Chapter 18 - A Husband Shall Kill
Chapter 18 - A Husband Shall Kill
Kyoya was not particularly scared of the purple goblin.
It's not like its small body was not grotesque nor evil. The goblins are ugly and low race, their noses are big and ears small, but slightly curled. The skin of theirs was likewise withered of wrinkles, but what was the most grotesque was their personality.
They were eating humans and other living beings with evil delight on their faces.
So why was Kyoya feeling safe?
Surely because he believed in his arrow proficiency that has been build up by releasing arrows non stop. It was no the feeling build up by adding points, but the raw feeling of his fingers and hands becoming one with the bow.
There was surely a lot of to train and even more immersion needed to be done, but Kyoya felt like his power is not only the system. The arrow proficiency made things easier and allow him to begin a path of an archer without any teacher.
Then, his skill stats just made the normal arrow stronger...
"Xaya, can you throw that goblin off from the rabbit? If you can, then just make him unable to fight. I will go and fight the rabbits."
"Yes, husband! You can always rely on me."
Xaya's eyes were enough to freeze the purple goblin.
Its body just became motionless, then as the whole control has been lost, the goblin rolled on the ground as a 'watcher'. His eyes couldn't be also moved, but he still could see and so he became a watcher.
A watcher that is going to see his whole rabbit amy being destroyed by the husband's arrows! The husband was not wasting time at all, his bow raised high! The eyes of a newbie archer locked itself on the rabbit, then an arrow tore through the air.
[White Small Rabbit. Lv.10 HP: 1400/1400]
[White Small Rabbit. Lv 10 HP: 724/1400]
The rabbits had small in their name, but they were not that small at all. At least comparing those to the rabbits from Kyoya's home world would be stupid! Their legs were fast and strong with those muscles!
Disappearing for a while from Kyoya's sight was not impossible for the white monsters.
However, Kyoya still could deal some damage. His arrows were mostly missing, but the things were become easier the moment his arrow luckily hit the white creature! It could no longer disappear and so Kyoya had to deal the finisher.
This also began the next series of events that had given a lot of thoughts to the married couple.
[You have lost -25 HP!]
[You have lost -31 HP!]
[You have lost -29 HP!]
Kyoya's eyes could see those notifications. Those were very important as their appearance happened in a flash. They just flashed at once, so Kyoya felt like he has to somehow learn how to control that game system.
The reason for these is naturally due to the rabbits attacking Kyoya in a rapid succession. Their attacks caused his body to thrash around as if pushed by an unknown force. Then, the bruises and blood began scattering around Kyoya's skin.
It was pitiful sight.
"Husband!"
"No need!"
Kyoya had around 300 HP, so the damage he was taking was low, but if those rabbits attacked at least three more times in the same way, then Kyoya's HP will reach zero for sure!
One of the most astonishing things was that Kyoya awakened quickly from that barrage of attacks. Xaya's voice had reached him deeply, and so, the husband returned to his job! The arrows began leaving his inventory as fast as his current self allowed him to do so.
The bow had never left his side!
'This is why I need knife or close combat proficiency!'
Kyoya also tried to run around, but the speed of his was not something to be praised about. The body of his couldn't really focus on the two things which made the things worse.
It was first time fighting with monsters from the pillar, and they were way different then the ones outside.
But Kyoya hadn't ventured too deeply into the world, so he was simply not aware.
The struggle of the husband continued for the whole hour. He had managed to deal with most rabbits and even those who had come here intruiged by the sounds of the battle. Then, Kyoya fell onto his butt.
His HP was very low.
The inventory was in opposite state as it was full of the rabbits' meat, hide and eyes.
"Husband... You can easily level up by allowing me-"
"I know, but this is not what I need. The battle with the rabbits had allowed me to see my flaws, and so I will try to focus on these."
Xaya looked at Kyoya, then sat down next to him.
She whispered softly that not being able to be on husband's back is very annoying and sad for her. It was also something that Xaya unable to pass his arrows immediately upon a need. Her whispers caused a quest to appear on Kyoya's system.
[A wife wants to be on your back during the battles.]
[Kyoya's quest! - The sharp eye!]
There were two quests this time.
One born from Xaya's desire and the other solely born from Kyoya's frustration. He was really frustrated as he knew that leveling up can be easy if he uses Xaya's powers. But is that going to be his own strength?
He already relies on the system heavily.
It was his power, but still...
"Husband, I will make wagyu for you. If I add my blood, then your regeneration should be strengthened!"
A good wife took out necessary stuff to make the dish, then began cooking in the middle of the dangerous forest... It was fine, however. She had sealed the place and so Xaya was carelessly preparing up the meat by cutting it.
The purple gobling was still here.
The reason for Kyoya to have him being binded by Xaya's power is so that he himself could learn close combat... The purple creature had a knife too, so Kyoya wished for a small training under careful eye of yandere wife...
A very enticing piece of meat finally appeared on Kyoya's knees. He took one of these into his mouth, then an information about his wife's concerns flashed briefly through his eyes.
[Your regeneration has been increased by 25%]
"I like when you bite me, Xaya."
"Really?"
The yandere wife carefully closed her distance, then hugged Kyoya from behind. Her teeth sunk into that neck, then regeneration increased more by 5% which was nice... But what was nice was that Kyoya began relying a little more.
"It would be the best if you could heal me during a battle... The reason I wanted a party was cause I knew it would end like that... Still, the result varies greatly from what I had in a mind."
"Husband should just allow me to beat them till death."
"If we meet someone way too strong, then I will use your help, Xaya."
Kyoya's hand went behind to stroke Xaya's black hair while her teeth deeply buried itself within his flesh... It was far from painful, but tickling rather. And Kyoya enjoyed it more than he should!
"Oh, look who is here! The beauty everyone is talking about?"
"God! She is so damn sexy! Look at those eyes and ass!"
"Let's get rid of that fucker and make her suck us like that too."
A wife's pressure was working on the monsters from the first floor... The humans and other adventurers could step into their room without any obstacle, so the group of low leveled adventures finally appeared before Kyoya and Xaya.
But the husband was not in a good mood.
"She's my wife."
"So? The whole first floor is in the chaos! We can easily make moves on a loser like you."
"I see."
Xaya was listening to this conversation with the word 'Filth' screaming repetitively within her mind. It was slowly becoming louder than her husband's voice, but Xaya's thoughts suddenly halted... Her eyes widened and she turned those to Kyoya.
Her teeth were still buried within his neck, but even so, she still had a clear look on his eyes.
Those black eyes were narrowed while something 'very familiar' began forming on the surface.
A cold piercing eyes.
It lasted only for a little, but Xaya just let his neck go mindlessly in a shock. Her beautiful face was glued to his! Then, the red lips widened so much it was irresistible to just look.
"Take 99% of their HP, Xaya..."
"Yes, husband!"
"I will... kill them... for EXP."
[Level 18.]
How much will it change?
