Ray quickly began thinking of a way to fight them, if he charged straight in, he could grab on to the arrows and use them as a weapon. They were simple stone arrows, so they probably wouldn't do much damage.
Ray was too nervous and scared to think of anything else, or rather, he couldn't.
Ray rushed straight at them, the monsters both shot an arrow each aimed right at him. Ray managed to avoid them by stepping to the side, while grabbing on to one of them at the same time.
Now both hands had a weapon to utilise, Weak or not, It was probably better than his hands.
Seeing that the arrows weren't hitting Ray, the two monsters which were at the front with only had one dagger each, began to run up to ray.
But ray didn't pull back
As ray got closer, he noticed something next to each of them
Each monster had an Tab next to them which displayed how much of them had been analysed. The two monsters which were at the back shooting with the bow and arrows had a higher amount analysed compared to the ones who were at the front.
When they reached ray, they both swung their daggers simultaneously, with no hesitation. Ray managed to barely avoid it by stepping back in the last moment
<-1 HP>
Said the system message
Ray then felt a little stinging pain near his belly, only to notice that the dagger had managed to slightly cut through his shirt. But there was no blood.
He knew, even without anyone telling him, he knew that if he stabbed once, it'd be game over, and he wasn't counting on a 'respawn'
Ray was afraid, he was afraid of dying, of leaving his sister behind, but the ability to get stronger, overlapped his fear.
"Being afraid will do nothing..."
Ray then remembered something his dad would tell him, whenever he would get scared. 'Fear is a good thing, it makes you sensitive to danger, if you can control it, it becomes the strongest weapon'
He took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. He slowly began to calm down. Getting worked up in this situation, wouldn't help.
The monsters began to make weird sounds which sounded like laughs, as they watched, and charged at him again
They swung again, but ray dodged it by stepping to the side, at the same time, he extended his arm and in a thrust motion, pierced the monster straight in the head with the monster
Ray was still scared, but at least now he could move like he wanted.
The monster dropped the dagger and raised its hand, and began to move it around it's face as if it were looking, for a way to pull the arrow out
Ray also noticed, that after he had hit it, the analysis suddenly jumped up by 20%. Was this something that would happen whenever he would get a hit in? He was curious.
But he, didn't wait to find out. He grabbed on to the dagger it had dropped, and quickly pierced it. On its neck

A tab showing the monsters stat's and name appeared. However, ray didn't even bother to look at it. He was too focused on killing it
<150 exp has been gained>
While ignoring the messages, Ray tried to pull out the dagger and back up, but when he did, he noticed the other goblin which was on the left, with it's swing already in motion
In that moment of life or death, without thinking, Ray instinctively moved his body on it's own. He pulled over the goblin he had killed. The swing of the goblin which was on the left, ended up hitting right into the dead goblin's skull.
As the goblin on the left, tried to pull the dagger out. Ray pulled out the dagger from the dead goblin. At the same time, something came charging in, and suddenly pierced the other goblin's head.
It was tina, she suddenly charged straight at it, when she saw ray in danger. She pierced it with an arrow which she had most likely picked up on the way.
But that wasn't enough to finish it, While the goblin was confused after suddenly being hit, Ray also charged at it, and pierced it in the head
<150 exp has been received>
A tab opened showing the stats and level of the goblin which had been slain, but Ray didn't even look at it. His attention moved straight to the goblins which were at the back
They began charging up their shot after the two goblins at the front died. At the same time, Ray heard tina mutter something
"Assisted in slaying goblin...? Experience...?
Ray then began to worry, if what happened to him was about to happen to her, then the timing couldn't have been worse.
"K... AAH..."
Tina then collapsed to the ground, and tried holding in her scream, Ray could tell that she was in immense pain.
When ray looked over at the goblins, their shots were already charged up.
'Shit… I can avoid it but, Tina can't move right now...'
Without giving Ray another second to think, they fired off the arrow
After that, ray received a message
At the same time, a tab was opened next to them showing their stats, but more importantly, Ray could see the trajectories, of the arrows.
