I observed the group of humans for a while and tried to guess what type of skills they could possess. The group consisted entirely of males. There were some who had sword, two that had shields and a guy who I thought had no weapon but I noticed later that he had daggers. 'I don't know if that guy specialises in hidden weapons but I need to assume he was the one who did the tracking and is able to be stealthy' I thought.
I wanted for no one to escape alive. So I had to devise a plan where I would kill them very quickly. Most important was the guy with daggers. I assumed he would be the hardest to catch if allowed a way out. That guy was my 1st target and priority. The next targets would be people with shields. I didn't want them to use those shields in order to protect other people or themselves thus creating more opportunities for some people to run.
Lastly, I would take care of the sword wielders. That was the order but my plan was not set. If I attacked and succeeded there were 2 options for these people. Option number one, all of them would start to retreat which would be bad, especially if they separated. The other option was for them to fight. For that, they would need an enemy. If I tried to do it stealthy then I would risk some people getting away but if I kill just that dagger guy and show myself, they would have an enemy to face.
I was alone and at an obvious disadvantage but they shouldn't be aware of my skills. I didn't really use them much during our journey. 'My plan is set then. First, kill the guy who may be responsible for tracking and stealth then leave my hideout and kill the people with shields, I would then take care of others. Even if they run away, I'm not something they can run away from' I thought and dropped all my weights.
I was still carrying them till this day but now, I needed all my power and couldn't allow any of them to simply run away. With the weights gone, I could feel my body become more relaxed and full of strength. 'I can probably outspeed them by many times right now, especially the people with shields as they wear more bulky clothes and those shields' I thought.
It was time to start the killing spree. I threw dozen of daggers at the guy who was responsible for stealth and tracking. "Swoosh" "Swoosh" "Boom boom boom" the daggers I threw completely destroyed the dagger wielder, leaving gaping holes behind. The guy had no way of surviving that and I myself was surprised by the strength I possessed. When I threw my daggers, I immediately left my hiding spot to face the group.
The other nine people in the group were still chatting and drinking away like nothing happened, then they heard my daggers exploding through my target's body. They all stopped and looked in the direction of the dagger guy but only found gaping holes with large amounts of blood rushing out of them. They immediately started searching around them while taking out their weapons. I was already walking towards them and threw another round of daggers at the shield guys.
Although their shields were up, due to sheer strength and speed, the daggers passed through the shields creating large holes and even passed through the owners of those shields, to finally fall not to far away behind them. I now had a 100% certainty no one would survive.
The ones that were left, didn't know what was going on. In the space of couple of seconds, 3 members of their team died with holes in their bodies. The holes looked gruesome and evil. It was as if some kind of force made those holes in their bodies in just a second. They knew it was a physical attack because of the broken shields, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to figure it out. One of the sword wielders blurted out towards my direction "Wha..What are you!?". I took couple of steps forwards and my silhouette became visible. I said "Your worst nightmare" and threw more daggers.
The ones that survived tried to run, not even looking back at their colleagues or friends. The 4 people who survived, I had a special prize for them. I would kill them with my bare hands! I squatted down a bit and then released all the power stored in my legs. "BOOM!" the ground beneath me caved in due to the strength stored in my muscles . I reached such an incredible speed that I was surprised myself. Fortunately there were no trees or large rocks, the camp was set up in a clearing. Otherwise I would run straight into a tree or a rock.
I soon arrived in front of the first survivor. I caught him by his neck but because I used too much strength, I snapped his neck which resulted in his death. Just like that, one human lost his life, with no effort on my part. I thought 'My strength is so great, I can't even control it properly now'. I woke up from my own amazements and chased the other 3 guys down, killing them by ripping off their hands or legs.
These people were not as strong as I assumed at first but they had many people and probably good tactics. 'Maybe the guy I killed first played a huge role in Shelly's capturing. They had no people who used ranged weapons, I wonder how they could keep Shelly at bay' I thought.
With all the people in the group dead. I came over to Shelly and undid the ropes. Shelly's eyes became teary when it saw me, but it was too weak to do much. I took out some meat and gave it to Shelly. They probably didn't feed it much and Shelly also struggled while being tied up.
While Shelly was eating, I went to retrieve my bag and weights. I thought 'I can't control this much strength very well yet. I will use the weights for now and when the time comes, I will practice the control over my strength and speed. It's also a good hidden card. No one would expect that type of explosive speed and strength from a guy like me'. My aim didn't suffer though, it was only that I couldn't control my strength and speed. The guy who's neck I snapped, was a perfect example. I just wanted to catch him and punch to death, but he died just from me grabbing him.
I returned with all the weights back to Shelly, who was gobbling up the meat. I said "I told you that I will take care of them" and Shelly nodded with happiness plastered on its face. 'I don't know if Shelly is happy because I came to its rescue or because it has loads of food to eat'. I said "We should move away from this place. If we stay in this area, we may encounter more people and you already saw what these type of humans are capable of. Humans are much more inteligent than animals, that is why you were captured". I then continued "Although I'm partly responsible for that, I went to look for them and gave them the opportunity to capture you. Just remember to never underestimate humans" to which Shelly nodded and continued eating.
Although Shelly was carefree due to its nature, I could see a glint of hatred when it looked at the corpses lying on the ground. I said "Let's go down the cliff. When I checked the map, it actually finished just below that cliff. I think there will be no humans there, once we get to that place". Shelly finished eating and nodded its head seriously.
"But for now, we will stay here and camp. Tomorrow morning, we shall move out towards the path that we found and leave for the unknown" I said then sat near the fire and ate some meat as well. I began thinking about tonight's dream 'So, I will see that dream again. With my new strength, I may be able to do something now. We will see'.
