A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

BANG!!!!

Alex pushed Ezekiel away as a shaman's fireball suddenly flew and fell in the middle of them. 

"Who?" Ezekiel tried to follow the remnant of the fireball's trail of sparks. Yet, there was only a few left that could give him a clue of where it had come from.

"An enemy?" Alex's eyes swept through the battlefield. She knew that the magic came from the goblin's direction. Among all the goblins that aren't wearing any armors. She discovered a goblin wearing a robe and carrying a staff. 

Alex and the goblin shaman's eyes met across the long distance. She can see his hatred directing to her from his dark green eyes. 

...

"Cold winds gather to my hand, penetrate my enemy as I offer their blood to our ancestors. 'Ice Shard'!!" A cold gust of air amassed on the goblin shaman's hand as a huge chunk of ice formed as big as a person's arms. 

The goblin shaman pointed in the direction of the two insolent humans. That is slaughtering his kin like pigs. 

It was supposed to be an easy battle with their numbers alone; they could even topple a small village like this. They even appeared too close to the village without the enemy noticing. They wouldn't have made such a feat if they did not use a billion goblins as a sacrifice. To make a portal to all the villages in the whole universe. Yet, the enemy managed to make a plan on how to defend the village on short notice. 

They want a home... 

They need a home...

They were all trapped in a void that demigods created for a very long time. The void's black barrier somehow increases its size every month. It is to give his kin more space to multiply further. 

They were given resources once a month. But it is only enough to survive with the current population at the start of that month. His kin's reproduction rate is so fast that they are reaching almost one hundred billion. The void that the demigods have trapped them in has become too cramped up. That they need to reduce their number by killing a lot of their kin every month.

But then, out of nowhere, an opportunity to be free has arrived... The demigod of death has unexpectedly plotted behind the scenes. He has given them a chance to escape the void in exchange for the death of one hundred billion goblins. 

They don't know why he did it. But they wanted the freedom they were deprived of.

They want to live a life in a beautiful world...

"Kill those insolent humans!!" The goblin shaman ordered as the woman easily dodged his magic. 

...

"We need to kill it first!" Ezekiel exclaimed as he saw the enemy chanting another magic spell. 

Shamans are always a dangerous enemy. It's hard to fight an enemy with unpredictable attacks. In their first attack, they will throw a slow-moving fireball. Then the second will be a high-speed glacial shard or a curse that slows you down. You just never knew what they would throw, and dealing with it it's too annoying. 

Furthermore, by the looks of it, the goblin shaman is the one commanding the goblin army. And killing an army's commander will boost the ally's morale as well as lowering enemy's morale.

"I'll try." She isn't confident that she can kill the goblin shaman in one try. The distance between them is so far apart. That the chances of hitting the target are close to none without any proper long-range weapon. The goblin shaman is even surrounded by muscular hobgoblins that look like his bodyguards. 

Alex scanned for any goblins carrying a shield that she could use.

"Ahhh, perfect timing!" Alex exclaimed as she saw a goblin with a shield charging at the back. 

"Excuse me!" She passed by Ezekiel then flipped through the air using the goblin's shield.

Alex aimed at his dark green eyes. Her eyes and the shaman's met across the long distance. She can feel his hatred growing stronger and stronger.

Alex's hands let go of the hand ax. Two hand ax flew side by side, slicing through the air towards the enemy's head. 

Seeing the woman leaping through the air that she did to kill a goblin archer. The goblin shaman waved his staff once as he chanted defensive magic. 

The two-hand ax stopped in front of the shaman's face. Then the hand ax's blade pointed at her before following its earlier trajectory as it traveled at a faster speed. 

Alex, who is still being upside down in the air, focused on the two hand ax coming her way. The moment the hand ax got close enough for her. Alex stretched out her hand as she grabbed the rotating hand ax's handle. Her actions then led to her spinning through the air like a spin top because of the hand ax's great momentum. 

Not done with one weapon, Alex stretched out her hand once more as she caught the other hand ax. Using the second-hand ax, made her spinning speed faster. 

"Eat this!!" The two hand ax's left her fingertips as they traveled faster than before.

Before the hand ax could even hit its target. The goblin shaman dragged a hobgoblin as he used them as his meatshields. Her attack was so fast that the goblin shaman didn't have time to chant. The hobgoblins' heads exploded as the hand ax pierced their skull. The weapon continued until the hand ax was planted deep on the ground.

"It's hard to kill the shaman!!" Alex exclaimed once she landed on the ground. She searched for a weapon first as she had thrown her weapon away. 

"We need to get closer to it!!" If she can close the distance between them. Then maybe she can finally kill the goblin shaman. Alex then grabbed a short sword as she continued to slaughter the goblins.

Every time Alex's swung her sword, more goblins died. She was like strolling behind the enemy's line, taking down all the goblins. 

When another goblin has fallen in her hands, Lumiere utters the system notification. [Level up]
