Finally, Noel finished replenishing her battle energy and jumped off the Nightmare Beast.

Because Fang Ka intended to witness Noel's heroic combat prowess, he had Noel carry the Eye of Darkness's device so he could promptly observe her in action.

Simultaneously, at Xia Lin's request, Noel also carried the Dark Speech, as Xia Lin was worried that in the heat of battle, Noel might be overly absorbed, not cooperate in retreating if at a disadvantage, along with Tina and the others.

Although Xia Lin felt this was unlikely, it doesn't hurt to be cautious, after all, she only has this one younger sister.

Meanwhile, as the saying goes, "bystanders see more clearly than those involved."

They could use the Eye of Darkness to monitor the dynamics of the battle at any time and, if Noel made any misjudgments, could remind her in time through the Dark Speech.

Watching Noel swim alone towards them, the three goblins couldn't help but pause, taken aback.

Then a high-tier Goblin Knight spoke to Sonam: "Master Sonam, is an opponent swimming towards us alone?"

Sonam slightly frowned: "I'm not blind, I can see."

"The opponent obviously doesn't trust us, so they held something back, likely intending to have that extremely fast creature assist this high-tier merfolk knight once the battle begins... Hmm..."

"Let's act friendly and enthusiastic, they must be extremely curious about the island, and I'll make it sound enticing enough, I can't believe they won't enter."

"Once they're on the island, they'll be completely at our mercy."

After hearing Sonam's words, the other two high-tier Goblin Knights quickly started to flatter: "Master Sonam, you are indeed exceedingly wise."

Sonam smiled smugly, then looked toward the approaching Noel.

Initially, he planned to cast a defense magic on himself but, after thinking for a while, gave it up because that would seem unfriendly, as he intended to lure the opponents onto the island.

Moreover, with two high-tier knights guarding him beside, there was no need to be overly worried.

At this moment, seeing the high-tier goblin mage Sonam not cast any defense magic on himself, Noel couldn't help but feel a spark of excitement in her eyes.

She naturally didn't know what ploy Sonam was scheming, but she knew that this way, when she made her move after getting closer, it would be even easier!

Finally, Noel approached Sonam and the others, a smile appearing on her face.

Sonam thought Noel was showing goodwill and friendliness towards him, and couldn't help but smile back, then slowly spoke in fluent Ancient Western Language: "Oh, dear traveler, please allow me..."

Before he could finish his sentence and his smile didn't vanish, Noel acted.

She surged forward, enveloped by vigorous battle energy, reaching Sonam in the blink of an eye like an arrow leaving the string.

The two high-tier goblin knights didn't even have time to react before Noel punched Sonam's waterproof clothing hood on his head.

In an instant, the hood shattered, and Sonam's eyes rolled back as he immediately lost consciousness, his life or death unknown.

Fang Ka's eyebrows slightly twitched: "How did Noel do that just now? How could she be so fast?"

Previously, he never saw Noel take action, and to his surprise, she had such skills.

Hearing Fang Ka's question, Xia Lin, next to Fang Ka, immediately answered: "She figured out those combat techniques on her own."

"Whenever she's bored, she likes to ponder over these things."

After hearing Xia Lin's answer, Fang Ka was astonished and asked: "She figured out many combat techniques?"

Combat techniques involve the application and variation of battle energy.

Unlike magic, developing magic is extremely dangerous, whereas developing combat techniques is not as perilous.

However, this doesn't mean combat techniques are easy to develop.

The development of combat techniques is equally challenging, and without a deep understanding of battle energy and a high degree of combat talent and comprehension, it's like a fool's dream to develop useful combat techniques.

Fang Ka couldn't help but ponder whether, after players strengthened to a high-tier level, becoming high-tier undead creatures awaken the Demon Cave, and possess death energy, could Noel be their professional mentor?

Death energy and battle energy are two extremes, one being incredibly resilient and vigorous, and the other extremely sinister and malevolent, but many combat techniques can be applicable to both.

Moreover, given Noel's talent, evolving combat techniques to be suitable for death energy shouldn't be too difficult.

While Fang Ka was still planning for the future, Noel was already engaging in a fight with the two goblin knights.

"You damned merfolk, so unethical! We genuinely welcomed you, and yet you attacked us sneakily!" one of the high-tier goblin knights shouted angrily at Noel in Ancient Western Language while also assaulting her with battle energy.

At the moment, he felt a mix of fright and anger, startled by the speed Noel burst out with just now, and furious that Sonam was sneak attacked right in front of them, his life or death unknown.

Bear in mind, both of them had been subjected to Sonam's alchemy poison, requiring monthly doses of antidote at the beginning of each month to maintain their lives.

This is why they showed such reverence towards Sonam.

But now, Sonam lay unconscious, and if he had indeed met his demise, it would mean the two knights were doomed to die.

Since the antidote is always freshly concocted by Sonam, there would be no surplus.

With half the month already past... this implied they likely only had half a month of life remaining, how could that not enrage them?

Hearing the high-tier goblin knight's furious scolding, Noel easily dodged the opponent's long-range battle energy attack, then rapidly closed in on her target: "I actually came to beat you all up in the first place, how is that unethical? My goal never changed?"

Listening to the soft, cute words from Noel, the two high-tier goblin knights were almost enraged to the point of spitting blood.

They didn't know Parod was imitating them while showing Fang Ka, naturally assuming that the reply was inherently directed at them, expressing goodwill...

At this point, Noel already closed in on the goblin knight who was cursing angrily, her tender pink fist wrapped with fierce battle energy, violently striking towards his cheek.

The goblin knight raised one hand to block, while the other hand formed into a knife, slashing down hard at Noel's neck.

Only, as he raised his hand, Noel's speed suddenly increased tenfold, her fist instantly passing by his yet-to-be-blocked arm, slamming into his face.

And just as the tender pink fist was about to touch his cheek, the battle energy on it exploded ferociously.

In that instant, it blasted a hole in the battle energy defense covering his face, sending the high-tier goblin knight flying back like an arrow leaving the string.
