The time seems to have halted. The sound of the kick deafened Bob to the animals running amok. Yeeticus is wearing his ugly smile like what he did is funny. But to Bob, it is the violation of what he holds most dear. Looting his supplies and stealing his money is nothing compared to what he did in front of him. His’ companion’s expressions are different from his as they are also surprised of what he did.

“Karen!” Bob shouted with his left arm stretch towards the hurling chicken.

The chicken flies and glides away while flapping its’ wings, there is no major damage. At first there was silence then Yeeticus burst in to laughter while pointing at the chicken. It’s feathers has scattered around him and the gentle wind carried some of it towards Bob who is on his knees.

“Look at him! I think he’s crying.” Yeeticus mocks.

But in reality, Bob isn’t crying, he’s barely making any sound but he was saying something inaudible. When the feathers reach him, something inside him snaps. His hand slowly extends towards the feathers and caresses it, a remainder of what he thought is the end of something precious to him.

He pulls out his bow and with 3 consecutive shots he aims towards Yeeticus. The first and second arrows hits his left shoulder and right thigh respectively which staggers him causing him to fall down on the ground. The third arrow missed him by a hair’s breadth as he falls to the ground. The arrows caught him by surprise and only realized that he has been hit when he is already sitting down.

“What?”

Yeeticus is still confused but it’s clear to him that he has been hit, but from where he doesn’t know. He looks around to see where it came from and saw Bob charging towards him with the machete on his right hand. Without removing the arrows that impaled him he got up and unsheathes his blades.

Bob swings his machete diagonally towards him but he was able to evade it. Due to the force being to strong the machete got stuck to the ground.

After gaining some distance, Yeeticus removes the arrows from his body staining his clothes with blood.

“I’ve had it. I’ll end you right now!” He shouted.

Yeeticus took his stance after Bob just pulls out his machete from the ground. Immediately he disappears and appeared on top of Bob ready to land a blow on him. Without evading, Bob swings his machete upwards. Yeeticus tries to block his attack mid-air but it was too strong causing him to get blown back.

“Ugh. That took half my health!” He shouted again.

He reaches in his inventory and grabs a small vial filled with red liquid and drinks it. After drinking it a small red glow emanates from his body and the bruise that he got from being blown back is now gone.

‘What is that?’ Bob is surprise that the damage he had dealt is no gone. Furthering his fears against the adventurers. He glances at the others who are just standing still and hopes that they don’t join and gang up on him.

Their faces show that they are amused. They continue to watch from the distance while Bob and their companion is fighting.

“You need help?” DeSpanishINQ shouted mockingly.

“Shut up! I got this.” Yeeticus shouted back

He stood up then said something under his breath. He disappears before Bob’s eyes then after a moment appears behind him.

Knowing how it works from earlier, when Yeeticus disappears he already positions himself to attack behind him at a moment’s notice. Bob readies himself and was able to avoid a single thrust from Yeeticus. Then he swings his machete towards him and deal and a heavy injury.

Yeeticus shouted from the pain as he falls down. He immediately grabs another vial from his inventory but before he could drink it, Bob kicks it away. The vial shatters and spills the red liquid on the ground. He glares at Bob standing in front of him. He tries to stand up while still holding on to his blades. Bob puts his right foot on his chest and points the machete at his neck.

“Why!?” Bob shouted at him.

[Reaver’s Blessing]

Yeeticus disappears in front of him again and appears behind him. Bob tries to deflect the incoming attack but it was too fast. He got hit on his cheek and shoulder but it was not fatal. Gripping his machete, he runs it through Yeeticus stomach. He coughs up blood and tries to attack him once again despite being impaled. Bob kicks him, removing the machete from his stomach. Blood drips from it as well as on his face. He falls to his knees and vomits.

‘I did it…’

This is the first time he was able to kill someone. He didn’t mean for it to go this far. But what could he do? He lost all his senses when Yeeticus did what he did. Without thinking of the consequences, he pulls the bow and shot the arrow then rush towards him.

‘He was trying to kill me…’

His thoughts ran rampant again. He’s trying to justify what he did based on Yeeticus actions. His body began to tremble as he stares at his blood coated blade. The body is lying there with its eyes open. He stares at the body with tears in his eyes still not fully grasping what he just did.

“I…I uh…” He whimpers trying to say he is sorry but he couldn’t.

Then he felt something coming towards him. He looks at the direction of the other adventurers and saw a ball of fire headed towards him. It went over his head but it was enough to get him back on his feet. NumbaJuan throw it but she was too far away to actually hit him. He couldn’t fully see what their expressions are but he assumes that they are mad because of what he did.

Then from her hand another fire emerges and throws it at him again.
