Chapter 10 - A blood bath and Diablo awakens

We got out of this cave luckily I had killed all of the goblins in this area but my work was just getting started and with out saying a word I started walking back to the city the girl following behind me silently it took me longer then normal sense I was dragging this make shift cart behind me by the time I hit the half way mark my clothes was covered in mud and I was breathing hard but I simply grit my teeth and kept on putting one foot in front of the other I just got through a creek I stood on the other side I took a few seconds to catch my breath but after that I took one step but that is when I heard it a gralling noise I looked up and in the tree above me was a bob cat it's tail was swishing below it it's yellow eyes shined in the moon light and they was locked on me I side angrily and slowly reached for bucking bull I pulled the hammer back on it and waited I didn't want to fight this cat but I would but to my surprise, it jumped down from the tree and walked closer to us when it did the beast girl seen it when she sides she screamed happily and she ran up to it and hugged it and she started to sob the bobcat rubbed against her purring I smiled at that site but that is when I heard shuffling behind them my hand shot up pointing bucking bull in that direction you might as well come out I know your there I said calmly I heard a woman huff and say o so you noticed me how fun you ant to shabby wildling and stepping from behind a tree was another beast person but unlike the girl I saved this beast person was completely jacked there body was tain there wild black and white hair want down to there back and they had a huge beastly smile on her face she had curves any man would fall for and thick thighs that could make any man die as a warrior but my hand didn't drop and I stared into her red cat eyes and in a calm voice I asked who are you and y are you here the woman smile got even bigger o and you don't trust easy good I can see how you survived this long but as for who I am it's simple I am the head knight and guard to the beastly trading company my name is Zigrin white claw as for y I am her it's simple I am looking for her and she glanced at the girl still hugging the bobcat I smiled o how fun you must be quite the tracker to find us I lowered bucking bull and holstered it Zigrin chuckled I guess you could say that yes but enough of talking let's get moving and she walked behind me and picked up the back of this stretcher I had made with ease she then looked to the girl and said please miss ride on Jack we need cover more ground the little girl nodded saying yes big sis Zig and like it had done it many times before the bobcat laid on the ground and the girl got on it the bobcat stood up with ease I could tell that neither Zigrin or this bobcat called Jack was normal but hell who was I to judge but I shook these thoughts out of my head and glanced back to Zigrin asking ready she nodded and we started to move again this time though was much faster then before do to Zigrins help we walked through the dark woods in silence mostly the girl was still sniffuling and crying but that's to be understandable we was getting closer and closer to the edge of the woods it was to the point I could see the lights from the city through the tree line in front of me but that is when I heard it the sound of something being pulled tight and wood stretching Jack started to grall looking forward I side and stopped miss Zigrin can you take it from here Zigrin didn't say anything but after a few moments she asked y should I your much weaker then I am I could kill then with ease y should I let you do this there is 10 of them if you fight them you will be walking to your death probably I chuckled and lowered the stretcher to the ground when I stood up I was holding the hilt of my short sword tightly and a huge smile spread across my face and I glanced to Zigrin behind me don't count me death yet I still got much fight in me besides these fools ant after you they are here for me I will not have my own enemies target these girls they have suffered enough besides your job is to protect her so do your job and I will do mine she seen my crazy smile and she shook her head chuckling your a mad man I like it fine go and have your fun I will get these girls back to the city I nodded thank you and I looked back forward before I stepped forward I quickly looked at my status

I closed my system and looked back in front of me enough thinking time to kill I pulled my gloves tight on my hands and I took a step into a small clearing when nothing happened I didn't care so I walked to the middle of this clearing with no worries in the world when I got to the center of this man made clearing I heard someone yell stop right there and stepping out from behind a tree was a big man he looked human there was two hand axes on his hips when my eyes fell on those axes a bubble appeared next to both

Holy flame Axe: green rank- a basic axe that has been imbued with holy fire, against weak undead all damage dealt will be boosted

When I read what they was I wanted them but I didn't let that show on my face the color green was the next stage above common so uncommon these was only uncommon weapons but I could us at least one of them I didn't care about the axe it's self no what cot my eyes was the magic runes if I had time to study those runes I will be a happy man focus Hunter and I looked over this man again he ware cheap lleather armor he smiled at me O it's are lucky day your the player DeerSkull ant you I shrugged and if I am what of it the man smiled and stepped closer to the clearing when he did I saw his name tag appear over his head Jarult223 but something was off his name tag was blood red he stopped and said you are surrounded so hand over all of your loot and you don't get to die when I heard that my smile got even bigger so he is a pker well he ant very smart is he or maybe other people actually believe him and died cuz of it y would someone fight if it's 10 to 1 plus most people would shit them self hearing there outnumbered but not me y should I care about a bunch of nooby fighters even if I am outnumbered and they are professional gamers but the wild hunt isn't any game that the world has seen before it's so real and it's the first full dive game so sure these people might have brains for gaming but that's it they don't know how to fight for real but people like me who has experience in combat in the real world I was a fucking soldier one of the best my hands have been stand red with blood my unit was outnumbered like this 10 to 1 quite a few times and what did we do we laughed and pushed forward I started to laugh crazily Jarult smile disappeared and glared at me what you laughing at you fucker my laugh turned into a chuckle I shook my head thinking I will have to see how the bots are doing it has been a while but for right know my eyes feel on Jarult I am laughing at you what else compared to the hell I have seen you 10 are nothing but a walk in the park and my smile disappeared and I glared at this man who was stunned into silence come my exp bags let's have some fun and that crazy smile was back Jarult stepped back yelling kill this fucker yes sir I heard 9 other people say and in the trees above me was three archers and I heard the twang of the bow string I moved backward the arrows just missing me and hitting the ground where I was standing but then I heard 4 people chanting something and walking from behind the trees was 4 people in robes 2 of them held staffs wall the others pointed wonds at me fire bolts they all yelled and from each person shot out three bolts of fire luckily I was already moving or holy shit I dodged 6 bolts already but the next 6 I couldn't dodge them all so I pulled out my sword and started channaling mana I to it I swung and cut these balls of fire out of the air but I dodged the last one as it flew passed me I used it to light one of my grenades I threw it at the magas but I didn't see what happens next cuz I got stabbed in the back - 10 hp I turned around ducking down as I did luckily I did cuz a spear few over my head and standing in front if I was two close up fights one spear user and one hammer and shield user I smiled at them both as the spear passed over my head the hammer user swung his hammer down at me seeing I couldn't move much as I was ducking under the spear the hammer feel but my sword swung up and blocked it but I didn't stop there in my other hand I pulled out my begaining dagger I started channeling my mana into it and over the edge of the blade was wind making it even sharper I thrust my dagger up stabbing this man in the leg it was funny his upper body had full chain armor on but he didn't put no armor on his legs but what ever this isn't my problem I wasn't done either I slid between the two dragging my dagger throw his leg I pulled it out and appearing in front of me was the damage

Popliteal artery and tibial nerve severed critical it - 30 hp and every second - 10 hp of bleed damage

I laughed seeing that arteries and nerves was actually critacle hits damn I love this game it's so realistic I thought as I spun around facing this hammer user who just screamed in pain I ran and slid under him doing the same thing to the other leg

Popliteal artery and tibial nerve severed critical it - 30 hp and every second - 10 hp of bleed damage

I jumped to my feet and dashed at the spear user I didn't give them time to recover that is when I heard it boom I did all that in only 5 seconds the death notifications made me chuckle

Damn there is a mages missing but I didn't have time to worry about that sense arrows started raining down on my but I was moving not ones did I stop I charged at this spear user and thrust my sword at her she spun to the side and tried step back to make distances between us but I didn't let her I lunged forward and thrust my dagger at her she blocked it with her spear moving it to the side then she thrust at my chest shit I said jumping back but that's what she wanted cuz when I landed on the ground three arrows rain down on my I cut one out of the air but the other two hit my shoulder -10 hp -10 hp I gralled in pain but I didn't brake focus the arrows hit the ground not sinking into my shoulders do to my chainmail at this point you could see the glint of the chainmail under my clothes from the holes the spear user used this time and sprung at me I stood there smiling I put away my dagger and glanced above us I seen one of the archers they was actually in the tree right behind the spear user o how lucky I thought I looked back to the spear user who was swinging down at me but at the last second I moved to the side the spear hitting the ground next to me I lunged stabbed this woman in the chest under her left arm but I wasn't down I spun around still holding my sword I pulled out bucking bull and pointed it at the archer and boom the back of the archers head exploded I pushed the lever and the barrel dropped down and the spent shell was ejected out of the barrel which was nice I then jerked my arm so I spung back in front of the spear user I started into her eyes which didn't have anger but the fire of competition I chuckled you wasn't half bad I looked up to her gamer tag Hadesbidnet I nodded and looked down at this woman remembering her face which wont be hard she had dark red hair and black skin but it was her eyes they shined purple if I had to make an assumption a fallen aazimar or a odd dark elf but that was only a guess and she didn't have pointy ears I will remember you if you ever get tired of this sort of lot well you know my gamer tag come and find me but it is goodbye for now and I twisted my sword that was still in her she smiled nodding I pulled out my sword her body hit the ground and disappeared

I turned and stared at the 5 others the two archers the one mages that had a leg blown off plus the mace user who was bleeding out on the ground and of course Jaralt who had a white face and with out braking eye contact I walked next to the mace user and stabbed my sword down into his throat killing him instantly I pulled my sword out and stabbed it into the ground and with quick skilled hands I reloaded bucking bull by the time they realised what I did it was to late

I nodded and looked around at all the loot on the ground it would seem when you die there a circuit change something will drop probably randomly selected so killing other players really wansn't worth it I walked around and picked up everything

Wind bow - green rank, this allows you to shoot three arrows with the wind attribute booting it's speed range and penetration requirements 15 str and 20 int

No wonder I didn't get shot by a wind arrow they didn't have the stats to us it they probably bot it cuz they were close but what ever it's mine now

Wood wond - white rank , allows host to channel magic through it requirements 15 int and 15 wis

Wood staff- white rank, allows host to channel magic through its requirements 17 int 17 wis and 10 dex

Useless for me but money none the less

Hades didn't drop nothing but Jaralt did I walked over and picked up one of those axes a huge smile spread across my face I looked the axe over nodded and turned around and started at the last thing a bag of coins I picked it up and opened it 200 coins holy shit I said that hammer man must have been holding coins for others either that or he is rich irl both could be true I smiled pocking this gold let's get out of here and I started walking out of the woods Diablo still on my hands.
