Chapter 4 - Killing monsters

After killing the goblins,i looked to see if there were any more goblins around the area.Thankfully no goblins seem to be in the area,which gave me time to collect my thoughts,my main priority should be to search for shelter for the night.After all it won't last sunny all day long so i need a place to rest I am still human after all.

But before that I analysed the corpses of the three goblins to see if they had any loot worth taking.The goblin archer has a wooden bow and a bag containing 9 arrows;The two goblin warriors had ragged clothing equipped onto them but their swords looked different one was the colour brown the other was the colour grey.I figured the brown substance is copper and the grey substance is iron,yet so I appraised both swords.

Copper sword(brown sword)

Attack:4

Zinc sword(grey sword)

Attack:2

...A zinc sword how did they get a zinc sword?.Wasn't it usually iron swords in magical worlds,well this is really surprising just to make sure that there aren't anymore tricks I'm gonna have to appraise the other objects.

Wooden bow

Attack:0.5

Iron arrows 3x

Attack:8

Zinc arrows 3x

Attack:4

Wooden arrow 1x

Attack:1

With that I start to grab the wooden bow and the bag of arrows along with the copper sword.I then walked through the forest in search for a home.Thoughts of a suitable home to take refuge in is needed.What are the requirements for a suitable home?,it needs to be close to a water and food source.Insulation is needed to prevent the cold winds from giving me hypothermia.

The question is where can I find such a location.It then hit me as the goblin I attacked needed to came from somewhere.All I need to do is to track their footsteps to go back from where they came from.

Heavy stomps can be heard across the forest as I dash towards the trail of footsteps.When I arrived I instead found a group of goblins awaiting me.Without a second to waste I instantly using my ability ghost.Sadly it was far to late.

Having the ears of a bat one goblin already heard

the sound of my initial dash shot am arrow towards me.The arrow pierces my right shoulder.

Pain rushed through my body as I held back as scream of pain.Dashing towards a nearby tree I decide to take cover and devise a plan.

Slowly but surely I removed the arrow while gritting my teeth.My mind starts to panic thoughts of death start to occur.I inhale and exhale to calm myself down now is not the tine to panic.Peeking out of my hiding spot I analysed the goblins.

Using all my remaining gold I put it all into attack hoping to finish of the goblin archer first.I slowly moved out of my hiding position to get a better view of my enemy.Only the goblin archer seemed alerted by my presence as he seemed to be talking with the other goblins' thankfully I wasn't spotted because of my ability [GHOST].With a deep breath I spawned a Dog spear in my hand and gripped it's balance point.My arm then leaned back and then I throw the spear spear with all my might at the enemy.

The spear flew towards the enemy but penetrated through flesh and bones of another goblins head as the goblin archer used his fellow goblin as a goblin sheild.Not letting up I threw several other spears at the enemy which managed to hit a total of 4 goblins while the rest blocked.The archer goblin responded to the onslaught of attacks by shooting another arrow which I parried with my dog spear.All the remaining undamaged goblin warriors charge towards me.My Depleted mana left me with no other option but to use my newly acquired bow.

Adrenaline pumped threw my blood as I fire an zinc arrow at the group of goblin swordsman.Luck is on my side as the arrow pierced through the goblins shoulder slowing it down.Not letting up the rest of the goblins got speed up the pace almost reaching their destination.I fire another arrow which pierces through a goblin warriors throat halting its movement.

In just the nick of time I drop my bow and block the incoming attack with my copper sword.Another goblin swordsman thrusts his sword towards my chest as I stumbled backwards from the force of the clash between the other goblin swordsmen.Before the spear reached its target i summoned my final dog spear and thrust it towards him piercing his chest.

Not standing idly the other two goblins hold their respective swords high slash performed a vertical slash on me.I responded with a ferocious slash using my copper blade.With my boosted attack I cleaved through their swords like butter and finish them of by slicing their heads of their bodies.All of a sudden an arrow came out of nowhere and heading straight to my head.My dominant hand who was already in the motion could not block the arrow so,my other arm blocked the arrow on reflex.

I cried out in pain as I struggle to keep a good footing.With a mad dash I run towards the nearest tree and hide behind it.My breaths become more rapid as I start to feel the fear of dying.How will I ever get out of this situation I wonder.
