1.13 Quest Part 3

Legacy ignores the jolt of light pain as the blade leaves a line of red light across her side. Her own health bar drops from 123 to just 120 in the corner of her vision and Legacy snarls.

This is just a game, but I should be so sloppy. If it were real, I would have been seriously injured.

Legacy uses her superior mobility to jump backwards and readies one of her Skills. Using Sun Strike, one of her more power Skills, Legacy swipes at the goblin who struck her. Gord’Ang glows yellow and it tears through the goblin.

The goblin screeches as its health drops to just a third as it hits the red. Legacy grins as she follows up quickly with a stab to the heart and finishes off the goblin.

Her Stamina drops from 252 to 232, but Legacy ignores that. Stamina doesn’t matter to her as much as it would to other players. The other main use of Stamina is allowing players to commit actions that they couldn’t normal commit outside.

Things such as sprinting beyond their normal endurance or carrying heavier weights then they can in real life, but also things such as parkour or other physical feats if they have the right abilities.

But if you can do such things outside of the game, you don’t use Stamina when you do them. Which gives Legacy an innate edge with her Bellator equivalent body and inherited skills. Now the only thing she has to worry about conserving Stamina for is her Skills.

As she hears a twang of a bow, Legacy ducks to the side. The arrow still glances her shoulder, but her armour protects her from suffering any damage.

Legacy sprints forward at the remaining goblin scout before it can another shot off. She slashes it with Gord’Ang, cutting the bow in two and reducing the goblin’s health to about ten percent. Not giving the goblin a chance to recover, she swipes Gord’Ang downwards and the goblin shatters into the shards of digital light.

With her opponents defeated and no other imminent foes, Legacy takes a quick moment to loot her fallen enemies. While their bodies are gone, there is still a floating marker in a shape of a bag where each goblin scout died.

She presses the closest marker and an inventory screen appears in front of Legacy. This goblin has seven crude copper arrows, four copper coins and two crude copper short swords on it.

Legacy only selects coins and arrows, the latter due to their very light weight. She moves onto the other goblin’s loot. This one has no coins, but all eight arrows, its crude short bow and both short swords. Not only that, but it also has a half-eaten apple pie and a Springfall Brewery beer bottle.

Of its weaponry, only the arrows are worth taking and both food items are valuable, the beer in particularly. Even if she can’t drink it, it can be useful in either selling it or gifting it to an NPC.

Legacy closes the inventory screen to see an axe armed goblin warrior approaching her. Legacy grins at this next foe and charges forward. The goblin also charges and Legacy activates her Skill Power Stab, causing Gord’Ang to glow blue.

Gord’Ang pierces both the shield and armour of the goblin warrior as she smashes past it. Legacy spins around and slashes the goblin with Gord’Ang before taking a moment to observe the damage she has inflicted.

The goblin as a large red hole in it and a red line slash across its back. The shield is gone, disintegrated as its durability hits zero and the goblin warrior’s health bar is reduced to one quarter.

Due to using another Skill, Legacy’s Stamina is reduced by 12, but she ignores that as she gets a minor pop-up. Her Power Stab Level has increased to 10, further increase the damage it inflicts in addition to reducing the Stamina is requires as it does every ten levels.

The goblin warrior sways on its feet before unleashing a howl and charging Legacy. It doesn’t stand a chance of survival, but Legacy doesn’t want to give it a chance to reduce her health. She sidesteps its desperate attack before slashing it across the back again.

With a cry of pain, the goblin warrior stumbles before shattering and Legacy eagerly loots it. This goblin warrior is more impressive than the scouts with a crude iron war axe, crude copper chainmail, a crude copper helmet and six copper coins.

Legacy takes the coins before looking around for her next foe. None of the goblins are near her with over half of them dead and the rest engaging her teammates.

Then Legacy spots the prize, the goblin spellcaster. With a grin on her face, she charges forward at the spellcaster.

It spots her coming and fires at fireball at her. Legacy laughs as she aims Gord’Ang at it. One of Gord’Ang’s special effects within Eldrim is that it is completely immune to all magical effects, something that is general true throughout the multiverse even if there are some exceptions. The fireball dies as it hits Gord’Ang and Legacy comes within melee range of the spellcaster.

With the battle almost over, Legacy decides she doesn’t have to worry about her Stamina anymore and activates Power Stab. Gord’Ang glows blue again and she runs the spellcaster through. Despite having magic, the spellcaster has no armour and slightly lower health than the goblin warrior, causing it to lose over two thirds of its health.

With its health bar firmly in the red, Legacy’s next attack will surely finish the spellcaster off so she decides to go for something cool looking. Activating her Skill Sun Slash, Legacy beheads the goblin spellcaster as Gord’Ang glows yellow.

As the goblin spellcaster’s body disintegrates, Legacy turns to see her teammates watching her with smiles on their faces, the rest of the goblins slain.
