Chapter 5

During our walk towards the city, we stayed silent most of the time apart from when he asked me my name.

" What's your name kid?"

" Kid?"

" From my point of view unless you are at least 40 you are just a kid."

" Understandable, my is Phalanx."

" Surely a strange name."

" I think it's cool."

" You do you kid."

Without much else to do, we continued walking my stamina was easily able to keep up with Geralt's thanks to my absurd stamina regen and reduced stamina consumption.

After a good half of a day we finally reached the city, and unlike the village, this was a fucking massive city, with walls made of stone with a thickness of at least 30 cm, guards at every entrance, and walking on the free space at the top of the wall.

" Whatever I do, follow me," Geralt said.

We arrived at the entrance but our entrance was suddenly blocked by two spears and the guard's shout.

" What is a witcher doing here?" He asked, his question is more of an insult than an actual question.

" A witcher also needs to rest," Geralt answered.

" You all this free space and you wish to rest in the city? Why don't you go meditating or that bullshit you witchers do in a shithole?"

" Is there any reason why I can't go inside? Will you try to stop me?" Geralt asked, looking the guards straight in the eyes.

Both of the guards took a step back at the question, they could antagonize a witcher, but fight it? They don't want to die.

Removing the spears they let us pass through the entrance.

" Happens every time?"

" Most of the time, cities, where I am known, try not to anger me."

After asking some questions, using Axii on them, we found an inn where we could sleep, but this time I stopped Geralt.

" Let me handle this."

And without letting him talk I walked inside the entrance of the inn and walked towards the guy I imagines was the owner.

" Hello dear customer, how can I help you?" The man asked with a smile.

"I and a friend of mine need two rooms for the night, can you also tell me a place where we can get a horse?"

" The room just for a night costs 20 crowns, if you also want to be served either breakfast or dinner it's 30, 35 for both, for the horse you can easily go to the shop in front of the apothecary."

I took out from my "pocket" 40 crowns and handed them to him.

He takes the crowns and then hands us the keys to our rooms.

I took the key and then walked back to Geralt telling him to now get inside.

The moment we walked back inside the previous jolly aura of the inn completely dies, leaving behind a strange silence and tension.

" You never told me your friend was a witcher." The inn owner said, his smile gone from his face.

" You never asked, and I already gave you the crowns," I said my smile still present on my face.

" You don't want to do this." The man said.

" Try me."

--------------------------

As the last letter came out of my mouth and the notification appeared in front of my face, half of the men inside the tavern got up from their seats and started surrounding us.

Cracking my knuckles I turn towards Geralt with a smile.

" Don't intervene unless necessary."

" Fine by me."

I turn back towards the group just in time to evade a punch aimed at my face.

Barely moving my head to evade the punch I counter the hit with a punch at his stomach making him fall to the ground, 145 Str is still 145 Str.

Seeing the end of their friend all of the people surrounding me decide to attack all at the same time, some holding broken glass bottles, pieces of wood, pieces of cutlery, anything they were able to find.

Evading the necessary ones I take the rest of the hits to open a window where I could attack them.

Taking broken bottles in the stomach to headbutt the holder, blocking cutlery with my hand to kick them in the balls, and using my back to take pieces of wood to then hit their jaw with my elbow.

There wasn't even a moment where I was in actual danger, Gamer's Body doing its work in converting any type of damage to my body to damage to my HP.

By the time I had dawned on everyone, only half of my HP had actually been removed.

Letting go of the man I had just kneed on the stomach I look back towards the inn owner, his face now a mix of fear and anger, his hands most likely moving towards what I assumed was a knife.

" If just only touch that knife I make you discover the wonder of having to live without a dick," I told him.

Maybe it was my messy hair covered in glass and wood, my piercing blue eyes, or simply the fact that I had just k.o.ed 20 men by myself, but he moved his hands away from the knife and simply stayed there hoping I wouldn't feel like punching him.

--------------------------

My brain felt like it had been split in two for a second, but after that, it returns to normal, but new knowledge had appeared on my brain, new knowledge that could make a beast in human skin.

Turning towards Geralt I throw him his key and started heading to my own room with a smile.
