Chapter 5B: Save the girl

Without a second thought I firmly held my crappy spear in my right hand and my knife in my left and I boldly charged at the kobold that was nearest to me.

I brought up my spear and thrust it towards the kobold at the base of it's neck.

I felt some resistance from it but I managed keep on pushing my spear into its neck and it eventually came through the other side.

The dead kobold fell down and the others looked at my direction and were stunned.

I took this chance to charge to another kobold and I aimed for it's neck with  my knife. I don't know if it was luck or clumsiness but because of its fear the kobold stepped backwards and I missed its neck and my knife plunged into it's right eye.

"Run away!" I yelled at the frightened young girl.

The kobold screamed in pain in some sort of unintelligible language and fell to the ground writhing in pain while clutching its bleeding eye.

*Slam!*

I felt a blunt object hit me on my right side where I was blind and I was thrown to the ground about 2 feet away.

My HP went down to 11/15 and I definitely felt some ribs cracking from the blow.

I looked up at my assailant and saw [Kobold Lv: 10] [Kobold Lv: 7] [Kobold Lv: 6] and a[Kobold Lv: 6] who was the still on the ground holding its eye, and [Rachel Lv: 1] as the girl's back was towards me as she heeded my order and was running off into the forest.

I was able to painfully get up before the level 10 kobold smashed its club down towards me and I was able to narrowly dodge its attack.

I rolled to the side and I could feel the pain in my ribs... yup definitely cracked... or broken...

I reached the kobold that was still on the ground and took my knife out of its eye and it cried out in pain again. I swiftly stabbed its neck and put it out of its misery.

The highest level kobold, who I assumed was the leader of its group let out a howl and said something in their language and the others began to charge me with their weapons in hand.

So I did the only thing that could possibly guarantee my survival. I ran.

I was hoping that with my increased agility I would be able to outrun these monsters. I coincidentally ran in the same direction that Rachel went in and I was hoping that she was far enough and had the sense to hide and that I didn't run into her.

I could hear snarls and growls behind me as the kobolds chased after me.

As I entered into a small clearing in the forest with adrenaline pumping through my veins I halted in my tracks with disbelief on my face as I saw Rachel falling down to the ground dead with blood pouring out of her stomach and 3 small, ugly green monsters that had crappy looking wooden spears with them.

[Identify] kicked in and I was able to find out what they were.

[Goblin Lv: 8] [Goblin Lv: 7] and [Goblin Lv: 6]

The kobolds finally caught up with me and circled behind me. They also looked surprised at the sudden appearance of the goblins and they looked at them with hostility and the goblins hissed at them while showing their hideous brown teeth.

'So... they must be hostile to each other... I have to turn this situation into my advantage...'

I quickly dashed away from where I was between the two groups and began to run away from them.

Both groups actually ignored me. They were instead focused on the dead body of Rachel.

They tried to intimidate each other and brandished their weapons.

But they both refused to back down as they both wanted to eat the flesh of the dead girl.

It was inevitable for them to engage in battle and I watched as both groups fought each other to the death.

I felt really pissed off at my wasted efforts of trying to save this girl and it failed because of those goblins...

I picked up a nearby stone that weight about 5 pounds and slowly got closer and closer to the fighting group.

A kobold tripped and fell to the ground. As the goblin rushed in for the kill I grunted and threw the rock straight at the face of the goblin.

I could see the teeth and blood come out of the goblin as it fell to the ground and I ran towards the fallen kobold and stabbed my knife in its neck quickly took it out and killed the goblin that I threw the rock at.

I watched as a goblin killed a kobold and went to help his comrade.

The single kobold was locked in a unfair deadly battle against 2 goblins.

I grabbed the spear of the goblin that I killed and waited for my chance.

The battle was nearing its end as the kobold was able to kill the weaker level 6 goblin and it was now a 1 vs 1. But the kobold was covered in many wounds and was breathing heavily. The goblin didn't look much better either and I knew that this was my chance.

I threw my spear at the goblin and it hit it pierced its back. It let out a guttural cry in pain and it feel down. The kobold was shocked that it's opponent suddenly died and didn't know what to do.

I took this opportunity and ran towards it and stabbed it with my knife, plunging it straight into its heart and it died.

The goblin was moaning in pain on the ground and I finished it off with a quick cut to the throat.

It's finally over...

I was mentally and physically exhausted. Before I walked back to the small stream that I came across earlier I first stored all of the crappy weapons from the monsters and went on my way.

I finally noticed the windows that popped up that I ignored...
