Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 struggle, new ability? a surprise~

what's a man got to do to survive when he's surrounded by bloodthirsty monsters?

well, nothing much really other than fight for dear life!

the fallen Shaman's name is YOK'TA that entitled himself as THE BOLD was a 5-foot tall red man wearing a loincloth stained with blood with a large staff in one hand and a curved blade in the other unlike the regular 'fallen shamans' he was bald with an ugly face, leading a relatively large group with 20 fallen these guys looked like little red demonic men donning a small shield, with a scimitar, and a loincloth, with long black hair tied in a ponytail with their height being from 3 feet tall to 4 feet according to how strong they were.

As a fifteen Quill rats obeyed him, blocking Walter's escape routes as some flying monsters that were called blood hawks arrived and there were only six of them but under the commands of Yok'ta, the usually random and 'simple' to kill monsters became well-coordinated.

With Him being surrounded by these monster, Walter is going to have one hell of a time, so he 'summoned' the monster he had with him as he also noticed another thing the monster he brought forth may be 'physically' here, however, it was also a spiritual being there was a name for such beings but he just wasn't able to give time to remember as the enemy quill rats began their barrage as he did a barrel roll to dodge most of the projectiles.

Some of them managed to hit him and a few of them managed to leave some injuries luckily for him the ring on his finger glimmered for a bit alerting him that it just helped him against some poison which made things more complicated as the poison from regular quill rats were something that he was 'made' resistant to thanks to Silvia's handiwork of constantly poisoning him during training, the shaman sported a shit-eating grin which meant something else, this bastard made his own and applied it on the quill rats.

"ђ๏๏๏ђ Շ๏ Շђเภк ՇђคՇ ץ๏ย ђคשє ค гเภﻮ ๏Ŧ ק๏เร๏ภ гєรเรՇคภςє, ฬєɭɭ ภ๏ ๓คՇՇєг ɭєՇ ยร รєє ןยรՇ ђ๏ฬ ๓ยςђ ק๏เร๏ภ เՇ ςคภ ђคภ๔ɭє! ๒ยՇ ŦเгรՇ, ɭєՇ'ร Շคкє ςคгє ๏Ŧ ץ๏ยг קєรкץ קєՇ!"

Walter's companion separated from him to lessen his burden as it now killed one of the blood hawks clamping its jaws down on the beast's neck before evading a fireball which roasted the remains of the dead beast, it headed towards its next victim which was a fellow quill rat as they fired towards its body but their attempts were futile as it was a spiritual monster as the attacks went through its body!

But Walter was also staying on the move as he threw some of his darts and knives to lessen the number of the troublesome monsters but his momentary distraction of culling their numbers allowed the group fallen minions box him in!

he readied his blade, with a few throwing knives between his fingers, as they moved in a strange reducing the areas he could attack as they hid behind their shields all while closing in so in desperation he charged forward before getting a scimitar stab through his left arm as he slammed into the shield as the fallen had a good amount of strength to resist but its feet still dragged against the ground thanks to the weight difference between the two then he put more of his strength into the bodyslam which sent the owner of the weapon that was now stuck in his left arm flying!

This allowed him to understand the among of strength they had roughly three-fourths of his current strength and his weight was also his advantage. as he rushed out of the encirclement his left side was met with a burning explosion!

He was sent rolling along the ground as the scimitar that was also hit went flying as a long gash was left from where it came from, the wind was knocked out of him as the world seemed to be spinning for him.

but the scream of pain had awakened him from his stupor before he looked towards the source of the sudden noise as Yok'ta received a few quills to the face making his face uglier than it was already!

Walter's companion was bigger than before hell bigger than the regular quill rats by more than double as it looked even more frightening than when he fought against it before it became whatever it was to him this he made a quick check on a certain skill.

the changes were interesting as more letters were added as it turned out six of the quill rats were now dead and the pebble they had were collected but he was more interested in other addition at the end.

thinking that it might be some kind of magic he aimed at the fallen minions that were heading over to protect their leader something that all Fallen minions had ingrained into them instinctively.

He whispered it out as it didn't occur like what he was familiar with his palm pointing towards the intended target as his forefinger warped as pain shot through it taking 10 health points in one go but the power itself behind that 'shot' even if it was accidental, the silent projectile caused an unlucky blood hawk to get hit on the chest and cave-in upon contact killing it just like that!

leaving two more of the blood hawks that were now hesitant to attack thanks to his silent ability that killed one of them so easily.

but he quickly collected himself as this was a life or death battle even if his finger looked like a bullet chamber of a gun so he aimed his fingers towards the next target being careful this time as something told him that the 'quill' was something else from his finger!

After quickly preparing himself as his companion was going through a bloodbath, Walter whispered again as this time his middle finger suffered the same experience as earlier and claimed the life of one of the fallen that were trying to shield Yok'ta as the shaman ripped the quills from out of his face in anger as the companion of Walter dissolved into a mist before rushing into his chest!

The shaman snarled towards Walter as he began making a hasty retreat while leaving a few words as the strange ability he showed earlier was too dangerous for him.

"ŦɭเՇђץ ђย๓คภ! เ'ɭɭ гєՇгєคՇ Ŧ๏г ภ๏ฬ ๒ยՇ ς๏ภรเ๔єг ץ๏ยгรєɭŦ ɭยςкץ! คร เ ฬเɭɭ кเɭɭ ץ๏ย ร๏๏ภєг ๏г ɭคՇєг!"

Walter, on the other hand, was more worried about his new comrade in arms as he was trying to check its condition as the emotions it was making feel was hunger and pain, as the untouched corpses of the quill rats were something that it was begging him to dismantle.

He headed towards the corpses as the two blood hawks were still trying to figure out what should they do since the one that 'led' them suddenly broke the connection that they had and left, but they thoughts were interrupted by Walter with a few knives that knocked them down to the ground.

Walter was just being cautious as he didn't know that these two monsters were abandoned so after making quick work of them he looked for the tradable parts and the pebbles he found 3 more of them from the leftover corpses of the quill rats and oddly enough four from the blood hawks, as for the fallen minion everything it had was useless.

He decided to rest up and attend to his injuries as he held an open health potion with his teeth, slowly sipping at it as he prepared a few kits and bandages as health potions in this world can heal simple wounds easily, however, injuries like what his left arm currently had required some bandaging before pouring some potions on it then a night er, a good rest since it's always night around this area.

After he was tending to his injuries, oddly enough the 'pebbles' that were collected from the blood hawks seemed delectable to him... making him unable to relax at first he was disgusted with the idea of eating a damned pebble but curiosity has gotten the best of him as pangs of hunger it was giving him was unbearable thus he tosses one into his mouth, only that other than the faint taste of blood it was bland.

but the next thing surprised Walter as the 'pebble' changed into some kind of liquid before experiencing something that he'll remember until the end of his life as he felt like something within him was constantly growing and shrinking!
