Fight

///

Calmly sitting in his room, Arthur was playing with the little spirit. Slowly bonding with her as she was a box of happy emotions.

'Well, I should check in the tower for now. Didn't visit that spot for week.' Thinking to himself, Chroma sat on his shoulder as the two disappeared from his room and appeared in middle of Second Floor. Looking around, he spotted... Few slimes compared to previous floors, as they already started hopping towards him. And Goblins moving in small groups from 3-6. 

"I should first test your strength, right Chroma?" Looking at her she cutely nod her head as the slimes all hopped closer. "Try shooting the green one's core." Pointing at one slime. Chroma rose her hand towards it as it suddenly was cleaved in half from above, the core inside it being completely destroyed.

[ Your spirit earned some experience ]

"That's strong, how many more can you shoot before rest?" Asking her the question, she showed five with her one hand. Nodding he swiped freely with his hand as all remaining few slimes changed into a simple floating orb around him. "I'll support you, let's try fighting some goblins." Chroma smiled at his suggestion as the slime ball changed its shape into a single rope-like chain.

'Let's see... That group of Goblins is a 5, which is equal to how many times can Chroma use her Wind Slashes before needing to rest... But...' He looked down on his hand, as a small image of his own stomach being pierced by lance flashed. 'What if I can't bear to my sanity after killing a goblin? A living thing? What if Chroma can't?' Standing up. He clenched his palm steadily around his sword as the Goblins were currently resting. With two of them on watch. 

"Tower. Give me information on nearby players and on those Goblins." Speaking to himself. Chroma lightly touched his cheek in confusion.

[Nearest Player is 60 meters away]

[Goblin

 Str: 3, Agi: 9, Con: 6

 Int: 2, Wis: 2, Sen: 9 ]

'Total of 31. And it's freaking fast. Faster than me.' Looking at his sword, he then looked at Chroma. "Attack one, I'll attack another. Let's each kill them two at once if we can for surprise." Calmly explaining to her. She nodded as a small gust-like green glow appeared around her.

[ Chroma's next magical attack has been increased due to her Master's encouragement. ]

Reading the message he slowly walked towards the Goblins. 'So I'm a Summoner with Buffing? Or what? Since it will affect my Class. Nevermind.' Shooking his head he looked towards the Goblins. As one of them suddenly turned to him, as the space between them was around 5 meters. "Shoot him." Muttering to Chroma, suddenly a giant green wind slash appeared and went for the goblin as Arthur made a rush forward creating a fire bolt in his left hand and throwing it at the other awake Goblin.

"Piece of shit!" He shouted after releasing the <fire bolt> and grabbing his sword with both hands. As he bolted towards them, as suddenly one of the goblin's ugly face burst in pieces of meat, brain matter, blood and pure gore.

...

Everything momentarily stopped, as if time itself had halted in Arthur eyes. There was no fear his eyes, no shaking in them nor his whole body. Instead...

Calmness.

A pure sea of calmness.

His resolve, his mind, nothing wavered as the time resumed. One of the goblins was throwing the flames off his wooden club while other three woke up.

Chroma also looked calm, as if it was everyday thing like breathing for her as she sent another wind slash, this time at the Goblin that was previously burnt a little bit by Arthur as he slashed towards one of the goblins which tried picking themselves up.

Red liquid burst from that goblin as the sword effortlessly sliced through its neck, while the wind slash landed on the other goblin.

Meanwhile, the two other Goblins successfully stood up with their weapons and rushed against their aggressor. Meanwhile the slime above him condensed into two spear-like dagger and were instantly launched like cannonballs into them. Stabbing each of them into stomach as their veins became more visible and slightly purple.

As they got closer, ignoring all signs of pain. Both of them swung at Arthur simultaneously as he barely had time to block them.

His blade managed to block one of the clubs as other hit his side. "Fu-" As he released a half-grunt. At that specific moment the Goblin's chest literally exploded into sliced up pieces from Chroma's attack as Arthur placed his other hand on the mace and ignited it ablaze through <Fire Bolt>.

"That hurt." He said and kicked that Goblin straight at its ugly face as he slashed at its head. But the Goblin managed to block it with its burning mace as its face suddenly exploded into bits.

Arthur and Chroma stared at it, both of them tired. And covered in blood, brain matter, flesh, bone pieces. "Aren't you... huff... kinda op?" He stared at her as she released a yawn.

"I guess... I'll check the exp later, and seeing no card drops... I'll just go home for now." He muttered to himself and pressed on the system button as he left the place and appeared in his home, completely dirtied with blood.
