Needle was exhilarated.
Never in his entire life could he had thought that his fencing skills could be used for actual combat. The rapier was not some sort of non lethal weapon which he had used for competitions and training. Even though he had ensured that his competition weapon had the weight and replica of an actual rapier, there was never a chance he could use his strength on a human being.
It was different when he rampaged against a training dummy but there were many a times his rapier would break from the techniques he unleashed on it. This time however was different from the rest. The rapier were withstanding his strength as he released all the knowledge he had accumulated onto the faceless goblins.
They might not have the same physique as a human but seeing how they had hands and legs, he handicapped them with multiple slashes before stabbing into their hearts.
When the guards in the room saw that this man was able to hold the line against the faceless goblins like a hero suddenly coming onboard to save them, they immediately focus their attention to the rest of the faceless goblins, slowing them down. Killing that particular faceless goblin in cold blood with an actual rapier in his hand had taunted the rest of the faceless goblins to his side and he prepared to face them as it is.
Yet, the chaos off the stage was still insane as many were in panic mode, not knowing what to do when they witness countless helpless humans being slaughtered by those faceless goblins. Still, there were some that were daring to take video of the commotion happening on the stage as they believed their lives would be forfeit if the guards and that 'hero' would to be defeated.
On the other hand, if he had managed to kill them all, this would be a proud trophy and a chance at being famous in the world wide web for showing. After all, real actual monsters were popping out of nowhere will be a viral hit in the internet who were always hungry for such conspiracy news after the sudden appearance of the Odd Half Island that emerged out of nowhere.
Needle continued to face them one by one despite the odds against him but with the aid of the guards handicapping several faceless goblins, he was able to fend off most.
"On your right!" One of the guards shouted after he realised that his pistol was empty when he attempted to fire a supporting shot to aid Needle. It was too close for comfort even for the main protagonist on stage especially when there was not much room to evade but those faceless goblins as dumb as their blank face, had forgotten that the rapier was not only the weapon that Needle had in his hands.
A direct shot to the face from the pistol Needle held off hand had enabled him to gain sufficient time for him to kick the charging faceless goblin down the stage where the guards quickly surrounded it and pelted its body with bullets to ensure that it was not alive.
"The monsters are thinning out." Needle opened his communications and before he could say another word, Muramasa already started to give his instructions on where to escape. If a person who did not have an intimate knowledge of the Royale Theatre as well as the operation plan prior to this assassination mission, they would have believed what Gen said was gibberish.
"Phase 3 is still in process. Proceed to Door C-3 and go to checkpoint B. The underground stairs is there. Provide support when you are available." Muramasa ordered and Needle could not believe there as the 'newbie' in the team, he had to do so much.
"Understood. Clearing all goblins prior to supporting."
