It was getting late and the last night in this dimension was about to begin, as one of the missing Goblins came running out of the woods. She was a female, but her male wasn't seen anywhere near her. She was covered in blood and dirt, which made it hard to guess where she is from or which family she belongs to. She seemed to scream something running towards the group.
Behind her, a brown being jumped out of the woods throwing something at her. The thing it threw, hit the female on the leg and she dropped to the ground and as she turned around to look at what had hit her, she screamed in terror. It was the head of her male, which had a horrified expression on his face. She didn't move looking only at the head, as she was squished into a meat bag of broken bones sticking out her skin. The hugh brown being jumped from 10 meters away directly on top of her, without sprinting. That showed its power, especially in its legs.
The brown being grabbed a leg of the female, while still standing on her. It ripped it of and started to chew on it, making horrible grinding and breaking sounds. The group of Goblins looked in horror at that being. It was big, strong and powerful. It was some species of ape, but much more terrifying. It had brown fur, hugh canines sticking out his mouth and two big horns on its head. The horns were black and shiny, almost like obsidian. That ape was 3 meters big standing on all four, while his arms were longer and packed with muscles. His entire body was full of muscles, but the arms stood out the most. Behind the big ape, around a 100 smaller apes varying from 1 to 2 meters big were running towards the alpha ape, ripping the dead female under the huge alpha ape into shreds. They looked the same as the alpha ape just without the horns.
Rosch was the first to move, as he slapped the asses of Galia and Thulpina to wake them up.
"What are spacing out for? Run, go, move we need to get away from here.", Rosch shouted waking the two females up. They grabbed one bag of food, as he slapped their hands saying to run. Food would only make them a target. They started to run back towards the cave, because the area around the cave they knew the best.
The others were shocked, too and as soon as they saw Rosch's group running they did the same.
The huge ape chewed on the leg. It waited for a bit, watching the weird looking small beings running around aimlessly. For some reason it didn't move from the place he killed the female, but the Goblins didn't noticed such a weird behavior, they just wanted to flee from so many opponents.
The apes moved right after the first Goblins run back into the forest. The apes scattered into groups of around 20 and followed the Goblins.
Rosch and his females were the first to get out, which gave them a headstart the others didn't have.
"Rosch we don't stand a chance, we will get tired and slow down before even reaching the cave. ", Thulpina said scared to death. She just started her training, before she was just a female that had good looks selected for breeding. Her stamina was the worst part when they trained.
"Thulpina don't cry just run, run and don't stop. Galia push her, look after her. Even if you guys won't see me, I will be behind you guys, you understand. ", Rosch said disappearing into the darkness.
Galia was shocked and was scared, too, but she knew that she couldn't do anything against so many of those apes. So she grabbed Thulpinas hand and run without looking back.
Rosch disappeared into the darkness, falling back. His presence disappeared and he became one with the darkness. The first apes jumped past him, one even on the same tree without realizing who was with them. As the last ape is about to swing past Rosch, his bone blade extended into the ear of the ape and out the other ear again. The ape couldn't even scream, it didn't even realize it died.
"Good, 22 more to go. Today I will show you why my Nightwalker race is so feared at night.", Rosch thought, while putting the body silently down on the ground. Right after he dropped the body, he sprinted after them. His silhouette wasn't seen, even at such a terrifying speed he was running at, he could stay invisible.
Rosch followed and saw his next prey. The ape was like the last one completely unaware of Rosch following them. Rosch jumped from his branch into the back of the ape, piercing his heart with the right hand and the head with his left hand. Rosch retracted his bone blades and let the body drop to the ground, while disappearing into the tree crown. As the body hit the ground, three apes instantly looked back. They heard something and went back. They looked at the ape that lay on the ground. The biggest ape stood in the middle, looking up because for him it looked as if the ape crashed down after getting killed. To his misfortune, he saw a foot with a blade coming down its head, piercing it right between the eyes. Rosch grabbed the mouths of the apes that turned their heads into the middle where the biggest one stood. Without hesitation two bone blades were released from Roschar's arms, killing the two apes instantly.
And again Rosch followed the group, as he thought, " 18 left, I need to get faster or they will reach Galia and Thulpina."
At another place, not far from the cave with the waterfall, was Gerhard's group fighting for their lifes. They didn't have any casualties, but were really beaten. Two of the females were already unable to fight and the rest had wounds on their entire bodies, while they killed only 7 apes. With 7 beings, that isn't really that good, but the one problem they have is that the big ape with the horns is giving some help to his smaller minions. Probably, because they had the biggest group the big one decided to follow them.
"Fuck this will be my end or what?", just as Gerhard started to have such thoughts, the big ape looked away with a terrifying expression on its face. It smelled blood and not that of his prey, no it smelled blood of its own minions. And not even small amount, at least 10 or more from one of his groups died. The huge horned ape shouted something to the apes here, as it disappeared. The apes facing Gerhard backed up only throwing stones and holding them here.
"What is going on? Why did he left? But it doesn't matter. That's our only chance to break through.", Gerhard thought, looking around to find the best way to flee.
