The world didn't just move; it broke apart.
I stared at where my shoulder used to connect to my elbow my wrist, then my hand. Now there was a messy pulsing wound of red flesh and the jagged white bone end. The weight of my side was simply gone.
"My arm...He... He took it." I stuttered as I bore the pain. The words felt heavy in my mouth
A cold strong wave of fear went through me. I began using my one and only reliable skill. Pain Manipulation.
I hid at the boulder where the goblin king can't spot me. I suppress the pain through my left part. It was unbearable. I clench both my fists and by teeth due to the unbearable pain. It was hell.
This was not a wound I could just make better. This was not a cut or a broken rib. This was a part of "me" a piece of who I'm now being held in the dirty rough hand of a monster.
I pepped into the boulder and watched, I was frozen as the Goblin King brought my limb to his face. He smelled it his nostrils getting bigger with pleasure before licking the blood coming from my cold fingers.
"Damn you goblin! You ugly goblin!"
The scream came out of my throat loud and out of control. It wasn't pain…it was the scary thought of how weak I am. I was an one, a user of blood getting more powerful... And yet in one moment I was cut down like an animal.
My breathing came in uneven gasps. My heart beat hard against my ribs each beat sending blood from my shoulder to soak the dirt. I felt weak very weak like my life was going out with the blood.
"I'm going to die. No, I don't want to die yet. I miss big brother, big sister… M-Marcel…"
The thought was quiet, calm and very scary.
"I'm going to die in this dirt with one arm and broken."
"Roxy, get up!" Plasma's voice was a noise in my head but it felt far away.
I couldn't move. I could only stare at my hand still moving in the Kings grip separated from my body by five feet of harsh reality. The "pain manipulation" of my skill was failing; a different kind of pain was coming in…the pain of losing something. The ghost of my fingers felt like they were screaming, reaching for a body they don't have anymore.
The Goblin King threw my arm away like a chewed bone. Took a slow heavy step, toward me. He didn't need to hurry. He knew.
I looked down at the space at my side my mind spinning in a frantic broken loop.
"It's gone. It's really gone. How do I fight? How do I live?"
As I muttered useless words through my mouth. The shadow of the king fell over me, cold and complete.
"Don't test me you weakling, as it is I the undisputed king of Andromeda."
The pain was unbearable, but the goblin king was still talking to me in my final moments, learning his despicable goals and admirations through his life.
"I've slained numerous luminous knights, and I've lived up at almost a century. Out of all the people who can test me, you my child are one of them." The goblin king said in a grin smile.
As the goblin king said it's message through me, he raised it's claws and began pointing at me. Ready to kill me.
"Die, lady!"
As he said that, I've used all my strength to dodge the incoming attack, a close call. Leaving the boulder behind me pulverized in an instant.
"Huh? Where that bitch go?"
I sneaked up from behind and leaped out from the goblin's back. The king noticed and began swinging it's claws around me,
I opened my mouth and dugged my sharp fangs into the king's skin, I drained his blood so that I can recover quickly. I was like a mosquito, sucking out blood from the goblin's view. The goblin screamed in agony as I drained his blood in an instant.
I drove my fangs deeper and deeper until I felt a disgusting pulp of flesh around my face, and then I drove deeper still. With enough blood I've drank, my left arm was covered up. It didn't regenerate, it sedated the pain until it was long gone. The goblin king tried to brush off me until I was caught up.
"You commoner, how dare you drink my blood with that!"
The goblin king brushed my body off until I was thrown into a nearby rock. It shattered all my bones in an instant, but it quickly regenerated after. Even though my left arm was gone, I can still use my sword easily.
[Drain Activated Extraction Completed consumed seven liters of blood]
As the message pops up, I suddenly regained my senses clearly. Both my injuries and my wounds were healed in an instant. Of course, my mana is fully recovered. I couldn't use my blood bow completely, so I only relied on my sword from now.
"Oh my, unbelievable, Roxy! I didn't knew you could pull a move like that!" Plasma appraised me.
And good news is, my left arm got patched up thanks from my sharp fangs. My most valuable skill.
This new feast had filled me with a bounty of power, I couldn't stop back. I need to defend the town, I need to kill the goblin king. As the goblin king was fully recovered, I analyzed my stats with inspect.

As I compared my stats to his, I knew I was ready. I knew that shithead pulled my left arm like it was nothing. I want to get my revenge, my revenge from my arm.
I knew that the goblin king lost a lot of blood, I drank at least seven liters of blood in one go, weakening his body and losing his blood capacity. I divert his weakness very well. He is more to losing.
With my wounds were fully recovered, I didn't sense any bit of pain and both my stamina and mana is fully restored. Now he will taste some of my vengeance.
