The fight looked like a three versus three. But who was say that more of these monsters will not come later attracted by this horrible stream. They needed to end this fight quickly to be sure. It was difficult knowing that their team was disadvantaged in term of strength.

Tommy had already assembled all he knew about these monsters in a note book in his bag. They were pale green, strong, intelligent, vicious, fast when they used their two legs. They were good hunters, they had good reflex and were very sharp. But often time and advantage is also a weakness, Tommy was betting on this fact.

All this time he had been dragging the wooden club from the thing they killed.

‘Perhaps it is the reason, why it could track us ‘Tommy tough.

He used his special right hand to throw the wooden club at the monsters that were approaching. The one in the front used his own, to block it but at that moment it saw another thing fling toward his face. It came flying so quickly that the monster did not have time to dodge. The thing was not that hard on the contrary it was fragile, but it was sharp. It was a piece of glass. The moment it made contact with his face, some parts of his skin were cut. But even worse, some glass shard entered in his eyes. The monster slipped and crashed violently on the ground. The faster you are, the harder is the fall. It become momentary unable to fight. It could be seen from the way he was screaming and pressing his hands on his bloodied eye that he was experiencing a pain like never before in his life.

Tommy was surprised by his own strength. His throw was at least twofold faster than that of the best baseball player he ever saw.

The other was even more surprised. What did they miss, they just turned and one monster was already down.

‘Is this the power obtained from killing a monster’ they became even more courageous.

Tommy second opened showed a funny looking shocked expression. It saw the human throw an object he never ever saw at his brethren. It almost slipped too, and only managed to remain standing due to its good reflexes, when the other monster fell on his way.

It became even more serious and vigilant.

‘He is different indeed, he must not be underestimated’ the monster seemed to think

At that moment he saw the strange and tasty looking creature throw something else at him. He evaded quickly.

Tommy continued to throw other things too. They were not sharp piece of glass like the first time. That first throw, while it looked simple was not easy. It was difficult to touch fast moving target even more so with the right angle. He took all his time for that throw and only threw it when he was sure to hit. Even then he almost missed because he had underestimated his own strength.

The objects he was throwing were miscellaneous objects. It collected them in case they came into handy. At that time he thought that perhaps he will find something to it in the forest perhaps he will need to use the necessary ustencils, he even had a big plastic bottle full of salt and a big and thick dictionary. He also had many piece of glass in case he needed to cut something, it is all he could think about when he did not see any knife back then.

But the green monster did not know this. He could not recognize any of these things and made the assumption that they were dangerous. He knew from his brethren that the being in front of him was not bluffing. Apart from them, which creature in the wildness wills throw gifts at his enemy during a fight. Those things were surely dangerous weapon.

After relying on his agility to evade and to block Tommy attack. The monster relaxed a bit. And even showed a hideous grin when he saw how his opponent was tensed up, not as relaxed as before.

It was difficult to throw something at this distance and the young man was in the radius of his attacks. Seeing this monster raised his club ready to smash. Tommy did not know that the monster was reading his expression or he would have laughed.

What it saw as fear and nervousness was in fact focus, because all this while, Tommy had been waiting for this moment. The wooden club was smashing down with great strength, and the monster who was holding on it could not retreat.

Tommy launched itself at him with all his strength. Tommy had been carrying one of their wooden club for a while and tough that it was not the best weapon after all, it was too heavy, after your enemy got too close to you, if he were as strong as you, and used a weapon with a shorter range, he will easily defeat you.

Tommy also made another thing, goblin skins were too hard to penetrate, and you could not dig deep enough with an ordinary knife even less with piece of glass.

Tommy’s only reliable weapon at this moment was his right arm and he has chosen were to hit. When his fist met the monster’s neck, He knew that he was not mistaken.

The monster weakly lost its grip of the wooden club who crashed loudly somewhere far away. Tommy started to pummel the monster’s neck and face and soon it started to resist. With one hand he punched Tommy chest, making him almost throw up. Just like that they started to fight almost like normal people, rolling on the ground, kneeling and standing up again. Tommy spited the blood in his mouth at his opponent face enraging it further. At that moment he felt something dig in his thigh. The monster was finally thinking of fighting like a monster using his sharp finger to cut him.

Tommy also saw the monster that fell sooner trying to stand up again. He decided to learn from the monster and gripped the front part of the monster’s neck with all his strength. The monster grip also tightened as it become more ferocious. But it was all for naught because Tommy finger pierced inside his neck. He pulled out his hand while still holding the flesh, opening a big wound. Blood came wildly gushing out of it.

After a while the monster fell on the ground, lifeless. From its corpse a black Cristal the size of a pebble flew out of it and entered inside Tommy right hand. He saw all of it happens, even when an additional mark looking like a purple drop of water appeared on his arm.

Tommy did not stop and walked toward his second opponent. It has somewhat calmed itself and was going to stand up when throw, his remaining bloody eyes, he saw something get close to him.

Tommy did not know how scary he looked at the moment with his bloody and torn clothes. The thing wanted to strike but Tommy caught its hand.

Tommy had not used his right arm this time, but the left one that was crippled until now. It had almost completely recovered after the second mark appeared. The enraged green creature tightened its grip over the human hand; as if he wanted to crush it, Tommy even felt pain. While doing this he used his other hand to strike at the human. But its fist was caught by Tommy right hand, he tightened his grip until the object in it started to crack, without difficulty, he crushed it. He also crushed its other arm and leg.

“This feeling is strange. The augmentation in the other parts of my body are only subpar while my right hand now is even stronger than these monster. My arm is becoming similar to a weapon” Tommy tough to himself and brought its attention to his teammate.

Their fight was not bloody as his. In the beginning the monster had started to attack crazily, while they remained careful. Roland and Violet were using wooden stick that the group recovered on the way. They were long, hard and sharpened at the end.

The two will use the longer range of their weapon; take turn harassing the thing and retreat when it was getting too close. There were many close calls, and they did mistakes some time.

But when they saw how Tommy had disposed of one of the monster, they became more ferocious. They thought that they were going to win because the monster movement were starting to get slower. It seemed like it was afraid and was hesitating whether to flee or not. They tough that they were going to win the monster threw it weapon at them.

They did not manage to evade in time. Roland crashed violently on the ground on the left while on the right Violet screamed when she felt something strike on her leg

The monster seemed to have gone crazy as he launched itself at her. At that time she closed her eyes awaiting her death. She waited but nothing happened. She only heard a strange noise. When she opened her eyes Tommy was in front of her with a wooden club in his hand. in front of him was the corpse of the monster who got his head crushed.

With the three monster dead, they assembled together once more. Roland though he was tired was pretty fine, Tommy though injured just showed his right hand with two marks in form of purple drop of water, and said that he was going to recover soon. The other two were somewhat jealous.

Finally, they decided that Violet would be the one to kill the remaining monster as she was injured. They also decided to go back to the school because it was already late in the afternoon.

Tommy changed his torn shirt for a cleaner one. He even took back the entire thing that he has thrown and stored a plastic bag he had brought with him.

Everything was peaceful on the way back, almost like they were coming back from an errand. When they sneaked in, violet leg’s had almost recovered. A mark that looked like a black vein appeared on his left arm.

There was an additional purple drop on Tommy’s arm.

Looking at it and feeling the strength coursing in his body he did not know whether to be happy; or story for having stolen his teammate’s kill.
