Chapter 25 The Camp.
The both of them made their way over.
As they walked along the dirt road while his face was getting hit by a summer breeze, Archer checked his status.
[Experience: 1300/2000]
[Level Up: 25>26]
[SP: 4>12]
[Eldritch Blast: 1>2]
[Cosmic Sword: 1>2]
Archer was happy as he leveled up 2 of his spells, and gained a new level.
The caravan moved along the road for a few more hours before they could see a village in the distance.
They arrived not long after, Rowana, Ephrain and Ludo all said their goodbyes to Archer as the caravan passed through without stopping.
Rowana quickly approached him and hugged him so hard that he was getting suffocated between her two massive mountains.
''Look after yourself, we will see each other when I've completed this quest, be careful when you're travelling.''
She made her way back to the caravan before it passed through the southern gate, Archer went off to find the village chief.
Looking around he spotted the best house in the place, he made his way over to it and knocked on the door.
Knock!~ Knock!~
After a few minutes a young man in his early 20s answered the door with a cocky look on his face.
''What do you want boy?''
He knew where this was going.
'He's the young master type.'
Before the man could say anything Archer stared into his eyes and spoke.
''Fuck this and fuck you, tell the Chief I'm here to clear the goblins.''
Not giving the man a chance to speak, he went to look for any villagers roaming around.
After searching for a while, he found a woman outside a house hanging up clothes, he approached and greeted her with a smile.
''Hello miss, do you happen to know where the goblins have been seen?''
The woman turned around and looked at the boy who spoke.
Her eyes widen as she has never seen anyone who looks like him, she could tell he wasn't human but couldn't figure out what he was.
She nodded her head and answered the boy.
''Yes, leave through the west gate and head towards the ruined farm, they were seen there yesterday.''
Archer thanked the woman and headed to the western gate.
He walked for an hour and arrived at the ruined farm.
After looking around for a while he couldn't find anything, so he decided to search the forest.
When he entered the forest the afternoon sunlight got blocked out, but it didn't effect him because of his dragon senses.
While walking past some strange looking tree he got attacked by some monkey looking beasts.
They were throwing things at him from the branches.
He was dodging all the projectiles, until a sneaky monkey snuck up close before throwing one.
It smacked him straight in the face, he came to a stop to get whatever they threw off.
This angered him as he chased the damn creatures while ranting and raving.
He caught two of the damned things and butchered them in front of the other monkeys, sending them in a wild panic as they saw the demon child tearing apart their kin.
Archer cast cosmic sword and chased the things down, slaying them one by one, as he stored them in his item box
After killing 4 more he stopped chasing the beasts, and he got back to his goblin search.
A few hours later he came across a clue, loads of little foot prints heading further into the forest, he followed them and kept out of the way.
He didn't want to be spotted so soon, after following the tracks for a little while he came across a massive clearing with a camp built in it.
Looking up and finding the perfect branch, he jumped up to it and climbed higher so he could get a better view of the place.
What he saw kind of shocked him, it was a big goblin camp.
There was hundreds of goblins walking around, that's when archer felt his heart beat starting to get quicker, he wanted to jump down and start slaughtering everything.
He wanted to rip them apart and eat their hearts.
Archer was losing his mind thinking about all the hearts he will be able to eat and how much experience he will gain.
Casting cosmic sword twice and plunging the blade into the first goblins chest, he pulled the blade out and rushed forward while starting to rhyme.
''Goosey, goosey, gander.
Where shall I wander.''
He ran towards another goblin slicing its throat, then he shot 4 fire missiles at two groups of goblins who were running towards him.
He went back to rhyming as he butchered every goblin he came across.
''Up stairs, down stairs.
And in my lady's chamber''
Blood was flying everywhere as Archer slashed and stabbed everything he got close to, the goblins were clueless and didn't know how to react.
They were thrown into a panic as all they could see was white and black streaks as more of them were falling to the floor.
Archer was thunder stepping around the camp not letting any goblins catch him.
''There I met an old man.
Would not say his prayers''
Archer was out of breath so he started to use magic.
Casting loads of void blasts, plasma shots and fire missiles while he finished his rhyme with a big smile.
''Take him by the left leg.
Throw him down the stairs.''
Archer laughed as he finished rhyming, he looked around at the carnage he caused with a smile, a little under 100 bodies lay motionless.
'Loads of hearts Hehe.'
His senses screamed out to him to quickly block, so he did just that.
And was sent flying as a massive great sword swiped at him as he blocked it just in time.
He managed to land on his feet, looking up he saw a big goblin, unlike the skinny ones, this one had muscles and a decent weapon.
Smiling as he prepared himself, he charged forward after casting body enhancement, strengthening his whole body for the fight ahead.
The big goblin swung his sword again but Archer fired a plasma shot at the blade directly hitting it, making it change course allowing him to easily dodge it.
When he dodged the swing, he sliced the goblins wrists, making it scream out in pain.
Archer kept firing plasma shots and fire missiles at it, getting the regular feeling he is used to he quickly cast cosmic shield,
The shield deflected an axe strike from behind.
He turned around and stabbed the goblin, flinging the body away he turned to the big guy who was half burnt and struggling to stand.
Smiling as he saw his opponent in a horrible state he attacked again, speeding forward he fired a plasma blast at the goblin.
It blocked the attack but Archer slashed it's leg, bringing it to the ground.
He spun around and jumped towards its back, stabbing both swords into the base of it's neck.
Looking around he spotted the surviving goblins fleeing, so like a police dog he sprinted after them.
He was like a hound on a hunt and slew loads of goblins.
Archer stopped because he was out of breath.
He dismissed his swords as he took a slow walk back while collecting every heart and body he came across, arriving back at the camp he went about collecting the hearts, bodies and loot.
After hours of looting, Archer looked up and realized it has turned night time, he gathered 147 goblin corpses and 156 hearts, 100 gold coins, 200 silver and 1023 copper.
He found some human and demi human corpses in one of the ram shackled huts, they must of ambushed a caravan or adventurers party recently.
Archer started eating the hearts he had, so he can obtain their experience and reduce the amount he has.
Once he finished them all he will check his status.
He gathered up everything he wanted and left the camp not before firing missiles at all the shacks and burning them to the ground.
Archer walked away as he was looking for a tree to sleep in.
For some reason he has become very comfortable in trees, not long after looking he found a tall sturdy one.
Climbing up it, he took out his water skin and had a drink.
Watching the stars in the sky as he ate.
Before long he felt sick and stopped after the 30th heart.
He laid down and fell asleep hoping he didn't have any more nightmares.
The next morning Archer opened his eyes to see a bird-looking creature in front of him.
When the creature saw him looking it flew off quickly.
Archer got up while scratching his head, he looked around and remembered he fell asleep just outside the goblin's camp.
