Fate/Inheritance

Chapter 21 - 20: Battle in the Caverns (Part I)

Looking at the huge shadow Felix swore in his hardened breath.

"Oi… You got to be kidding me!" – Felix

Standing 8 meters tall a huge monstrosity is there greeting us with it's hot breath. Looking at its bulky body filled with ripped muscles you can literally see the raw power in the veins visible to it. With thick grey skin the giant loomed in us like a shadow. Armed with primitive leather from an unknown animal what lies before us is a monster commonly known as an Ogre. I had read about them in the palace when I had the free time. Looking at the already shaking Mole behind me I nudged him to distract myself from this rising fear I have.

"Hey old man you told us that there are only goblins here right?" – William

"T-that's what I heard from the leader of this group! I never knew they kept this kind of monsters here!" – Mole

I feel really worried if there are more of them unknown monsters lurking around. The information we got will be useless at this point. I was distracted a bit but an arrow came from our sides and quickly intercepted them with the spear I pulled out from my item box.

"S#it more goblins!?" – William

"Their already blocking the exit!" Why did I not notice them!? Mana Signatures? There's a goblin shaman!" – Yamada

Looking around I already noticed that we are heavily surrounded with arrows pointed at us. I already noticed the short goblin with tattoos and a staff behind the ogre barking what seemed to be orders. Signaling Yamada, he nodded and vanished again. When the Knight Captain also finished observing the surroundings it seems the enemy will start moving already.

"Focus on escaping! Those with heavy hitting damage prioritize delaying the ogre! Archer's disrupt the shaman from chanting! Shit I thought we had already cleared all the huge monsters from our territory." – Felix

Unsheathing his sword, Captain Felix rushed into the Ogre who already had been charging at us. The arrows already started to pour in. My fellow classmates aside, those who already gathered their wits deployed barriers made out of wind disrupting the trajectory of the arrows. Noticing that they already had that covered I aimed at the Goblins who was startled by the sudden squalls of wind.

"Haaa!!!" – James

"Huhhp!!" – Lee Hyun

"Hmmph!" – Natasha

Noticing that some of my classmates had already started to fight back I noticed how James holy sword already came out. Each kill seems to make the sword a bit sharper making me raise an eyebrow. Lee Hyun had been already breaking the neck of the Goblins around us with his swift kicks that is carrying huge amount of air and Natasha had been weaving through the Goblins with her swift thrusts. Looking further the spell casters had been prioritizing enhancement and disrupting the enemies. Even if the cave is currently big we are a group of more than 30 we don't want a cave in to happen.

*Roooarr!!!* - Ogre

"F.u.c.k!" – Felix

Hearing the swore of Felix and the roar of the ogre I made a quick glance at their side and saw how one of the soldiers was sent flying. His status unknown aside I don't think they can pierce through that armor and hide. Yamada and the Shaman is already in a stalemate waiting for each other to have an opening but I believe I can trust that devious mind of his to do finish his match. It seems that James also noticed the others predicament and called a few names.

"Natasha, Lee Hyun, Hamir, William! On me! We need to help Knight Commander Felix if we want to get out of here!" – James

"*nods*" – Natasha

"Roger!" – Lee Hyun

"Tch." – Hamir

Nodding to James I also readied my spear. It seems that guy who pointed that unpleasant look at me at that time when we were choosing our job is called Hamir strangely his name did not even get registered to me and Yamada's head. Ignoring such after thoughts, I looked again at the rampaging Ogre, it seemed to had grabbed a wooden totem pole of sort when I was distracted and had been swinging it around dangerously. Sir Felix tried to not let it approach any of the rock formations holding this cavern or we might be buried by a cave in.

"Haa!" – William

Charging through I dodged the wide swing of the monster by sliding beneath it. Covering my spear with a red aura I had recently just mastered, I stabbed it in the knee making the monster shriek in pain. I did not manage to recover the spear but I still made an opening causing me to grin.

"Explode!" – William

Making the aura inside the spear explode it tore the right leg I stabbed with my spear. Even though I still lost a durable weapon I still have spares in my item box. Not to mention my cards…

"Hahap!" – Lee Hyun

Midair Lee Hyun is performing a roundhouse kick at its head causing it to get disoriented.

"Seeiya!" – Natasha

He was quickly followed by Natasha who is thrusting her rapier quickly at its eyes that had bulged due to the blunt force of that kick. Blinding it the monster tried to rage through this fast assault but to no avail two attacks quickly arrived at it. With its neck exposed two overwhelming strikes followed it by the two people who arrived near it.

"Raaaa!" – Hamir

Cleaving through the neck of the Ogre is Hamir's great sword which is covered by an oppressive red-black aura opening a big wound on its neck. It seems the monster is still alive and was already in the motion of swinging that pole overhead but Lee Hyun quickly intercepted it in the side alongside Sir Felix who increased his speed with Wind Magic. Giving the opening chance for James to dislodge its head from its body.

"*heavy breathing* Is it finally over?" – James

Hearing those accursed words, I feel like really wanting to stab James right now. It seems Yamada also overheard it who was approaching us who had finished off the shaman making him pause and look at James with hate.

"*clap* *clap* Congratulations for such huge deed there heroes~. I'm super impressed in your skills~" – ???

Looking at the new opponent we had only a retort passed by my head and I believe Yamada had also with his twitching eyebrows.

'You gotta drop a flag you f.u.c.ker!' – William & Yamada

============================================================

Extra:

Flags

After making a huge lecture about some common sense to my fellow classmates about the power of certain words and what certain statements should not be told in certain times...

"To think such words are dangerous… But how come a promise like to marry their love one after a battle even be avoided?" – James

"I don't know how it works but the Goddess of Love had already stated she won't let them marry." – William

'What the hell… Scary.' – Everyone

Spears

"Why did you let your spear explode at that time by the way?" – Yamada

"Well~ aside from how tall that thing is I felt it would look cooler to let it explode." – William

"What are you a certain loli explosion maniac ?" - Yamada
