I thought of an idea at that moment as long as the enemies are preoccupied with someone they cannot advance through this narrow alley so that means if I distract them eventually the other combatants should be able to pick them off it looks like it is time to fight some monsters.
"I will distract some so pick them off slowly while conserving your energy"
walking past the shield wall I made my way towards the group of around 5 ogres I had been working on my fighting style right now I have three: redirection, sacrificial and mindless in that order.
I reached for a few of my sharp knives then threw them at the heads of 5 goblins Killing all five readying my staff I start running towards the ogres catching them off guard they were giant pasty white creatures with near endless rolls of fat with a stench more foul than I had ever smelled but they were strong with hyper regeneration which is quite similar to a important part of my ability.
i jumped when I got close enough reaching about a metre off of the ground if the world was still normal this would be a very rare sight but now it is on the lower end.
i hit the one closest to me on my right on its chin and then pulled my staff back hitting the one closest to my left in the stomach then I kicked off the last ogre who was in front of me and I landed back around two metres away readying my stance while staring down the now irritated ogres.
they then charged at me which is perfect the one on my left swung his club at me so I slightly tapped it and it flew towards the centre ogre hitting its head making it collapse on the ground the one on my right tried to then catch me but I dodged it and got one of my throwing knives and threw it at it's head and saw it go in its skull leaving the ogre on my left to deal with but it had already been killed by one of my squad mates.
then the horde came goblins and orcs rushing into the ally so preparing my self I got my knives ready and started throwing them and when a goblin got close I used my staff to bang their head in this continued and though constant got boring? I didn't care about my squad or most of the people at the camp I only really cared about Luke and a handful of people most of whom could survive even single handedly against all of the goblin army.
{zombie mode activated objective kill monsters}
everything went black and I woke up standing on a mountain of bodies just outside of the alley blood and guts all over me and my squad with their weapons lowered all just staring at me what the fuck happened?
°°°°(squad members Holly POV):
our leader after standing in the middle of the formation and directing us like a puppet master shocked me when he walk out in front of us.
"I will distract some so pick them off slowly while conserving energy"
his ability was apparently something like hyper regeneration and his stats were also said to be somewhat low so I had just assumed that he was similar to Taylor volt a strategist but in the next few minutes I was proven wrong.
first he took down two ogres by using them against each other and I took the opportunity to kill a ogre by shooting my energy ray at its head.
then when the horde of goblins came and I expected him to get back behind us he instead he started throwing knives at the goblins with suprising accuracy and bashing in their heads with his staff when they got close.
the real surprise came after he ran out of knives it appeared as though his eyes were empty but as soon as the goblins got close he was like a machine that was made with the purpose to kill he hit them once or twice and they died he deflected their attacks to other goblins.
the centre ogre that we thought died from being hit by another ogre that was on his left got up and tried to attack but was killed instantly by his staff he used the goblins weapons to kill the other goblins.
I saw him lose multiple limbs over and over but they kept growing back multiple times he was impaled through his torso and chest and just kept fighting he was like a monster but also like a saint a sacrificial saint or a masochist.
°°°°(back to kai)
{ding! title has be upgraded sub title gained "the sacrificial masochistic saint" sub title ability gained:
pain blades B
blades of light and or blood conjured using the voluntary destruction of users body or pain of user the more destruction or pain the more powerful the blades.}
'seriously what the fuck happened? why am I covered in blood and why do I have a new ability?'
"are you okay commander?"
"no I am not"
the next moment I passed out
°°°°(the battle with the goblin King lukes pov)
the king was a giant the height of a two story house and the width of three cars from back to front he had green skin and held a giant one sided axe his eyes were completely red his grin ever so prominent.
"Luke wake up we need you right now!"
ryanna kept yelling at me to help but even when I tried I was useless my halberd barely scratched it and I had no way to attack it using a ability.
meanwhile ryanna used her threads to defend us and occasionally cause damage to the goblin King and Jase was a apparently powering up his special move and I was completely useless.
suddenly I felt like I was being hit by a train I felt the sickening feeling of being on a fast roller coaster and when I blinked was about 100 Metres from my original position it seems that the king hit me.
then the image of kai came into my head he had basically died so many times and was still weaker than me but was I the weak one?
I can't even get up right now but I know that he would already be standing no matter how many of his bones were broken I felt sad, angry, helpless and... hopeful?
I am filled with hope that as long as someone that I care about lives I will be happy I need to fight though so I got up enduring the pain of my broken body.
'god kai how the fuck do you do this so often are you a fucking masochist!?'
{ding you have been a main factor in giving a sub title and have gained a bonus:
reinforced blood use your blood to permanently strengthen your weapons once a day the more blood the
more powerful your weapons become}
'well this is a perfect opportunity to test this'
hugging my halberd I think about strengthening it and all of my blood on my clothes and body go into my halberd and I watched it transform the pummel got more pronounced and it's edges and points got visibly sharper the metal was tinted a dark red and it was lighter than a kilogram
i got ready to attack the goblin King but then I saw it Jases special move it was a large ray of golden white light coming down from the sky it was beautiful but scary the goblin King was not even ash Jase then ran around and killed hundreds of goblins it was then I truly realised how powerful Jase truly was.
