The small green creatures are goblins. They had figure of children but with bloating stomach. Their intelligent is lower compared to human because goblin is categorized as monster species. They are called as humanoid monster.
Each goblin in a group hold rusty weapons. One goblin had spear with the tip made from sharp stone while the handle is a thin wood. Another goblin hold crappy short sword while beside him had rusty knife.
In a short, the five goblins in a group had low level weapon. This information give me confidence to defend the hurt woman from being attacked by goblins.
The woman hold sword in shaking hands. Her mind had been swallowed by fear to these evil giggles.
10 seconds.
The goblins are surrounding the woman. Her big sharp sword failed to scare these monsters.
15 seconds.
I arrived at the location and immediately punch one of the goblins in his head. The punch power from my quick momentum and fire magic can't be absorbed by goblin and his head exploded after that.
These stupid goblins didn't ever realized my presence here before they were bathed by green blood of their fallen brother.
20 seconds.
The goblins quickly shift their focus from the woman to me. Before this, they had only thought to toy with their victim but now they are completely serious to attack me with killing intention.
23 seconds.
The goblin with spear thrusts the pointed tip to my abdomen. Too slow! I grab the handle of spear with my both hands and break it. The goblin has no time to react before I push the spear back into his neck.
27 seconds.
2 goblins had down in battle. Unfortunately the other goblins did not back down or escape but continuously showed their anger aura.
30 seconds.
I dash toward to goblin with rusty knife. Even he try stab me with that knife, I'm sure the knife will break first before can scratch my breast plate. Luckily I wore the armor before left the inn.
The goblin aware that I came toward him and he push the knife to my direction. Again, too slow! My left hand capture his right hand that hold the knife. He become frowned. My free right hand punch strongly his head. Once again the head of goblin was exploded from my fire magic.
35 seconds.
The other goblins become enraged with my third kills. They run to my position and try to attack from my back. One short sword and one knife? I don't ever scare to that.
Before they reach my back, I swiftly turn my body 180 degrees. Now I take my chance to do dual kills at the same time.
I know their body is very fragile with magic. Both of my fists is flying towards two goblins. My right fist make a hole into first goblin's hole while my left fist detonate the second goblin's head.
Both of them died simultaneously.
Now all goblins that tried to hurt the woman is gone.
I satisfied with my current power. At least I can deal easily with low level monster.
I erase my fire and walk slowly to that woman. She is being hassles to get up and can only sit while straightened her left leg.
"Hello, are you fine? Do you hurt somewhere?"
"Thank you for your huge help mister. I am fine. My leg is hurt but don't worry, I have healing potion."
In term of recovery, the advanced medicine in technologies and sciences is completely inferior to magic potion. When taking a drug, one need to rest so the effect of medicine can slowly work. But magic potion like healing potion is instantly cure the wound and patient can immediately continue their daily life.
The woman opened her mini bag and took out a small tube. She twisted the cap on tube and gulped the blue liquid in one breath. Then the dim magical blue light was enveloping the woman for few seconds. She got up and determined that her leg was already recovered.
"Once again, I offer my sincere gratitude toward you because without you, I might get killed alone here."
She slightly bowed by lowering her head. Her short red hair was contradicted to her blue eyes. I guess her armour got stained during her rushing to escape from goblins.
"Don't concerned about that. I will always help people in needs if I have enough strength. These goblins were not match to me. So, what's happened when you run from forest?"
"Actually, before this I was already fighting with 10 or 15 goblins in forest. They ambush me when I was practiced in my usual spot. At first, I can fight with them and deal some serious damage. But after their number get increased, my stamina was depleted largely. When I judged that I can't keep fighting, I tried to escape but some of them chased me until I fell down here."
"That must be tough to you. You no need to worry. The goblins should not dare to attack us anymore. It is already late. Let's go back to city, I will accompany you safely."
The woman slightly blushed red in her face. She picked up her great sword and slide in her sheath. I estimated her height should be around 1.70 metres so it give her advantage to wield big weapon like great sword.
I pity her for fighting with a large number of goblins with heavy sword. That's why her stamina was greatly reduced near to zero. But who am I to advice her about that. She must already know the side effect to wield big weapon.
Then we together walk to the east gate. I look behind and see no monster around the forest. So we should be safe until we reach the city.
"Oh, by the way, my name is Dylan. I am adventurer and still new in Selarin City. It was late to said this but nice to meet you."
"Eh, er, er.. Nice to meet you too. I'm sorry I forgot about introduction. My name is Cara. I am a knight apprentice for two years. If you new around here, I can help you to show the area inside city."
"So you're knight, Cara. If you can show me around, I will humbly accept it. So when are you free?"
"I'm still have training tomorrow but I'm free the next day. I can bring you to interesting place. So where are you staying?"
"I stay at Black Bear Inn in south area. So we can meet again on Barday."
"I stay at dormitory of knight academy. How about we first meet at middle junction as our rendezvous point in the morning? Are you okay to wake up early morning?"
"Yes, I good with morning."
We parted our ways after went though the east gate. She was eager to bring me to good places inside the city. She looked happy even before this she nearly die at forest.
I think she was really suitable to be a knight. I wonder why this cute woman want to become the knight. Maybe this hard world only require strong people to keep survive in harsh situation.
After she left and went to knight academy, I direct my way to guild. I completed my quest and need to report it immediately before I got penalized.
I enter the guild and queue in quest counter. After 10 minutes, I show the quest paper and display my collected leaves.
The male receptionist asked me to put the leaves in flat tray. He counted the leaves on tray and determine the quality for each leaf.
"Congrats, your quest is completed. Your final reward is 40 Gal because you bring more leaves and most of it in excellent condition. Please give me your card."
For each complete quest, the guild will update certain point inside the adventurer card. This point is determined by your rank quest. After you collect enough points, you can increase your rank to next level.
I kind of forget of how much point I need to step into E rank adventurer. But what I know I will not stop doing quest until I can be at least B rank adventurer. Being master adventurer can guarantee my great position inside this kingdom. I need all kind of help if I really want to return to my former world.
After receiving the money and my card, I went out the guild. At outside, the sky was already become darker. I need to hurry back to inn so I can eat dinner.
I was busy today so I unintentionally skipped my lunch meal. I hope dinner meal for tonight can satiate my hungry stomach.
