《New Path》Chapter 7 - start of the change
Advertisement
It didn't take long for them to be ready their leather armor wasn't anymore as new as before with some scratch on their back and chest, it seems like even though that even if they tried to avoid the fight as much as possible it was still impossible to get away without being hurt.
Finally prepared we just talked about what to be aware of since when they were coming the only evolved beast was some cat, rat, and god but they weren't as strong as all the others so we will stay on the same road they took and just turn around the neighborhood,' I have a feeling that it will go to shit very fast hope it's just my thought '
When i was on my thought Sarah started to talk about how we should try to be more coordinated.
" guys we should try to understand how to fight with each other because if we fought we a horde bigger and stronger than the rat we will all die "
hector was the first to respond with some sarcasm
" We know already about it but if you were the one to be pushed and on the ground and hurt at every fight then you will understand that it's not so simple"
John who was next to hector was just seating eyes closed as if not wanting to deals with all those people
" Stop it if we keep fighting each other we will understand how to fight more smoothly together beside we are not sure if planning help really just do what is needed during the fight"
Alex was no more able to hear them talking so just stopped them
" ok then let's go philip wife will stay behind with her son if anything happens she can defend herself since she has also awakened an ability like sarah and if something happens we should be able to come as fast as possible "
claire then stand up starting walking to the door while looking at Philip who nodded and said something to his wife before following claire.
And the other followed behind them, and we did like last time when outside shield-bearer in front and the other attack from afar or from the side, I looked around us even if from the window of the house of Philip I could see outside it was really strange I could tell that there were people looking at us from their apartment or house but no one of them came out the street wasn't big just a small one with cars parked feeling all the street before.
Edward then came beside me pushing hector aside, who looked at him with some grievance but said nothing knowing that we were outside and needed to be as silent as possible.
" So what did you got from killing this monster you should at least level up at least once isn't it "
i looked at him strangely then shook my head
" yeah i did but why do you want to know about it "
- " ohhh for nothing much just wanted to know if killing stronger evolved beast can help us gaining something special just like in the game you know "
i was surprised by what he had just said since he didn't have the look of someone who plays videogame but i didn't tell him about my level and just told him how much i gained from killing the rat not wanting to tell him too much about me after he came back to his place next to Philip with john behind them with his sword ready fo anything which will happen.

We were walking in the street but it didn't take long before we heard a noise from above us and when we looked in the sky we saw birds with what seemed like a giant eagle in front leading the small one and before we could even hide we heard the leading bird screaming.
SCREEE!!!
And even if he was so far we could already hear his scream, just after that scream they started coming our way
" quick stay behind the car those with the shield in front, sarah, and emily we count on you two we don't know what to do for now and if we stay too long they will attract more beast "
i told them hoping it was a good choice to stay here instead of running
" i am not sure if i will be able to touch them they seem really fast we need "
i then heard Sarah who was preparing herself raising her hand in the sky ready for the attack but before she could even launch an attack i saw two bird coming for fred and alex who were on each side of the shield barrier we just made with edward in front and hector and Philip next to him the others had their back on the cars at least like that it safer.
but i was wrong the bird didn't attack any of us but attacked the car they launched themself on the front and back of the car they were so fast that before we could even do something they were already above the car, they used their claw it was glowing with the sun who just started to be above us and they were trying to move the car away from us by beating their wings it happened so fast that no one of us was able to understand what was happening.
" damn stop them or we will be easy prey for them with the car not blocking them anymore"
i then heard john voice and he was already running at the same time so fast that it surprised me
it at that time that i noticed that there was already four other bird attacking us at the same time before i could say something i saw sarah and emily already attacking two of the bird and before the bird could even escape it was already too late and one arrow pierced the wing of one bird who was trying to attack philip while at the same time an ice cone directly landed on the body of the bird next to his heart making blood spurt from the sky staining us the two other attacked edward at the same time but he easily blocked them with his huge shield then used the sharp bottom of his shield to crush their heads.
And Lisa who was next to me raised her shield protecting her head while I stayed next to emily and sarah protecting them since Iand it didn't take long before I notice that the eagle or maybe something else like that launch itself from the sky with its claw already prepared but I couldn't do something else so I just waited, preparing myself at this time i could judge the level of those evolved bird
it's at this time that I saw claire and alex coming next to me but at the same time the last small bird about five of them followed the leader it seems like he noticed that they can't kill us so easily and decided to come all at once, it just takes two seconds before and they were already at 3 meters from us.

" get behind me and wait for a chance to strike back we can't fight with them they are too fast"
When they heard my voice both of them stayed behind me, i say that but i can feel my blood boil wanting to fight this eagle even though i can feel that even if he is at the same level as the last rat leader by the energy coming from his body but he is too fast.
But all of sudden i felt a strong wind and saw the eagle with his wings wide open and he launched at me,i raised my shield ready but what i saw was the claw of the eagle passing through the shield he then used his wings trying to take in the air, so i tried to resist but i didn't have a good grasp on the ground.
" Chris keep him like that !!"
i then heard Alex and turned my head i saw her raising her hammer and landed a heavy blow on the eagle wing making him lose balance and fall to the ground, but it was at this time that he used his wing and attack us making me and alex fall on the ground even if he wasn't strong enough there was still the small bird behind him and they were coming at us while we were still unbalanced.
" claire kill him first i will protect Alex "
i pointed to the eagle who was still on the ground trying to stand up since i saw that she was coming to help us and Lisa who was next to me was now with sarah and emily protecting them.
Hearing him claire turned her attention toward the eagle and dashed in one second in front of him ready to cut his head but it's at the same time that the eagle stopped moving and turned his claw toward her and she wasn't anymore able to stop herself
' damn i should have known about it it seems like this one is smarter than the other, what can i do now '
noticing that she make a mistake she put her sword in front of her protecting her belly she saw what happened to Chris shield and didn't want to test the sharpness of those claws. even if she was able to dodge most of the damage she was still injured on the sides causing blood to flow on her foot staining the floor.
" Claire try to not let him move i will try to kill him with my last use of my skill "
At this time Sarah had already killed one of the bird who was attacking me and alex i used my shield who was almost destroyed and rolled to the side trying to get near the girls since they weren't too far hoping it will be enough fo reach them i used all my strength putting my arms around alex shoulder and pushed my foot as strong that i can propel us near the girls and lisa who wasn't far from us came toward us raising her shield, while emily shot her arrow to the bird who was attacking us but couldn't land a clear shot on them they were too fast and they directly escape in the air once they attacked not letting her the chance to her for hurting them.
At the same time, Sarah used her last use of her skill and attacked the eagle who was still on the ground while claire hurt with blood flowing on her side endured the pain tried her best to not let him escape.
" Sarah how much time will it take i don't think i would be able to stop him for longer hurry up "
claire was breathing with difficulty with how much she escaped the attack of the eagle she had scratch all over her body.
" Ok ...it's good now get away from him "
i could see Sarah with her hand shaking trying to be accurate with the shot otherwise if the eagle can fly it will be difficult to have the same chance twice, and the eagle who was attacking claire suddenly turned his head toward sarah and swung his wings helping him for being faster, i don't know why he changed is prey for sarah but i didn't have the time to thing because even if lisa was protecting us we were still unable to stand up without being attacked fiercely by the small bird. so i directly used my shield and threw it at the eagle hoping it would stop him.
And it was when i throw my shield that the small bird attacked but this time emily was ready and anticipated their attack ' this time you will not be able to escape ' and shoot directly two arrows at the same time killing directly one the bird while the others arrow landed on the wings of the other who fall just next to us and before he could even try to stand up i rolled next to him and cut his head making blood flow on my face without stopping.
" Chris are you crazy come back now "
i heard lisa calling me, it's then that i remembered that there was still two bird left and they were just 1 meter from me but before they could attack me i saw a hammer passing just in front of me and crushed the head of one of the bird while lisa reached me and killed the other before he fled.
While we were killing the last small bird my shield didn't stop the eagle he was still going to sarah but thank that she gained enough time to shot him directly in the head just after the shield blocked his path the ice cone landed on the head of the eagle making blood but he wasn't still dead and was not far from sarah but he was now walking on his eg slowly but we were still too far and she was alone panicking trying to find what to do.
' nononono i don't want to die what can i do i don't have enough energy left to cast another spell '
she was touching her body trying to find something useful to protect herself it's then that she touched her dagger still in the sheath that she never used.
' yes i have this i saw the others fighting i just need to wait for a good chance and it will be ok the others should reach me before i get injured '
saying that she took out the dagger and placed it in front of her the eagle was coming with blood covering all his body from his head to the ground making a trail of blood the scene was really horrible to saw even for us who killed some beast but this one was too far like those horror movies.
' Why can't i move my body don't want to respond '
her body was shivering and the eagle was already just next to him she could feel his heavy breath with the smell of blood, which didn't help her.
' no i need to move i can't die here why i should die now i even started to learn all those incredible things move move moveeeeee!!!!'
she was crying tears falling on her cheek, her mind racing trying to find a solution her heart racing as if it will burst out at any time.
" move aside"
she then heard a voice and didn't even try to know who it was and did what she was told and moved aside trying to distance herself from the bird. the bird noticed someone was coming and was bout to attack her before dying but he was too slow the wound in his head and all the blood loss was too much even for his body and a sword appeared after sarah moved aside and killed the bird with his head falling on the ground his eyes lifeless still looking at the man who killed him.
It was John there was scratches all over his body with blood flowing, noticing it was John sarah wake up from her freeze state and started using her healing spell even if she didn't have enough to heal him completely at least his wound will no more be so bad and just after using her spell she fell on the floor gasping for her.
" Sarah what his happening to you "
hector edward philip and fred were just behind John with the same wound their leather armor stained with blood.
"What happened to you guys I was wondering why you took so long for dealing with just four bid"
it was alex who asked them and it seems like being almost killed two-time wasn't a good feeling with no way to defend herself since she didn't have a shield
- " Are you kidding seriously we almost die there just after the bird attacked us there were dogs and rats coming from nowhere attacking us non stop if it wasn't for john and fred who were attacking them from the side even before you finished the birds they will have killed us all "
Philip said with anger in his tone gasping for her
" ok stop it now we survived it's the more important but we should move now i don't know why but those evolved beast seems smarter before they just attacked us non stop before we kill them but today they attacked and retreated not taking the risk to be killed even if some still attacked without no order some of them waited when we were fighting and attacked behind us, and it's thank to john and fred who protected us that we could kill them all "
edward then explain to us why they were so injured
- " but how many attacked us "
claire came to with difficulty to walk straight
" the same as the bird about four rat, 2 dogs,s and 4 cats, the thing strange about it is that they didn't attack each other but concentrated their attack on us "
hector was already too tired sat down on the floor too tired to care about the blood and the flesh on his body.
" ok then we should not stay here long then if we were attacked so fast after just walking not so far from Philip house it better to take another way because i am sure the smell of blood will attract more evolve best "
i told them not wanting to stay too long here, even if i didn't fight too much my mind was at its limit and we all need rest.
" ok then but let me have some rest and restore my energy before healing the other with serious injury otherwise even if we escape they will only attract more beast with their blood flowing"
said sarah while closing her eyes, and after that, i could feel the energy being sucked by her body, ' so it's that how she can restore her energy it looks like this world is getting more interesting' i said to myself before closing my eyes two looking at my screen stat, we were all in a circle ready for any attack while resting.
