《New World》Chapter 10- Goblin Lord
Advertisement
Author's note: Finally. A new name. Btw, the fight is over now. This arc will conclude with two more chapters.
"Umm... What?" Arianne interjected.
"Wait, does that mean that you you can see my level?"
We scattered as we dodged Turd's arrow.
"No. Not really. " I lied through my teeth. I used Observe a while ago but it seems that my skill hadn't levelled up enough to see her level.
Since then, I had been using the skill on all nearby objects while on our way to the boss lair.
"Want me to check?" I called out to her while blocking arrows with my short sword..
"I'm good. I'm only level 6 anyway" she responded.
Alice took the oppurtunity of Turd being a ranger to rush in, flashing both her daggers.
Turd blocked one of the daggers with his bow while the other one penetrated his shoulder. He shook off Alice and fired multiple arrows at the same time.
Alice, slinked away in a hurry using Step and came back our position.
All the hairs on my neck stood up straight as I heard a loud cackle coming from Turd. He had a dangerous look on his face. I guess he was pretty mad at us.
Can't exactly blame him now. I sighed mentally.
He started infusing mana into an arrow and shot it in a high arc. The arrow stopped midway and burst into a huge number of blue arrows. A sense of impending doom came upon me. It wasn't possible to evade all of them.
It was impossible.
The arrows hovered in the air for a moment and then resumed it's attack on us. Alice had a horrified look on her face.
Maybe it was because the opponent was a named monster.
Maybe it was because I had finished off the Kobold Lord before he could use his ultimate skill.

Whatever it was, it was the first time I felt fear encroach upon me. Alice and I would probably get away with serious injuries after getting hit by this attack from the front but ... It was Arianne I was worried about.
If her level was as low as she had claimed, she would die. No doubt.
I turned towards Arianne to atleast try and Shield her with my body but something caught my eye that caused me to stop dead in my tracks.
It was Arianne. Unlike Alice who was sweating profusely, Arianne was as cool as a cucumber.
"What the fuck are you standing there for? You're the one I'm worried about the most. Alice and I could survive this onslaught but you can't. Not with your Level" I shouted desperately.
Arianne stared at me , not giving a shit about the incoming arrows. She smirked and held up her hand and chanted.
"Fire that razes everything in my path. Be my shield! Flame Wall!".
I looked dumbfounded as a wall of fire erupted around us between us and the incoming arrows.
And not a moment too late. Just as the defensive spell was put up, i heard the sound of arrows embedding themselves onto it.
Arianne's face was impassive and she looked at me and Alice who were gaping at her and let out a small sigh.
"I'm sorry but I was lying about my level.I'm probably higher than you guys. "
I knew you were lying ya know aaand the 'stronger than you guys' part , I dont think so..
I nodded at Alice who nodded in confirmation and rushed the surprised Turd.
I used my Observe skill on all objects kn my line of sight and continued doing so until a familiar notification popped up.
*ding*
You have levelled up Observe. (Active, Intermediate Lv 1)

I used Observe on her once again. This time however, I could see her level.

Name: Arianne Wolfe
Race: Human
Profession: Helios Mage
Level: 27
I let out a sigh and looked at her lazily. I drew my bow and withouth nocking an arrow, I pointed it at Turd. I infused all my mana, which was now full from my mana potions into a single Mana Arrow, the size of a bazooka.
Alice saw me and immediately jumped away from Turd, giving him a wide berth.
Seeing my chance, I released the arrow.
Arianne's eyes widened as the Goblin Lord exploded on contact with my skill.
Seeing the imminent threat to be over, I told Alice to get the loot.
*ding*
You have levelled up
You have levelled up
I went up to Arianne who stepped back nervously.
I smiled widely, but my eyes weren't smiling.
"So... What the fuck is a Helios Mage?" I drawled.

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
