A group of grey demonic creatures sit on top of the female teacher, gnashing and gnawing on chunks of her raw flesh, they rip and hack pieces off her body and scoffed down with a look of ecstasy as her blood trickled down from the monsters' gnarled teeth like a crimson waterfall slowly dripping from its deformed chin and onto the floor with a light dripping noise.
"My god!"
Kain stumbles backwards, cupping his hand around his mouth and shaking slightly out of shock. His knuckles turn white as his grip on the knife tightens, the creatures turn, staring with pupils the colour of pus and teeth of similar colour. They begin to scale the stairs, clambering over each other with vigorous speed, letting out nasally giggles and snicker as they climb closer to Kain.
His thick legs vigorously twitch and writhe unconsciously, dragging him along. He slams into the wall as he reaches the end of the corridor leaving a dent as he pushes back off the wall and makes a sharp turn around the corner to be met with a chubby teacher fending off a single creature with several others dressed in a school uniform with nothing but a small plastic chair. His fat hands practically pour with sweat as he flails the improvised shield in the vague direction of the creature which continuously grows more annoyed at each failed swing of its crude axe.
"Hey, behind you!"
Kain screams shaking the halls with his booming voice, a woman with bright blonde hair appears from the other side of the corridor and rams a sword through the stomach of the monster, she shoves her foot on its head pulling it off the blade and rushes towards Kain at the sight of those demonic creatures turn the corner with a barely contained lustful look of hunger across their wrinkly, distorted faces.
The woman blitzes past Kain, her hair flowing past his face as she readies the sword, aiming it at the horde of tiny creatures hacking and slashing through three and sliding past the others in an instant, the remaining beasts turn toward her with a wild cackle of joy. Upon seeing the sight of her exposed back, Kain's arm twitches with vigour like his legs had shortly before, he springs into action, running his dagger through the nape of the first creature leaving it paralysed on the floor. The others turn letting our gasps and screeches at the sight of Kains towering figure stood over their dead comrade.
"Goblin on your right!"
Kain turns to his right to see the gray creature swinging its crude sword. He blocks the swing with his knife, chipping a large piece of the edge as they clash. He grabs it by the throat and squeezes until a wet crunch followed by a hollow gurgle fills his ears. He turns plunging the chipped dagger into the heart of a Goblin stunned by pure fear, its small arms pluck at the handle as Kain twists it off leaving what's left of the fragile stone knife drowned in the pouring crimson spewing from the creature's throat. The stunned silence is only broken by movement from the stairwell doorway.
[quest]
Kill 10 monsters- 4/10
Reward: ???
The screen floats in front of him, slowly vanishing back into the air. As Kain sits in the puddle of blood slowly spreading out from what is left of the monsters and dyeing his clothes red. A larger creature covered in hair appears surrounded by goblins slowly lumbers around the corner towards an open door into the hallway, its body is covered in long shaggy hair, its eyes like saucers and its arms drag across the floor as it shifts the large uncomfortable body through the doorway and stretches out standing upright in the corridor letting out countless clicks and cracks from its distorted joints.
The crowd of goblins push against each other squeezing into the hallway past the grotesque beast covered in shaggy black hair, their little sickly gray faces contort into a sinister grin upon seeing the students huddled together at the end, only Kain and the swords woman stand between the small horde and their fellow classmates. The room fills with a painfully cold atmosphere as the two fighters step forward towards the goblins with slow deliberate steps.
"What's your name?"
A horrified look overcomes the stoic blank stare as she stares down at kains hands still clutching the handle of the knife so hard his knuckles had turned white.
"Kain but why does that matter right now?"
He turns with a confused stare as the goblins slowly approach with their weapons drawn and small bodies twitching with anticipation. A cold atmosphere swallows up the room like a hungry predator as the woman turns back to them clutching her sword with a vitriolic smile.
"My names Eira thanks for asking"
She breathes out letting a fog of air spill from her mouth and vanish into the air as ice formations begin appearing on the windows, scrolling leaf like patterns across the now frosted windows.
Eira bursts forward slicing the arm off of a goblin as it swings a club towards her, its flailing arm flogs on the floor along its weapon as Kain follows shortly behind her, she flies forward finding empty spots amongst the crowd of demonic gray monsters and darting closer and closer to the hairy creature with anger so volatile the ice begins to melt into a puddle of water.
Kain's shin connects with the jaw of the demented little creature sending it careening toward the wall smashing into it and rag dolling to the floor with a loud silence followed by the outraged screeching of the goblin mob. The infuriated creatures charge at him swinging swords and clubs with such vigor only for the ball of Kains foot to leave a dent in the top of the leader of the charge leaving cross eyed and twitching on the floor.
The convulsing goblin relinquishes its wood splintering grip allowing Kain to grab the sword and cleave the scalp off of one missing an ear, a smaller goblin plunges its knife into Kains gut and twists the blade snapping it off inside his stomach and stumbling back onto the floor to see his foot slam into its bulbous nose splintering the bone and caving in its face as Kains foot repeatedly squishes its disproportionately sized head into the ground. The remaining two approach his flanks, their teeth almost cracking with rage as he wipes the blood off the stone blade.
The monsters lunge towards him weapons ready, he ducks under the left one, turning around the sword slices through both legs leaving it flopping on the floor slowly crawling towards the group of students before bleeding out as the last goblin charges, tears pouring from its yellow eyes and streaming to the floor as it screams in agony. Kain brings the sword down onto the top of its skull splitting its head in two, as he stands up fully Eria crashes into him snapping the sword in the fall.
"Get up!"
She yells as they both scramble to their feet, turning to see the hairy creature crawling up the wall, speeding towards them its mouth opens revealing razor sharp teeth and a long thin tongue. The whole class runs away leaving the full classrooms screaming in terror as they flee through the empty halls, the hairs on Kains skin prick up and his heart beats so hard its as if it were about to burst out of his chest as the group turns the corner to see even more goblins feasting on the corpses of student and staff alike.
