章 26: Drooling over eyecandy (I)
"Divide into position! Keep the goblins at bay!" Phil called out. Pointing his sword at the Orges ready to go into battle himself.
Suddenly, like a streak of lightning, Grandmother Mary was the first one to rush out with a thrilling war cry. Her grey hair trickled behind, her fierce gaze seemed to tear into the Ogre's body as if it was food.
"Grandma!" Phil cried out desperately. He fired arrows after arrows perfectly hitting the oncoming goblins. Each one of the arrows never lost its target, and even his sword sliced and diced the goblins around him. Like a war god out on a rampage, Phil killed without remorse.
I stared flabbergasted at what I just saw, Phil's grandmother was indeed a one of a kind. She bulldozed through the goblins like a bowling ball. Goblins flew left and right from a single punch from her gauntlet. The name Lioness of the Dragonia truly befitted her. She growled and struck with her deadly hands, each impact crushing or destroying the goblins. She fell thirty goblins in a matter of minutes, and she continued without stopping. For someone her age, the word monster was the best way to describe her.
All goblins trembled in fear when she approached them. The goblins that grouped up on her were quickly taken down, while the rest ran away in fear. People gazed upon her with awe and respect, their souls fired up and filled with determination as they continued to fight on.
Bloodied with green and red blood, Phil's nimble feet carried him like the wind. He dodged and struck like a viper. With each hit, more and more goblins fell to his blade. While Phil disappeared like smoke, I wondered where he had gone until he appeared from above in a tree. Don waited until they arrived towards him. He was very cautious of being overwhelmed.
With a quick sideway slash, the goblin that came jumping towards me was cut in half. Blood splattered onto the ice sword and onto my hair. I cringed at the splatter of blood on my body. Even though I had killed a monster, it was not something I got used to.
Rummaging through my pocket with my free hand, I pulled out three Level E Red Common Magic stones. Calling up magic was too much of a hassle, and it did take a bit of time to gather up a large amount of magical energy right this moment. I only needed to input a small amount of Magic energy to activate the stone itself.
Throwing the Magic Stone into the group of goblins, I yelled. "Explode!"
A burst of fiery inferno that was equivalent to my fireball appeared. Burnt flesh and screams could be heard as the goblins were caught up in the blast. I was glad that I didn't code in so many words to say the activation key. Not only that, I made sure it wouldn't explode or activate without it being my own voice.
"Explode! Explode!"
One after another, I continued to throw it into the large group of goblins, causing them to die in the blast.
These Red Magic Stones were truly useful. I was extremely pleased with how quickly the stones were becoming effective against the goblins.
"Barrier!" I threw another stone this time blue into the air. A bright shining light erupted around me, creating a thin transparent shield. The goblins that came rushing towards me collided into the barrier. Small spider cracks formed from the impact, but the barrier still held on strong.
"Shockwave! Attack all goblins!" A yellow magic stone was tossed overhead. A stream of lightning erupted from the magic stone and went outwards. All goblins that were in the vicinity were electrocuted.
"Graaaaaaaahhhh!" An Ogre bashes his way through killing the goblins that were trying to control him with the drum. He swung his club side-to-side, causing the goblins to fly.
It ran towards me with full speed. Shit. I pulled out more barrier magic stones.
"Barrier! Barrier!" I frantically yelled. The club came crashing down and broke through the first, then the second, and temporarily into the third. Immobilizing the Ogre movements, I took this chance to take a swipe at the Ogre's arm. With a quick stab, a large wound was created on the Ogre's arm, causing the blood to spill into the barrier.
With a roar, the Ogre pulled back in pain. Part of its tendons were cut, making it impossible to hold onto the club. Instead, it angrily pounded down onto the barrier and broke through. My instinct kicked in at the last second, allowing me to dodge out of harm's way. My adrenaline was pumping throughout my whole body, causing all my senses to go into overdrive.
I couldn't help but thank Phil for teaching me how to fight. In times like this, that was what saved my ass.
Kicking off the ground, I rushed forward. Not giving the Ogre a chance to react, I thrust the ice blade into its side. Pushing it deep, the sound of ice freezing over the skin could be heard. A gush of cold air slapped against my face and made me feel a chill. I didn't understand how this ice magic even affected things around me, especially how it did not affect my hands at all.
Throwing its weight around, the Ogre twisted towards me. I held tight onto the blade, hoping that I would not be flung aside.
"What are you doing?"Phil appeared from the side. He climbed on top of the Ogre like it was a tree. When he reached the top, he slammed in a knife and twisted it.
The Ogre fell down, shaking the ground around us. A loud snap could be heard as the ice blade broke inside the Ogre's body. I couldn't help but silently cry. My kill was stolen.
"You need to move your body. What are you doing just hanging on? If you're not careful, you could die."
I nodded quietly. Phil is a kill stealer! Then it hit me. Why am I even thinking like that? This is not a game for crying out loud. This is real!
Bringing myself back to reality, I noticed Phil staring at me strangely. "You alright?"
With a swift throw of his dagger, it skimmed past my cheek, and I heard something squeal behind me. I turned around, startled at the noise. He killed a goblin perfectly through its skull. What the hell? Where did he hide that dagger? I swear he's like a modern-day ninja with all these mysterious gadgets popping out of nowhere.
"I'm fine. Thanks." I quickly replied.
"You should fight what you can, but that was a nice fight." Phil raised his fingers up into a thumbs up. Even his face was partially covered. Running back into the thick crowds of goblins, he continued his guerrilla warfare.
Women, children, and even elderly folks that took the initiative to fight battled furiously as their life depended on it. They could not escape the harsh circumstance that they were in and instead push forward.
People died left and right, but for the people who fell, three times more goblins were killed on the spot.
Bababbababooom!
The multiple sounds of the gauntlet hitting furiously in the stomach of the Ogre could be heard. I couldn't help but turn my gaze towards the sound, and when I did, I couldn't help but stifle a gasp. Each continuous pound of her fist caused the belly to turn purple. Her last final hit caused a silent impact that didn't seem to damage at all until three seconds later, the Ogre's back exploded into a million pieces. This was the perfect horror scene.
I gulped. I really didn't want to get on Grandmother Mary's wrong side. I could even see Phil sweating uncomfortably when he saw his grandmother knock out the Ogre as if it was nothing.
"The gate has opened!" Someone continuously yelled from the back. The people who were waiting for the gate to open rushed through in a panic.
Some quit and instead ran towards the gates. This caused the people who were fighting to have to face twice as many goblins.
"Shit!" Phil cursed. He was surrounded slowly by goblins all around him, and Ogre wildly swung its club. Dodging, Phil ducked underneath the Ogre's leg and sliced it open.
Don ran forward. Even though his skill did not compare to Phil's, he still dismantled the goblins around him. One-by-one, they fell down like flies.
"Jump to your left!" Don called out towards Phil.
Phil instinctively moves towards the yell of Don. Don threw ten throwing knives one after another, hitting or distracting the goblins that were focused on Phil.
Gliding his sword perfectly in an arch, Phil thrust in towards the Ogre's belly and sliced it open.
I felt bile rise up in my throat. Holy crap, it's like an R rated movie seeing all the gore around me. Even though I've fought some, I wasn't prepared to see body parts being severed or guts come spilling out like water of often and so many.
How is it that both Phil and Don don't seem to be affected by the horror before us? I turned my head away from the scene before me.
Feeling a bit wheezy, I didn't have the heart to kill the goblin in front of me. This fatal mistake caused the goblin's dagger to snake its way towards my arm. With a slash, a thin cut appeared, but at the same time, the dagger broke into pieces.
Jolted awake, I batted the broken dagger out of the goblin's hand and stabbed the goblin. What the hell, I'm getting used to this way too quickly.
"Everyone gets into the gates!" Phil yelled. He completely annihilated the Ogre with Don.
The goblins stared at him in fear as they dropped their weapons and ran. An angered shout and the dying of goblins being mercilessly slaughtered. In front of me, an oversized goblin covered from head to toe in thick bone armor appeared with an ugly mace in his hand.
"Wha-" I couldn't contain my surprise. These goblins were different from the ones we were just
fighting. They even looked meaner and fiercer than before.
"Run!"
Without a second thought, I took Phil's advice to heart. I ran towards the open gates.
Clang! Clung! Cling! The heavy armor that these buffed up goblins were wearing were making loud sounds as they followed us. Passing through the open gates, I veered to the right.
Don and Phil followed closely behind. They were trying their best to halt the goblin from entering but failed. A loud rattling sound of metal chains could be heard as it pulled down the metal gates.
Kathunk!
The metal gates fell down harshly onto the ground, blocking off most of the goblin's path. Luckily, only five heavily armored goblins were able to come through, but even still, they took down a large number of people around them.
