Chapter 8 - Humans

Marcus was dumbfounded, just like this he gained a follower.

"what is your name"

"Yinyang"

Marcus found this name quite fitting for the black and white colored creature.

"I guess you can but mark my words if you betray me or harm any of my clan members i'll gut you alive"

Marcus hadn't had his clan for very long but had already become very territorial of his members.

" Yes, Yinhang understands he believes that he will get very strong by following great one."

Yinyang replied.

"Alright Gizmo time to head back. Follow me if you really want to follow me."

"Yes great one"

"Yes my lord"

The trio started to head back to the cave.

Once they got back Marcus noticed that most of the goblin groups had returned. All of them except group 7.

Marcus went inside to find Gimp organizing the catches from the groups.

Marcus asked Gimp "How long have the groups been back"

"All of them have been back about an hour except for group 7 the still haven't returned"

This put Marcus on edge.

"Alright, how did the groups do so far?"

"Group 2 is leading right now and 4 is in second."

"Hmm, good." was all that Marcus said. He was too worried about why group 7 was taking so long to come back.

"HELP!!"

Marcus ran out to the entrance of the cave to see a goblin missing a hand with other wounds covering his body. The goblin collapsed at Marcus's feet.

"Run my lord their coming."

.......................

A few hours earlier.

"I've heard there's plenty of goblins in this forest we can use to kill and complete our bounty" the person that said this was a blonde headed young man with blues eye. Most girls would consider him handsome. He was in his early twenties.

"That's what you always say ben, but we somehow came up short the last two bounties we got from the guild." a hulking brute named Dave said.

"Oh don't be rude to Ben, Dave how was he supposed to know another group just cleaned up the monster in that forest," said a petite black haired girl. Most men would say that she was a 10.

"Thanks, Cindy," Ben said with a gigantic smile on his face.

The group had been searching in this forest for 3 hours already an hadn't seen Any sort of animal or monster yet. Dave was already starting to get worried because they need ten goblin heads to complete the bounty given to them by the adventurers guild.

Ben was the leader of their group. The main reason being that he was at the highest level. Ben was level 28, Dave was 23 and Cindy was level 19.

Ben was a steam warrior. They were warriors that used steampunk technology. Ben had a long sword that had a tube running from the hill to a canister on his back full of magically enhanced steam that would heat up the blade to a glowing red color. At the bottom of the canister was a magic orb that powered the canister. This kind of warriors was new to this world.

The steampunk revolution happened ten years ago. This swept the country by a storm. Most cities are now very reliant on the technologies brought about by the revolution.

Dave was a normal two-handed warrior. His main weapon was a nodachi. His armor resembled a samurai, but it was made out of leather to make it lighter with a decrease to defense.

Cindy was a Mage. She wore a robe that boosted her MP. She specialized in water and lighting magic but she also knew some light healing spells. It was considered very rare for mages to be able to use three different magic elements. This put Cindy on the radars of most of the high ranking personal guilds.

A personal guild was a guild that was formed by adventures working for the adventures guild. Right now Bens guild was ranked B.

The guild rankings started at F and went to SSS.

The small group of adventures continues into the forest looking for goblins. They finally came across some goblins. A group of seven.

Ben heated up his blade while Cindy fell behind him and a Dave took the front. The goblins at first were startled but then they saw there was only three of them. They wanted to see what their reward would be when they killed three humans.

Dave was surprised because the goblins were carrying a vine with many different kills tied to it.

"See Dave I told you, you make the first strike and I'll follow suit. Cindy after Dave and I make our first strike we'll fall back and you strike with your magic."

Once Dave heard this he jump forward a sliced down With his nodachi slice one goblin in half be continued by dodge backward to the right. Then Ben struck with his steam blade slicing and goblins handoff also burning the wound of the goblin. The goblin fell on the ground screaming this is the only thing that saved them.

Cindy may have been the lowest level of them but with her combos of magic, she was the most destructive. She used her water magic to soak the goblins standing she than stuck them with lightning magic electrocuting them alive until they were burnt husk.

Then one-handed goblin jumped to his feet and ran back to the cave. Cindy took the time to cast a low-level tracking spell on the goblin.

The then cutter the head of the goblins off and storing them into Dave's storage ring. They then began to pursue the goblin.

.......................

"Quickly can't him into the cave" Marcus ordered the nearest goblins which they quickly followed his orders.

Marcus immediately prepared himself for whatever was coming. A few minutes later Marcus was shocked. There right in front of him was three human.

The human formed up into a formation. The one that looked like a samurai was in the front and the one that looked like a steampunk cosplayer in the middle with a gorgeous black haired girl in the back. The Samurai jumped forward slicing down toward Marcus Marcus dodge back with ease almost like the samurai was in slow motion. Than the steampunk jump over the samurai slicing down with a red-hot sword. Again Marcus dodged an again. The mage casted water and lighting at him. Once again Marcus dodged again.

"Man this weird looking goblin sure can dodge, has he evolved," Ben said to his companions.

Cindy replied "I don't know but I've never seen one like it. If it is then it is an undocumented breed, a never before seen goblin."

"That means that the guild will give us a reward for finding a new species of goblin right?" Dave asked.

"Yes," Cindy replied.

Marcus realized that if only one Goblin came back then that means these human must of killed the rest.

"Did you kill my subordinates?" Marcus asked with a growl.

"Haha, it can even speak. Yes, we did does this make you mad you dumb goblin."

Dav wanted to kill Ben at this moment because he could see the pure hatred in the goblins eyes.

"Yes, very much soo."

Right as Marcus said this he jumped at Ben with inhuman speed using his new claws cut the tube to Bens award instantly losing its red color. He the stab him in the stomach. Holding him off his feet. Blood began to spew onto Marcus's face and body.

"Those that harm my clan members will die"

Marcus than use his other hand to slice across Bens' neck cutting halfway through it. Causing a fountain of blood to spew out of Ben's body.

Dave tried to strike Marcus while he was distracted but Marcus threw Ben at him. He then rushed at Cindy using one hand to knock her out. By now Dave had recovered only to see Marcus above the fallen body of Cindy.

Dave thought Marcus had already killed Cindy too so he rushed at him in rage. Marcus pared his strike with his claws a struck back at Dave. save dodged it barely but it still gave him a slight cut on his shoulder Marcus rushed back at him before he could recover a struck again slicing of one of his hands.

Dave fell onto the ground withering in pain. Marcus then when up to dave a knocked him out. Know Marcus had two human prisoners.

He picked both of them up and cared them to a spare room in the back of the cave. He threw them down and turned two the wall and used his fire magic to melt fire magic into the walls. Marcus used up all of his MP by doing this. He then stripped all the armor and weapons from them and stored them in his room.

Marcus than returned to the entrance of the cave an stripped the loot off the dead human's body and order a goblin to take it to his room.

"Gimp, order the goblins to start to cut down the large tree around and have them bring them back to the front of the cave."

Marcus had decided it was about time for him to make his calm village.
