After joining their group they continued their journey to the north only that they were not encircling the buildings with goblins inside possibly and every time we passed by them my instincts became alert and I was not the only one because the behavior of everyone in the group became more subtle as well.
There were attempts to attack us on the part of the goblins in buildings like throwing arrows or things that are of the building like; chairs, books, tables, glasses, etcetera.
But they never managed to harm anyone within the group since we always managed to dodge them or they were defended by Yuto as the redhead, who apparently is not her physical strength.
In the distance, I heard a crying from a woman and the closer we got to her address the crying grew until it was loud enough for everyone else to hear.
* Scream of a woman * Only a scream in heartbreaking desperation
When we got near the place I saw a group of people killed by fatal injuries and there were signs that they were not all because there were traces of blood that were inside the building, but the scream did not come from the building but from a woman who was side of a vehicle.
Apparently, she is in very bad conditions because she has several cuts on her body, I use to observe in she to see how much life she has left.

[======================
'... hurts' I could only look away from her since it does not concern me, I'm going to save as much as I can the potions just for me or important people for me.
When we got closer, she began to scream for our help, but we did not approach because it could be a trap, the guy in glasses was looking at the place for a while and then go talking in a low voice with Yuto.
"There are no enemies in the area but the woman will die within 5 seconds possibly, the same is in you whether we help her or not" After he spoke he withdrew and kept looking at the woman, Yuto looked at the others.
'Maybe he is making a decision, but if he decides to enter danger I withdraw from their group' I hoped that decision would take, only that at that moment I could hear the sound of more people coming and they are not few.
Turn in the direction and talk.
"Hey lens! You can see who's coming in that direction." Point to the west at three buildings where we're from.
The face of the lens was wrinkled perhaps by the nickname but still looked in the direction for a few seconds and looked surprised.
"Yuto, it's them again! The ones at the bar!" Everyone in the group showed dissatisfied faces with what they heard while in the background the women shouted in our help to hear the scream of Hiro.
"HELP ME!! SAVE MY DAUGHTER FROM THE CLAWS OF THOSE THINGS!" But it was the last thing that she cried out as her health bar broke into pieces like her light in her eyes that no longer showed signs of life.

As the mission appeared, I only read the objective and rejected it.
"It's not my problem" I mumbled to myself, why I will not fulfill a mother's last wish.
But I still did not take my eyes off the approaching group that had caused displeasure for Yuto's group.
I do not know what they have decided on the mission but everyone prepared to fight, Hiro began to take some guns from his backpack and gave one to Lucy, only Akane was the one who didn't have
a weapon and retreated behind everyone.
Little by little several men came out of the street from which I heard them coming, apparently, they are a gang, they all have in common the symbol of a crown with a lion in some part of their clothes or body.
"Look ... look ... what fate prepared us!" A man came out of the large group that had arrived, maybe he is the boss since they made his way when he left.
He is a robust man, tall and bald, is wearing black leather clothes along with some chains, while wearing black lenses and using a pipe as a weapon. 'I don't think it's the only weapon he bring' I thought to see how many weapons Yuto's group brings.
"Oh, you found some puppies eh!" The man turned to see us and Hikari, he held his gaze in each second judging us but lost his interest quickly.
"You're wrong ... they're not from my group, we're just going to the same place, and you'd better leave at once if you do not want to get involved!" Yuto refuted the man and then warned us, Hikari hesitated a moment as to whether she was okay in abandoning them in a moment of need, so I grabbed her wrist and ran away from that place.
I can kill goblins, but I do not think I'm ready to face another human.
While we retired, I could hear the sound that they were still talking but it seemed they were just getting warmer for the action.
When we turned the street my instinct began to warn me to bend over!
* Pass! * An idiot was in front of me with a metal bat and had tried to blow my head, behind him there is another man who looked directly at Hikari apart from those who are sitting on boxes watching what happened as a show.
I had to get away from the attacker, I could not counterattack him for wasting time looking at my surroundings, but he kept wagging his bat while trying to hit me, but I keep dodging since I'm faster than him.
"TCH! ... lets yourself hit! AAAAGH! "He let out a powerful scream that sounded almost like a bark.
'I can't move!' My body doesn't respond, I'm paralyzed in the place.
The bastard showed a bastard smile while he is preparing himself to blow me.
====================== [Third person] =====================
The bully opened its legs and performed a horizontal swing hitting the arm of Ren who managed to react in time to defend himself with his right arm which is now numb.
-15HP
Apparently, he had used one of his animal skills that is related to a dog, with which he managed to paralyze Ren for a second but enough to hurt him.
Ren tried to use his ability [Sharp Flash] but the ability was not activated by not carrying any sharp weapons.
The bully was surprised that Ren was still standing when someone normal would scream of the pain for the blow that he just received but that moment when he got distracted he received a lunge from the stick that Ren brings in the neck, but he managed to react and eluded him but still he ended up with a scratch on his neck which makes him angry.
Ren lunged forward and tried to hit but was blocked with his bat which caused the stick to crack, but Ren already kicked at the knee of the bully and forced him to kneel on the floor to then receive a knee in the face and back to back while releasing the metal bat.
Ren picked up the bat and he rolled to the side because another bully had thrown at him using a skill and had tried to hit him with a metal tube which hit the one on the floor in the chest.
-80! The life of the poor low to only be an eighth of health while releasing a cry of pain.
* Scream * "Shut up crap!" The one who had almost killed him complained about his scream while kicking him in the face to silence him.
-2HP
Ren looked at the situation and took advantage of that moment when he was distracted to throw the bat.
The man could not react in time and received the blow which had the effect of paralyzing him, Ren took the moment to jump and hold the man's face and take him to the ground.
-77HP (-17HP) + [Paralyzed 20s] + [Scared]
Ren pinned him to the ground and a lot of blood came out of the man's face because Ren had broken his face with force, the blow was so strong that it caused double status in the man.
Ren gave him a kick that threw him into the air until he hit the last man who was free, when the body of his mate fell above of him and he looked closely at how his face was disfigured and something else that was directed towards him scared of Ren.
Ren did not realize it but he began to win a thirst for blood that is released every time he concentrates on someone and replaces them in his mind by goblins to be able to face them he release this thirst blood on them.
He got that thirst blood by killing goblins even though it is too small to be noticed by normal people, it is not for someone who has animal instincts and feels that his life is in danger.
Ren threw himself on the man who was trying to escape using his animal ability, caught up with him in an instant of a jump and repeated the previous action only this time he subjects to the man at the back of the neck and carried him hard to the ground.
"BAM!" -50! + [Paralyzed 20s] [Scared]

=== [Ren's point of view] ====
I don't recognize myself in these moments, how I can hurt them without affecting me to the extent of disfiguring their faces, but I will not fall as low as killing them.
I look around to see if there were more men to fight with ...
I can see Hikari's shoe at the entrance of one of the buildings, I could not see that they took her away because I was focused on fighting.
I started to get angry for the bastards who squeezed the bat so hard that I left my marks on the metal.
I tried to listen with all my strength to any sound, at the beginning I did not hear anything but at one moment to another, the world around me changed, I could see without opening my eyes only with the sound, but I did not have the mentality to appreciate it, I managed to see a silhouette of three men forcing a silhouette known to me.
'Inventory' I pulled the bat and stretched my hand towards the menu which was introduced into it as if it were a portal but I could only feel the handle of a sword which I wanted at that moment.
"[Legs of Steel]" I activate the skill and jump to the window of the floor where they were and kicked the window but once I was in, I did not stop to look to find them because I did not need it, I could see without my eyes.
