Life Is A Game : Rise Of The Bloodvolva

* Bang bang bang *

At least I thought I was lucky, but finally it may be the opposite: three new shooter have just made their entry and shoots randomly in our direction.

I am now almost constantly under fire, I even have to stop my skill because my mana is almost empty, and I prefer to do without the migraine that will follow.

I can only do my best to survive now, but one thing is certain, if I could go back in the past when I "formulate" this plan ...

(I'll break my legs myself to stop myself !)

I hear another shot, followed by a shout of goblin. I turn my head to see what happened but do not see among the trees and other goblins chasing us, however it's easy to guess that one of the human shots hit one of the green-skins.

A few seconds later my hypothesis is confirmed with a fireball is no longer thrown at me but on the windows where the shots come from !

(Yes, yes, finally, go ahead and kill yourself !)

The euphoria makes me almost shout a cry of joy!

* Tchac *

"- AAAAAAH !

- Blóðvölva! "

A violent impact on my left shoulder blade makes me fall forward. Inukami throws himself on me and then hold me up while I see the tip of an arrow coming out of the front of my shoulder. I clench my teeth and start running again.

"- Blóðvölva, take it! "

Inukami, who supports me, open the wrist and shows me his blood. My body reacts by instinct and activates itself [Blood Absorption] while I catch the tip and break it. My mana goes back up a bit, at least enough to use [Superior Heal] on the kobold and me, but in doing so my mana poul is again at a low enough level to give me a headache. What happens when one is healed while a foreign body (here the arrow) is still in the flesh? Well the pain dissipates a little and the flesh closes, as if nothing had happened ...

(But it's closed on the arrow !!! Shiiiiiiit !)

So now I have an arrow soldering to my flesh and my bones. I have to support my arm which, even if it can move, almost snatch me a cry of pain with every movement.

I can run by myself again but the migraine, the pain in my shoulder and back, my equipment etc ... make me no longer as responsive as before.

Suddenly I see Inukami grabbing his sword and leaping forward. He passes a tree while being almost on the ground and I see that he strikes with his sword in the same movement. When I pass next to the tree, I see, back to me, an armed human who is topling towards me. I see his blood gush from his open c.h.e.s.t. Inukami smelled him and knew he was hiding there, so he plunged to be lower than the guy and he opened his c.h.e.s.t with a sword strike. I jumped like a hungry beast on the body of the man.

([Blood Manipulation] ! [Blood Absorption]!)

His blood flys at me, but I plunge my hand into the wound to go faster. The effect is immediate and I take back my mana and my energy. Obviously, by the time I do it , the goblins have almost caught up with us, but I feel better at least and above all ... I left a gift in this body!

As soon as the group passes by the body I use [Blood Implosion] and it explodes. Once again the "shrapnel" effect sows chaos in the goblin ranks and some dies, but the amount of blood has limited the damage, they are only delayed in their race for my skin.

"- Blóðvölva, on the right ! "

My kobold saves me life again. I dive as he did, snatching a silent cry of pain and some Hp, but I pass next to another man armed with a rifle that did not expect to see me there. I grabbed one of the [Embers of Rancor] and slice the hand holding the rifle. I then stab him under the jaw, all over the skull, then catch his weapon.

(Finally a gun ...)

The kobold and I continue running between the trees, avoiding shots, fireballs and arrows, until finally we go to the side of the building, safe from fire.

"- Inukami! Come to me ! "I huddle to the Wolf kobold while I hide behind a tree.

He joins me immediately while the goblins are still under human fire.

"-Help me keep the rifle steady ! "

Yes, I intend to shoot. I only have two cartridges so I have to make sure they hit, but with that the goblins will hesitate to pursue me.

(At least that's the plan ...)

I place the rifle that Inukami supports while staying behind the tree, and we wait for the goblins to be at optimal range for shooting.

An arrow ends up in the tree, right next to my head, but I'm still waiting because the one I want is exactly that damn archer. He notches a new arrow while approaching us ...

* Bang *

"- GIIIIIIIIIIII! "

He is the one screaming this time. The shot tore off the arm that held the bow, this dirty creature thought to dodge at the last moment, and so instead of making a hole in his c.h.e.s.t, I managed to mutilate his arm.

(Shit, a lost cartridge !)

The goblins, however, stop and look at one of their leaders who is now missing an arm. The second hobgoblin reacts first and shouts orders to others. Quickly I see them support their wounded and leave, not without the mage gives me a hateful look, and another to the town hall.

"- Gigi, hogi ra gulgi! " He told me.

"- Yeah yeah whatever, I'm waiting for you here with my kin , dirty green-skinned ! " I answer him.

Although I did not understand what he told me, he understood me just now. He pulls new balls of fire at me and the town hall then leaves with the others.

(I accomplished my goal ... now I have to leave before the other humans ... shit they're here!)

From the opposite angle to that of which I had just passed appeared a dozen armed men, including the one I had seen at the property and who had proposed that we join them.

Inukami and I start again zigzagging between the trees, but this time we go to the walls that surround the area of ​​the town hall, they are not higher than the ones we have at home and besides they are closer than the entry we took before. The kobold will help me to pass over them...

The latter understands when he sees the wall and goes forward to allow me to take support on him and jump over the wall. I sat up and using my valid hand I help him up, then we go down before running towards the house, not without taking detours of course, just in case.

We finally arrive in sight of the house, there is no more goblin nor men who patrol and can therefore go directly in by jumping the wall.

Inside the property now, we see with amazement human bodies and goblins in the garden and the portal is smashed.

My blood goes on full throttle.

Without a word we run to our home, but as soon as I get close I see something, from the corner of the eye, shining from the window. I stop and jump back, and an arrow is planted where I should have been if I had continued.

"- No stop! It's Lukas! "

I recognize the voice of my sister!

(Thanks God...)
