12 Ch12 Magical Advantage?
Over the next 2 days I work, I sat, and planned out the magic I felt I needed to compete in close combat and at a distance. When I said create everything I meant everything I needed to keep me alive. With careful planning I came up with Ice Needle: an extremely sharp and dense ice that can penetrate flesh, bone and many armor types without breaking, on my breastplate I enchanted it with a barrier that absorbs and displaces shock and blunt force. This is a start but as I obtain gear in the future we will see how far I can stretch my imagination and abilities.

Toray Sewers: Goblins Nest…
Huuuuaah, running at full speed one after another lopping the heads off of countless goblins. The new wind covered blade on my short sword makes quick work of the goblins. There is a big difference in my ability now since the first time I fought the two goblins in the mini dungeon. No more sneaking just a blood bath I push forward with haste. Ice needles fly at the goblin archers, the ice flies at arrow like speeds and bisects the vital areas, icy blood crystals explode on the wall to their backs. As a a crowd approaches 'wind blade' goblins crumple and entrails spill. The quest was to clear the city sewers. It's been 15 mins of non stop slaying. There has been a couple of Demon rats mixed in. Hopefully the crowds don't get any bigger if that where to be the case I might get overwhelmed.
With the east side apparently clear let's go west. At steady pace I push to the west and consume a stamina tonic, stamina is the one stat that's currently holding me back. Once recovered my pace quickened I reach a narrow entrance and enter with caution. It's a horrid smell one of blood, feces, and rotten meat. This has to be where the horde brings its prey. The goblins come out at night in droves and taking small animals, weak men, women, and even children. They rape and eat everything, disgusting creatures. After a few minutes I see a large group looking around as of on guard and searching. They seem to be aware something happened. Without hesitation 'ice needle' as fast as I could one needle after another flies from my hand, in a group like that I was piercing multiple goblins at once. A mist of blood filled the room. Goblins ran in circles not knowing what was happening the number is small enough now with quick step used in succession, I close in. Brutal attacks are administered by my sword, body parts flying blood covering the floor in buckets. In the blink of an eye, BAM! I'm sent flying *crack* the wall gives a little and I definitely broke some ribs. Dazed I look I had flown about 10 feet into a wall. The culprit a giant Hobgoblin level 11. Before I was so caught up in the moment I failed to notice the giant creeping out of the shadows. Was it a trap? With a club that was half a small tree he sent me away. Luckily I hadn't died, the breast plate nullified the blow but the sheer force of it and the sudden stop of the wall my body crumpled between my armor and itself. My HP is little under halfway, and my MP and Stamina are slightly lower. The danger is real. We have this giant and about 20 goblins in my way of the exit and he's clearly somewhat intelligent. He pursues, I roll into the disgusting murky sewer filth and push to the other side and up on the other side. I release an immediate wind blade, two goblins fall but only a slight gash on the the big one. "Ahhhh" more pain sets in I feel the source and look down an arrow has land in my quadriceps. My motion is hampered I can't put much weight on that leg. Did I over value my skills. NO! NO! NO! FUCK ALL OF YOU! ' Void' I force half of my mana in, a raging force is pulling on me and an ominous black cloud the size of vehicle is there. BIGGER! I force in more mana I can feel weakness plaguing me. 'Release'
2hrs later…
My eyes open and I gasp for breath. I'm exhausted but what happened? Looking I can guess, low on stamina, low on MP, bleeding maybe both inside and HP is at an 1/8 of a bar. Pure exhaustion! I look around I'm still in the sewer, the last thing I remember was releasing a huge void. Then light hit my eyes I could see the sky, but I'm in the sewer? Scanning and grasping the situation it dawns on me. The void had made a huge crater in the sewer, a huge chunk of earth was gone from the wall, and in the street there was a gaping 30' hole in the middle of town. People were staring in and yelling if I was ok. There voices could reach me finally. I hope no one innocent was caught up in that mess. Did I over do it? With the little strength I could manage I stumbled to my feet and walked from towards the entrance. It took 20 mins to make a 5 min journey. On the way I drank an MP, stamina, and health tonic but they only did so much. The arrow was still in there but removing it in a sewer was a poor choice I decided. Once on the surface I slowly strolled to the guild. In front of the guild I dropped to my knees and pulled my armor off with my shirt. Bruises were all over my sides and chest and confirmed my suspicions, I have several broken ribs and most likely I have a punctured lung. With every breath there is wheezing, gurgling, and immense pain. Taking my sword I make a slit and rip my left pant leg off. I pullout the arrow and scream in extreme pain. Another HP tonic is partially poured on the wound and I again drink the other half. My consciousness fades again. Am I dying again?
5 days later…
My eyes peel open. I look at my surroundings and I seem to be in my room. How? I sit up just a bit and scan the room. At the foot of the bed I see long faintly pink hair, almost white or is it the light? I can't see a face but a head is resting on the bed, all I see is the hair and a long pointy ear. An elf?
"Excuse me? Hello?"
"Mmmmmhmmm, Ma… Master Moss? You're awake. That's nice there was concern whether you would wake up at all. Your body was it terrible shape. Seems your we're drained of magic and your health, you ingested some terrible things in the sewers is what the Dr said plus you were poisoned and had blood in your lungs." " You are lucky to be alive"
OMG! It's an elf, perfect white skin, shimmering pink and white hair. Eyes of the color of a Caribbean ocean, petite, with subtle beautiful curves… Perfection!
"Who are you?"
"Forgive me, I am Maiele Kharis. I am an elf from the Dior Forest. I work in Toray as a healer and Dr's assistant."
"How do you know who I am?"
She taps her left hand and points to mine.
"I see the guild circle."
She nods.
" I was headed home when I heard the commotion in front of the guild and saw you collapsed."
"The guild host called for help, saying this man is hurt he solo'd the city sewers!"
"With that info I ran got the Dr and we started your care. You see!"
She starts crying…
"My sister was a victim to those monsters. Anyone who destroyed that nest has my gratitude."
She walks to me and grabs my hands, looking in my eyes with hers full of tears and says
"Thank you" she then buries her head into my chest.
"It's ok I'm glad to help but you saved my life so don't cry, you're also my hero."
A blush and tears cover her cheeks.
" I must return home it's late, however I know your awake now but can I visit tomorrow?"
"Definitely" a full smile on my face
" okay, see you tomorrow. Eat and drink something then rest a little more. Drink this tonic tonight as well. It's a full spectrum healing and recovery potion. It should finish off your recovery."
"I will, thank you!"
She exits my room

Looks like I picked up some money and a few decent items in the sewers there. Plus that tough body perk is amazing, guess getting your ass kicked has benefits.
