After the group of whatever they were left, I checked out the injured and the half-dead people that were still alive, one of plus things about this situation was I found a better fruit than my current one fresh and had more life-force in it compared to mine, so I added it to my arsenal before deciding to heal who I can for now.
I had worked on the woman that was tossed aside by the bald man from earlier using my regeneration version as for the cloudy fluids I had no idea what to do exactly, well I did have one idea in mind but I am not sure if I even what to know the consequences, so I did the dumbest thing ever and I was more than likely the only one to ever do so...
Shit, this is really embarrassing how should I put this.
I sacrificed those fluids.
As for the rewards I got, I am taking it to my grave, this never happened and we don't talk about this ever again.
The woman I healed was still absent-minded and as for the other survivors they were 1 child, 2 teens, and 4 adults meaning that those shitbags had a total of 8 people that survived out of 19 every one of them had their tendons clipped thus their inability to retaliate I guess their captors had brains after all well maybe except for the men I killed personally.
The majority of them women died from being fucked to death as all the men took turns on the women gangraping them before moving on to the next 3 of the women that I saved including the comatose one were hunters hired to scout the camp only to be ambushed they were originally six so you get the idea of what happened to them.
Despite my kind gestures in healing them and giving them clothes (which I got from the dead), after burying the dead, they huddled together meekly as finding out I was a sorcerer triggered their fear.
They dared not speak to me, as the mere sight of me was terrifying for them even if I tried to spare them from the sight of too much bloodshed then again I couldn't really blame them as I was familiar with the secret trading each order did in the shadows.
While Avalon holds nothing back at using humans including sorcerers for rituals and the like, Sanctuarium that could be considered a haven for sorcerers is actually a brutal place for humans as they are considered 'tarnished' so either way since I healed them with my magic, these women were trembling like hunted lambs thinking that I will either 'cleanse them from the face of the earth' or use them for a possible ritual as human offering needs to be in good condition.
since they believe I came here for something I decided to pick the charm the youngest one had which was a paw of a shadow leopard a fitting item for stealth, evasion, and travel.
And before anyone mentions this, yes I snagged a tunic and some slacks so that my third leg won't be dangling about in full view, but I put those clothes away for now as I was going to use them to make a low-leveled raiment which I miss and desperately need!
I checked the camp for more useful stuff as I found a brick of iron which was quickly added to my arsenal as it was a better grade than the item that the lesser dragon broke, so now I got some good throwing knives.
I wanted to look for more stuff...
However, a ferocious roar as the sound of thumping could be heard, As the oinking of pigs followed this was one of my least favorites of enemies it was called the three little pigs and judging from the feeling it gave off this was a doppelganger, the humans remained in place due to fear as the tales of this fiend are of where you will never be able to escape once it has your scent.
the armored people already hauled ass as they knew that regardless of if it was an archfiend or a doppelganger if you are corrupted by one you will either turn into a fiend or a copy of an archfiend and your fate will be up to the sorcerers that are subjugating you.
This mostly ends in death as regular humans that are corrupted tend to pass away shortly afterward and the soul they leave behind is one of the best ingredients for nurturing new initiates.
which is why humans are considered a great commodity by all orders and factions some of them go as far as 'farming' humans as they called it, yes this is a disgusting world, Speaking of bases this makes me wonder how my base is doing but back to the main issue, I ordered the quivering women to hide somewhere away from this area as I intended on fighting it here.
the head and shield of the three little pigs were weak to fire, while the large hammer it wielded was weak to venom which I lacked, so I'll resort to using my subskill to practice and make it a permanent skill as it will disappear if I don't do so.
As a goblin in the form of a large rat with pieces of metal sticking out from its back came out from the ground trying to deliver a vicious swipe that can cause infections and poison, my blood orb took care of the creature for me as on blast sent it flying into one of the ruined tents, two more attacked from behind but the floating orb was dedicated to its duty firing two shots.
One of the shots happened to cause one of the goblins to explode and the other one was grazed was it barely dodged the attack, before delivering one of its own to my head.
A loud DING ringed out as I retaliated with a fire breath.
a gurgled screech followed as the goblin burst into flames before falling to the ground.
I touched the orb making it change to my second form of weapons as I will need speed more than reach in this round. the hungry growls of the beasts had gathered the scent of a sorcerer is like an enticing nutrient for fiends of all kinds as our very flesh can make them stronger and possibly become the next archfiend to add to their numbers.
My orb took the form of two curved short swords with a simple design, they were excellent stabbing and cutting tools as the number of fiends that were coming numbered over a hundred and still growing with the doppelganger of the three little pigs in tow.
the massive hammer and shield it held each had the face of a massive pig attached to it, while the fiends were here to eat me the big guy was here to make me one of them, I grinned as my blood boiled, hungry for this upcoming battle as the dark aura around the doppelganger gave away they strength it hid it was more powerful than the large dragon i blinded!
Fight about to pop up will he enjoy the fight to the fullest?
Will reinforcements arrive thanks to the tide of fiends?
or will be become one of them?
hehe only time will tell
