13 Magne (1/2)
After a brief minute, two green goblins turned their attention in his direction. Liu Jun took a deep breath, and he tightly squeezed his broomstick. At the same time, his best friend walked to his side.
Huang Dong laughed, ”Just some level-one noobs. Let's farm these monsters and level up, eh? We used to conquer entire bosses; this much is nothing!”
”True. If I get low on HP, you better heal me!” Liu Jun laughed as well, and he relaxed a bit. Feeling the pressure lessening from his shoulders, he decisively held his weapon ready to attack. Meanwhile, the beautiful Qian Xue also firmly clenched her broomstick.
Ignoring the nearby screams, Liu Jun scrutinized the two goblins. Seeing their earlier attacks, the goblins likely had strength greater than the average human, but it would not be by much. With a weapon, he was more confident in battling the abnormal creature.
A short breath later, the two goblins charged at the trio. Lifting the broomstick like a sword, Liu Jun stood resolutely, and he swung at the closest goblin. Shocked, he discovered that his attack did not have much effect.
In the meantime, Huang Dong also swung his metal bat at the other goblin's head, and it merely made a tiny dent. The green goblin did not even wobble; instead, it grinned in response. Its murderous eyes scared the trio.
”Shit! These little f*ckers hardly take damage.” Huang Dong cursed, and he tried to take another swing, but the bat was caught by the green goblin. Noticing the looming danger, he tried to back off; however, the goblin was too fast. The incoming nails were already nearing his face.
”Brother Dong!” Liu Jun hurriedly intercepted the goblin, but this left him vulnerable to the goblin he was facing initially. Luckily, Qian Xue noticed his crisis, and she swung her broomstick at the goblin's feet. This tripped the goblin up, but the action seemed to only make it angrier.
”Thanks!” Smiling at his lover, Liu Jun blocked the nails with his stick, and he batted the goblin's hand away. Looking at his friend, he noticed visible sweat trickling off his face.
”That was close…” Huang Dong mumbled. Likely, after that bout with death, he had realized the true implications of this apocalypse. It was too dangerous. What about his classmates, friends, and family?
Thinking to this point, Huang Dong quietened down, but he still smiled at his friend. ”What next?”
”I think… we need to run.” Liu Jun muttered. He had created some distance between themselves and the goblins, but it was not much. At most, there were a few seconds before another bout.
”To where? These monsters are everywhere!” Qian Xue cried out. While the goblins were distracted, she had speedily taken a glimpse outside, and she discovered that the monsters were looming all over the campus!
”It will be fine.' Liu Jun tried to calm his lover down, but Qian Xue continued to fearfully tremble. At this point, she would be useless fighting the monsters. If one was distracted, it would be too easy to make a life-threatening mistake.
”Bro, it was fun being your friend.” At the same time, Huang Dong smiled. His words of 'goodbye' exhibited that he did not have much faith either. Seemingly, their world had come to an abrupt end.
”It's not over!” Liu Jun roared. How could things end this way? It was unfair! He could not accept it… no, he would not accept it! Lifting his broomstick once more, he rushed at the two goblins. But, this time, he attacked the eyes of the goblin.
”Bam!”
Upon collision, the goblin collapsed. With Liu Jun's attack, the goblin was covering its eyes in pain. After this discovery, he roared out at the top of his voice so that everyone could hear, ”Attack the eyes! It's their weak spot!”
This loud voice reverberated across the entire gymnasium, and some of them followed his advice. With the first-person taking lead, more and more people started to attack the monster's eyes. Fortunately, Liu Jun had shouted this fact out. Now, the students could fight back!
”Die!” Liu Jun continued batting at the kneeling goblin. After his relentless attacks, the light in the goblin's inky eyes slowly faded, and he heard a loud 'ding!' in his head.
”Congratulations to player 'Liu Jun' for successfully killing the white-portal mob. As a reward, five attribute points have been awarded.” This message rung once, and Liu Jun turned ecstatic. It really was like a game! Now, with the stat increase, he could fight back!
”Add five attribute points to power!” Liu Jun hastily thought.
