Major Threat
"Incredible" Said Priestess praising the work of the high elf archer
"My accomplish was it magic you used?" Ask the Lizardman
"Its hard to tell the difference between mastered technique and magic." High Elf says smugly towards the Dwarf.
"You really needed to say that in front of me??" The Dwarf asks baffled that High Elf still had competitive attitude.
While the two were off conversing to each other Slayer walked over to one of the dead goblins and looked over to Anon gesturing him to come over to where he's at with Anon walking over. Once he was next to Slayer, Slayer pointed the other dead goblin and offered a knife to him, with Anon quickly picking up what he wanted him to do so he grabbed the knife and began getting ready.
"Hmmm? What are you two doing?" The High Elf asks curious.
"They are highly sensitive to smells, espically the scent of women, children and elves" as Anon was the first to get a heart and squeeze it to have blood soaked his around him as Anon turn to high elf with her retorting back in pure disgust.
"No way you keep that filth away from me!!" She said try to avoid being drenched in the filth of blood while placing her hands at Priestess who gave a deadpan smile a bit
"You get use to it.." She says as she knows this all to well.
With High Elf giving a concern smile that twitches as Anon continued to silently inch closer and closer towards her, and not long afterwards High Elf yelled out in the distance before giving a puking sound in defeat.
[Timeskip]
After a while of dressing themselves in the blood of Goblins wth little hassle in their mist they proceeded further to the cave with the light source of a torch and anons blue lights making way with Goblin Slayer with his sword silently tapping against the concrete walls, floor and ceiling as Anon was looking left and right with his plasma cutter to see if theirs anything try to appear out of nowhere
All while the others were walking close to them with Lizardman examining the walls that sport images on them.
"Hmm..I wonder..Is this a shrine?" The Lizardman ask out of curiousity.
"Apparently there was a war waged here during the age of gods. It might have been a fortress or something from long ago..regardless it all appears to be man made..." The Priestess says as she places a hand on the wall.
"After the soldiers had left the goblins soon claimed this place as their home. Such a cruel fate." Lizardman says pitying those who unfortunately lost they're lives.
"Speaking of cruel..." The Dwarf says glancing at the High Elf.
"Ughhh this is so disgusting!!" Said High elf griming in disgust as she was drenched in pure goblin blood with her fidgeting once in a while
"It does wash out with water.........sometimes " Priestess assuring her with The Dwarf chuckled at her demise
Before High Elf growling before getting up in Anons 'face' (helmet)
"I'm not gonna forget about this when we get back!" She said angrily before moving forward with some stomps on the way with Anon simply rolled his eyes underneath his helmet and a small sigh.
As they continued walking deeper into the cave there was a tense silence within the group. Anon knew this tense feeling as something was in the cave whether it was goblin or not that was the question.
"I'm use to being underground, but I can't shake the feeling that something wrong being down here." The Dwarf said as he wiped sweat off his forehead.
"It looks like a spiral." The High Elf says aloud.
"Perhaps it's like a tower." The Priestess points out.
"Stop." High Elf says.
And just like that everyone stopped in they're tracks with Anon pointing his plasma cutter to offer some light for the High Elf who was bending down examining what look to be a string attached to both sides of the wall.
"Thank you." High Elf thanks Anon with him just nodding.
"An alarm?" Slayer asks.
"I think so." High Elf says examining it.
"I only spotted it because the marks where new"
"Conniving monsters these ruins could be full of traps"
"That's strange...." Said Goblin Slayer with Priestess and Anon gave looked at him
"What's wrong?" Before goblin Slayer turn to them
"They are no totems....." with Dwarf shaman wondering that would mean
"That means there's no Goblin Shaman here..." answered the Priestess to whom she remember Slayer teaching her about it with High Elf perked up from hearing it to see it's a easy task
"Great this would be a lot easier without any spells flying around!"
"Actually it seems the absence of shamans is what concerns him." The Lizardman corrected High Elf.
"Correct. Ordinary goblins wouldn't be able to set up traps like this." Slayer says with Anon nodding to that statement.
"You're saying that they may have someone leading them?" The Dwarf asks Slayer.
"We should assume as much." Slayer says confident in his assumption.
"I have heard many tales of you bravely destroy large nest in the past sir Goblin Slayer what are your preferred methods?" Question the Lizardman
"There's a lot of methods; Smoking them out, crushing them individually, setting them on fire, drowning them in the river, those are just a few, however those methods won't work here." Slayer says.
"Are there tracks?" Ask the Slayer whom High elf is inspecting the trap
"It's hard to tell the rock floor is to smooth....." with her summing up her answer
"Let's see...." with Dwarf shaman kneel next to the floor whom he turn left and right before turning to the left direction
"Their hideout is in the left hallway..."
"How can you tell?" Ask Priestess
"The subtle wear on the stone floor it looks like they travel from the left side to the right and then back again or they hid their hideout from the entrance...."
Goblin Slayer then draws out his sword and points it towards the other direction with the others looking at him puzzled.
"What is it, Sir Goblin Slayer?" Lizardman asks curiously.
"Let's go this way." Slayer says.
"But aren't the goblins on the left?" High Elf asks confused.
"Yes...But it will be too late." Slayer says as walks forward with the others following his lead.
Anon knew that there must have been a reason for Slayer to take a detour and go right, Which it had to be two things One: A possible survivor. Two: Some worth equipment or items. As they got closer immediately Anon noticed the others covering their noses, thankfully Anon had his helmet on that helped cover his nose so whatever they were smelling must have been horrid.
"Breath through your nose you get use to it" before GoblinSlayer began to kick the wooden door with all his force which cause the door to fall off the hinges and fly to the farther side of the room as they see was bones, barrels of waste that flys roam around, some rocks piled on one another
With the others now stepping in as everyone except Goblin Slayer and Anon had their noses covered with Slayer lighting a bit of the room.
"Ugggh..What even is this place?" High Elf asks extremely disgusted to the point of almost wanting to puke again.
"The goblins waste heap." Slayer informs High Elf making her eyes widen.
"Waste?!" She asks believing she misheard him.
Chain rattled within the front room allowing the duo to raise their illuminated light to the source to reveal a elven woman all beaten, bruised, strip of clothing away from her as her hair is shadowing her presumably dead eyes which made the adventurers have an reaction with high elf puking in her mouth, Priestess gasp a bit in terror as Lizardman and dwarf gasp in surprised
"What in the name of the gods?!" He Said in a hush raised voice with horror brimming within it
As Lizardman the usual stoic and clam one only to be rivaled by GoblinSlayers
"Poor miserable soul...." He Said with a bit of sadness to it
Before fate answered as the woman moved a bit within her confinement as she muster the strength to speak despite the condition she is in
"Quick.......you.....have to..."
"She's still Alive!" Priestess shouted as she was felt a huge bit of relief before High elf shout
"Quick a miracle!"
"Right!" Before she could go she was halted by non other than Goblin Slayer blocking the path
"What is it?!" Ask the Priestess a bit hushed
"You.....must.....kill......" Said the hostage with Anon looking at Goblin Slayer as he gave Anon a nod signaling what he has to do
"Understood...." Said Slayer as Anon slowing raised his plasma cutter
With Priestess having vivid flashbacks of Anon giving Mage Girl a mercy death causing her to call out to Anon.
"W-wait A-anon! She's still-"
"No! STOP!!" The High Elf yells at Anon.
"Kill....This...Thing!!" The chained up elf yells.
After she had yelled that a goblin quickly came out of a hole with a dagger in hand ready to strike only for Anon to act quicker as he used the hilt part of his Plasma Cutter causing blood to gush out in several different directions with Anon now quickly aiming his weapon in front of the goblins face and firing at it killing the creature by splinting it in two. After that Anon then aimed his plasma cutter at the chained elf freeing her from her shackles.
"3.......are now what many of you guys was expecting after all we are only to slay Goblins....." Slayer Said
As Anon stared at the captured elf whom has the courage to speak
"Kill......them....all..every....last....one of them......" she breath out with voice of exhaustion with Anon nodding as Slayer speaking
"We will"
After a while they cloth the ragged elf as Lizardman took the time to summon his ancestors by first throwing a small row teeth on the stone ground
"O horns and claws of the father, Iguanodon, be four limbs and walk upon this earth with two legs"
Before it summon a bipedal lizard form of a skeleton kneeling
"A miracle from my ancestors....the dragontooth warrior" before the said warrior rise up staring at his creator
Before Priestess next to Lizardman has a letter in her hands
"Made this letter...it'll explain the situation...." which Lizardman nod before the Dragon tooth run as it picked up the letter and the injured elf bridal style
"Make haste" commanded the Lizardman as the warrior did as told and went faster.
"My conjured messenger will deliver the elf in the forest...."
With High Elf somewhat trying to keep herself together, but began sobbing a bit as she was keeping her tears from falling down.
"What the hell is going on?! I don't even understand..." She asks as she is shaking a bit.
Anon understands how she feels, had he not seen the horrors of what his world has then he probably would have the same reaction as them possibly worse, however he has grown use to gruesome sights like this especially with creatures when its comes to creatures like the necromorphs. Priestess walks over to her and begins rubbing her back to comfort her, while Slayer comes out of the room with something in his hand.
"Its here as, I thought." Slayer says.
"What is that in your hands?" Priestess asks.
"A map of the ruins. I managed to find it in a rucksack. The elves must have been using it." Slayer answers as he opens the map.
"There's a gallery on the left. It seems left was the correct path." Slayer responds as he begins looking through the map.
"You didn't believe me?" The Dwarf asks.
"I did ...but the more information we have the better..." with the dwarf who's arm are cross while looking the other way
"You take this ranger" with both women looked at the pouches with Slayer still looking forward and begins walking away from the two with Priestess calling out to Slayer.
"W-wait! You didn't have to say it like that!" Priestess shouts at Goblin Slayer a bit upset.
"Its fine...We have to get going right?" High Elf asks.
"Yes." Goblin Slayer responds.
After that the group continued with Anon picking up the bag and handing it High Elf who at first looked shocked, but then gave a genuine smile that didn't looked forced as she gently took it from him.
"Thanks. Come on don't want to get left behind." She says as Anon simply nodded and followed her.
After a while of searching through the map with Priestess as a navigator investigating through the ruins putting down goblins to whom are on guard duty which ended with whatever tool they have silently not raising any alarm for other goblins.
With Anon using his Kinesis and tossing objects consist of remnants of stone at the goblins piercing them through the head like at high velocity, effectively killing them but to be on the safe side he took the sharp object and stabbed the goblins in the head and in the throat, the last thing he would want is the goblins pulling some last minute stunt on them.
Meanwhile the High Elf got in position and aimed at a unsuspecting goblin who wasn't aware of her presences. Once she had a clear shot of her target she fired only that it misdirected and hit the goblin in the shoulder causing her to become shocked it was still moving, with the goblin now running with its arm now limping it was desperate to call for help however what it failed to realize is that Goblin Slayer was descending from a high area as he pinned and stabbed the goblin quickly killing it off with the High Elf now sighing in relief.
Now the group where huddled around the torch resting on a slab of stone for illumination of the dark fortress.
"How many spells do we have left?" Ask goblin slayer wanting to know a strategy of whatever's remaining
"I just used Heal, so that leaves two left." The Priestess answers Goblin Slayers question.
"I have about three. However the Dragontooth warrior requires catalysts. I can only use this spell once more." Lizardman shows everyone.
"As for myself...hmm I'd say about four or five left." The Dwarf says.
"I see." Slayer quickly responds.
Anon was checking through his ammo seeing how much items he has left and from what he's seen he has enough to last him as long as he uses it cautiously. Meanwhile Priestess walked over to High Elf with a canteen in hand.
"Would you like some?" Priestess offers High Elf.
"Thanks." High Elf says giving a bit of a bitter smile as she takes it and begins taking sips.
"Only a sip.....only a full belly will slow movement" Said the goblin slayer
"She needs something to drink..can you be a little mor-"
"No need to act tough if your up to this come if your not go back it's that simple" with Slayers common monotone voice with a slight bit of aggression to it.
"Don't be ridiculous I'm a ranger." She said with serious determination in her eyes
"Who's going to scout if I know the trap if I leave you?" Ask the High elf
"We'll just make do with what we have." Slayer says.
"Ugh, you're so...There's no way I can turn back now!! Not after what they did to that Elf! What's worse is my home isn't far from here either..."High Elf says in frustration and anger.
"...I see. Then let's go." Slayer says as he gets up and walks away from the group.
With High elf gritted her teeth a bit
"Keep your wits about long ears..." whom her mortal enemy the dwarf said in a hushed voice
"Stealth is our greatest ally!....besides goblins are our greatest foes as well.......we will make them pay for what they did to her.." he continue in much anger despite dwarfs and elf's aren't very good in terms of coexistence but both have a enemy in need of being dealt with.
The High Elf looked around to see Priestess, Lizardman, and even Anon who now just got up, with her sighing a little before giving a smile.
"I hate taking advice from Dwarfs but your right." High Elf says.
With the shaman made a silent yet hardy chuckle a bit as he got up
"It seems like Head is right back on your shoulders"
Before they set forward with the torch and small illuminated light coming from anon appear. As High Elf is the one leading them since of her profound knowledge of analyzing traps easily as the darkness of the room quickly turn to the sunrise of the man-made fortress which is exposed showing a site of goblins are sleeping soundly without a care in the world.
She continues to walk forward towards the edge and peers her head out a bit as her expression becomes shocked yet angered at the site before her.
"Well?" Goblin Slayer asks.
High Elf jumps as she regains her composure once more turning around to Goblin Slayer.
"It's just as it looks, there are quite a few down there." She answers.
"Not a problem...." with her look a bit surprised
"Sir Goblin slayer do you have a plan?" Ask the lizard man whom he see the goblins all laying there sleeping
"I do......" Said Goblin slayer whom took the time to think of a strategy
Goblin Slayer then starts explaining the plan towards everyone and what they should do with them understanding their roles and getting themselves ready.
[Timeskip]
After awhile night was upon them as the Dwarf being the first as he starts spitting out from his drink as he also begins chanting his spell.
"Drink and sing, spirits! Sing, dance, and sleep like a log! Show me dreams of fire wine!" He chants as he then takes a swig of his jug and spits into the air again.
Which within the sleeping goblins one of the woke up early and within the pit of goblins as it witness it all as it choked on the content as he looked to the other direction where Priestess is standing fearless as she raised her arms to chant
"Hear me o merciful Earthmother grant us the peace to accept all things and bless us with your solitude..." as a purple whitish around haze around the area
This cause the Goblin to lay asleep even the one whom the first to wake and was about to sound the alarm
With Slayer, Anon, High Elf, and Lizardman coming out of the shadows as they begin killing off the now unconscious goblins one by one with High Elf using her knife to stab the goblins in throat, while Goblin Slayer was using his short sword, Lizardman with his sickle, and Anon using his foot stomping the goblins head flat.
High-elf notice that her knife is unable to be in use any further due to being to slick from goblin fat and blood before she notice Goblin slayer tactics of stealing a weapon from these savage monster and soon she grabbed a knife from a slumbered goblin and began stabbing several times in silent fury.
As High Elf continued her eyes looked lifeless as blood was splattered on her face with her looking over to Goblin Slayer.
'Has...Has he been doing this all by himself?' she asked herself as she sees him stabbing a goblin only to then take its weapon once more.
She then turned her gaze towards Anon whom continue his relentless stomps to make sure the bastards down wake up.
'Especially him. The fact that he isn't even hesitating..it's almost like those two are the same.' She says.
After minutes of killing the goblins in their sleep it settled down as every Goblin lay dead around them as Priestess and Dwarf shaman came down the stairs. Which the 4 adventures analyzing the room to see if any danger that awaited them.
As Slayer silently pointed his sword at a large entrance with no illumination making it hard to see and before long large stomps that shook the ground around the party as smoke is coming out of the gapping dark entrance.
The party held their ground as they now are on guard awaiting what is about to come out from the other side. As large foot steps out of the entrance the mysterious creature soon reveals itself to the party with High Elf gasping in shock.
"An Ogre!" She says aloud for the group to hear.
Anon has to admit out of all the large goblin bastards he took out this one definitely was in competition with the other larger Necromorphs. Although he had to remain on the defensive he couldn't just rush in spraying and praying especially since this ogre look like it had some form of intelligence.
"I was beginning to wonder why the goblins were quiet. They can't even make good foot soldiers." The Ogre said with disappointment.
Before he began ranting on some more "You people are more prepared than that elf from before but your wrong if you think that you can set foot in my fortress and live"
"Oh......so your not a Goblin?" Ask slayer seemingly a bit disappointment in his voice with high elf retorted back at the answer
"Are you being serious? He's an ogre you heard of them!!"
"No" Slayer responded showing no intelligence on an enemy he never heard or see from before which anon couldn't blame him since slayer seem to fight goblins as it compare to him fighting THEM and nothing else.
The ogre simply grunted as he looked at Slayer livid at his dry response mistaking it as an insult.
"You. Are you mocking me, the one who granted this army by one of the Demon Lord's generals?" The Ogre ask with its anger rising higher and higher as its eyes where bloodshot red in anger.
"I knew there were powerful beings, but I never heard of you or this Demon Lord generals." Goblin Slayer says as he awaiting what the Ogre will do.
Anon nods as he somewhat understands and falls into the line of thinking. No matter what the creature is big or small, fast or slow, by itself or in a group if it poses a threat to Anon he will fight no matter what, so this situation isn't anything different to him as he points and aims his weapon at the ogre.
The ogre gives a mighty roar as he quick and slams his weapon down with Anon and Slayer with lizard-man and dwarf stood their ground meanwhile High Elf holds on to Priestess to make sure she doesn't lose her balance as she is holding on to her hat and has her eyes closed.
"I'll show you my power so that you may die knowing it!!" As The ogre opened his free arm as it form a fire within the palm
"Carbunculus... Crescunt..." with those words the fire grew larger and large than ever
"He's casting a Fireball!!" Screamed the dwarf shaman in panic while everyone else begins cover behind her for protection.
"O merciful Earth Mother, please protect us the weak, with the powers of the earth..." She begins.
"Iacta!"
The Ogre says as it chucks the huge fireball towards the group.
"Protection!"
She shouts as a holy field quickly surrounds the group and now blocking the fireball in just the nick of time too.
The Priestess flinches a little due to how powerful the fireball is though with her strong will and determination she regains herself and stands her ground. The others look with worry as they start noticing the protection barrier beginning to crack with the Priestess reciting one of her spells again.
"O..merciful Earth Mother,..please protect us the weak, with the power of earth...Protection!!" She chants once more reinforcing her protection field even surprising the Ogre to a certain degree
Which luckily stopped the flaming ball of death from ever happening once more as silence emitted before a quiver coming from Priestess whom she was shaking before she fell from the mass exhaustion of the spell she used on a fire powerful enemy luckily GoblinSlayer caught her before she land on the stone cold floor of the fortress
"You saved us" Said the slayer with anon nodded at the answer since it takes a lot of courage and power to protect from something very dangerous luckily Priestess looked at slayer with the physical energy reserved.
With High Elf stepping forward as she had her bow out and ready for the Ogre telling the Priestess to leave the rest up to them as Anon joined High Elf and got his plasma cutter ready as he aimed it at thee Ogre.
"You foolish man as if your puny weapon will do any harm to me, and you little girl..don't think you'll have it easy as that elf did!" He yells as at the two.
"Create a dragoontooth warrior there aren't a enough of us." Slayer says.
"As you wish sir Goblin Slayer." Lizardman responds.
He did his chant more once with another warrior but it came with an additional for the arsenal wth the other tooth
"Oh sickle wings of the velociraptor!" Before it conjured a weapon for the warrior to use in battle
"Slice fly & haught!" Whom lizardman got ready
"I need backup!" Said the lizardman whom charge headline
"You got it!" As the dwarf began to do his spell
"Time to work, you gnomes! Roll grains of sand together, and it shall become rock!" The Dwarf says as he scatters some stones in the air.
"You measly little dwarf!" The Ogre yells as was charging at the Dwarf.
Though the Ogres efforts were halted as its eye was quickly pierced by an arrow causing the creature to stumble back as began holding his now new fresh wound, meanwhile the High Elf was circling past the Ogre yelling at the Dwarf.
"You damn dwarfs are way to slow!!" She yells at the dwarf with her tone saying hurry your slow ass up type of tone.
"You can't rush these things long ears! We got our own way of fighting!" He yells back at High Elf.
After a few seconds have passed the spell had finished with the stones now getting closer for the Dwarf to use as he got in a pose.
"Stone Blast!"
He yells as he sends his stones at the Ogre.
The stones began hitting the Ogre causing it to skid back from the force only for it to growl a bit before staring at the Dwarf straight in the eye.
"Do you really think you could defeat me?! With that pathetic stone trick of yours?" The Ogre asks.
Before the Ogre could even do or say anything else it was immediately interrupted by being hit once again causing him to turn around to see that it came from Anon. The Ogre immediately noticed Anon's overall appearance was completely different from the rest and his weapon was nothing he has seen during his life, this in turn cause the Ogre to now focus his sights on Anon.
"You..everything about you is not normal even for a creature like me...for now you have my attention lets see how long it LASTS!" The Ogre says as he reels his fist back.
Before Anon knew it the Ogre was sending his fist straight towards Anon, with Anon managing to a get a shot in before dodge rolling out of the way, though due to the force this sent Anon back, thankfully he managed to regain his footing as fired a few more shots at the Ogre before moving around just to make it harder for the Ogre to hit him. Though Anon was thankful he dodged in time other wise he would have been a splattered art piece by now.
Every blast of his Cutter inflected on the ogre didn't do anything to the ogre as he notice the wounds closing as the ogre boasted once more
"Foolish Mere Human that weapon of yours is pun-"
Before he was interrupted by the Lizardman & his summoned miracle armed with their respective weapon which the ogre manage to block it with its large club.
"Now Sir Goblin Slayer!" Before the answer call for Slayer to attack as he gave a long slash with his signature short sword.
However Goblin Slayer's attack proved futile as the cut quickly healed itself causing the Ogre to turn towards Slayer with the beast tightening his grip on his weapon.
"You Impudent fool!!" The Ogre says as he uses his weapon to smack away Goblin Slayer.
With Slayer being smacked away like he was nothing more than a worthless pest, he was quickly slammed into a wall with him even groaning as he begins to slide down and fall on his back.
"Orgblog!"
"Goblin Slayer!!"
Both the Priestess and High Elf yell for him with even Anon turning to see Slayer now laying on the ground like a slug almost having a hard time telling if he's even breathing, its even harder to tell due to where he's at. As much as Anon wanted to rush towards Slayer to help treat him he knew the Ogre would prevent him to get to him.
"Don't mistake me for a mere goblin! You shall pay for this humiliation!!" Ogre says he takes the arrow out of his eye with his wound healing immediately as his once injured eye now opens unharmed.
Before the ogre raised his club high and mighty
"First I shall break each of your limbs than I make sport of the females in front of you!!"
Before the Ogre could strike Anon used his pulse rifle that had a under barrel grenade launcher, as he fired it hit the ogre from the back of its head causing it to stagger as it had to use one of the platforms to lean on as it groaned in pain as it turned back around to see that it was Anon who fired. While the ogre was distracted the dragon tooth warrior manage to scoop Goblin Slayer into its hand and quickly bring the unconscious and injured warrior to Priestess as she kneels to check on how serious his injuries are. Meanwhile Anon was still firing at the ogre while he was still trying to recover from the blast while Lizardman charged in at the ogre while yelling towards the Priestess.
"We're counting on you Lady Priestess!" Lizardman says as he begins slashing at the ogres leg.
Which of course did a chunk on the leg as the Ogre reported on stage as he began flailing its club at lizardman while Anon stopped firing when he notice he's half way out of his 3 reserves of ammo as he click in annoyance and a bit of frustration. He decided to swap the weapon with his Line Gun.
"Hurry up with another spell dwarf!!" Said High Elf archer loading another arrow
" I'm working on it!" Retorted the dwarf as the elf archer circle around the fortress proving covering fire to her party as the arrow lodged into the ogres shoulder which didn't phase him one bit before he slam his club down against the stone platform where high elf was using she stumbled and began falling as she was about to land on her feet on the ground before she was coated in a strange blue light of some sort somehow slowing her down completely
The ogre took the opportunity planning to smash her to bits and before he could do that Anon reacted fast and fired a awaited blade from his line gun which aimed the Ogres fingers and fired.
The Ogre screams in pain as he drops his club as he holds his hand tightening his grip just to help relieve the pain while he was focused on letting his fingers heal meanwhile High Elf manage to get away from the Ogre and put distance between herself and the towering creature, all while the Dwarf and Lizardman took the initiative to strike at the Ogre while his guard was down for just a moment with Lizardman slicing at the Ogre, while the Dwarf kept continuously casting Stone Blast when the moment was right, while Anon kept his distance and fired at the Ogre as well. Until the Ogre decided to retaliate by using his uninjured hand and attempted to sweep away Lizardman and Anon with the barely escaping the beasts attempts of attacks. With Lizardman managing leap away from any further attacks, while Anon rolled at the right time avoiding a few of the destroyed structures that were also smacked by Ogre's swings.
With Ogre now regenerating his fingers he now flexed his fingers a bit before focusing his attention on to Anon as he now picked up his weapon again. High Elf fired a few arrows at Ogre only for him to not react as a few bounce off his body.
"YOU. I only had a few injure me to this degree. For managing to injure me this much I will make sure your death is quick!" The Ogre says as he points at Anon and begins walking towards Anon.
As the Ogre continue to move forward as Anon was about to fire his Line Gun but was too late as the Ogre reacted quickly and soon slam back his club down which Anon manage to dodge swiftly but didn't reacted when The Ogre do the second sweep of its weapon which sent Anon flying near one of the walls which the force was so much as the impact shattered the walls a bit
"ANON" High Elf screamed as she fired a few arrows at the Ogre as retaliation.
"Foolishness absolute foolishness now this place shall become your grave." Ogre says as he looks down on Anon.
"Not if we have anything to say about it. Stone Blast!" The Dwarf chants as he sends his spell at Ogre causing to raise his hand up blocking the blast.
Anon was on the ground with his vision being blurred only seeing a flashing lighting continuously going off, what didn't help was that his hearing was barely audible causing him to shake his head slightly to help try and regain his focus, and thankfully it was as his hearing recovered more as the seconds passed with Anon slowly getting up from the ground his arms shaking quite a bit with him almost tempted to just fall back down not wanting to move. But he couldn't allow that to happen and he'll be damned if he dies here and now otherwise his second chance would be all for nothing. He soon got up to at least stand on one knee as his vision soon started to return as well with him seeing that his monitors were notifying him that he is in some pretty bad shape.
As he began to hear stomps to see the Ogre giving a full blown sprint as he was preparing to slam his club down on the floor wanting to squish Anon which with some once of strength Anon do a painful barrel-roll once more which he was once again lucky of not dealing being crushed to death and with the experience he dealt with he duck down against the second attack which was a swipe. As Anon didn't notice of the ogre preparing to give a stomp on him wanting to crush him.
Anon eyes widen as he saw something over shadowing him, as he looked up he saw the Ogre ready to stomp down on him like he was a random bug and for once he somewhat knew what it felt like for the bugs.
Before he knew it the Ogre's foot was so close he almost felt like death was so close to claiming his life, as he wasted no time as he used his Stasis to slow down the Ogre's stomp shocking the Ogre at what just happened as he used this opportunity to limp away with High Elf rushing towards him, immediately placing his arm around her to help carry him over to the others.
The Ogre roared in rage as the Stasis ended with his foot finally slamming the ground causing High Elf and Anon to trip and stumble onto their knees, as he turned around he was about to speak only to be interrupted by several stones hitting his face thus causing him to step back a bit as one of the stones managed to pierce his eye causing him to furious roar causing the underground to shake a bit.
The two manage to get back up on their feet and successfully make it back to the group.
"Sir Anon are your injuries severe?" Lizardman asks.Anon raised his hand open shakes it from side to side.
If he was being honest the pain he felt was torture if it wasn't for the suit's more sturdier designed armor then he probably would be dead by now.
He then lifts his arm off of High Elf with her being cautious just in case she had to catch him again, but once she saw he could stand she stepped back.
He only gave a nod towards the group. Soon he began to unleash a vial of his medpak gel from his inventory stab himself a large dose of it.
With the group except Slayer and Priestess giving shocked looks only for his RIG to rise back up as its color began shining bright blue as he removes the vial and stores it away as he now moves around and stretches his muscles now ready to fight again now that he was healed up, if there was one thing Anon was extremely grateful for, it was that his worlds modern medicine was extremely advanced to take care of any injuries even the most serious ones (minus severed body parts of course) , but he shook his thoughts as he knew he could be grateful some other time. Right now he had a enemy in front of him to kill as he turn and faced the Ogre.
"Hey..are you alright to be moving around like that?" High Elf ask still unsure of Anon's condition.
"He'll be fine. That thing on his back is a indicator on his health.." Slayer says with Anon nodding basically confirming Slayer's words.
As Anon was about to be ready for battle till he was stopped by Goblin slayer whom got out a his satchel whom Anon could see a small parchment and raise his arm to not intervene in combat.
"Hold on. I have a plan..." Slayer says as he continues to walk forward.Anon looked at Slayer for a few seconds before nodding and stepping back out of all the time he spent with Goblin Slayer the ideas and plans he created have always lead to successful results.
Though considering the enemy that stands before them he would be lying if he said he wasn't concerned for his comrades safety.
"Try and stall him the best way you could and slow him down long enough so I can use this......" Slayer mention his bag containing the scroll mention as Anon nodded since he had fate in Slayer who's plans always be suicidal yet very effective.
"All right then Beard-cutter. I'm putting my faith in you." The Dwarf says.
"Things will become difficult if we don't finish things now." The Lizardman says as he raises his weapons up armed and ready.
Anon nodded as he reloaded his weapon as he looked at the Ogre straight in the eyes ready to finish this once and for all.
"I can tell your ready to end this. Make sure not to slip up Anon." High Elf tells him with Anon nodding to her warning.
Anon charge head on to the ogre to whom slam his club down which anon barrel rolled out the way while he activated his the Pulse rifle grenade launcher which exploded in the ogres face.
With it being somewhat effective as the Ogre groaned in pain, but what made it worse for the Ogre is that the smoke was blinding the beast's vision giving Lizardman the chance to charge at the Ogre and slash at him a few times before taking a huge step back and dodging a few swings from Ogre with Anon rolling out of the way as well.
The Dwarf was getting his spell ready, and once Ogre cleared the smoke from his face the Dwarf casts his spell sending rocks straight at the Ogre causing it to hit him a bit causing the Ogre to raise his hand up blocking the last bits of stone meanwhile, the High Elf got in a perfect spot and aimed her arrow and fired straight at the Ogre's cheek with it being pierced causing the Ogre to roar in both rage and pain.
As the ogre "ENOUGH!!!!" Scream as he slam its mighty foot on the ground causing it to shake with all his might This caused Anon to stumble a bit before falling on to one knee as he was about to stand he noticed Goblin Slayer walking right towards Ogre with even Ogre focusing his attention on Slayer.
"...I see it's no wonder you all are on the offense. That girl has ran out of her miracle spells. However all your efforts are futile..Carbunculus...Crescunt..."
As the Ogre uttered those last two words a huge ball of fire emerged from his hand.The Priestess looked shocked and tried to stand once more only to fall on her knees.
Anon was now also began to stand wondering what's about to happen next?
"Fear not. If she manages to survive I'll let her live. She can be used as either food or a plaything. After all I need more goblins for my army." Ogre says.
Everyone from Anon to the Dwarf now gave an extra push to retaliate towards the Ogre with him blocking most of the shots either that or now ignoring his injuries.Anon notice his pulse rifle is almost down before he switch to his common Plasma Cutter and move forward to suppress the Ogre.
As the Ogre was getting very angry "THIS FIRE BALL SHALL BE YOUR MOST FATAL GRAVE!!!!!" Scream the ogre who is pissed off due to anons doing the most damage done to him
Anon noticed what Goblin Slayer was trying to do as he quickly moved out of the way as the scroll began to almost brighten up the whole room. As Anon managed to move out of the way he turned and saw the fireball scatter into nothing, but what shocked Anon was that the Ogre's fingers started to come of piece by piece before his arm and then eventually he was cut into two. Before the light disappeared and soon it reveal the remains of the ogre to whom stood there completely dumbfounded in shock as he was alive enough to cough up major blood out of its mouth as Anon and the others notice the ground was a bit flooded by water.
With Slayer now walking over towards the extremely injured Ogre who was already struggling to even lift his head up, he was now trying to speak.
"W-What...What did you do?" The Ogre asks.
"This is a gate scroll. I linked it to the bottom of the sea." Goblin Slayer says as he shows the Ogre the burning scroll with the others looking shocked.
"The bottom of the sea? So that means that was seawater?" High Elf asks.
The others began explaining the effects of the scroll and how it is normally used to save an adventurers life but instead Goblin Slayer used it to his advantage in battle.
"The water of that depth was under incredible pressure it had been unleashed swiftly like a blade" concluded the Lizardman "to think he used a transfer scroll as a weapon"
"Such Magic allows you to escape and save adventurers in peril but certainly not as a form of an attack like that!" Said the Dwarf to whom was completely baffled him
Preitess was shock as she began to remember the witch back the guild mention that goblin slayer has made a small favor which is that scroll all along.
Even this shocked Anon, Goblin Slayer is the literal definition of a battle master at least to Anon. He now sees Goblin Slayer is standing above Ogre with the Ogre now struggling to talk.
"I was going to use the scroll to destroy the nest but this will do." Slayer says as he looks down at Ogre.
"Now than what were you called again? Not that it matters"
"You would use that to kill mere goblins?" The Ogre was going to continue to speak only to be interrupted by Slayer stepping on his face.
"Goblins...Are more troublesome than you." Slayer says as he pierces Ogre's face and begins slicing down causing the Ogre to scream in pain.
The Ogre Goblin slayers first enemy that is not that of a goblin. Slain with the enduring might of teamwork
[Timeskip]
Morning was upon them
"You have our gratitude, we received your later and the girl as soon as we are able to" Said two elven men to whom have two carriages with one of them being transport.
"How many more goblins that are left inside at this point?" Ask the elf who continued on
Instead of answering them the party walked without saying a word with their heads down with motionless sunken looks with goblin slayer and anon are unreadable due to their signature helmet blocking it.
Which draw confusing to the male elf expecting an answer from them.
The party were on the carriage meant to travel them back to the town
With the other male elf coming to talk to the others before setting them off.
"Well, anyway we're going to go an scout inside. Please rest until you get to the town." The male elf says as he now closes the curtains.
Afterwards the carriage began to move with everyone having looks of exhaustion written all over their face almost as if they just now crawled out of the depths of hell itself. Everyone was resting except Anon as he was just tired, but not to the point that he would fallout immediately he decided to go through his inventory and checked his ammo. He used so much he was genuinely surprised he still had any ammo left, but he knew he could worry about that later.
Anon sigh as he slump on his carriage as he stare at the party once more as he stare at GoblinSlayer slump at the end which the body lanaguage signal massive exhaustion as the whole ordeal took a lot out of him
Slayer looked a lot worse than the others especially with how beaten his armor looks thankfully his scanners notified him that Slayer is fine just unconscious at the moment and Anon couldn't blame him he is tired as well but he can rest when he gets back to his room. He decided to just stare at the ceil until they got back though that didn't last long as he heard High Elf calling out to Priestess.
"Hey..Do they always do these types of missions?" High Elf asks Priestess.
"Yes that's just who they are....I think....." with priestess having little doubts about the ordeal
"But despite how rash and ruthless they may be....they are aware of themselves and how risky their actions are....."
"They were more than willing to assist me and help me with many things when it came to being an adventurer. Even though I probably didn't deserve it." Priestess says as she examines both Slayer and then checks Anon smiling as she sees nothing is wrong.
"I see.." High Elf says as she looks over to Dwarf and Lizardman both unconscious with the dwarf snoring loudly and the Lizardman whom crossed his arms together and head down signaling he is sleeping .
"I guess we should get some sleep as well.." High Elf says as she feels fatigue slowly catching up to her.
"Yes." Priestess nods and agrees silently.
Soon High Elf slowly laid her head down and as she shuts her eyes and thinks to herself about the events that transpired throughout this adventure. The memories of her moments between her and Anon a few times and a lot of other moments with her and Orcblog having their fair share of disagreements which annoyed her a bit.
"Yeah I still don't like em even if they did save us from that ogre.....I thought adventurers would be fun there's joy in experience the unknown and discovering new wonders.......we should feel happy or accomplished, proud for what we done but that's not what I'm feeling in the slightest......" she spoke having major doubts within herself as she felt expectations crushed first hand at the reality and how brutal it is to be an adventurer. As High elf looked back at the two sleeping armored individuals
"Someday I'll take them on an actually adventure...." with a promise she's planning to have for them seeing them prone to hunting goblins solely she'll let them experience new things than goblins.
As the carriage was quite a bumpy ride for them to return to civilization all learn from one another after one adventure.
Chapter end
Sorry if I hadn't updated any of my books due to my life outside of things anyway I'm doing good as promised writing snippets
The next chapter will be about managing his ammo since most are wondering how he is able to reproduce them due to how far behind the world of Goblin slayer Is.
Anywho here are the very deaths are the hands of the ogre.
Ogre [1]
"lets see how long it LASTS!" The Ogre says as he reels his fist back.
Before Anon knew it the Ogre was sending his fist straight towards Anon with anon forgetting to dodge in the nick of time which cause anon to fly as he felt the force of the blow head on which the armor didn't help him all at all as he felt his bones on his body break by the immense pressure of the ogre might.
Which cause the force to make him exploded into a million of bloody chunks severed from limbs, head and even the torso to severed from the force which ended in a violent bloody mist which cause the party to scream at Anon name as Shaman puked out his lunch, shaman looked away from the mess Goblin slayer clenched his sword, priestess and high elf screen eyes widened full of sorrow, feelings of sickness from how violent anon went as the Ogre roared mighty as he clutched his club. And thus the end of the anon the adventurer
Ogre [2]
The ogre foot stand above him which cause anon to be standing their frozen for a bit Anon now tried to use his Stasis however at the worst time as before he knew it he only saw the Ogre's foot before only seeing darkness as he was stomped down quickly killed as the not only the weight of Ogre's foot killing him but now his bones breaking that some parts are stabbing his organs while other parts of his bones are sticking out. Thankfully the other couldn't see as Ogre created a bit of a hole. The others could do only one thing now avenge the fallen and as they tell themsleves that as Anon's RIG soon then gave a loud ring now notifying he is dead.
Ogre [3]
Anon noticed what Goblin Slayer was trying to do as he try to move out of the way but failed to react quicker at all.
And before he knew it he went into shock not even realizing that he began floating in the air as his lower half of his body departs from his upper one followed by his left arm departed as well, only to soon land on the ground with blood soon splattered everywhere. Soon afterwards everyone was shocked even Slayer who didn't expect things to turn out so horribly for Anon. Anon who happens to turn his head to see Ogre was affected as well causing him to give once last chuckle that at least the beast was killed before giving out with the RIG signaling his death.
Thanks for being fans of the fanfic it means a lot to me.
