章 13: Goblin attack
Kurisu was in front of me completely naked, I again got a glimpse of something that should only exist as a work of art for its degree of perfection. Being honest I was a little nervous about the feeling of spoiling or blemish such a creation from God. Wouldn't I be cursed or punished for doing so? Well, some people would surely curse me with all their heart, but I wasn't worried about that at the moment.
I touched her skin slowly with my hand running down her spine to her waist, she felt like pure silk, but at the same time warm and soft, giving me an impulse to bite her playfully and my goal was the two pink mounds in front of my eyes
I looked up at her face which was redder than normal and her wet eyes that looked directly at me, then her lips opened.
"How long are you going to make me wait? Or do you want to embarrass me?"
Screw it, if I am to be punished so be it. I will not regret it, it is something worth dying for. I pushed her shoulder gently to lay her down and climb on her body while thanking Cross for giving me this life.
[Alexander !!]
"What's up? Wait about 2 more hours or at least one ... let me enjoy this moment and you'll have my complete attention after Aurora"
[Stop sleep talking and open your eyes]
"Eh, sleep?"
To confirm her words my eyes widened and only darkness filled my vision. The "naked kurisu" had abandoned me ... damn it, you could have at least let me finish my sweet dream Aurora. Now I'm just exited ... hell, I think the image of Kurisu's naked body was too much for me.
[Stop saying nonsense, the enemy is approaching the cave]
"What?"
I quickly get up extending my domain and wiping the drool from my face. I feel several presences on the edges of it, confirming Aurora's words, I take my armor from my inventory and put it on while approaching Kurisu to wake her up.
"Kurisu, wake up something is coming close to us"
"Alex ... nooo ... you have to be gentle"
"Kurisu!! Wake up fast and tell me what you are dreaming about!"
"E-eh? Alex ... a-a dream?"
"Yes, what was it about?"
"W-we were both ... wait, why do I have to tell you? Y-You idiot"
Ah damn it, her mental clarity was restored too quickly ... she could give me at least some details, right?
[Focus Alexander]
Right, it is not the time for this, curiosity won me over and I wanted to know if it was one of those shared dreams. Sorry Aurora, do you have any idea what it can be?
"Kurisu, take all your equipment and be ready, something is approaching the cave, most likely it is hostile. Keep your weapons loaded for whatever it may be."
"I understand"
[Most likely they are goblins who tracked you to the cave. They must have realized that something was killing them and went out to investigate]
I assumed that, but they tracked me? ... Aah shit, I forgot to spray the odor blocking powder when we returned.
The goblins kept approaching and the number that entered my domain increased. They were already about 100m from the cave. They went to the entrance and watched from outside, it was dark and the moonlight illuminated very little ... we are at a great disadvantage this time.
"Grouw" "Gruuuon" "Grrr"
Their growls reached my ears more and more clearly, I touch the Beretta on my waist and tap on it with my index finger. The first thing is to nullify their advantage from the night vision ... Aurora, buy about 10 hand flares and a flare gun.
[It's 20C for 10 flares, 2C or 20G a piece and 150C for the gun. Are you okay with that?]
Do I have enough resources? If I have them don't hesitate, it's not like I can spend them once I am dead. For now it is better to solve our visibility problem even at the expense of all my wealth.
[It's enough. I used 150C and 200G, the objects are in the inventory]
"Do you know how many enemies are out there?"
Kurisu asks me standing by my side tightly holding the M-14, even I feel somewhat restless with this situation, the fact that she looks calm enough comforts me a little.
"Quite a lot, so far I sense 22 approaching the cave"
"22?"
"We have killed 18 rights? 4 more is not a big difference"
I said smiling trying not to scare her. But they were not only 22, more began to appear every few seconds ...
"You go back a little inside the cave and knock down those who are far from the entrance, I will take care of those who approach blocking their path here"
"B-but I don't know if I can see them from that distance ..."
"That will change soon."
I said taking 4 flares in my hands. Just waiting for the attack to start, I'll throw these first. I will also use the flare gun while fighting as a distraction.
Damn, their number keeps increasing. Now there are 30 of them ... I notice some of them are not far from the cave and hiding among the trees in the shadows. But it seems that they are not going to attack, they are probably waiting for others.
"GROOOOWWWN"
As we watched, minutes passed by, there was a loud roar in the darkness of the forest that penetrated down to our very soul. Kurisu next to me trembled and the goblins did the same, but after the initial surprise they charged toward us.
I hit the base of the flares on the wall of the cave causing them to ignite, and one by one I throw them in the area in the front of the cave with a few meters between each one, in a way that illuminates the largest possible area.
They were puzzled by the sudden red fluorescent hue, putting their hands in front of their eyes because of the discomfort caused by the flare. Logically I didn't wait for them to adapt to the light, I start shooting and emptied the cartridge over them and following my example, Kurisu did the same behind me.
I didn't take a new magazine out of the bag on my leg, I just eject the one in the gun and fill it again using the free seconds I have. Maybe I should have bought more magazines... well, it's too late to regret it now.
The bodies of the goblins fell constantly, but because of the short distance on both sides and their numbers that don't seem to decrease, after using all the bullets that I had just filled in the cartridge they managed to reach the entrance of the cave.
I draw Black Moon taking it with my right hand while in my left I hold the Beretta. I advance to the goblin that is attacking me and evade his blow making a low cut amputating his leg, he loses balance and falls.
I count the seconds until the next one comes, nailing the sword to the ground and I remove the magazine without bullets from the Beretta and replace it with one of the 2 that I have on my leg. I pick up my sword and receive the next two goblins that arrive after.
With a cut from top to bottom diagonally I take care of the first and the second who intended to throw a rock at me got shot in the forehead preventing him from doing so. Unfortunately there was no time for rest, three others arrived taking the place of those who fell.
When I looked at them, they had the name of elite goblin over their head. Great, these also come in groups, in addition to being a little stronger than normal the problem is that they carry better weapons. Two of them had swords battered due to lack of maintenance and the last one a dagger.
I shoot the first one and knock him down, even with better weapons if they don't get close enough they are no different than the others, they die equally from the bullets of my gun. With a smile on my face at the thought of that, I aim to the second, but before I can pull the trigger I feel that something is holding my leg. I turn my vision and find the goblin whose leg I had cut off trying to bite me. It is good that this time I'm wearing lizard skin shoes because I only feel the pressure of his teeth on the area but there is no pain, I embed my sword in his head until it reach the ground.
When I take it out, leaving the goblin that was spitting blood from his mouth and staining my shoes, the other two elite goblins reached me. The one with the sword comes in my direction so I block it with mine, but the one with the dagger goes to my side and takes advantage of the fact that am entangled with his partner to try to stab me with the dagger.
While I'm clenching my teeth in anticipation of the pain that will come, I saw a part of his head bursting where the bullet shot from Kurisu comes out. Ah, hell that was close ... both, his dagger and the bullet were close. I feel my legs shake a little.
Only the elite goblin with which I crossed swords remained, his strength was greater than mine, so he pushed me back slowly. I aligned my Beretta with his head and shot. The weapon that was trying to cut me lost its strength and fell along with its owner.
The goblins continued to attack the cave no matter how many we take down in the process, it was mentally exhausting to look up and see that their number did not seem to decrease.
I knock down the same amount of goblins as the remaining load of the magazine's bullets left in the weapon and proceed to insert the last one. At that moment a shout from Kurisu and Aurora reach me at the same time.
["Watch out Alex / Alexander"]
I raise my head and suddenly I felt an impact on my head making my world spin around. With my hand holding the part that hurts, I realized that a rock has been thrown at me. I shake my head to try to take away the drunken sensation, but without giving me more time goblins come to where I am at
"Aaahhh"
With a shout to my enemies, I concentrate my domain on the closest ones, causing their steps to stop, trembling at the pressure and intimidation created by the sound. I charge towards them and take their lives with bullets and slashes
"GROWWW"
The fearsome roar is heard again throughout the area, and looking for its origin I found the largest goblin I have seen so far, probably about the same height as Kurisu or a little taller. On his head stood two horns that were visible to the naked eye. He had a muscular but somehow chubby body and wielded a large ax.
With a presence that stood out on the battlefield he appears riding what looked like a wolf. The goblins stop and watch him with fear and idolatry.
Damn, isn't he too full of himself to be a simple goblin? ... Well, it's not a simple goblin, I could read over his head [Goblin Chief level 22]. Let's think positively and say that he saved me the work of going to his den to take him out.
Fuuu ... let's see what you are made of. I pointed my Beretta at him and shot, he must have been watching us for quite some time and anticipated what would happen because he had his axe covering all the vital spots on his body.
"Tch ... well, it would be weird if he died with just that"
While expressing my thoughts he charges towards me, with the speed of the wolf it doesn't take long to arrive and he waves his weapon. By instinct I block it with Black Moon, which was a bad idea. The impact shakes my body and sends me flying several meters, I roll a couple of times and when I stop I was on my knees with one hand on the ground and the other holding my sword as a support.
My arms were numb and I lost the Beretta from the blow. The goblin leader looks at me and from what I can interpret from his features, seems to be laughing and having fun because of my situation.
"Kurisu, Kill his wolf !!"
"Y-yes, are you alright?"
"Don't worry about me, there are just a couple of scratches."
I take out two flares and hit them against the ground causing them to activate. The goblin Chief that intended to charge, gets distracted by it and observes the sparks created by the flares. Standing still, I focus my domain on the wolf that he is riding ... if it doesn't have much effect on the elite goblins , I can't expect it to work against the Goblin Chief.
"Kill the wolf"
[Bang]
"Woouf"
The wolf's legs give out and his head touches the ground moaning in pain, the goblin Chief who mounted him follows him to the ground when he loses his balance. I throw the flares in the direction of where I was before flying away looking for my gun, I found it and run to where it is.
Thank God it wasn't far, I take it and unload the magazine where the goblin Chief stood. A few bullets hit the target, but nowhere important, only succeeding in pissing him off. He roared at me, taking the ax and fiercely hitting the wolf with the blunt side, throwing it in my direction.
The wolf's body passes beside me howling in lament. Well, if he treats his allies like that, I don't want to know what awaits me if fall into his hands...
I go back to where Kurisu is aiming the rifle at the Goblin chief. I hear the shot and see a good piece of meat detach from the shoulder which he holds the ax. With the opposite hand, he presses the wound.
"GROOOOOOWWWW"
He looks at us as if we had killed his family ... which makes sense because we have done that. The flares I threw begin to fade, losing their brightness and the darkness regains its lost dominion.
"Kurisu lend me your Beretta"
I keep mine in my inventory and take the Beretta with the magazine from her hands, I place them on my waist and in my bag respectively. I take the flare gun and aim it at the sky and pull the trigger.
[Bang]… [Puum]
A short bang is heard followed by a little explosion accompanied by a light hiss and the entire area around the cave is illuminated in a reddish tone.
"Graon" "Greew" "Grrrun" "Grown"
The crowd of goblin is disturbed by the sudden little sun in the sky and they growl in fear. The Chief observes with distrust and restlessness and seems to be deciding what to do next. Replacing the flare gun with the Beretta in my hands, I begin to walk and start shooting at the normal goblins.
"GROONW"
The goblin Chief gives an order and goes back to the forest while looks at us and covers himself with the ax, with his retreat the rest of the goblins run to the forest in panic. I only managed to knock down a couple more before they disappear from my vision.
Seconds later the place returns to its tranquility with only the sound of insects in the background. Haaa ... we have resisted, I clean the blood that was driping from my temple to my chin stopping the falling drops.
[Beep]
[Alexander level up to 9]
[Kurisu level up to 9]
"What do we do now?"
Kurisu's voice interrogates me while approaching with sweat dripping down her forehead and the hair sticking to her skin. I think for a moment, but before answering I ask Aurora. Aurora do you know how much is left till dawn?
[Less than 1 hour]
"Let's rest for about 15 minutes while we prepare everything to follow after them, with the amount we killed yesterday and those who we just knocked down, I think we have reduced their number quite a bit by now. Besides, their leader is injured, he is probably frustrated and the whole camp will be in disarray after their loss"
"I get it"
"Let's finish the mission and get out of the forest"
With that said I take out all the magazines and we begin to fill them while remaining alert of our surroundings. They could still come back and attack us after all, I keep my domain active and focus on any suspicious movement that occurs.
