The voices of rleen resounded behind , but I kept sprinting forward. rleen had the right to get mad. However, I did not want to run away and save myself anymore.
If I have these powers, I plan to use them for good. Superheroes in the movies did the best they could to stop the bad guys. It was my dream to be like them soday, helping the good and vanquishing the evil.
And yet, I did not have any attributes that those heroes possessed. I even killed Aferous.
"So this ti I want to change my world! I want to change!" My mind shouted, as I kept dashing inside the unexplored woodland.
If I could see soone who needed help, I would lend them my hand It was the right thing for to do.
As soon as I stepped foot on the battlefield, my eyes widened, and my body froze like a statue. It beca difficult for to comprehend the situation, especially when the scene's elents include the humans and monsters battling each other.
However, it was not just that. The wails I heard earlier ca from the monsters and not from these humans. With one glance, I knew who had the upper hand.
"W-What are you doing!" I asked the man holding a sword.
There were five n and five won ard with various weapons. All of them had eyes bathed with killing intentions against these wolves howling in pain.
Those beasts that the humans dealt with were not even dire wolves or demonic entities. These hounds looked more like stray dogs found outside of the streets, ungrood and defenceless.
As I gazed at the pups, the gigantic dog, whom I assud was their mother, went in front of her children. She did not want to attack or do anything to harm the humans. In my eyes, that mother wolf only planned on defending her offspring.
I would bet that if the mother wolf found an opening to escape, that guardian would drag all the puppies outside of this battle and retreat. That parent only wanted her pups to escape death.
As a human, an act of sympathy erged around my heart.
"Who are you? Are you a bandit?" The man I asked turned to and pointed his bastard sword. "We do not expect any reinforcents coming from the rcenaries guild."
It did not look like the man in front of was a soldier, since his dress did not have any tal chains and mithril armours. That man's squad also had the sa gears with no added features. They also did not look like otherworld travellers like or bandits that wanted to wreak havoc in this forest.
I could only guess that these people were rcenaries by a kingdom. However, upon looking at my map, there was nothing my eyes could see but trees! And more trees if I scrolled and expanded the map's view!
In the ga of Magique, rcenaries were not rare to find. Those were the ones that new players could hire throughout the journey. The veteran adventurers, like , knew how these rcenaries operated.
Around ninety percent of rcenaries would ditch the adventurers or steal their loot if they had the ti. They would also kill anyone behind the back if they found an opportunity. It was all over the community when these rcenaries had gotten out of hand.
Those warriors may have elite status power, status points, and abilities, but most players did not trust them. There could be other soldiers of fortune that would help newbie players.
But those rcenaries were even rarer than gold.
"I am just a traveller who heard the noise. And what do you think you're doing with those defenceless animals?! Those puppies can't fight anymore! Their mother is desperately protecting her children!" I shouted, hoping to make sense out of these war freak people.
However, it did not surprise when the man in front of charged straight in my direction. He wielded his sword like it was nothing but a stick and went aggressive towards .
The man's slash aid for my neck, yearning to take my life. He did not even hold back his strength since his eyes told it all.
My body was slick as a sponge as I evaded the attack. I wanted to parry the strike, but I couldn't at my current level. That man in front of was not stronger than Uruk-hai, but he was still a capable man that could stand on his own grounds.
"I thought you were a villager. But with those moves, maybe you're an adventurer," the man remarked, with a grin carved on his face. "You're not bad but not good, either."
After fighting demonic beasts that wiped out the entire town within re seconds, clashing swords against a man toned down the difficulty of this fight... And no matter how hard I tried looking at the bigger picture, there was no window for to win against this fight. If I could compare the statistical power between him and mine, I would definitely lose the battle.
I could only stall for ti for the wolves to run away. But there were ten of them and one of . This battle ain't a walk in a park, except if that park was actually hell.
"Find other beasts and let these wolves live. There's no rit in killing them!" I shouted, wishing that they would think this through.
Despite my attempts, the man dashed straight towards for the nth ti and tried slashing with the sa attack. This rcenary still held back his powers, regardless of fighting . I, too, did not want to show my trump card, since there were nine of the man's allies watching the battle.
It was a good thing that the mother wolf stood its ground and fought the remaining party mbers. The groups' leader wanted to have a little fun with and let his teammates do whatever they wanted with the beasts.
Monsters were like dirt in this world. They did nothing but destroy villages and kill other creatures for their entertainnt. These characteristics showed when I fought against the monster horde that destroyed rleen's and my town.
But I could not let this scene slide, considering that these humans attacked such defenceless creatures. Although there were wild, dire wolves that would attack random people, these hounds looked different. Among their peers, they did not have nacing looks in their eyes.
The event challenged my morality, as I beca unsure who to save.
I could provide help for these strangers and strain the wolves. But that would just an I would kill the puppies' mother and leave them all alone in this dark forest. If those young wolves strengthened their bodies, they would seek revenge against humans.
It was a never-ending cycle of hatred, after all.
And if I sided with the wolves, I would make an enemy out of these people. I did not want to kill them. But if I let them free, this man's group would retreat to the kingdom and would rember my face.
If that happens, my future could turn grim, but I would save this wolf's family.
"What would a real hero do in this situation?" I asked, but there was nobody there to give an answer.
I was all alone in this world, striving to live and et my goal. However, this path I took hindered from moving forward or was it my mind who hauled back?
Every ti I took one step forward, my body moved three steps back. I couldn't escape my nightmare, considering the power that I had.
If I was an overpowered being, I could have helped both sides. I could have stopped the fight and pound so sense into these rcenaries.
But I couldn't.
I brushed those trivial thoughts aside and focused on what was in front of . There was no point in staying in that imaginative world. All I needed to do right now was to make sothing right.
The justice I believed would be the correct answer I hoped so.
I leapt from the ground and went to the wolves' front. Like the characters in the movie, I slowly turned around and extended my arms. If modern people on Earth saw , they would chuckle up a storm.
But hell do I care about them! My actions looked superb in my eyes.
"I will ask you once more Leave these wolves alone."
Right after finishing my sentence, the mother wolf's paw slamd into my back, forcing to tumble at the sides. As soon as my body struck against the rock, an instinctive screech escaped from my mouth. My body trembled in pain, with my limbs begging for so rest ti.
"Fuck, that hurt! And here I thought you would realise what I've done!" Despite playing the hero, the mother wolf saw as a threat. I cannot bla the beast, considering that I was still a human in her eyes.
