"Aren't we going to help them?" Mickey asked as he watched the prisoners and guards struggling against the imps. They have been stuck in close combat for five minutes now and more than ten people have already died and the casualties were only increasing, and Mickey sure as hell didn't want to be here alone after the imps killed everyone. Instead of answering Xavier continued to observe and waited for the right moment to strike, which cams pretty quickly.
A prisoner fell to the ground, as she screamed and tried to keep an imp from slashing her face off with a wooden club. The monster bit into the club and the woman could hear it cracking, much to her horror, and started to scream even louder. Suddenly, as the woman was about to accept her fate, Xavier rushed in and kicked imp, sending it rolling across the ground. Before the woman could even thank him, he rolled across the ground and picked up a copper sword that fell to the ground after it's owner died. The imp slowly stood up, shaking it's head as it tried to get rid of the dizziness from kick to it's face, when Xavier stabbed it in the chest.
The creature struggled as copious amounts of blue blood flowed out of its chest, displaying it's immense vitality. Xavier struggled to push the sword deeper into the enemies chest, and he realized that the creature was incredibly tough, tougher than a normal human. The creature stopped struggling after a minute and it's body went limp, making Xavier sigh in relief.
"Not bad." Mickey said with a smile as he walked towards him, and Xavier picked up a nearby sword and threw it towards him. Xavier struggled to pull his own sword from the imps chest, before looking around the battlefield. The battlefield have fallen into pure chaos as everyone tried their best to survive against their monstrous foe.
"Him!!" Xavier said, pointing towards a man who was being assaulted by two imps. He wielded a spear with a copper blade and wooden shaft, and he was covered in shallow wounds from the imps claws. Both Mickey and Xavier quickly rushed over, planning to launch a sneak attack and kill the imps quickly, but they weren't so lucky. The imps noticed them and quickly took to the sky before turning around.
"I'll lead one of them away, you take care of the other one." Xavier said to Mickey, before rushimg off. As expected, one of the imps followed after him, excited to kill it's new prey. Within minutes it caught up to him, and Xavier realized that these creatures were faster than he was, but not by much. Once the imp was close, Xavier came to a sudden stop and spun around, swinging his blade and hoping to atleast injure to monster, but it dodged the attack, and launched a counterattack. The creature came flying in and swung it's claws at his neck, but he leaned back his body, causing it's sharp claws to miss his neck, but left five lines on his chest.
Seeing his own blood, Xavier gritted his teeth and rushed towards the monster. He swung his blade at the monster many times, but it either dodged or blocked with it's claws, causing sparks to fly whenever they made contact. The imp had launched a few counterattacks as well, leaving scratches all over Xavier's body.
'Stigma Window, increase my agility attribute to the maximum.' Xavier said
[You are able to purchase +4 AGI for 45 Points. Do you wish to make this purchase?]
[Yes] [No]
'Yes.' Xavier said when he saw the message from the stigma window. Immediately, Xavier could feel a cool sensation throughout his entire body, especially his muscles. As the imp flew in for another counterattack, he dodged it for the first time and caught the creature by its wing, taking it by surprise. He slammed the imp into the ground and stabbed it in the neck, causing blue blood to spurt from it's neck as it tried to breathe.
'I knew saving my points was a good idea.' Xavier thought proudly as he pulled out his sword and looked over at where Mickey was. The first thing he noticed was the imp on the ground with a sword in its neck and the next is the prisoner kneeling beside Mickey, pressing against his side, while Mickey had a pained expression on his face.
"Fuck." Xavier said and rushed over, arriving in a minute.
"That fucking monster slashed him in the side with it's claws. The wound is pretty deep....I...I don't think he'll make it." The man with the copper spear said, and he looked down where the prisoner was pressing down, to see a large amount of blood flowing out.
"Shit, bring me a piece of cloth." Xavier said
"I don't..."
"Now." Xavier said, in a more commanding tone and he nodded his head before leaving.
"Mickey, can you hear me?" Xavier said and he grunted.
"Good, now listen carefully if you want to live. The Stigma Window works on thought, and if you want to live, you are going to need to command it to increase your vitality attribute." Xavier said and Mickey looked at him with questioning eyes
"Are you sure now is the right time to be asking questions?" Xavier said and put more pressure on his wound, making him flinch. Mickey glared at him, but not wanting to die, he followed his instructions.
[You are able to purchase +7 VIT for a 100 Points. Do you accept?]
[Yes] [No]
Mickey's eyes widened when he saw the message and he realized that Xavier truly did know how to increase his attributes.
"Hurry up, you are almost out of blood...maybe." Xavier said and Mickey quickly accepted.
