Chapter 8 - Surprise Visit

-Inner Part of Cave-

"KAACHHAAA!" Damn Goblin, focusing its strength on its attack trying to pierce my skull with its long spear! I need to get out of here!

"I'm not going to die here!" Screaming with all the energy I have left! I lifted my dagger and parried the attack of the Goblin making it pierced the ground beside my head! It was so close! If it hit me it's an instant death for me.

The Goblin's spear is stuck to the ground and it can't pull it up. I took advantage of the situation, rolling below the giant wolf and stabbed its belly mercilessly without any second thoughts.

"This is the payback from your attack earlier!" I repeatedly stabbed it and hot blood gushing through my face! Disgusting!

"WOOOOOOH!" It cried in pain! That's more like it! The Giant Wolf became so weak, dropped to the ground. I was able to get out in time before it drops on me. The Giant Wolf is in its last breath. How did I even managed that! The Goblin is still strong, I need to do something or we will be wiped out.

The Goblin finally pulled its spear and swung it trying to do the same attack again! But I'm not that dumb, it's fast and hard to avoid so I once again parried the attack.

*BAAAAAAM* Man, the impact was too powerful. I almost lost my grip!

In an instant, another swing of its spear is heading towards me and I tried to parry again but it shattered my Dagger. This is bad. I can't get my old dagger from my bag!

The Goblin's trying to hit me again. This time, the attack of the goblin isn't a swing but a piercing attack aiming for my head! Again! Why does it like my head so much!

I don't have ways of blocking it so instead, I tried to avoid it and it was a successful evasion! Without any weapon or shields, my body is so light, I can easily evade the attack. The goblin was surprised and started to attack again, swinging and stabbing its spear but all they hit was the air. I countered the attacks with light punches. The attack wasn't that strong but managed to land several hits.

The Goblin was so pissed he just attacks recklessly without any plan or thoughts. It's just a mini-boss but we're low-ranked so we're still having a hard time. I repeatedly attack it until the Goblin is almost dead. The fight was tough but I turned the table around.

I know that the Goblin's strength is almost dropping so I decided to unleash the last hit. It was a heavy punch focusing a ton of force. The attack has a disadvantage when used, it slows you down after the attack.

"HEAVY PUNCH!" But I still tried it and finally, I managed to kill the Boss with a powerful blow to its head.

"THIEF RANK UP! THIEF: RANK D" Neat! Finally managed to increase my rank. I guess a life and death situation like this gives more rank progress.

The guys are still trying to kill the other goblins. I helped them and managed to kill most of them.

"Wooooh! I thought we're going to die here but we managed somehow. Scy I'm pretty sure you're in a tight spot earlier, how did you manage to kill the Boss by yourself?" Elou asked while gasping for breath because of physical exertion. I can even hardly move my body.

"I just caught it off guard and took advantage of it, nothing worth mentioning. The important thing is we are all alive," I replied while trying to look for a rock to sit on. That cut their curiosity.

We rested for a while, eating what's left in our bags. It was really a tough fight and there's no one to help us. We really need to find a high-ranked comrade to help us in these kinds of dungeons.

After resting for a bit, we looted the area. The c.h.e.s.ts contain some shiny jewelry made out of different kinds of gems. Also, there are gold coins and silver coins. It was very rewarding. It looks like that this place is the hideout of the goblins that raided the Green Leaf village and robbed other players. We decided to go back to Green Leaf village to sell and divide the loot.

We came out of the cave safely. The cave wasn't deep but it took us a while conquering it because of goblins lurking around inside.

*WOOOOOOOSH!* We heard a flying projectile on its way towards me! I completely avoided it easily. It was fast but the accuracy wasn't that high. The attacker purposely missed.

Just who the heck would attack us, though.

A guy behind the bush showed himself with other four of them. This ugly looking guy started talking. What the heck's with his teeth? He only has two teeth at the upper part.

"Hey, you guysh! We can shee that you jusht manage to finish the dungeon. We want you to give ush the lootsh and no one will get hurt!" Hahaha. He talks like a granny with his teeth like that. Even his comrades are laughing at him from behind.

"We don't want to fight, ok? And I know we're outnumbered but if you touch us we will defend ourselves and we are also friends with Handy if you know him," Nice going there Elou! Even saying the name of Handy who's a monster! Their facial expression also changed upon hearing the name Handy. Does that mean, saying his name did help?

"Damn, that baldy! He'sh the reashon why my character has only two teeth at the upper part! Shmashing that big hammer on my fache! I want justiche!" He's the one to talk, coming from someone who just shoots an arrow at others out of nowhere.

"Hey, boss maybe we should back out, for now, if Handy hears about this I'm pretty sure he'll get mad and I love my teeth you know," One of his goons said which is really in a panic right now.

"Grrrrr! Ok! Let'sh move out! If I shee you again I'll make shure you'll give me what I want!" He sounds angry but I'm pretty sure he's afraid of Handy.

-Greenleaf Village-

After all that trouble, we entered the Green Leaf village. You can still see the aftermath of the previous raid. I can still feel the intensity of the fight.

We found a shop that buys and sells stuff for coins.

"Hello, Mr. Shopkeeper! We have some stuff to sell. Are you interested?" Elou is energetic as usual even after that fight we've been through.

"Of course, you're always welcome my precious customers! You can call me Gario. Let me see your stuff," His eyes were sparkling, telling us that he will get tons of profits from us.

We showed him our stuff and because we don't know the actual prices of our loot, we let him do the checking. We did not stay for too long as it's our first dungeon hunt. We got a good amount of gold coins so as long we can buy stuff then there's no problem and divided it evenly.

"With this, I can buy some good equipment!" Elou pretty excited. It really shows how happy he is. We just changed gears but I'm sure with our money, we can really get better ones. I as well might get something good from it.

"Thank you for the honest business!" Gario said while we are leaving the shop.

Sunrise can be seen east of the village. It was beautiful.

"Hey Scy we will be waking up soon for breakfast and we're kinda busy but we'll be back after lunch. Will you be alright by yourself?" He still thinks about me before logging out. I can say he's really good-hearted.

"Yeah, I also need to prepare breakfast later so I think I should wake up soon too. Anyway, see you later guys!" The girls just wave their hands. I hope they can join in our conversation too later.

-Aries' Room-

I logged out from the game and decided to wake up. I woke up without any problems with my body. It's like my everyday sleep but with just a helmet thingy on my head.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth. Before my sis wakes up, I need to prepare our breakfast first.

I prepared ham and egg toast cups with hot chocolate.

"Marie it's time for breakfast. I'll wait for you downstairs!" I said while she's stretching out her arms and legs.

"I'll be right there, Bro, I'll just wash my face for a sec here," She said with deep morning voice.

*DING DONG* The sound of the doorbell echoed throughout our house. Since when did we get a doorbell? No one has ever visited us before... and who would visit us at this ungodly hour!
