword towards Golg with the intention of ending him then and there. To his credit, Golg managed to block it with his gauntlet, an unpleasant sound of metal was produced from their clash for a good three seconds. Golg then grabbed Tristan wrist holding his weapon then taking advantage that his left was defenseless. He aimed to strike towards his left side.

Tristan managed to lean a bit just in time to avoid Golg's blow , then surprising Golg a bit when Tristan held his broken left arm out in front of him and shouted [Shock Strike], a lightning swift strike magic, similar to [Firebolt] but instead it is purely a lightning attack, like short-ranged version of Pikachu's [Thunderbolt].

Having faced the brunt of Tristan's magic attack at point blank range, Golg released his grip from Tristan's wrist as went to his knees and little sparks of electricity appeared all around his body, indicating that he was momentarily stunned.

Having seen the state that their leader was in, one of Golg's subordinates looked around to see the faces of his fellow goons as he shouted "What're you guys standing around for? The boss is in trouble!"

Seemingly invigorated from the latter's words, all of them immediately began charging towards Tristan without any semblance of fear.

"You're dead meat!" One of the goons said.

In response to this, Tristan just smiled as he held out his right hand, pointing it towards them.

Seeing this all of the goons halted in their charge as the same individual from earlier shouted "Be Careful!" then immediately following up with "As long as you don't get in a certain range, his magic is basically useless."

Motioning his hands indicating a command, one of them equipped a bow and began firing.

Deflecting the arrow with his weapon, Tristan then charged towards the group as he exclaimed "If you won't come to me, then I'll come to you."

"Don't get too cocky!" One of the goons said, then equipped a large axe and swung it towards the ground on where he predicted Tristan might be.

Tristan stopped just in time, just a centimeter away from the edge of the blade of the axe, then said "You have a good battle sense, I don't know why someone like you is working for that bastard, you would do well if you continued to become a proper adventurer but instead you are going around robbing and exploiting people, such a waste."

The Ebisu Familia has a reputation of guiding newbie adventurers and showing them the ropes around the dungeon, so seeing a talented person being wasted, Tristan couldn't help but go on his lecturing persona.

Then immediately after uttering those words, he sent a kick towards the main goon's diaphragm as all the air from his lungs was immediately expelled. 

Instead of working together, one by one, all the goons began charging towards Tristan like a cliché in an action movie. As he took one out, another guy who was just standing around earlier proceeded to attack Tristan before suffering the same fate as the others.

After seeing the damage he caused, Tristan overlooked everyone in the alley and drank a healing potion as his gaze fixed on people that were trying to get up, indicating that he was warning them of the danger if they do.
