A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

Chapter 53 - Friends

"What did they even experience to get this strong at such a young age..." Akkar mostly sees people their age lazing around, without a care for the world. 

Even in his teenage years, he only knows how to laze around. It is because the problems he encountered were always solved by his mother with ease. 

Yet as he grew older, he saw how harsh reality is. Problems came one after the other. While his mother, who always solves his problem, became weaker as she also grew older. "Not everyone can do what they're doing."

"Everyone??" Everyone... If you are like everyone else, then you can't become a God's candidate. A God's candidate has to tread on a path that no one else travels." 

Akkar feels that Elder Jin regretted something when he said those wise words. Though, Akkar did not know about the god's candidate at all. He thinks that it must be something like the plot of the game that they will discover as they explore the game.

Although Elder Jin is already old. Akkar thinks that there is no doubt Elder Jin is even better at his peak. Every time he nocks an arrow, it will kill 3 goblins like it was nothing. His outstanding skills can be seen as clear as the sky. 

"If you want to fight, you can go down there and slaughter those goblins. You have done more than enough already." Elder Jin suggested as he saw Akkar staring at the two people with envy. The morale he has given and the quick thinking of strategy he suggested. It was all effective. Everything can all be seen clearly as no goblin still manages to make a budge in their shield wall. 

"I'll stay for now..." He won't be much of a help if he goes down right now. Goblins die instantly as soon as they get close to their shield wall's spears. Arrows punctured the goblin's whole body one after the other. Magician's magic fell in the middle of enemies. And bullets obliterated the goblin's body.

"Besides, I'm not that strong as those two..." Even though he wanted to go down and fight. He needs to satisfy his viewer's eyes with a bird's eye view of the whole battlefield. The place he is standing has the perfect view of the battlefield. 

Thanks to the two of them. His viewer's count increased once more to almost reaching one hundred thousand now. He knows that they are only there because he became the commander. A lot of them may not even stay and watch him after this. But there will be a few who will continue to watch him. He wouldn't waste the opportunity given to him to increase his subscribers count. 

At the same time, Alex and Ezekiel have been in the spotlight for everyone to see is fighting the goblins with ease. Even though the goblins charged at them endlessly. 

"Tsk, these guys are endless... Heal!" Ezekiel complained as he pulled out an arrow stuck on his shoulders. He is not like Alex that probably has an eye on her back. As she dodges any attacks coming at her in any direction. 

"Having a hard time?" 

She is unbelievable; Alex even had some time to tease him as she killed two goblins  simultaneously

"This is easy... Haaaaaaa!!" Ezekiel growled as he knocked three goblins away from them. 

"Okay fine this is tiring..." After fighting intensely for a few minutes. Ezekiel is now panting lightly. He finds it weird because he knows his physique more than anyone else. And his stamina should not be this bad even if he sparred with Alex for an hour in the real world. 

His only thought on this problem is that it must have something to do with the stamina stat. Alex still has stable breathing. Even though she moves at an incredible speed without taking any breaks. But he is still not sure about this theory. Because the comparison between their stamina stat is not that big. Being a healer his stamina stats is naturally lower than everyone else. 

"How are you not getting tired at all!?" Ezekiel asked as he dodged an arrow that grazed his shoulders a little. "These goblin archers are annoying as hell!!" He wanted to kill them, but he couldn't get too far away from Alex because he wouldn't even last 5 minutes alone.

"Breathing techniques works!!" Alex briefly answered as she kicked off a goblin with a shield. She used it as a stepping stone as she flipped through the air. While being upside down in the air, Alex scanned the battlefield. The moment she two the goblin archers in the distance. Her body rotated like a gymnast as she threw the two short swords she was using. The instant the two short swords hit their target, the weapon crumbled to pieces as if it was abused to the end.

"Tsk, cheap swords break so easily," Alex whined once she landed and crashed on a goblin's head. She then changed her weapon as she grabbed the dead goblin's hand ax. That is almost the same size as her arms. 

[Acquired Goblin's worn-out hand ax] 

"Using a weapon carefully doesn't suit you..." Ezekiel exclaimed as she saw Alex obliterating a goblin's head using the hand ax. A true definition of just using brute force...

"It's a cheap sword; what can I do!?" Unlike the short sword where she just slits the goblin's throat. Alex used the hand ax with great strength to completely chop off a goblin's head. It was a weapon that brought more damage than the short sword in exchange for more flexibility in its use. 

"Anyway, thanks..." Ezekiel uttered as he touched her back to heal her. It was his thanks to her for killing the two goblin archers that have been pestering him. 

Alex's lips formed into a smile as she felt the warm feeling creeping all over her body. 

This feeling...

Brings back memories...

She was so used to fighting alone for three years. She already got used to only focus on what was in front of her.

This feeling is something new to her...

Not worrying about her back. She realizes that having someone fights beside her is actually more fun than fighting alone. 

Friends huh...
