My arms are tight, coiled together, I can feel my triceps scratching against the bones inside his skull.
I try to pull them out, the soup of viscuous dead body parts make it smooth.
My arms aren't red, they are....what even is supposed to be this mix of color?
I want to puke again, malfoy already doing it.
"See that was a dumb idea"
I hear a muffled "no regret"
We need to get ready, like fast, do the others heard that?
Fuck, every goblins must be awake by now.
That was reckless, we should have waited longer.
My hands, sticky, slimey, and wet clutch onto the dessecrated head of the hulk, his head from top to bottom, do the size of my legs, his head reach the top of my fucking knee lying down. Jumping on said head, I worm my way in the rubbles, throwing shit out to find my spear.
I know the system said something about cycling, and other shit, but I don't care, I need this spear, now.
"Malfoy, come help me, we have goblins to kill" soon enough, we're both trying to get our weapons, and as I finnally see my shaft, unbroken?
How did it survived that?
No matter, I grab the shaft and feel the most strange sensation, I've felt for a while.
It feel horrible, disgusting, slimey, like something has been taken away from me, like I've just been robbed by Twitchy and I couldn't do shit about it [please do not try putting claimed items in your inventory]
What?
Malfoy ride the dead body and rubble, grabbing his hilt with two hands before deadlifting this shit out of hulk back.
He doesn't seems to have any problem with that.
I grab the shaft again, and this slimly feeling get back to me, fucking annoying. [please do not try putting claimed items in your inventory] shut up already, this shit mine fucker, I feel like I'm cleaning out entrails as I keep my hands on my shaft and pull and pull, muscles tear out of the goblin neck, and I pull and pull.
Soon enough, the spear is out of his body, and when it's out, this horrible sensation dissapear, remplaced with a spear that pop out in my inventory.
Another day, another mystery.
The sounds of goblins screaming, and steps coming closer to us snaps me out of my reverie.
Blinking hard, I slide down this giant body. My spear appear in front of my body, I catch it, tight, even with all this shit on me, malfoy jump at my side and start walking beside me, fucking show off.
I don't speak, he don't speak, I look at him, he look at me, and we start jogging toward the sounds.
Turn left, keep up the run, one on right....and there are dead goblins everywhere in the big cafetaria.
Looks like the others managed to kill a lot of them while they were sleeping, good to know our walk to the trap took that long.
Turning toward the opening in the wall, we speed up, I think? I run faster than malfoy for sure, and I'm not stopping, my hair is fucking flying everywhere, I need a way to tie it, where are my hair ties actually?
I don't think about how my body jump onto propped rubbles, one step after an another, I don't think about it.
But I for sure feel myself flying as I jump in the hole wall, landing on more rubble, I barely catch myself on my feet, and not even a second after I'm back to the run.
On the grass now.
Running toward a tent, no sound coming from it anymore.
I barge in.
"AH FUCK!" Annie scream first as I litterally fall down inside the tent, slipping on some blood, I slam into my shoulder, do a strange kinda roll, ignore the achy shoulder and jump up on my feet again.
My eyes land on the bloody barlow in front of me, I look at him, and he nod, I hear malfoy entering in the tent just after me in a way calmer fashion.
"Are you fine?" I'm obviously fine that was nothing but a fall, wait who said that?
I glance left and see someone I can't recognize, oh wait, I do. Why does jenna look like she bathed in the blood of her enemies?
"Yeah, wait, why?" I point at Jenna, before my head move around like a drone with assisted aimbot, I find two dead goblins, one that look like a pierced ballon, lots, and lots, and lots of hole. And the other beat up under barlow shield.
My finger follow my gaze as I point at everything, asking this famous question.
Wait, do they understand what I'm asking, I feel like they don't understand, wait how can I ask that? "they woke up with that scream, those were the two last ones." Barlow speak up, and now I get it.
So, they killed everyone but two, then we took care of hulk, and then they woke up, but they killed the two alone.
I stay silent and just stare at everyone.
"So, how did it go?" Jenna ask and malfoy say "extremely well"
My head do a 360 no scope till I see him, the fuck he's talking about!?
"great!"
Jenna answer enthusiasticly, way too enthusiascly, isn't filling the silence annie job usually? A quick glance at annie show her...fine, clearly not in her usual mood, and she have the least blood on her, but she seems fine.
That's Jenna who look different.
I'm not joking when I said she's, COVERED, in blood, worse than balrow for sure, and waaaaay worse than annie, they all chatter for a while as I just stand here, blinking, ears ringing for some reason.
What the fuck is happening?
[Congratulation! You finished the archer challenge!]
That's all?
"Pretty dry congratulations" annie mumble, I agree.
Then I see barlow nod at something malfoy said, am I the only one worried about all that blood on jenna? She's like... "Yeah! It was pretty easy really, you guys had the hard job." Really happy? It was easy to kill goblins you said?
I think I underestimated jenna, a lot.
"It was not as hard as you would believe, Ludger and I did a splendid job taki-!" "did you cycled?" I interupt malfoy and he turn his head toward me "Yes I did, look at your status"
"Cycled?"
I ignore what malfoy explain to the others as my status appear in front of my eyes, in a wish.

"Oh I see, my essence is almost full too!" I can hear jenna say that, but I'm too busy, dealing with...this.
Wait, did I get an item? A strange necklace with a teeth, a long vampric teeth around it, pop in front of my belly, I catch it and look at it...I want to know all about it.
[Orcish necklace: prized possesion of orcs, more teeth, more glory! Who shall kill the more beasts! Fill this necklace with teeth to receive more and more bonus!

"What's that?" Annie ask, and malfoy as if anticipating what happened roll his eyes "and I don't even get an item, you are truly favored." I give malfoy the finger before putting the necklace on my neck "Don't use the necklace during wrestling, it will make you believe unrealistic standards if it really improve your strength"
Annie speak after hearing malfoy words. "What? Oh right, the inspect thingy"
I move my limbs around, and don't feel any different.
"SO THAT'S HOW YOU GAIN POINTS!" Annie fucking scream, as malfoy talk about what we gained, but. I just, don't feel different, max strength is like...powerlifting kinda shit isn't it? Should I try a difficult movement? Like what? Should I deadlift the giant body or something?
It may actually be a good idea.
I hear an old voice "Don't you forgot about something Jenna?" Balrow speak up and suddenly Jenna, look at him, and frown, confused about what he's talking about. Balrow don't show any outside reaction as we all wait for the answer of what he's talking about.
He speak up again to say "didn't you received something too?" Her eyes go wide and with a small smile, she clap her hand, blood splatter on the ground. "Right! I got a skill!"
A what now?
