Chapter 5: advantages
"One down, two left," I said, in a tone that looks like I'm intimidating them.
Step-...
The two took one step backward.
This is a sign that they finally recognized me as a threat and a being much stronger than they anticipated.
That carelessness of theirs previously resulted in the death of their comrade for attacking an unidentified being with an unknown level. I can't blame them, it wasn't their fault for having a brain different from humans. After all, Just like in the game, They were born with one purpose in this world, and that is only to die at the hands of humans.
Anyway, I had to end this now before they have the chance to run away.
[Technique Deployment]
As I said these words, their legs began to shiver in fear as if they had finally realized what I did to the other one. However, while I expected them to stay in that state, their legs began to run toward me instead.
'Had they finally gone crazy? Or they realized that they don't have any option left.'
Well, things are getting easier.
Swish... Swish...
The two went to each side to suppress me. However, it's futile.
[Dazzling Moonlight Scenery Dance]
I disappeared from my standpoint. At that moment, I appeared on the other side and started dancing around them at breath neck speed which caused to left traces of an afterimage, along with my sword that started to cut their limbs and some other parts of their body resulting in instant death.
Cut-... Cut-... Cut-...
Splurt-... Splurt-...
Just like that, their body and some portion of it fell to the ground lifeless. The blood started to flow on the ground constantly.
I returned my sword to the scabbard immediately after killing them.
Right after returning the sword, my body started to quiver And pain began to develop inside my hands causing me to lose my balance, and my entire body promptly plummeted to the ground.
Huff-...
Huff-...
Huff-...
I began to breathe deeply. I tried to resist the pain, but, the more I tried to resist, the more it hurts.
1 minute had passed... there are still no signs of stopping and it's driving me crazy.
'I had to end this forcefully'
To end this feeling of discomfort, I tried to calm myself down. I intentionally lose control of my muscles to prevent the intense pain to continue. Sometimes the best option is to let it loose. After a few minutes of waiting in the agony I was going through, my body started to gradually cool down. The pain is slowly fading away, and soon, my suffering finally came to an end.
"So this is what it feels in reality huh" I muttered.
I've never felt something intense as this before.
It was my first time feeling this pain and I really hate it.
I want to save this moment in my memory for future reference, however, given the current circumstance I'm in, I conclude to clear my mind until I fully recovered.
After 10 minutes...
Ten minutes had passed since then. although not to the fullest extent,
I can somehow able to use my strength now.
I sat next to the tree after that. If I recalled the experienced I had just now, the reason is probably because of the techniques. My body is genuinely not strong enough to use them which resulted in my muscles to sting.
Honestly, I learned those techniques from the game. It was genuinely the most valuable advantage I have in this world. After all, it would take many years to come up with a new technique that suits my fighting style. And given the fact that I have a considerable amount of skills in my game in my previous life, the advantages I have couldn't be written in words. In that regard, I'm completely lucky to have it.
And the more I think about it, the more I'm getting delighted just by thinking about the future. But right now there are things I need to do.
I settled my thoughts here before I went to the corpses.
"I have to wrap this up before the spy boxes came back."
I hurriedly took their body and decided to bury them beneath the ground. While doing so, an idea came to mind. I thought it would be better if I'd keep their meat to consume later since their meats actually do taste pretty good, however, I'd don't want any of them to think some weird things about me later that would cause a headache if they somehow found out I killed them all alone. Hence, I'd concluded to bury them all along with the blood leaving no evidence behind.
I went back to the tent and just when I came in, another explosion arises from the same direction where the two went to.
I particularly had no intention to go there, but...
"Those two are still alive?" I mumbled.
I really don't want to go there but my curiosity is taking over my mind, thus, I decided to go there to take a look.
But before that, I'd changed my clothes. after a few seconds, I immediately went to their location.
I started to run slowly to conceal my presence just in case a monster is hiding nearby.
Since there are no monsters to encounter on my way, It didn't take me long to arrive on the scene. I immediately hide next to a tree.
From there I could see everything happening in front of me. The place was a mess. Some Monster corpses and craters, as well as marks, are imprinted on the ground. But, even after this, two people were constantly fighting with a red skin monster.
Fire is burning some trees so it wasn't difficult to see them.
Based on their reaction and current situation, they were in a tough spot that might lead to death.
"At this rate, the two will surely die"
Their opponent isn't just a normal monster.
Based on it's red skin, the staff he had on his hand, and body characteristics, this monster is a sling shooter red-goblin.
[Sling shooter red-goblin Description]
A red goblin that fires a fireball using the staff. This monster likes fire to destroy nature.
I finally know who creates those explosions.
While the three are fighting, I stared at the dead monsters around. Two dead spear goblins are lying on the ground.
I instantly understood why there was an explosion earlier. It seemed like a fight broke out here between two races.
Unlike the red goblin, these two spear goblins are normal. They have green skin that indicates their race.
[Spear goblin description]
A goblin warrior that specializes in fighting enemies in close combat using a spear. Loves nature. Hates red goblins and believed they are enemies.
Red goblins and normal goblins are hostile to each other. The reason for that is simple. Normal goblins like nature whereas red goblins love destroying nature by burning it with fire. Because of these two opposing traits they had, a war between the two races always broke out in any place as soon as they saw each other.
"I think they are just racist though... Nope never minds" I immediately took my words back.
Well, that's all that, however, I found it amusing how the two killed the spear goblins. Goblins are estimated to be above level 15, nonetheless, these two had no chance of winning against them and that's the reason why I found it amusing.
There were wounds on their bodies that indicate how they were killed. If they were killed by the red goblin, their bodies would've been burned to crisp. But wounds inflicted by a sharp weapon? This is obviously made by the two.
Therefore, I assumed the two as the ones behind this. If I speculate about it more, the strategy used by the two was
Assassination. I could not find any answer other than that.
It was a good strategy, but whoever came up with the target is a complete idiot. No, the entire strategy itself is bullshit. Who would attack monsters above level 15 without the system?
It was lucky enough that those two managed to kill two monsters using the assassin method. But, this is reality, albeit killing the two, it would never change the circumstance.
I shifted my gaze back to the ongoing battle. Appertaining to their stamina, an estimated Only roughly 50 seconds are left before it reaches the climax.
I measured the time and their stamina before I came here and when it started and made a possible outcome.
I continued to watch them from behind the tree while at the same time, observing the area. To avoid, In case other monsters are coming.
The two are having a hard time hitting the red goblin.
Klang... Klang... Klang...
20 seconds had passed and none of the two landed a single hit on the red goblin.
It should be around this time. I began to count the remaining time.
15...
10...
9...
8...
"Ha-...!" Lucas screamed as he used the remaining power he had. Rages can be seen inside his eyes.
7...
Cut-... Klang... Klang...
Lucas somehow lands a blow. However, it wasn't deep enough to call it a wound. The red goblin promptly came back to his sense as he wielded his staff to obstruct the attacks.
6...
Swoosh-... Klang...
5...
4...
"Hah-!..."
Screamed-...
3...
Pressed-... Kick-...
Harley attempted to assist his brother using the remaining strength he possessed but ended up getting shoved away by the kick he received from the red goblin.
2-...
using all his strength in a single attack, Lucas struck his sword down.
Swung-... Klang...
That was the last attack he had, but it ultimately failed to kill the slingshoot red goblin.
The next moment, energy started to integrate on top of the staff. Lucas knew what will happen next. His eyes slowly closed as though he had given up.
1-...
Boom-...
The fireball caused a massive explosion upon hitting the target directly. It was Lucas.
The impact was severe that I had to hide behind a tree to avoid the rough wind.
"I hope that was a good lesson for him in the future" I muttered.
Although he has zero chance to survive, I knew he wouldn't die from that.
