Chapter 6 - GG?

Strazio, lvl 1 classes vs level 39 goblin archer, level 27 goblin fighter armed with a battleaxe and level 30 goblin healer.

‘I may be a fool but I know when the odd are very bad.’

Having hidden the pop up notices I didn't see any warnings, quest updates or stats as they would get in my way when I am fighting.

Luck decreased by 4 for find an enemy 30x higher level

‘No way to retreat because of exit collapsing. Only option is to fight head on.’

Both the goblin fighter and I charge at each other, activating ‘Running Strike’ making a coat of blue aura surrounding me. (The color was due to the skill ‘Silent Casting’) Of course even with 'Running Strike' active I was still slower then the goblins. The Goblin archer moved around and stated shooting. I dodged the arrows he shot by moving to the right with a barrel roll but I regretted doing that only seconds later. Because now I'd lost my ‘Running Strike’ and the fighter swung his axe down, almost hitting me. Just the wind pressure from the missed stroke, pushed me back and damaged my HP. If it had touched me I would have died. My hair was standing on end, this is as close to death as I have ever gone. My body was reacting to the danger but not like most. It was not fear that ran though my veins but an odd kind of excitement. Yet I remanded in control.

‘When I dodge the arrows, that gives the fighter time to do power hits or skills that can end my life if that battleaxe even touchs me. But it has a long wooden handle like a spear so the closer I am, the less damage it can do.’

Realizing I couldn’t win with an all out attack method I switch to defensive style to make the archer use up all his arrows and the fighter use more energy well as taking as little damage as possible. On the defense I was holding well but taking damage by the winds of their attacks. Any other level 1 would already be dead, being too scared to fight and hesitant to act. But no other level 1 would have left the bunny ground yet!

‘Maybe I can win this.’

Changing my fighting style again from two hand blocking my left hand sword was blocking the fighter while the right hand was using the ‘Arrow Cutter’ skill to deal with the arrows. Using that skill made a glowing red color around my body. The archer saw what was happening and changed to the left side to shoot. This was when I swapped my fighting style to left hand arrow cutting while my right hand blocked. My Mana was getting drained way too fast. With my Mana and recharging rate I could block up to 21 arrows. I had used it 7 times so that means I could do it only 14 more times. The fighter picked up that I was trying to get the archer to fire at his sides not his back. Two more arrows were shot and cut.

‘The fighter is mainly blocking my attacks and his own attacks are.. well.. slow so I ain’t losing much health as long as I dodge it. I can use that to my advantage, now that I think about it how come I can fight like this, I mean this isn’t my body I am use to. Never mind that for now’ I thought while dodging arrows and the axe to save as much Mana as possible.

The goblin Archer finally got behind me and fired. Predicting that the archer would get behind me I moved to the side letting the arrow pass me. The fighter didn’t expect me to dodge the arrow and didn't make any move to get out of the way until it was to late.

BAM

The arrow which was meant for me had hit the fighter causing him to loss half his health and his guard was broken. Not letting this slide, I started going on a full out attack on the fighter to get rid of him slashing and stabbing him to death. Some times both swords attack and some times only one sword would strike while the other was getting ready to hit. Even with the archer trying to stop me attacking I could dodge his shots without letting go of my attacks. This was draining his health quite fast but it only got the fighter down to 15% when the third goblin stepped in.

He started healing the fighter. The goblin fighter figuring out that his ally was healing him. Probably the reason why he hadn't before now was because they were not used to prey that wounded them. The fighter was now trying to give himself sometime to reset up his guard by doing a large swing into the ground making the earth shake and me to take a few step back to avoid dying. It worked. By the time I got ready to attack again, he had fixed up his guard. So I had no chose but to go back to the defensive. From then on the archer never shot from behind me again and the priest didn't stop healing the fighter putting me in a worse position then I started with.

‘Dam, lost it.’

The fighters guard was back up as well as his health quickly pick back up to 20%

Second went by, slowly each of us planing are next move well predicting our enemy move.

‘Every 3 seconds for 1% of HP, change of plans the archer goes first. The axe is too slow of a weapon to hit me as I leave his range.’

I turn around toward the archer and try to escape the fighter range. That was only the stupidest idea anyone would come up with. The fighter was not happy with me trying to go for the archer, he punch me in the gut.

Bang.

his fist smack into my stomach, sending me fly.. I hit the ground at least 3 time and then into the caves wall destroying my HP to less then 10%.

-56HP

Due to a large hit you are temporary stunned.

-12HP

-4HP

-15HP

Usually if you loss 90% of your HP bleeding state is activated but different way you get damage effect this, like if a player poison which does this much damage would make you unconcern and a easy target. In my case of a big blunt hit my insides were screwed and just standing up was hard as I had no feeling in my legs. Although it did nothing to my HP, fighting would now be that much harder. (Just pointing out that if you have no feeling in you legs does not mean you can't use them.)

"Urg.. forgot about the good old fist." as I spat out some blood, laughing at what could cost me my life.

‘He's good’ Thought the goblins as all they had vs was easy player, when they went hunting, who gave up after one attack. But I couldn't last much longer. The archer had cost me all my mana. Without mana I couldn’t catch the arrows perfectly and got a few scratches leaving me with small cuts everywhere. As none of these were big, the bleeding effect did not get activated. Finally I got to 2HP. I was lucky that the bleeding didn't start, other wise I would be die.

‘I can't dodge any arrows, can't cut and can’t run think how do I win this.’

‘The priest that how.’

The archer fighter 2 arrow both aim to finish me off by hitting my eyes..

"Like I would let that happen."

I threw my swords at the priest, although they didn’t kill him like I wanted to, it did stop him from moving and stunned him as well. The fighter also got confused has his health was only at 43%. The archer was the only goblin that pick up what I was doing.

“Dodge, B-”

But it was to late. I had grab both arrows and stab them into his eyes. Taking away his sight and 20% of his HP not happy he tried to slam his axe down on me. Removing the arrows from his eyes, I shove one arrow into his arm loosing his grip on the axe. Well with the other arrow I shove it straight though the goblins head in a uppercut-like stab. Not stopping there I grab the axe he is holding and shove around and to a uppercut with the axe cutting is private parts apart and deep into his torso. Trying to cut his hold body in two but I lack the strength to do so, so I flip him, which I just able to do. The goblin archer tried to save the fighter but I didn't give him the chance. The finishing blow felt like in a quicktime event which you see in other games.

Once the fighter goblin died, there were no more arrows fired, but I doubt he is gone.

“I was lucky as hell to have hit the priest considering what happens at dodgeball. That means my abilities as a level 1 noob are here better here then in real life. Haha... that so sad.”

Throwing both the arrows away and grabbing the spare sword from my back. I head to the priest.

‘Best to aim for the archer next. He should have gotten to a good spot to shot me, if I go for the priest. That is what I would do now.’

As I walked towards the priest I kept waiting for the archer to shoot. It didn’t take long. I cut the arrow with ‘Arrow Cutter’ as I had gained enough mana for one more use. Changing my course I ran at the archer accelerating ‘Running Strike’. The archer fire a few arrows but I ducked and side steped them so I didn’t die despite what my HP and my insides say. When he got into my reach I stabed the archer and pining him into the rocks and shoving his bow out of reach. Grabbing two hands full of arrows from the goblins quiver I started stabbing and slashing the goblin like crazy. They were not better quality compared to my swords and he quickly died.

“Ba you-” was all he could say as his body stop moving and the the loot appeared. Dropping the arrows I unstuck the sword. I swung it a bit to get rid of the blood. Once the blood was mostly removed did I think about the priest so I approached him with my sword over my shoulder making me look more threating.

With that, two were dead, the priest was trying to escape but he couldn't because of the sword pining him to the wall.

As I got within 3 feet from him I started talking. “Now priest, tell me would you guys have done if you won."

"wee wo-uld tak-e al-l of-f you-r i-tems" (we would take all your items)

"In that case tell me where you keep all your items"

The priest's eyes change to one of fear as if he was in front of a dragon or a demon.

“In-n the-e-e buuilld-ding over-r the-re” replied the goblin as his voice was stuttering with fear. (In the building over there.)

Looking at the buildings up along the hill I saw the one he pointed to. And of course it was the top one.

‘No one ever makes this easy do they.’

"Wh-why are y-ou do-ing this t-o me." (Why are you doing this to me.)

"If I had of given up you guys would have down the same thing."

"Gup."

With a smile as if I was an angel I said “Thank you.” to the goblin. This would be the point anyone who knew me in real life would be wondering what I was planed to do, as I DON’T smile in real life. Even tho the goblin didn’t know anything about me. He did understood that me, smiling, won't ever turn out to be a good outcome.

Slash.

My sword that was over my head lifted up and then slashed down upon the goblin body leaving a large cut across his torso deep into his body. of cause one big attack on a goblin from a level 1 wouldn't kill it so.

Slash, stab, slash, slash, slash, stab, stab.

Before the goblin die his body had cuts and hole everywhere not just on his torso. his arms, legs even his face was clover in them. even thought I did this, I still think it was justified.

‘He attacked me first. Would they had let me go if I had of begged them to? I don’t think so! Why should I be nice to them?’

If goblin was a human and this event happened in real life, even if it was self defense I would have gotten a few years in jail just for killing him and 20-30 more years for making him suffer this much before ending his life.

I started to searching the goblin's drops. Their armor was rags that even couldn’t be classified as clothes. A few pieces of random loot like a fork, 3 dog bones, a pick of rope which was about 3 feet long, some grass and a cup. “Come on. What is all this junk doing here?” At least there was a bag to put the pile of junk into I could use. I lost all my starter equipment, more like someone STOLE it. so anything at all would be an improvement.

“Let see what I have got here. Identify!”

Identify is a skill use to see what the stats are on item like weapon, poison, books and all type of loot. As long as you know about this word and how to use it, anyone can learn this skill. I learned about it the other day and tried using it for the first time.

I was disappointed by what they gave me. “This is all those three gave me no wonder it said it the goblin didn’t have any good items and i can't tell any of the requirement or effect on the staff.”

Grabbing the cup and the arrows and putting them in the bag not forgetting to Identify. I also tied the weapons together so I could carry them and collected the two wooden swords that I had thrown earlier.

‘Well this cave did say they had no good loot.’

Still, I took all what they gave me, Who know maybe they could come in handy later. Although I struggle to think of what a clump of grass could be useful for.

I took a five minute break I was thing of what to do next. “I don't know if there is a way out of here. so I think collecting their item would be the next most important thing to do as their I might be a map of this place."

So of I walk toward the hill.
