Advertisement
Calm down, the ice will soon melt yes it will melt. Marcus calmed down and started to control the one-meter cyan snake, at first it was hard but then everything became easy. Marcus watched as he willed the cyan snake to hovered in mid-air and to fly around him. Another cyan snake appeared in the blue circle and Marcus try to control this one, the second cyan snake was moving in a circle with him being the center.
He felt like he was the cyan snake which is a weird feeling, another cyan snake appeared, and this time no matter how hard he tries to control the cyan snake it was futile. Marcus made some guesses that two cyan snaked is his limit and anything beyond was impossible for him at least for now.
As he was thinking the third cyan snake that he failed to control flew towards the wall making the temperature in the room turned worse. If a human came here he would freeze to death in five minutes, it may be exaggerated but that just shows how cold the room is. Looking at the two cyan snake that was moving around he willed them and they flew towards the wall making the temperature to drop even further.
"Playing with snakes is fun, now it's starting to get boring."
Marcus thought as he turned his head and stared at the tree that was standing not far away from him, then a shout rang. Marcus saw the commotion happening near him, fortunately, there is a window if not he would really be bored to death! What's worse is if he could actually die...
. . .
Leo and his sister were accompanied by three people, during their free time Leo had make some friends and these three people consist of two males and one female, the female was close to his sister so he was happy that his sister is finally able to stand for herself. The other two boys also were good, the three of them became good friends because they faced the same situation so helping each other was a good option.

"Boy, I think we have some misunderstanding here."
Not far from them was a man who was bigger than them, his shoulders were big and it was filled with muscles. They didn't doubt this man's ability! It was precisely the reason why they are here, they are avoiding this man.
"Stop following us! Don't you dare talk to my sister!"
Leo shouted and his hands slowly reached to his waist, the two boys also reached something in their waist. They stared at this man with a fierce gaze. Selena and the girl were at the back staring at the man.
The man had four people on his side, it was five vs five!
. . .
"They will fight near my house? good, it will reduce my boredom!."
Marcus stared at the man and apart from his big body that was filled with muscles he looked like a bodybuilder. His eyes were staring at the group of kids, and the people beside him also stared at the kids. This standoff lasted in a minute and it was still going, what is going on? if you two groups want to fight then fight! stop keeping me in suspense!
Marcus looked at the two groups and didn't know what to say.
"Brandon, what well do now?"
The man beside Brandon said, these kids are a problem they just want to talk and that Leo thought they have bad intentions. Is that guy have a problem in his head?
Brandon didn't reply, his gaze was glued to Selena. After a few seconds, he gave a low sigh and was about to leave these kids when an irritable sound rang not far from them.
Brandon and the men beside him turned their heads and saw a large number of goblins that were heading on their way.

Leo and the two men stared at the goblins with a solemn expression. They were about to fight but another group joins in, don't you have some principle!?
Marcus looked at the goblins but his eyes stared at the back, there was a bulk figure and its teeth were sharp. What is that fierce-looking guy doing here?
Brandon stared at that bulk figure and a thought popped in his mind, "I didn't think I would meet one here." Brandon walked towards the goblins while his men followed him.
"Boy, you know what to do in these kinds of situations."
Brandon said before keeping a certain distance at the goblins.
Leo and his team positioned themselves, Selena and the girl were at the back while Leo and the two boys at the front. Their eyes following the figure of Brandon as he stopped 2 meters away from the goblins.
The bulk figure saw Brandon walking close to them, the big green hand was clenched into a ball and it shouted.
"&^%&!"
The goblins ran towards them, and since the frontline is Brandon and his men they were the first to meet the brutal attacks of the goblins, from afar the goblins numbered into twenty, adding that bulk figure they are twenty-one while Brandon and his were five adding Leo and his team would be ten.
Ten Vs TwentyOne!
"Goblin Fighter, don't disappoint me."
Brandon licked his lips as his eyes emitted a glaring light, he shouted 'Rage!' and his muscles swelled. Boom! his shirt exploded revealing the body that was filled with muscles, veins that looked like worms which are wriggling.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One by one, the men beside Brandon also had similar phenomenon, their shirts exploded revealing their body that was filled with muscles, some had their veins colored red like lava was flowing through them. Just their body alone emitted a suffocating pressure!
Leo and his team looked at them with mouth open wide, is this the group that they want to fight? Just thinking about that made their heart beat in fear.
Marcus saw that and his expression change, he met a group of bodybuilders!
. . .
A goblin raised its hand towards Brandon but before it could reach him, Brandon grabbed the goblin with his hand and violently smashed it into the ground.
Bang!
The sound alone made anyone who heard it pale, another Goblin with a knife on its hands charged forward and since they were close the strike was inevitable. Brandon raised his right hand and the knife pierced through it, blood flowed dropping into the ground, Brandon use his other hand and grabbed the goblin's head and smashed it into the ground!
His face did not budge even a little, a notification appeared and he looked at the interface screen in front of him.
[Bleeding Status, -1hp every ten seconds. ]
Brandon looked at his bleeding hands and a smirk formed on his face, pain is my friend it tells me I am alive!
Brandon and his men swept the goblins as they made their way to the Goblin Fighter, the ground was filled with the corpses of goblins and the sound of fist hitting flesh was loud that it made others wonder if they would survive that fist!
