The girls in the goblin cave were unconscious, The Lizard priest summoned two dragon tooth warriors. Shadow took his sword to his hand and cut off 3 fingers, they fell to the ground and grew into 3 copies of Shadows.
The Dragon tooth warriors and the copies of Shadow carried each of the prisoners towards the nearest town. "Can you see how they're doing?" asked Goblin Slayer. "Yes, They're moving at an incredible speed, and nearing the town," Shadow said looking onto the horizon seeing through his copies eyes.
"They have reached the town," said Shadow later that day. "Well that's good," said Priestess smiling. The party sat around the fire telling stories. Shadow was able to outdrink both the elf and the dwarf, Shadow extinguished the campfire, he rolled over and fell asleep.
The man crept up on the camp, careful not to make a noise, the man rummaged around searching for anything of value. He saw nothing that perked his interest.
The man looked around seeing if he could salvage anything at all, Then he saw the girl he slowly moved towards her.
She was an elf the man thought. Dark thoughts swarmed the man's head, thinking of what he could do to her. He put a hand on the elf's mouth, her eyes opened frantically she tried to move but the man brandished a knife, quickly making her stop.
The man brought his arm down and tore off her pants, The girl's eyes widened in fear of what was happening. The man then reached down and began to take off his own pants.
The man moved closer to the girl but felt a blade be put on his neck, The man was pulled up by the back of his shirt.
High elf screamed, awakening the rest of the party surprisingly. The man was thrown to the ground in disgust, Shadow stood over him after watching him try to rape High elf he felt no sympathy for this monster
The man tried to run, he got up and took off, getting a few feet before feeling a tentacle wrap around his leg, pulling him to the ground. Shadow watched the tentacle extruding from his body pull him back.
He stood above the man who looked at him in terror, "You try to steal our resources, and rape the women" he said gesturing to the ransacked campsite. Shadow put his hand on his sword hilt, holding it in both hands. "Your no better than a goblin." Shadow finished driving the blade deep into his heart.
After that, Everyone rushed to High Elf's aid, Goblin slayer said. "She doesn't look physically injured, Its a good thing you got to her before he did any real damage." "Do you need any healing?" asked Lizard priest helping her up.
"N-No, I'm fine," replied High Elf shakily. The party took inventory in the dark making sure everything was alright. "It looks like he was looking for valuables," said Dwarf.
"You guys go back to sleep, I'll stay on watch duty," Shadow said summoning a chair, and taking a seat. The rest of the party agreed, going back to sleep.
Once the party reached the adventurers guild, Jack decided to do some solo adventurers on his own, to get a feel of what he could go up against.
After being upgraded to obsidian, Jack was walking towards the adventurers guild but decided to stop by the armorer first.
As soon as Jack entered the shop he noticed a few things, first both the Shops owner and his worker had their hands up while being held up at sword point. The bandits looked at him and said "Get lost or you'll be next!" Jack sighed and walked over to the wall of the shop.
"Hey, pal!" said another bandit walking up to Jack. This one held an ax, Jack began to inspect some knives. "Are you stupid or something?" asked the bandit. "This is a robbery!" shouted the bandit, pointing his ax at Jack. "Give me all of your gear!" shouted the bandit again.
Jack smiled, time for a challenge. He was suddenly in motion. the knife he was holding flew towards the attacker, The bandit surprised was only barely able to move and have the knife pierce his shoulder.
Jack then took two daggers off the wall and rushed while the bandit was still stunned. He stabbed with one dagger, the bandit deflecting it but cutting his hand but failing to block the other dagger which Jack used to stab his heart dropping him instantly.
Jack looked to the rack and saw a throwing ax. The other bandit was surprised his partner dropped like an inexperienced fighter. While he was distracted, Jack took the ax and threw it aiming for the bandit's head.
The bandit wasn't nearly as fast as his partner, and the ax sliced into his head with a satisfying thunk. He dropped to the floor the ax still lodged into his skull.
Jack walked over the corpse towards the counter, "Sorry about the mess." he said to the shop owner. The owner and the worker were stunned, "Damn boy, What rank are you?" asked the owner still in shock.
"Obsidian," said Jack walking out the door. He took a few steps, inhaled, and dodged an incoming arrow.
"Come on boys we've got an adventurer here," said the archer to the rest of the bandits.
Jack assessed his attackers, mostly all were using simple weapons that weren't magical by the looks of things. He exhaled and looked around for a weapon. Jack's eyes rested upon a shovel in the ground.
That will have to do. Thought Jack. He walked over to the shovel, picked it up, and swung it at an incoming bandit. The bandit went down and another yelled and charged with his sword.
Jack smiled and raised his shovel.
The archer bandit began to sweat, he thought the adventurer would surrender due to the number of attackers. He didn't even have any weapons! But he watched the adventurer take down man after man with only a shovel.
It was a mistake to underestimate him thought the archer, nocking another arrow and taking aim.
Jack saw the arrow come towards him, he was currently fending off three other bandits, with a little trouble. "Alright playtime's over."
Jack knew that he couldn't just morph in front of them so he devised a plan. Jack concentrated and morphed his hand enough to summon his sword the bandit, opening himself trying to stab Jack got stabbed himself and fell down.
Jack summoned two kunai and threw them into another bandits chest killing him. And for the final bandit, Jack slit their throat while they were distracted.
Jack stood over the dead bodies emotionless the demon in him taking over. His morphed hand quickly rose and caught the incoming arrow.
The archer was stunned this lone adventurer took out his bandits and he was next. He felt a cold chill as Jack walked slowly closer, partially morphing to settle in the fear in the archer.
The archer tried to run but tripped, he fell, and watched in horror as the demon stood before him.Sorry for the late update, but here's the latest chapter! Please comment on how the story is going so far and what you think of my character. Till next time!
