4 Chapter 4: Quest Termination Paper
Panther were too fast that Guts gut almost cant take the speed and vomit .... [Omitted].
Too fast that a normal eye couldn't see their back but only a gusts of wind after he passes them.
The duo almost there when Guts found a big crater and destroyed trees everywhere and later saw 8 people ahead fighting a 5-meter 3-Headed Bear, 3-pair of arms, and 3-tails of a Lizard, he then remembered what Mei Ru asks about the bear he defeated, he is so curious that he wanted to watch the fight.
Unfortunately, he's in a rush that he had no choice but to past through them, but he creep out when he saw an 8 pair no, 11 pair of eyes are watching him during passing through them, like a wind, they are like a guts of wind but this people following us with their eye!? Guts though.
The 8 person along with the eye of 3-headed bear is looking at him like time stopped, fortunately they are being occupied by one another and let them passed by him.
==========
Guts now arrived in a hundred meter cliff watching his clan below, of course if one is only sight-seing or scouting, they dont see what Guts could, only but big trees, lake and other animals are what they saw below. Guts isnt seing them right now, but he is sure.
'thanks goodness, they're still safe' he thought.
There are saying 'theres always a thing that a naked eye couldn't see', every goblin on their clan was in-born with [Clan Perception], a 'Traits' exclusive to their clan, of course other species have their own, but that is story for later. Still, Guts didnt know that himself.
He then made Panther descend off the cliff, a minute later he found a group of 5-man Adventurer whose camping and readying their gear, according to their clothings, 2 Mages, 2 full body armored Knights and 1 Pugilist, whose equipped with 2 big gauntlets.
Of course, in this world, theres no such thing as 'Class change', its just that every Clothings, weapons and armors and skilled acquired had a different effects on their own, and your only main weapon symbolize your own class.
Guts narrowed his eye, then he recall the books from his mother that he read about Adventurers.
'an Adventurer must prioritized Survival: one is needed had a balance team, they consist of a 'Long Range', 'Melee' and 'Scout'.
"Mage is a Long Range style, check. Knight and Pugilist are Melee type, check. but a scout! tss" Guts advanced towards to the group and overtake them.
A minute later after he overtake while circling them, he first have to find their scout, again within another minute, he later found an archer but it also saw him too, an Archer is ready to nock its arrow to attack him, but he take out the paper given by GM Karma and shout
"I, in the name of Guild Master Karma, Adventurers Guild Master of Kerashval City, convey that your mission is 'Terminated' and in accordance to the Quest Termination Paper on my hand, please Retreat at once!"
The archer bewildered but he Immediately send a signal using his bow overhead and nock an arrow, after that a feint red smoke pop from the air and disperse after 5 to 8 seconds later. A signal to gather at one place.
.....
...
..
.
"I see, That was close" the Pugilist guy said after they meet Guts and received the Paper, theres additional 2 scouts which is obviously another archer who has bow and arrow, he is an elf. And another guys is a 'Phantom'.
(in this world, an assassins class are called 'phantom')
lets turn back to the topic
The Pugilist guys called himself 'Olf' a Level-3 Adventurer, he is the team leader for their raid as he's the highest level. he is a werewolf but because of his average but physique, Pugilist type is his forte.
'What a simple name' Guts thought.
"Guts ey! Im sure that this isn't counfeit or something, Karma-sama himself let you borrow his Panther, we almost raid your family, and.. We just received a Quest so no offese, but still, Im very sorry" Pugilist Olf nod to Guts while saying those words after he got the Termination Paper.
'sama?' Guts tilt his head
"By the way! its super rare for a Goblin to become an Adventurer, and you had a horn on top of that, so weird." Olf said.
Of course he's also surprise when a Goblin emerged from somewhere when they're going to raid a goblin settlement anytime.
"Hmmm, others asks that same question. I dont know, maybe its my father's bloodline" Guts said without a second thought.
"Hm! is your father a Unicorn?" Olf put his hand on his chin and asks.
"I, Dont know, I didnt see him even once" Guts said in a lowtone.
"okay? dont feel down will ya? we'll retreat now and pass this letter to our village Adventurers Guild and obtain our reward, this is also win-win for both of us, as I dont want to have any casualty from my party and the same time, you saved your family. Right?" he said while he hook Guts beck after he saw Guts expression. he then leave his fist midair in front of Guts after he let go of him.
Guts is empty face made Olf shamed and Laugh.
"thats the meaning of our token of appreciation and Gratitude, came from my Clan, just bump your fist here" he smile and instruct Guts how to do it.
'uhm' Guts only nod and they fistbump
"also, If you came from Kerashval to here Im sure you saw the 'battle' thats been occured on that area" Olaf pointed at north and asks Guts after their fist bump.
The two were talking for 10 minutes, other member of Olaf are Guarded from Guts at first, but just like any other Adventurer they later like Guts and asks him many questions and let them wanted be acquainted with his Clan, but after they heard a word that the clan banished Guts, they forget the idea.
Of course thats what according to his Elder, but her mother told him the truth before she die, don't hate our clan, instead protect it if you can but don't tie yourself to them like a knot, fly.. fly higher and aim higher like any adventurer' she said.
After awhile Olf party parted with him, Guts look back to where his clan and pondering, but a wind breeze past him and said.
"what do you want" while looking at half peeking silhouette from the tree.
"Im just curious, just pretend you didnt see me" the silhouette said.
"if you're an adventurer who had the same quest, you knew that the Quest Termination already handed to them" Guts said and rush forward.
"he isn't intimadated?" murmured by silhouette.
==========
The Same Time that Guts is rushing through Igarush.
Huff..Huff..Huff
The northern village near at Kerashval City, a group of another Adventurer was inside a Dungeon, the Territory full of Kobolds but now only one remain.
A breathing heavily of a lone Girl could be heard at the very end of the cave, standing opposite to her was an Injured and in a verge of Dying Kobold Lord whose twice her Size while her only ramaining weapon was a bloodily and almost Destroyed Gauntlet, she's the lone survivor and the lowest level of her team and a Pugilist, they are 5-man Team and majority are beginner Adventurers.
for the record, their team consist of, 1 Mage, 3 Pugilist with her counted, and 1 Archer.
At first, they'reap playing smoothly and steadily but during the boss fight for giving their all, their leader are first to Destroy, after he skillfully aim his arrow at Kobold Lords eye, it dashed through him and hammered his head for good, like that he went directly straight to Oblivion.
Their Leader really is unfortunate, he can dodge that Smash of the Kobold Lord but with his shitty luck, During his dodge, his right foot slid from the fist size rock and out of balance for seconds but that seconds killed him for good just like that.
The funny life of an Adventurer.
[A/N: Dumb ways to die version 1.0]
But then again in the end, they inflict all the damage they could to the Lord, but still not enough.
The Mage became meat paste whose attached to the wall, the other fighter's left shoulder is now hollowed because of sudden bite of Kobold Lord and die of blood loss, the second Pugilist's 2 arms were cracked its very bone, became useless and out of commission, he howled in pain and lose his consciousness later.
The remaining Girl whose eye is hollow and full of unwillingness to die, a resolve to Survive!
And the Kobold Lord is growling, standing with his four leg, his right ribs is broken to pieces that he can't even pounce her, his left eye was bloody with arrow attached in it, his brown fur are either burned or creeping with his own blood, his broken knee are trembling that it cant steel his stand. All in all, he is full of blood everywhere. still, he had long arm and claw, though his sharpest teeth is broken and his jaw is cracked open he can kill her just the stab of his claw but he cant, he cant even stand still, much less to run, slash or pounce her.
Im much stronger than her, then why?
I can kill her now that she is heavily breathing, but why?
The Kobold asks his inner self. Because he live his life being a Predator this whole time, is this is his first time that he is someones prey?
The girl who was standing opposite to Kobold Lord almost catching her breath. Watching him and ask herself 'How to deal in this kind of situation?'
They are in this stance for 3 whole minutes, her thought process is running and rampaging for slightest hope, she's unwilling to give up.
She can't kill him with normal plummet with her gauntlet. she needed a Sharp and unbending weapon that can pierce this Kobold heart, but where? 'This isn't the typical Anime that I always watched, Manga or Novel that I always read, But I'm the Main Character of my own story! think!' She thought, And something caught her attention.
Alas she saw her last hope.
....
...
..
.
After she Encircling twice the Kobold, She charged through head-on! She loot his Fang elsewhere without him knowing.
'FOOL!!' , 'DIE!!'
thought of Kobold Lord and The Girl at the same time.
The Kobold reach the longest, If he catch her first, he won, he wouldnt think that the foolish Girl will charged in front of him, of course he had a second plan if she charged from his back, still he missed the Timing and she Immediately entered his point blank, 'Oh f*ck!' he cry in his heart.
Only later did he know that his 'Fang' which is missing from his mouth will pierce his very heart and end him.
'did I really Reap what I Sow?' he thought, and his life flashes back from his past life to where his 'end a second time' is. He die a second time, the first time is from his own favourite Knife, now was at from his own Fang.
He didn't even knew that the very Girl who killed him now, was the same girl that killed him for the first time.
Yes, he's a Reincarnator, reincarnated and became a Kobold Lord, no one knew this story but only him alone.
