Chapter 7: The Goblin Rider

"Hey, if you guys have the spare time to be frolicking around. So why not fucking help the rest of us out." Sameer shouted at the top of his lungs.

Whilst, at the same time, he was fighting bravely with a ferocious grey wolf, as his stamina bar then drops down to more than a third of the overall bar.

"Roger that." David Griffin responded back to Sameer Chowderick.

He then immediately charges right back into the fight, aiding his friends and group in fighting back against the pact of Grey Wolves.

"Let's go and help the others out." Aaron said so with a very determined look.

He then gave some precise simple instructions for Anik to follow. "I will go out into the front and assist the others, whilst you stay in the back lines and return fire at the grey wolves with your crossbow."

"I've got that." Anik responded, nodding his head.

'It seems simple enough for me to do.' He thought so to himself, still slightly hesitant over taking another's life.

"Then what about me?" Joel asked, whilst still standing from the sidelines.

"Well..." Aaron Lee said so somewhat hesitant.

Before said so to Joel's face, "Why don't you go inside and hide, taking shelter in the classroom. Whilst, we are out here handling this difficult mess."

"Oh..." Joel responded, feeling slightly dissappointed, but nevertheless, he understands what Aaron Lee meant.

By staying here, unguarded, he will only become a bag of burden for them. It will drag them down, if they have to constantly worry about his safety, all the time, whilst they fight.

So Joel anxiously immediately began to run towards the nearest classroom, slamming the door shut, and locking the door, by blocking the door pathways with a wall of tables.

As the sounds of a fierce battle going on in the background, loudly emanating from right behind him.

So

"Gerard! I'm switching out from being the main attacker." Sameer exclaimed, whilst holding his two axes, his back facing his trusted friend Gérard.

"My stamina bar is almost out, and I need some time to rest. Can you tank a few hits so that I could recover my breathe." Sameer said so towards Gerard.

"I've got it." Gérard immediately gave a short response to Sameer.

Sameer then hurriedly withdraws from the front lines, getting behind Gerard's figure. As Gerard quickly moves into the spot, charging forwards with his wooden shield, and intercepting the grey wolf's attack.

The grey wolf's jaw was opened, readied in a biting motion, as it was about to lunge towards Sameer's figure and bite him, but it was blocked by Gerard's wooden shield.

The grey wolf was immediately stopped right within its tracks, as it's momentum was suddenly halted for sec, crashing hardly into Gerard Wight's wooden square shield.

Gerard Wight then pushes the halted grey wolf aside, and retreated a few steps backwards in place, in order to guard the unprotected Sameer Chowderick whilst he recovers his stamina.

And with the innate {Charging} ability that he got from the moment that Gerard Wight became an awakener, he slams his square shield into the momentarily dazed Grey Wolf.

David Griffin then charges straight right into the fight, assisting Gerard Wight in slaying the Grey Wolf.

As he raises his stone claymore into the air, with the power of his {Lion's Strength} ability he got from the moment he became an awakener, strengthening his slashing power.

David Griffin directly cleaved the dazed Grey Wolf into two, immediately killing it.

Ding!

[ You have killed a Tier 1 Grey Wolf! 247 experience points has been acquired! 3 kill points gained! ]

[ The individual named David Griffin has levelled up and become level 12! ]

Whilst, David Griffin was distracted, having cleaved the dead Grey Wolf into two. His stone claymore sword was lodged into the floor, and it would take some time to pull it out.

It left him becoming a target, a sitting goose, with a wide opening for a nearby Grey Wolf to attack, which then baited a Grey Wolf to come and attack him.

"Malachi!" David Griffin shouted, as he then immediately switches the stone claymore into a more defensive position.

He raises the stone claymore that is still lodged into the floor, with the handle putting upwards at the ceiling. The bare front of the stone claymore blade has become a makeshift shield.

"Got it." Malachi Hendrickson then immediately heard the message.

As the Grey Wolf attempted to strike David Griffin whilst he was quite defenceless, Malachi Hendrickson then intervenes and strikes the Grey Wolf at its side, with his wooden staff.

The Grey Wolf that was trying to harm David Griffin was immediately pushed to the side, completely missing it's target entirely.

However, it was able to pass the front line, getting passed Malachi Hendrickson & David Griffin, not before being struck head first with a crossbow arrow by Anik Mackallick, with his shot.

Then another Grey Wolf approaches Malachi Hendrickson's figure in succession, attempting to bite him with its large canine mouth.

But with his {Enhanced Reaction Time} ability, Malachi Hendrickson was able to react fast enough than the Grey Wolf, as he then blows the Grey Wolf's biting attempt by lodging the wooden staff in between in its mouth.

As another Grey Wolf then approaches Malachi Hendrickson from right behind the attacking Grey Wolf, Malachi Hendrickson twisted his body and turned to side, with one of the ends of the wooden staff he lodges it deeply into the opened mouth of the

second Grey Wolf.

It was at this time, that Aaron Lee enters and joins the fight, as he directly stabs one of his stone daggers into the head of one of the Grey Wolfs, that are currently attacking Malachi Hendrickson at this minute.

The Grey Wolf immediately dies by Aaron Lee's stabbing attack, as its brain was pierced by his stone dagger blade.

Ding!

With the other stone dagger held within his hand, he then quickly slid the throat underneath the neck of the Grey Wolf that has the end of Malachi Hendrickson's staff lodged deeply within its own throat.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

The first Grey Wolf that was biting hardly onto the wooden staff of Malachi Hendrickson died, as it then lets go of the staff, as its body then drops to the ground.

But its head still hanging lightly off the ground, as the rough edges of the stone dagger that is lodged deeply in the brain is keeping the dagger blade from slipping off the head.

Aaron Lee without hesitation then pulls the stone dagger out from the inside of the deceased Grey Wolf's head, the sharp rough edges of the stone dagger lacerated and ripping chunks and pieces of the dead Grey Wolf's brain matter out.

After Aaron Lee pulls his stone dagger out, the deceased body of the Grey Wolf fully drops to the ground with a thud. It lays lifelessly on the floor, with its brain ruptured.

At the same time, with the weight on his wooden staff lessened, Malachi Hendrickson then swung the dead weight body of the second Grey Wolf to the side.

The second Grey Wolf's body slammed hardly against the floor completely incompacitated it, as it slowly bled to death thanks dagger wound inflicted on the neck by Aaron Lee previously.

After slaying several Grey Wolfs, one after another, Aaron Lee and the United Rejects party group has managed to earned a huge pile of experience points, thanks to party experience distribution.

Anik Mackallick was able to quickly levelled up and gained a fair share of experience points, thanks to the experience points party distribution.

Though only the one that has managed to deal the final blow, will get the vast majority of the experience points of the monster killed.

The numbers of the Grey Wolf's pact quickly dwindled in size, as the United Rejects party group took the advantage of the narrow door entrance to kill the Grey Wolves in groups.

Overpowering the Grey Wolves with six versus two or three Grey Wolves at a time.

It was working so well until the group heard a loud beastial wolf howl, as all of the remaining Grey Wolves then immediately retreated, falling back to a safe distance.

There were huge footsteps on the stairwell, thumping each time it walks, as a huge figure then emerged out of the stairwell and enters the room that they are in.

The Grey Wolf was twice to thrice the size of an average Grey Wolf, presumably the pact leader of the Grey Wolf pact, or more accurately the Alpha Grey Wolf.

And on its back, there was a large goblin, the size of an average adult male, riding the Alpha Grey Wolf like a beast mount.

"That wolf is fucking huge!" Spoken out loud by Sameer Chowderick, as they are prepared to battle that huge creature.

Aaron Lee then swallows a mouthful of air, as he took some time to cool down, and think so carefully.

'There are currently six of us and only nine of them, but we are pretty much drained after fighting quite a large number of Grey Wolves.' Aaron Lee thought so to himself.

He grimaced, whilst showcasing a very dark facial expression.

The Goblin Rider, who is currently riding on the back saddled of the Alpha Grey Wolf grunted.

He then lets out a war cry, whilst kicking the saddle that was placed on the Alpha Grey Wolf, as he clearly the Alpha Grey Wolf to attack.

"Guukuuuiiiii! (Attaaaack!)" The Goblin Rider screams.

The Alpha Grey Wolf then immediately follows its own master's orders, issuing its surviving Grey Wolf subordinates that survives to attack, by howling.

On the orders of the pact leader, the Alpha Grey Wolf, the remaining Grey Wolves then attacks the United Rejects group.

David Griffin then rushes forth in the front of group, as he swung the stone claymore sideways, with all of his strength. The stone claymore cleaved through three Grey Wolves in a straight line.

After a swing of the stone claymore, David Griffin is thereby left defenseless for an attack by a incoming Grey Wolf.

However, Aaron Lee directly intervenes into the fight, saving David Griffin from incurring any unfortunate ends.

With one stone dagger, Aaron Lee slams down hardly on top of the Grey Wolf's snout, forcing it to closed forcefully thereby rendering its bite attack completely obsolete.

With the spare stone dagger in his other hand, Aaron Lee then directly stabs the stone dagger into the Grey Wolf's neck, causing it to bleed profusely till no end.

The bleeding Grey Wolf quickly bled to death, and the match was slowly turning to their favor.
