BANG!
BANG!
The sound of fists colliding resounded in the forest, the level 8 was very strong. Amil was level 6 but his tough skin with hand-to-hand combat proficiency made him do well. The hobgoblin was really enjoying it, it had stopped using that fire skill to fight with its raw strength like Amil.
Amil kept connecting the punches cleanly, the hobgoblin grunted and increased the pace of the punches. Amil's head was starting to be hit occasionally spurting blood with every hit from the mouth.
Amil changed his fighting style to nails, He scratched the hobgoblin's knuckle, the scratch was not deep but enough to make it bleed. Amil throughout the fight got punched really hard various times but made the goblin lose a lot of blood. The goblin realized late due to pride and dumbness but finally did something productive.
"GURRRAAAHHH!!!"
It roared really loud, Amil was sure the roar itself would be able to kill someone below level 3 instantly. He could see changes in its body.
The hobgoblin's height increased to 7 feet with a series of bone-cracking sounds. The skin shone and when the light disappeared,
It sparkled in the sunlight; the skin had a coating of some green, emerald crystal. Amil frowned, seeing something like this for the first time.
He attacked again but this time the sound of hitting a rock or metal resounded.
CLANK!
The hobgoblin snickered and grabbed Amil by the neck lifting him up. Amil tried to retort but the bastard's strength had clearly increased by double. The hobgoblin Punched Amil's face very hard, and 2 of his teeth came out with a series of spit mixed with blood. It didn't stop hitting Amil on the gut and shoulder in a trance.
Amil couldn't help but feel the pain, that was too overbearing. His shoulder was already dislocated with the left wrist twisted to a different angle. His gut had become black instead of brown with all the punching.
"FUCKK!! Y-You think you can kill me bitch…you don't know me!.... Grrrr!" Amil's eyes became bloodshot, his pupils dilated, and his aura became intensely ferocious with blood lust at another level. The hobgoblin couldn't understand what was happening but felt danger from Amil for the first time. He punched him in the face again and tried to swing him far, but Amil was not getting off with his arms crisscrossed on the hobgoblin's arm and same with the legs. The hobgoblin released his neck as he started wiggling his arm in annoyance but alas Amil's rationality was lost a while back, he positioned himself on the hobgoblin's shoulder locking its neck with his legs. And with great strength, started punching the head not minding the broken wrist. Sounds of bang resounded everywhere, the hobgoblin tried again and again to make Amil stop, it kept hitting its punches on Amil's legs. Till now, Amil hadn't done anything other than annoy the hobgoblin, but after a while, he pierced both its eyes with his nails.
"GARRRRR!!" The hobgoblin whimpered, with Amil's nails still inside its eye sockets.
It grabbed Amil by the neck and threw him flying straight. Its size started to decrease with the luminous skin gone. It could not see anything which made it panic a lot. Shouting again and again saying God knows what. The sound of shouting made Amil see the hobgoblin with a heavy head, he realized that just now, he lost all senses mindlessly attacking it without mercy. The interesting thing was that he could remember everything he had done in that berserk type of mode.
With a broken knee, wrist, and shoulder with a cracking sound coming from the neck, he went dangerously close to the hobgoblin feeling pity for its circumstances.
"I'm sorry but you were the one who made me do it…" He said and sliced its neck giving the final blow.
[EXP +77, +1 strength, +1 Mana, +1 dexterity]
[ Skill 'Fiery fist' detected, acquire it?]
Amil accepted it fast not feeling happy. He went to the unconscious level 7 hobgoblin killing it with one strike.
He left the site of the mutilation with heavy steps, taking around 10 minutes to reach the deer's territory. The deer looked at Amil with wide eyes running towards him wanting to give his support.
Amil accepted his help going near the lake. The deer with delicacy placed Amil on the ground and used his healing and purification skills at the same time. Amil's wounds closed slowly while the larger ones just kept bleeding.
"….I lost control of myself for the first time, I don't know how it was triggered but it's dangerous for me," Amil said with twitching eyes, they at last closed, and he became unconscious.
The deer looked at Amil in silence. After a while, he went to the lake and kept his glowing horns in it for a while, after a while, the deer was sweating furiously, showing the symptom of mana depletion. He hurriedly went to Amil and threw him in the overly dense shining lake.
Amil fell into it not getting up, the shining aura of the water started moving wildly going inside Amil. He was greedily sucking all the healing energy from the lake, around 5 minutes later, the lake was back to normal.
The deer didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had used his whole mana reserve to make the lake have a healing ability better than before, but Amil just sucked all the energy in minutes.
Amil felt that he was floating, as if water was all around him, he was feeling very satisfied but after the lake became normal, Amil had to breathe air normally as everyone else did. He opened his eyes in discomfort finding himself in water. Wiggling arms and legs around, he stood up and took a deep breath.
After looking at himself and seeing that there was no wound on his body, broken bones healed, wounds healed and even fatigue was gone.
"You bastard~ Just how good is your healing technique!" Amil exclaimed happily and pounced at the deer for a hug.
The deer first became pale thinking that Amil went nuts again but after the hug, he was very satisfied seeing Amil's good mental condition.
"Oh... I have to try something..." Amil said and activated his fiery fists. His whole hand became engulfed with fire which did not harm him at all. The fire was taking only 1 mana stat every 3 seconds making him jump in happiness. It was not as blazing as the hobgoblins due to the level gap.
He told the deer all the stuff he did with proudness, the deer exclaimed in shock every time Amil told him how intense his fight was.
They happily ate the centipede's flesh and chatted; the deer had opened up a lot with him. He told many things to Amil like how he had sacrificed a lot getting to where he was now. He had about a few more years to live when his life expectancy will be over. Amil told him many times to leave the place and journey with him and yearn more for its next evolution, but the deer was too proud to leave.
This just left Amil with only one choice, he decided to keep the deer safe until it changes his mind.
The night passed with no complications. They both slept like a log, leaving themselves unguarded for the first time in a while.
Morning came fast, making the duo's eyes twitch from the light.
"YAWN~ Finally some good sleep"
'I.Feel.Good'
They ate again peacefully, Amil was taking it easy because he had killed one of the strongest cavalries of the goblin tribe, he only wanted to scout for a while seeing the situation before acting again.
Leaving as planned, he went to the tribe stealthily, the situation was looking normal as if nothing had happened. All the business was going as before, people talking to each other as if nothing had happened. Even the left cavalries were moving normally.
'Maybe they did not find the bodies yet.'
