Chapter 7 - Ruined Temple

As its head turned to the opposite side. Alex quickly jumped towards its left side and took out the remaining leg with a thrust of the spear.

As the leg was torn, the spider screamed. As it tried to attack, Alex flipped it upside down through the spear. Now the spider could not move at all. There were no legs on one side.

Seeing this, Alex charged the flamethrower with all of its mana, compressed it and fired it at point-blank range at the soft spot.

BOOOOOOM---

The spell hit it at the Centre of the spider. The sound was so loud the entire forest shook from it. And Alex, by being near it from the shock wave alone he was pushed back and was slammed to a tree near it, and his hand was charred black and could not move it. 

Then the stench hit his nose of raw flesh, web and poison burning together. make me want to puke.

After some time, I bought a healing medicine from the store and moved forward, as the stench was uncomfortable.

After recovering again, I started moving east. While I was going, I heard the sound.

Rustle--, Rustle--

From the bushes emerged the three humanoid figures, which were short, green skinned and had short hands and legs. I had seen them before. They were goblins.

In their hands, they had short swords and bow and arrows, and they were mischievously looking at the carcass of the bird and then at me.

As I was eyeing them, the third goblin launched an arrow from behind. Seeing this, I ran behind a tree and hid. Then the cloak activated; I became invisible.

Seeing this, the goblins got startled. They started searching for me. While I was waiting for an opening. After searching for a few minutes, the goblin with swords went back, while the others went toward the corpse and waited.

Seeing this, I slowly went towards them. And take the spear in one lunge, I took the goblin with an arrow down. I aimed at its chest. It screamed, warning the other one . As I attacked, my invisibility was undone it and it would take another 5 seconds to activate.

Seeing its partner die, the other goblin ran toward me with its sword. As it came running, it fell from the rock between us. It landed at my feet, and I swung my spear down at its head.

Blood spurted from its neck. And again I was dirty. While I thought it was over and turned back.

Badump, Badump, Badump. My heart started to beat loudly as I saw more than 30 goblins staring while I was having my little hunt.

[ Host, run fast; there are 63 tier one common goblins and 3 tier two goblin shamans]

Hearing the voice, my blood ran cold, and I thought, 'What the fuck? Why is the whole goblin village here to raid or something? '

He started thinking he didn't need to escape; he needed to outsmart 66 goblins because his cloak would make him invisible. And as - ' then his thoughts were interrupted as 6 goblins started running towards him with their swords.

As he was distracted by the goblins, 4 arrows came towards him; 2 arrows missed him, while the 3rd arrow hit his right shoulder and the 4th directly stuck in his thigh. As it stuck, he screamed, but didn't have time to take it out. As he started running.

Swish--

A slash came from his left side; thankfully, it just grazed his back a little. Then, seeing this, the shamans started casting a fire spell. 

 SWOOSH--BOOOOM--

He narrowly escaped the fireball and started running through the forest. Looking back, he saw that an area of 250 meters was on fire. Several trees were burning, but surprisingly it was helpful for him as he was going through the forest. The shamans threw fireballs and started a fire, which burned down some of their own goblins. 

Seeing this, he also bought 4 mana potions from stores, which were 200 SP, which he got from killing the spider and drank them. Then

He also started spamming flamethrower at the nearby goblins, and the trees and the surrounding areas. Then also some arrows grazed him. This continued for the next 2 hours like that, and his Crucking Cloak artifact was gone.

Alex, seeing the cloak, said You were first, so don't worry; I will not throw you. And now the goblin that thinned to less than 20 . as running i filled only 10 to 12 goblins. Then, also looking back at the forest, it was one hell of a scene. 

Smoke was rising in large quantities. Beasts were burning alive. The air reeked of ash and scorched wood; the heat in the forest was increasing and came towards my skin from every direction.

CRACK!!

A burning branch snapped and crashed to the ground.

As I was seeing this, I don't know why I was proud because I escaped the horde of goblins, or maybe because I burned down the forest on the second day I came, or I was simply happy seeing the scene.

Leaving the scene, he moved forward, as the fire could catch on and burn him also. As he was going, he saw something which looked like a temple. It was made up of stone, and the surrounding area was very silent. It was covered with long trees and bushes. As i move towards its stone door, which was covered with thick vines and Green moss.

As I entered, I saw strange symbols on each side of the wall; then I asked the system if it knew something.

[ No, it seems like a language foreign to Solara]

Does that mean it is not a language from Solara?

[Yes]

 Hearing it, his curiosity takes over, and he goes forward. Then, at the Centre of the temple, he sees four enormous stone pillars standing. Each pillar occupied one corner of a perfect square, their surfaces covered in ancient runes and symbols. And between the four pillars, there was a circular rune with a complex design and at the Centre was a design which looked like a heart.

As he stepped onto the stage.

Suddenly—

a Strange light glowed, and it enveloped the entire area. And Alex was gone.
