Chapter 23 - Monsters (Part 1)

We all stared at the walls the continued to burn down, we hadn't thought this far about what we should do. "If the goblin with black hair is the summon the rest of them shouldn't be a threat." Zora quickly said.

"But what are we supposed to do if the goblin was the weakest among them all?" Pasha said, but I replied with. "I doubt it's the weakest, it could speak."

Everyone went quiet, we didn't have close enough information about the goblins to make a decision about what to do, but it was worse to wait and let them regroup. "I think we can win, and if it gets too dangerous you 4 run and I will distract them." And with that I ran inside the walls through the burning gate.

As I was running I cut down two goblins with my sword who were in my way, more goblins came forward, some of them even had primitive spears, but the spears were not match for my sword.

More and more goblins came forward, but they were cut down 1 by 1 until I saw him again, the goblin with black hair, he was watching me, waiting for the right moment to attack me, I couldn't give it the chance, I continued to kill the goblins with renewed determination.

But more and more goblins continued to come at me until finally he made his move, I couldn't keep and eye on him while still fighting the goblins, I slashed at a goblin, but when I looked back at where the goblin with black hair was he was gone, I looked around to see if I could find it, but it was gone.

I could feel something brush past my right leg, and then I could feel the sharp pain on the right side of my hip, I tried to hit the gobln with black hair with my sword, but it quickly dodged my slash.

The goblin with black hair quickly got next to me so it was just out of reach for me. "It seems you are quiet weak, but I have a way of beating you so don't worry you won't have to suffer for too long." As it finished it's sentence fire appeared in it's hand.

"Nade don't run off!" Pasha quickly ran after me, but as Pasha was running towards the gate but something fast, no, it wasn't supposed to be fast, in any other case, but this one it would have been the slow enemy everyone knows, Pasha who could barely react got hit on the back and got hit to the ground.

Brunilde quickly moved forward drawing her sword to strike at what hit Pasha, but as she blinked it had already disappeared, Brunilde looked around for it, but before she could think of what to do, it was already behind her, but this time it had a club to swing at her with.

But before it could manage to hit her with it Zora came dashing forward with speed even surpassing Folke and Pasha with Colville behind her trying to keep up, Zora was so fast she managed to push Brunilde out of the way and dodge the hit herself from the monster.

But as the club hit the ground a voice could be heard. "Well aren't you just a fast one?" It spoke, Zora finally got a good look at it, it was an orc? Zora though to herself how could and orc be so fast, was it perhaps the summon for the orcs? But why was it here.

But before Zora could think about it more the orc quickly swung at her again which she managed to barely dodge, the orc swung again and again with Zora being forced on defense, Zora knew she could win, she just had to touch the orc directly to win.

As the orc was swinging it's club and Zora, Colville managed to sneak up behind it, Colville quick threw his sword and stabbed the orc on the back, but as Colville tried to get his sword out of the orcs back the orc quickly turned around and swatted him away with a single hit from it's hand.

But in this moment Zora quickly jumped forward jumping on top of the club and using it as momentum to lunged at the orcs head and grabbing on to it's head.

"What the hell." I couldn't belive it How did they managed to kill a true self, I walked forward and on the ground was laying a true self of someone, but how? As far as I knew we should be untouchable by anything, but there was always one thing, or people I never tested it with other true selves, could I touch them? But my question wouldn't go unanswered for too long.

"It seems you have found him." I turned to face him, he looked more like a monster this time than he did earlier. "Are you showing your true colours now?" I asked looked at him who looked more disgusting.

"It would be a shame to kill you already when you could still be useful, my names Mayur Phuc, join me and I will let you live." Did him becoming the true self of the goblin summon make this guy and idiot, or did he truly think I would accept.

"The name is Nade Novikov and I will be the person who kills you." I gave him a fake smirk to try and intimidate him, but he wouldn't back down so fast.

"You already saw what I did to the other true self who didn't agree to working for me, so why do you think you are any different." He charged towards me immediately, but as he reached me I deflected his first attack tackled him to the ground, I could actually touc this guy, I could feel someone else, I quickly hit him in the face again and again. "Come on you stupid goblin creature fight back or are you just that weak that you can't?"

But Mayur quickly managed to get the fight to a stalemate.
