We reached the village but something was off.
There was no one? Suddenly we received a message.
[WARNING ARMY OF HOSTILE MONSTERS IN THE AREA]
Anders - "Army?"
Me - "How many monsters are here that it's considered an army?"
Mamadou - "But where are they?"
Anders - "True , we got a warning but I can't see or hear anything."
Just when Anders finished his sentence we heard screams. We ran to the area where it came from and we saw it. An Army of over 100 goblins raiding this village and killing people.
[ANOTHER 3 PLAYERS LOCATED IN THE AREA]
Chinami - "Three players , we have to help them."
Lisa - "We have to find them somehow."
We took our formation and started to search for the other players , but we ran into a pretty big problem.
We got surrounded by around 20 goblins , their forces were fortunately split up , if it were all 100 goblins it would have been over for us.
We changed our formation:
Mamadou
Me Lisa Chinami
Anders
We got on all four cardinal points: North , West , South, East. The reason being that we were getting attacked from all of them.
Lisa was in the middle of course as she is a support.
The problem is that Chinami isn't the type to face her enemies head on , so this could go wrong , but we don't have enough time to think of something else.
I told the others that I probably won't be able to help even though that's my role , they understood and we got ready for the fight.
The goblins thankfully didn't charge all at once , I was only focused on my fight. Three goblins charged at me , two of them had Wooden Club , one had Iron sword.
I quickly killed one of them with a quick swing, it couldn't react in time.
[Monster Slain]
Then the two others started launching consecutive attacks , and I was in big trouble. I quickly came up with a plan I threw one of my sword at one of the goblins , the entire point of it was just a diversion but I got lucky.
[CRITICAL STRIKE]
[Monster Slain]
The goblin got absolutely annihilated by my sword throw , the last goblin left was the one with the sword.
I used my Bait Attack and killed it with ease.
[Monster Slain]
[Received: Goblin Sword D-Grade]
I took the Goblin Sword out of my inventory and didn't even pick up my Iron Sword , I quickly ran to whoever looked like they were in the worst situation which was as I expected Anders.
I knew Chinami would be okay because Lisa would focus her support on Chinami and Mamadou is a really great fighter , I quickly ran to Anders's aid.
"Anders , fall back a little bit I am coming to help you."
"Alright , I am falling back."
Anders started going backwards so that I could reach him sooner , there were 6 goblins attacking him , but he managed to kill one of them. I got to Anders and the first thing I did was ask him something.
"Do you know how to use sword? It's definitely better in a situation like this than spear."
"I do , but can you fight with just a Dagger?"
"Yep , just give me your spear."
We traded weapons while fighting the goblins and I threw the spear at one of them and killed it.
[Monster Slain]
Meanwhile Anders killed one of the goblins too.
There were three goblins left , they all had an Iron Sword.
I ran to one of them , which was furthest from the other two , I thought that this was the best action to take... little did I know I made a huge mistake.
The other two goblins that were near Anders SPLIT UP and one of them started running towards Lisa.
Anders was too ocuppied by fighting one of the Goblins and so was I.
"LISA WATCH OUT!" - Anders screamed hoping that Lisa would react in time.
Lisa turned around and shot her arrow at the goblin but she ... missed. She quickly drew her F-Grade dagger that she received and then.
BANG!
Anders already killed the goblin he was fighting and didn't hesitate for a second and shot the goblin that was running for Lisa with his revolver.
I killed the goblin with iron sword and ran to help Mamadou with the last two goblins.
[Monster Slain]
We All ran towards Mamadou and quickly killed the other goblins. I killed one of them and then.
[Monster Slain]
[LEVEL UP]
[Level Up Reward OPEN]
I finally reached level 4.
Anders and I quickly ran to Lisa and apologised because we let one of the Goblins through.
Lisa - "Guys it's okay really , if I was stronger you wouldn't even had to protect me , so it's my fault , don't worry about it."
When She finished her sentence we received a message.
[PLAYER IN CLOSE AREA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED]
The moment after we received our message we heard a scream that wasn't too far away. We ran towards it and saw a brutal scene.
Around 30 Goblins surrounding the three players (one of them being dead) and 5 other people who looked similar to humans, I assume they are from this universe. The worst thing is that he looked young too , he couldn't be older than 13 and he already lost his life.
BANG!
Anders shot one of the goblins to draw their attention to us. Not sure if it was a good idea but it certainly worked.
We didn't think twice and all of us (besides Lisa who was supporting us with her bow) rushed to the front lines.
[Monster Slain]
[Monster Slain]
There was too much chaos.Three villagers (I assume they are) and one of the players were also fighting. This essentially meant that we had the goblins surrounded , just one problem.
There's about 30 goblins and just 9 of us. Although it was a pretty smooth sailing until one of the villagers got killed , and then another one.
[Monster Slain]
The number of goblins reduced by around half. But two more villagers got killed ( the ones that weren't fighting) there was only one villager left.
[Monster Slain]
[Monster Slain]
When our numbers evened out the goblins realized that they were getting outmatched and started running away. While they were running away Lisa got one of them with her bow.
When the goblins dissapeared I noticed that Chinami got hurt , she got stabbed by one of the goblins into her waist. I quickly ran to her.
"Chinami are you good?"
Meanwhile Anders and Mamadou were talking to the villagers and the other two players and Lisa was standing next to us.
Chinami sat down.
"Yeah I will be alright."
She was lying , she was bleeding pretty badly. Then I said.
"Raise your shirt , I will try to stop the bleeding and dissinfect the wound."
Chinami raised her shirt and I ripped a little bit of my shirt and held it against her wound. She was panting which makes sense , she is definitely in a lot of pain.
While I was holding the shirt against her wound out of nowhere Mamadou screamed.
"NOOO , DON'T DO IT!"
I had no idea what was going on because I was focused on Chinami and then...
[PLAYER IN CLOSE AREA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED]
Me Lisa and Chinami all looked at eachother in terror and then we looked at what was going on , one of the two players that were left alive was dead. There was a knife in her throat , but why? How?
It was a middle aged woman and that's when it clicked in my mind. The woman was not fighting when we were fighting the goblins , she was in a complete shock and just stood there without doing anything , also when we got the first death message the scream I heard was from a woman.
The boy that died was very young which means... that boy was her son and she couldn't keep on living knowing that she let him die in front of her eyes.
Or that's what I assumed.
"Majo I think the bleeding has stopped." Said Chinami
Me - "Lisa go to the others and ask what the hell happened."
Lisa nodded and ran to the others.
I removed the shirt from Chinami's wound and looked at it , the bleeding stopped.
"This is gonna sting."
I pulled out my medkit and grabbed my disinfectant.
"Do we really have to do this?" Chinami asked.
"Unfortunately we do."
She sighed and said.
"Let's get it over with."
I poured the disinfectant on her wound she started screaming. The others looked this way but Lisa explained what's happening and then the others calmed down.
Chinami was panting loudly. I calmed her down and started bandaging her wound. After I bandaged it she pulled her shirt back down.
"Thanks a lot Majo I hope I won't be too much dead weight before I heal."
"Don't worry about it , can you walk?"
"I'll try."
She stood up , she can walk but she's walking kinda clumsily. I offered help , she thanked me and put her arm around my shoulder , I put my arm around her waist and it was much easier for her to walk.
We came up to the others.
Me - "What happened?"
Anders - "That woman killed herself because she couldn't go on with her life after her son died , which is the young boy lying over there."
Anders pointed at the boy that I mentioned
earlier , this confirms my theory.
Mamadou - "Anyways are you okay Chinami?"
Chinami - "Yeah I got injured but Majo patched it up I will be good in no time." She said , but she wasn't looking too well.
The other player introduced himself. Above his head I could see [Fenhua The Goblin Killer]
That being said everyone in our party already has the Goblin Killer Title.
Fenhua - "Hello , my name is Fenhua Wang , I am from China and I am 24 years old , I work as an IT."
Pretty convetient that everyone whom I met knew english.
Me and Chinami introduced ourselves and after that I looked at the villager. She looked confused , I guess she doesn't understand english... but to my surprise I was wrong. Is this the work of that god?
"Who are you people?" She said with a scared voice.
"We are from Another universe." Said Mamadou calmly.
Anders looked at him and even though he didn't say a word I knew exactly what he wanted to say "Are you an idiot?"
Villager - "What?"
After this we explained to her what we are where we came from and what is our goal and yeah she didn't really believe us but whatever.
About her appearance - Blonde hair (the other villagers all had light hair color too) , skin color pretty similar to ours although a little bit with a pink contrast and light green pupils which had diamond shape.
I asked her who she is and what race is she and she responded.
"My name is Portabella , we are called Lemos , we are quite a big race , this village is part of Northern Kingdom the king of this kingdom is our race too, well he used to be, but I am sure you know that because that's common knowledge."
Little did she know that we are actually from different universe and this is complete news to us.
Anders - "Kingdom? Where is the capital?"
Portabella - "Far away from here , around 300 kilometres."
They also have the same metric system , this is too convenient.
Mamadou - "That's too far away , out of question for now."
Lisa - "Yeah."
I just remembered that I leveled up
Me - "Open Status."
Anders - "Did you level up too?"
Mamadou - "I think we all did."
We all oppened our statuses and started allocating our points.

I raised All of my abilities besides Intelligence by 1 , I don't see any reason to use my skill points for intelligence as it gives you mana and I have no use for mana right now.
"Close Status."
After allocating our skill points Portabella told us about the nearest city which is 30 kilometres away.
From what she said it's supposed to be quite a big city with a lot of guards and protection , it also has stone walls. It might be problematic for us to make our way through but Portabella told us that she will help us because we saved her life.
