《Gambled World》Chapter 18
Advertisement
Kal's trip toward his home was mostly uneventful after meeting with Julius. With all the tribes scared of losing too many of their own none dared disturb him. Well none besides the ones he passed that were raping women in the middle of the road.
Kal may not be the most "Kind" person but there are some things he won't tolerate. Two of which are rapists and pedophiles. And the tribe of hobgoblins were both at that moment.
All this time he knew what they did with women but didn't bother to care too much as it wasn't his problem and he honestly didn't care but if he sees it so openly he will act and kill them all. The fact that they used kids changed all this for him.
Kal's mindset changed from indifference to all the tribes to kill on sight.
After slaughtering all the hobs on the side of road he moved on. He didn't care about the sobs and cries of the women who asked him to stay. In his mind he did far more than enough.
During this battle Onyx actually managed 5 levels as she shot a few fire balls that looked a little more dangerous than Kal's spark spell. Still the fact that she participated meant the system awarded her with exp from some of the kills.
This reminded Kal yet again of the fact that he grows far slower because despite killing all of them he gained nothing.
Kal- "This will be our hunting ground in the future Onyx." He said as he walked down what looked to be a war torn street.
She looked at him in surprise.
Onyx- "Here? Are you sure? You won't gain much as far as exp goes you know?" She reminded.
Looking around the street Kal held off on answering her. Something wasn't right. All the cars were smashed, the buildings looked trashed, and the bridge for the train tracks was destroyed.

Above all it has been a while since they have even seen so much as a glimpse of orcs, gobs, or hobs. Kal had a bad feeling.
He decided to pull his bow and started moving a little slower. Onyx sensing something stood on his head and started looking around with wary eyes.
Onyx- "Kal we are surrounded."
Hearing her he froze and started looking even harder. Peering into the shadows of the buildings he finally spotted movement. It was just the glimpse of a shadow but it was enough.
To his left was a open field that led to the baseball stadium. To the right is the bus station with a few toppled and destroyed buses. In front was the bridge.
He wasn't going to be caught like this. Onyx said that they were surrounded but the field was cut quite regularly and nothing could hide there so Kal decided to bolt into the field and gain as much room as possible.
Across from the field where Kal had seen the shadow in the building an arrow flew and struck his previous location. After that first arrow more followed. Arrows were coming from every hidden area. Kal tried to return some fire but wasn't sure he hit anything.
Kal- "Shit! Who the hell is attacking us!?"
Kal sprinted in the field until he reached the center. From his inventory he hurried and pulled out a few car doors. After that match with the hobgoblins outside the taco bell he figured that if they could block his arrows then why not others?
So along the way whenever he saw a car door broken off and still in somewhat good condition he would add them to his inventory.
Now he was happy he decided to do so he hurriedly pull out three and slammed them down in the directions of the arrows making wall he could crouch down behind. With his strength he was able to lodge them in the ground. Then he peered out trying to get a look at whoever is shooting at him.

Kal-"Onyx you got anything?"
Onyx-"Yes they are being quite open when they fire now. The shooters are all goblins hiding in the remains of the bridge and buildings."
Kal-"Oh look who grew some balls. Well no need to disappoint our guests Onyx they came for a fight lets join in on the fun!"
Kal face turned dark and his eyes were filled with murder. Right away they turned bloodred. While the bloodlust skill had no effect at this range it still activated due to Kal's mood.
Onyx- "How? I am the only one that can see them? My attacks aren't strong enough at this distance yet."
He gave her a smile.
Kal- "In this world we have people who are called snipers. They are professionals who deal with taking down enemies from afar but most don't work alone. They generally have a partner called a spotter."
He then started to explain what it is a spotter does to her. Hearing what he said amazed her. To think there was such a way to fight.
In her world snipers were archers who excelled in long distance shooting but here they are far more dangerous if what he is saying is true. While the snipers he speaks of can not match the distance of the ones she knows they are still quite skilled for a world that had no magic or stats previously.
Nodding that she understood she got ready to give directions.
Onyx- "First one 600 meters to you left, 4th window up, half a foot from the center!"
Like that Kal let an arrow fly at her directions and was rewarded with a familiar squeal.
Kal-"Keep it up!"
Like that Onyx kept giving Kal directions and Kal kept following them to the letter. A few arrows would thunk into the doors Kal laid but it seems that the archers he was facing had nowhere near his skill.
After a few dozen arrows no more shots came towards him.
Kal-"Onyx do you see anymore?"
Scanning the are area with her eyes she sees a few more shadows but these ones look like they are in retreat.
Onyx- "There's a few shadows but there doesnt seem to be anything to-
She cut her words short as at that moment spilling out from the shadows of the bus station, the ruins of the bridge, and a few buildings were hundreds of orcs, goblins, and hobgoblins. At the back of these were their leaders. Ogres and some tribal looking members who were holding weird staves with skulls. All of them were armed.
Kal- "So how many am I going to have to kill today!" Kal shouted at the army. He gave the tribes their lives and allowed them to live a little longer. Sure he planned to come back and exterminate them but they didn't know that.
With that the army charged toward him.
Gritting his teeth he got ready for one hell of a fight.
