Chapter 26 Gibberlings

n

n

nStaring at the black smoke, he shook his head as he cast cleanse on himself and made his way to Stonethrone to deal with the gibberling’s.

nIt is the last quest he needed to complete until he could head back.

nArcher trekked through the forest but didn’t encounter any more beasts.

nHe started eating the hearts again, they were small, a bit bigger then a golf ball so they weren’t hard to eat.

nAfter a small trek he arrived at the road and turned south.

nAs he walked down the road he saw a caravan in the distance heading towards him.

nWhen they passed each other the caravan guards were watching him like he was a bandit as he chomped away at the hearts.

nArcher ignored the looks and carried on walking, a few hours later he felt sick again as he finished the last of the hearts.

nHe found a tree to lay down in while he had a stomach ache, it was his fault for being greedy but he didn’t care.

nArcher got excited due to the giant boost he got in stats, also a lot of his spells upgraded due to how much he used them against the goblins.

nHe also unlocked the next rank so he could create another spell but he will deal with that later.

nLooking at his stat points, he had 181.

nThinking for a little while he decided to spend all of them now to boost himself once again.

nSo he put 30 into HP and mana, 25 in every other stat apart from intelligence which he put 21.

nWhen Archer looked at his status he smiled as he felt so much better, he felt his body get stronger and felt 10 times better then he did before.

nHe started working out how much experience he earned from that little exercise, the total was 37,650 thousand experience from the kills and hearts.

nAnd 181 stat points due to the leveling up and eating the hearts.

nAs he approached a denser part of the road he smelt something nasty close by. Casting cosmic sword and he headed towards the smell.

nHe got closer he heard growls and yipping noises, after walking into the forest for a little while Archer saw what was making the smell.

nThe beasts were pale, hunchbacked humanoids with pointed, canine-like ears and manes of black hair that surrounded their hideous, grinning faces.

nThey had overly long arms with claws at the end, their eyes were black and typically described as maniacal.

nThese creatures are gibberlings, the ones he was after, there was about 12 of them surrounding what looked like a rhino type beast.

nThe beasts were circling it and giggling.

n”Kekekekekeke.”

nArcher thought since they stay in groups, they were typically seen first as large, writhing masses of dark fur and flesh, they made howls, clicks, shrieks, giggles and odd chattering noises.

nThe beasts creeped Archer out beyond belief they gave him the goose bumps as they let out their creepy laughs.

nHe fired a few more fire missiles towards the 9 remaining creeps, one died the others somehow managed to avoid the attack.

nArcher used thunder step to appear behind the furthest one and plunged his sword into the beasts neck.

nIt dropped to the floor with a thud, as he ran forward one of the creeps lunged at him as it was wildly slashing at him with it’s dirty claws.

nUsing his right arm to block the attacks with ease thanks to his scales and countered with a stab to the beasts head.

nHe smiled as he looked at the others, which spooked some of them as four of them rushed forward Archer cast four eldritch blasts at them.

nThe four purple beams shot through the air slamming into them killing them instantly.

nThe shots pierced the four creeps without issue as Archer rushed forward while casting body enhancement, one jumped at him and started slashing.

nArcher dodged and slashed at the beast, slicing its chest.

nIt dropped to the floor in pain as he finished it off leaving 2 left. Looking at the remaining two, they instantly turned around and fled.

nArcher wouldn’t let them get away, he cast body enhancement again and rushed after the fleeing gibberlings.

nAfter catching up to them he butchered the two, and extracted their hearts as he dismissed his sword.

nHe walked back to the scene of the fight, as he reached the area he started ripping out the hearts and storing them.

nBefore storing all 12 bodies, he cut off some stinky fur and smelt it.

nHe was revolted by the smell but picked up a strong sent from the north, Archer started following it and came across a cave.

nYipping and screeching could be heard from inside and he had a feeling that it was their den.

nArcher climbed up into a tree and started to watch, he looked into the sky and it was early afternoon, he wanted to be back in Vassia before sunset.

nAs he waited none of the beasts came out, so he fired a void blast into the cave. All the noises suddenly stopped.

nHe got fed up of waiting and was going to enter the cave until he heard loads of footsteps rushing out.

nAs he saw them exiting the cave in a panic. Smiling as he got an idea, he raised his hand and fired 5 eldritch blasts at them.

nThe 5 purple beams flew through the air smashing into the group.

nScreams and whines could be heard as the dust settled. Only two gibberlings were left standing.

nArcher thunder stepped to them and finished them off before they could react. After confirming all 7 were dead he walked into their den.

nHe quickly held his nose as a rotten smell assaulted him, it was a mixture between a week long ** cooking in the sun and a dead body.

nLooking around seeing bodies of beasts and humanoids, in one corner there looked to be a nest.

nWalking over he saw loads of baby gibberlings all growling at him, he aimed his hand and spammed fire missiles into them.

nThey would have died anyway he was just giving them a quick death, he left the cave and started to make his way back to the city.

nAs he was walking back he decided to check his status again.

nHe was happy with his progress, it took him a few hours of speed walking but he arrived back at the city gate, Archer entered and made his way to the guild. .

nAfter a 10 minute walk he was standing outside the guild, he entered and made his way over to Sarah.

nAs he arrived at the desk he said hello.

n”Hello Sarah, I’ve finished the four quests.”

nHe handed over the bag that the magic grass was stored in.

nShe then looked up at this troublesome boy and sighed before asking for his guild card.

nArcher gave it to her, she pulled out some paperwork and started stamping the paper then did something to the card.

nSarah handed it back before going to get his reward.

nNot long after she returned and handed him 10 gold coins, but as she handed it over as she asks the boy something.

n”I bet you have bodies to sell?” He nodded his head. She sighed yet again.

n”Well the guild master has asked us not to buy anymore bodies off you for the mean time, we have to sell the ones you’ve already sold us.”

nHe nodded as he didn’t care. Sarah smiled and handed over the coins before telling him about a quest.

n”Archer there is a escort quest going to the Rhodora Kingdom to deliver relief supplies to the guild in Karna city, they asked for our assistance so we’ve made it a quest.”

nHe thought about it and wanted to do it.

n”Yes sign me up, how long is the quest and where is this kingdom?”

n”It takes a month to get there and a month back so two altogether, it’s on the southwest border of the empire, the reward is100 gold coins and there’s a bonus if the shipment is fine.”

nHe agreed with everything she said and got signed up, Sarah told him to meet up at the southern gate tomorrow at sunrise.

nShe smiled as she told him something that made him happy.

n”The guild will count this quest as two, so you’ll only have to complete two more quests and you’ll be able to rank up.”

nArcher smiled and said goodbye as he walked over to the quest boards.
