Both vanish from the villagers' sight.
Wooosh!
They speed through forest and jump over the branches step by step.
Both zoom through the forest at a fast pace.
Clara said, "Which way are we heading?"
Endless replied back using his telepathy.
(Not far... So make sure you—)
Hmph.
Clara noticed he stopped mid-way.
She asked, "What's wrong?" She was curious why he stopped talking.
Endless.
Sense a few presence not far.
(It seems like there is another traveler not far from where we're heading.) He said through inside of her head.
Endless didn't need to look back at Clara. While rushing through the forest.
Both were synced.
They already agree. With one another heading there first.
***
Tsssg! (Engage)
Sound of sword clash with one another.
One of the knights was in the middle of the battle.
"Damn this... demon!" His tone filled with struggles.
He was battling with these low goblins.
Seven adventurers.
They are from the chameleon guild.
They were overwhelmed by numbers, and the goblins were literally overpowered by them. They never thought about being surrounded by lesser goblins. Especially, they are weakling, but with groups they're forced to be reckon with.
The seven adventurers were in battle formation.
There were three F-ranks and E-rank. And one D-rank healer.
Tyrone, his class is a fighter and the same as the other four and their names: Jacob, Lee, Danny, and Zumi.
Edward was E-rank. His class is a tank. He wielded a long axe and shield. Danny and Zumi were also E-ranks.
Elizabeth, she was the D-rank healer.
Elizabeth said, "I thought you guys say this will be easy!" She shouted with frustration. While casting a forcefield around them.
The goblins jump right at them.
Edward blocks two that were on his side with his shield.
"Well, I didn't know there were many!" Edward said with a struggle tone.
He uses his axe and cuts the two in from him.
"Stay alert everyone, these goblins are not organized than usual." Edward shouted to warn his teammates.
Edward looks behind and notices his healer was almost at her limits. While holding off the goblins away.
Elizabeth nose was bleeding.
Her face contorted in pain as blood trickled down her chin, her forcefield weakening while flickering.
The goblins attempted to weaken the shield by attacking it with their equipment.
While the humans guard their healer.
Stab!
Pa!
Whack!
Goblins kept attacking her shield.
The goblins with smug kept pursuing through the guards. While trying to get through the healer defensive. They deliberately avoided the others and focused on the main target. Other goblins were keeping the guards busy by attacking them with force.
Crack!
Her shield started to break.
One goblin sinister grin. "Keke..." His threatening tone.
While striking the crack shield with a strong force attack. While hitting it with his final blow.
Wham!
Tzzz! (Shatter)
Her shield fractured, and scatter.
She stumbled backward on the ground. The goblins saw their chance and rushed forward.
Tyrone looks at elizabeth defenseless state.
"Everyone, protect Elizabeth! She's down!" He shouted with desperation.
One of his teammates heard it.
"Got it!" Edward shouted back.
He stands behind Elizabeth and immediately protects her from the incoming goblins.
Edward said, "I'll hold them off! Jacob, Tyrone, flank left and right, I got the middle."
Both Jacob and Tyrone glance at each other and nod.
The goblins sharp dagger and rusty weapons clashed against Edward shield, sparks flying with each impact.
Edward with a smirk, "Is that all you got?" He swung his axe in a wide arc, cleaving through several goblins.
Slash!
Thud!
The axe's blade carved through flesh and bone, green blood splattering across the floor. More goblins fell, but they kept coming.
Edward quickly shouts.
"Danny, Zumi, and Tyrone, hit them with everything you've got! We need to thin their numbers!"
Danny's duel blades while in deadly arcs while Zumi using his katana swung with powerful thrust releasing an air energy cutting down goblins.
The goblins screeching in rage.
While surrounded and attacking them.
Elizabeth was trying to rest in the middle of the crisis, her magical depleted from maintaining the earlier forcefield. The goblins quickly ran towards them.
Edward was aware of it.
"Stay behind me!" He shouted while blocking a wave of attacks.
Edward swung his axe around, hitting each of his targets.
Thud!
Swoosh!
A few goblins flew backward hard.
Some already went past him.
Edward panic, "Fuck! Nooo!"
The goblins started targeting Elizabeth specifically, seeing her as the weakest link. Several managed to slip through Edward defense.
Tyrone rushed towards her.
"Lee, help Edward! I'm going to Elizabeth!" He shouted.
Lee replied back, "Got it!"
Tyrone noticed the group of goblins were already near her, with his last struggle breath.
He did the stand.
He inhaled deeply while his muscles legs pumped up, his legs sleeve slowly evaporates.
Bzzz! (Static)
His body surges with raw energy as he is attempting to rush through the horde of goblins.
Sizzling! (Heat)
A dens cloud of steam erupted from Tyrone body. He tightened his sword grip while clenching his teeth.
"Get out of my way!" He shouted with anger.
Boom!
His aura flared intensely.
Tyrone dashed forward at incredible speed, knocking the goblins away from Elizabeth.
Elizabeth said, "Thank you... I'm sorry I couldn't do much..." She coughs weakly.
Tyrone in desperation situation while out energy. He was panting hard and almost out of breath.
Tyrone replied back, "Save your strength. We'll get you out of here alive." His tone with false words. His body was shaking.
He pushes himself too much.
He started to feel weak by using all of his energy in that last move. Now, his energy is depleted.
He positioned himself protectively in front of her.
Elizabeth already sensed Tyrone magic was too low, matching hers.
"Your magic... it ran out... we need to retreat..." she said with a desperate tone.
"Hehe.. really!? I didn't notice it... I think I have a few left in me." He said with a shaking tone.
Tyrone clenched his sword, fighting to maintain his composure despite the obvious strain in his body. His breathing became heavier.
"Just focus on healing yourself. I'll handle the rest." He lied through gritted teeth.
Elizabeth already knew he was lying.
Tiss! (Clash)
Slice!
Each of the guys felt a numb in their hand.
The remaining four fighters were visibly exhausted, their movements becoming sloppy as they fought.
Sweat poured on their faces.
Jacob yelled, "Fuck! We can't keep this up much longer..." He gasped between strikes.
Was this their last struggle.
Kekkeke! (Laughter)
The goblins took the opportunity when they weakened slowly.
The goblins pressed forward in full force, sensing the adventurers' weakness. The goblins surge through in a coordinated attack, overwhelming the exhausted adventurers. Their weapons gleamed menacingly.
The group noticed their changed movements.
Edward said, "Everyone, form a tight circle! Don't let them break through!" He roared with desperation.
The horde surrounded them.
The force was overwhelming. The adventurers were also outnumbered again. The adventurers huddle together, their back against each other covering Elizabeth.
Their weapons were raised as in the final act of defiance.
Both glance at each other and nod.
"Damn it, Edward! This was your idea!" Jacob yelled with frustration.
"Ehehe... Fuck! I didn't even get to say goodbye to my dad." Danny said.
"I can't believe it, I'm going to die as a virgin!" Lee said.
"Oh well, you might as well be a virgin in your next life.... hehe..." Zumi replied back.
Each teammates were saying their last final words before they died.
Tyrone quickly got behind Elizabeth on the ground.
"At least we fought to the end..." He whispered to Elizabeth, his voice filled with resignation.
At that moment.
He grabbed both of her titties from behind, and he started playing with it.
Elizabeth eyes widened in shock as Tyrone hands touched her, a mix of fear and confusion crossing her face.
Elizabeth said, "Tyrone? What are you doing?" She whispers, trembling beneath him.
Tyrone replied back,"I always thought about you. Before we died. I just couldn't hold it anymore, I always thought about you." His word filled with trueness.
Tyrone. He took this chance as if it was last time before the goblins kill them.
Elizabeth expression mix with fear and nervous. She didn't expect Tyrone to say those words to her while being surrounded by beast.
"Really? Why do you pick the wrong time to say it. Couldn't you just say it back then?" She whispers to him in worry situation.
Tyrone with seriousness in his eyes while looking down with sadness.
"Because... I was low ranker. How could I even dream off, being with you. You're D-rank with reputation, and everyone admires you. Back then, I couldn't find it in myself to even ask you out." He said with pure feelings.
Elizabeth slowly holds him with nervous expression.
She said, "You're a damn fool. But I'll at least accept it..." she leans forward, attempts to give him a one final kiss.
Tyrone slowly leans in and kisses her hard.
Tyrone literally groping while kissing hard without considering others around them. One of his team noticed it.
Edward shouted, "Are you serious!? Here! Of all the places!" His voice filled with jealousy and hate.
Edward looks behind with frustration.
Edward saw how he grope Elizabeth right in front of him. Tyrone was licking her mouth like she was kind of a sweet candle. He saw how he grabbed her enormous bust playfully like it was his toy and even worse.
Elizabeth was responding back to him.
Edward clenched his teeth. He had a crush on Elizabeth long ago. Right when this party started.
He remembered back then.
She approached him and asked him if he could join her party, and that's when Tyrone appeared.
He didn't think much about it. Since he was just F-rank.
Tyrone asks if he can join as well, knowing he was just average low rank. Elizabeth didn't think much about it and was accepted as a kind gesture.
But Edward missed a slight calculation of Tyrone and never thought he had feelings for her as well.
Seeing how Tyrone picks the right moment to take advantage of the situation.
Edward was furious.
"This damn F-rank! He dared to still my women!" Her muttered to himself while slowly stepping back towards them.
Edward thought of one thing.
When he got close to their heated moment.
Edward grips the sword tight with a strong grip. His face shows veins pumping drastically to the neck. The pure hate he felt towards Tyrone.
While they were too busy showing each loving moments.
He was attempting to kill him right there and now.
He already imagined how it all went down. The face Elizabeth looks when he slice his head off right in front of her.
The pure agony and surprising expression of her when her lover died right in front of her.
Muah! (Smooch)...
Their lips were touching each other.
Right before Edward could kill Tyrone.
A sudden sword flew in and passed through them.
Swoosh (silently)
Both teams didn't even see that when it passed right through their circle formation.
It happened too quickly.
One unlucky goblin jumped right in front of it, with his wide open mouth.
Sling! (Slice...)
The sword went through his mouth and back around his head.
Booom! (Hitting the ground)
A loud roared causing strong wind blow.
Other looks in front of them.
By the sudden shockwave.
Hmhp...
"What was that?"
Both were questioning themselves and figuring out what just happened. When the dust slowly clears up.
"Ugh..."
There was a sword pierced through the ground.
"A sword..."
Both glance at each other.
"Did one of you throw it?" Jacob asks his team.
But none of them confess.
Edward said, "If not us... Then who?"
Swoosh!
When they were distracted, someone flew in right in front of the horde.
Boom!
Causing another surprise shockwave.
Clara, who grabbed her sword once more. While pointing towards the horde while holding her breath with quick posture. The sword in between her face, while both hands on the hilt of the sword.
The goblins who were surprised while running towards her without a second thought.
Clara finally released her breath.
Tiss (slashes)
The sound of lighting speed cuts. The lighting blade swish through the goblins, cutting them like smooth butter.
The team was too slow to react on time. The blade already slice all around without them realizing it.
Causing the entire horde around them split into pieces in a moment of seconds.
Splash! (Blood)
Blood scattered all over the ground.
Clara with confidence smirk. However, the people behind her showed their mouth wide open with shocking expression. They didn't see how she killed the goblins.
"Did you see that?"
"Not really..."
"Who's she?" to his curiosity.
The team wanted to know who's their savior.
Elizabeth is also surprised.
Clara looked behind and said, "Are you guys OK?" She asks with concern.
