Chapter 7: The escape
I ran as fast as i could.
I did my best to ignore the corpses of everyone i knew, although i wanted to at least bury them, i knew it was not the time to do that.
I could hear the angry noises of some goblins that noticed me, probably they were already pursuing me.
However, i was fast enough to lose all of them
I was already reaching the hole in the wall.
But it was then...
I saw their corpses.
My parents corpses.
They were embracing each other on the ground, covered in a pool of blood.
I wanted to cry beside them.
I wanted to at least spend some last moments with them, even if they were already dead.
I spent my life with them for 12 years...
They took the place of the family i lost when i reincarnated.
But i forced my legs to keep running.
I felt some tears run down my face.
My throat hurt because of me trying to contain my sobs.
That was when i heard a voice.
"Well, seems like we have one survivor..."
A goblin was standing above the wall.
F*ck
What is this shitty luck...!
It was a Goblin sorcerer.
"I thought i couldn't need to intervene in this... It looks they're more incompetent of what i thought. It seems like i will need to take care of this matter by myself"
He casted a Chaos ball in his hand, and then threw it towards me.
I quickly swung my sword towards the spell in order to cut it in half.
*BOOOOOM!!!*
It immediately detonated at the contact with my sword and i was sent flying by the explosion
However, it didn't deal damage to me.
Despite the speed i was launched, i managed to land on my two feet.
"What an interesting weapon you have there, it actually absorbed the energy of that explosion..."
I ignored him and continued running towards the hole in the wall.
"But how much energy can it take without breaking?"
He started firing a lot of fireballs and Chaos balls at me.
I dodged most of them, and i cut the ones i couldn't dodge.
But my stamina was depleting quickly, at this rate i wouldn't be able to escape.
I took out my bow and fired an arrow towards him.
More specifically to his eye.
However, he blocked the arrow with a Chaos ball.
"Where did you take that bow from? Are you perhaps a human mage? kekekeke what an interesting magic, i'm really going to enjoy breaking all your limbs until you tell me your secrets"
"Like hell i'm letting you capture me..." i said
He made an error.
Although my purpose was to hit his eye, it also had another purpose in case it didn't work...
It was to distract him for a bit, so that i could reach the hole of the wall while he blocked those arrows.
And it worked.
I finally reached the exit of the village.
However, i couldn't help but glance once again at the corpses of my parents.
My hands trembled and my face was twisted in anger and sadness.
I wanted to save everyone.
But even with all my preparations i couldn't.
I lost it all.
Goddammit...
"Well, well, isn't a bit early to end this"
The voice of the Goblin sorcerer stopped my thoughts, and i realized the reality of my situation right now...
When i got out of the village, there were at least dozens of Goblin archers pointing their bows at me.
I was trapped.
"Don't kill him, i need him for my investigation..."
The Goblin sorcerer was approaching me from behind.
I couldn't escape.
There was no Plot armor to save me, i was not a protagonist...
The only one that can save me now it's myself.
I needed to think of something before he could reach me.
Even if he was a Goblin sorcerer, he was still physically stronger than human a like me.
If he reached me, i couldn't be able to escape from his grasp.
I checked my inventory
-Wood: 3.26 - Stone: 56.64 -Sand: 15.46 -Dirt: 29.2 -Tomatoes x107 -Bread: x39 -Work Bench. -Deadly wooden sword. -Wood helmet. [Equipped] -Wood breastplate. [Equipped] -Wooden hammer. -Frenzying wooden bow. -Imperfect wooden bow. -Imperfect iron shortsword. -Map -Mushrooms x7 -Daybloom x5 -Arrow x46 |
I know!
I rapidly ran towards the wall behind me and began placing blocks of dirt like a stair to climb the wall rapidly.
"Immobilize him" The goblin sorcerer said.
The archer aimed at my legs, ready to cripple me...
However, i blocked all the arrows with stone blocks until i finally reached the top of the wall.
"Tsk, useless"
While i started running above the wall, he quickly started firing spells towards me again.
However, that was what i wanted.
I swung my sword towards a nearby Chaos ball and detonated it.
"BOOOOM!!"
I was sent flying off the wall because of the force of the explosion.
While in the air i twisted my body and fired an arrow towards him.
Thanks to the thick cloud of smoke after that explosion, he couldn't see the arrow being fired, and after a few seconds the arrow landed exactly where i wanted.
His eye.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!"
You have dealt 33 damage |
Goblin sorcerer HP: 207/240 |
He quickly kneeled, and started screaming like a little b*tch.
"Did that hurt, you f*cker?" I yelled at him while grinning.
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore... KILL HIM!!!" He yelled with his face twitching from anger and pain.
I was currently more than 20 meters above the ground.
A fall from this height could probably injure me gravely.
However, i calculated the direction the explosion could send me to.
I was going to land on a tree.
That could stop me from suffering a lot of damage.
However, before i could even notice an arrow pierced my leg
"ARGH!"
Sh*t!
I was going to land on the tree, however with my leg injured i couldn't land safely anymore.
So before i could fall past the tree...I used my hands to grab on to the trunk.
"AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!"
My nails were probably broken by now.
However, i managed to stop the fall.
I slowly landed on the ground with my uninjured foot.
Ahead of me there was a dense forest.
Trees and bushes everywhere, it was the perfect place to hide.
I started running as fast as i could, but with my injured leg i couldn't run as fast as before.
After running for some minutes i began to hear the voices of the goblins archers.
I Probably left a trail of blood while running...
F*ck
I was wondering what could i do to lose them, when i saw the entrance to a cave on the ground.
I quickly entered the cave, and then covered the entrance with dirt blocks.
Sigh...
My body fell to the ground, gravely injured, and mentally tired.
I couldn't continue anymore.
I crawled through the floor, and i put my back on the wall of the cave.
*Huff puff*
My breathing was rough and heavy.
All the adrenaline that suppressed the pain my body was feeling went away...
I was currently suffering a lot of pain.
However, i endured it, i didn't want to make any sound so that they couldn't hear that i was inside the cave.
I glanced at my HP...
-Aspen (Aeron) [Infant] [Human: 99,999%] [Divine being: 0,001%] Age: 12+(19)
-Status: [Bleeding (Can't auto-regenerate HP): 44 minutes left] [Hp: 17/125] [Mana: 40/40] |
Haaaah....
I exhaled tired.
My mind couldn't endure the pain and exhaustion anymore.
I quickly felt my consciousness leaving my body.
I just...
Wanted to sleep...
*Tuth*
My mind shut down and i fell asleep.
