The Goblin mindlessly charged forwards. Lacking a mind, lacking a will, lacking anything that it could call "its own" besides its flesh and its blade, it burst towards the girl it had marked as its enemy. A voice that had existed since it was born screamed in the back of his mind.

[i]"Kill."[/i]

As it moved towards Senna, sword brandished at the ready, the girl would likely note a frightening observation.

Even with the blessing of a God at her back, empowering her past the human limit, this Goblin, this introductory being, was faster than her. It was merely a sliver of difference, but that sliver was enough to pose a worrying question.

If this was the case for the Goblin, how would the later monsters compare?

Regardless, its speed carried no weight here. For, what is the purpose of speed, if one cannot make it from point A to point B? Speed is only useful to reach a destination, and thus, if one's speed is insufficient...

-The arrow embedded itself in the Goblin. 

No, not even that. With the force at which it was launched, a power made only stronger by the blessing of Cernunnos, it punched a hole through the charging Goblin. Its forced used up in breaking through the Goblin, it clattered against the stone floor behind the monster, miraculously somehow not shattered from the force it struck the beast at. 

The Goblin itself staggered, red blood dripping from its wound as its charge came to a halt, the force rocketing through its body. 

[i]"Kill."
[/i]

And without a mind, without a will, without a desire to live, it charged forwards once more, its sword brandished to strike Senna the moment it could, even as it visibly slowed with each step.
