A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

On Ezekiel's vision a red-skinned hobgoblin smashed a war hammer at him. He tried to block it with his staff, but he was thrown away from the shock. 

Alex somewhat felt uncomfortable as she looked at Ezekiel on the ground. 

"Thanks, but I can take care of myself." Alex uttered as she stood up and kicked the face of a hobgoblin storming at Ezekiel's side. 

"I think you're the one who should take care of yourself." Alex exclaimed as she saw Ezekiel having a hard time against the red-skinned hobgoblins. The muscles on her shoulders trembled before she threw her two axes. 

Ezekiel saw an ax hitting the head of a hobgoblin in front of him. "Can you please stop acting on your own?" Ezekiel looks at her as he deflects the arrows coming at them. At the same time, he let Alex handle the red-skinned goblins. And he focused on deflecting the arrows coming at them instead. 

Since Ezekiel can't fight a group of red-skinned hobgoblins. He is on par with at most two red-skinned hobgoblins. It will be the end of him if it is three or more hobgoblins. 

"I told you you're too slow, I can't go all out..." Alex argued at the same time she avoided a flying ax coming at her and cut down an enemy down. 

She isn't confident that she can keep up with the enemies if she slows down for Ezekiel. 

"This game is not Guardian where you charge all alone towards the enemy!!" Ezekiel thrusts his staff to a hobgoblin on Alex's back almost hitting her. 

"I know!!" Alex shoved Ezekiel to the side as she thrusts her spear at a hobgoblin on Ezekiel's back. 

"Or a PC game where I can heal you on the backline safely!!" Ezekiel patted with a little force on Alex's back to heal her and deflected an ice shard coming their way. 

"I know!!" Alex answered as she shoved Ezekiel's again and switched her target. 

"If you know, then why are you not cooperating with me!!" Ezekiel scolded as he tried to match his movement with Alex's movement.

"Stupid, that's what I'm doing right now!!" Alex defended as the ax, in her other hand, fell over the enemy's head. 

Ezekiel did not notice it, but the way she moves right now is her slowing down and matching her movements with his. She is trying to cooperate with him to see if it is a good idea. 

"Switch!!" Alex kept on switching places with Ezekiel. It was because dozens of weapons were locked on to her, she needed to constantly move around. However, she can't leave Ezekiel all alone because she needs more healing. That was why she came up with the idea of switching places with him. It was also to ease his burden in fighting the red-skinned hobgoblins. And focus on blocking the enemy's long-range bombardment. 

She switches positions with Ezekiel every now and then. Because the red-skinned hobgoblins are running after her. Their spears, swords, and axes are aimed at her. The bows of the goblin archers aimed at her in the rear. Even the goblin shaman only aimed his bombardment of magic at her. 

When Ezekiel heard Alex's answer, he realized in an instant what she has been doing all this time. She changed her way of fighting from being too aggressive on her offensives. To staying with him on the defensive and protecting him while waiting for the enemy to come at her. He finally understood the way she shoved him out of the way and killed his opponent instead. 

"I got it." Ezekiel exclaimed as he swung his staff with great strength to deflect the rain of arrows. 

"If you got it, then focus on your job!!" Alex complained when an arrow almost hit her shoulders. She then concentrated on killing the red-skinned hobgoblins. 

"WHY ARE THEY STILL NOT DYING!!" The goblin shaman's eyes widened as he saw the hobgoblins being pushed back once more. They were losing despite having the numerical advantage. Every step forward they made, the hobgoblins needed to step back. 

In his eyes he doesn't see a woman and a man any more. They became a pair of terrifying monsters that kills a soldier every time they move. The goblin shaman felt like they were flying through the battlefield. It was as if their stamina wasn't exhausted. 

Limbs flew through the air as her weapon split the enemy's flesh asunder. Causing a fountain of light particles to erupt with every flash of her weapon. 

No matter how many arrows rained down upon them. The goblin army's defenses were gradually being shaken by the pair's offensive. 

"Isn't this working out better than we expected??" Alex did not expect the situation to reverse due to her cooperating with Ezekiel. The speed that they were moving right now was even faster than her charging alone. 

The hobgoblins surrounding Alex and Ezekiel started to slowly thin out. It was as if they were swallowed by a beast. 

The goblin shaman watching from afar gulped in fear. He was running out of ideas on how to stop the both of them. But he was relieved when he looked at the village in the distance. 

The goblin shaman saw the berserk goblins slowly breaching the shield wall created by the humans. 

Noticing the goblins started breaching the wall. Akkar took a deep breath as air condensed inside his body. He put strength to his abdomen, and his diaphragm became as hard as steel. 

"KILL THE MOTHERF*CKERS INSIDE THE WALL!!" Akkar's roar rattled the battlefield.

"KILL!!!" 

"KILL!!!!!"

"DEFEND THE VILLAGE!!!" 

The goblins and the guardians got mixed together. Akkar swung his great ax with great strength among them, making 5 goblin heads fly through the sky. 

Humans and goblins were killing each other and dying. Both sides were engulfed in their own madness and didn't hesitate to attack. They wielded their weapons until they stopped breathing. 

It was pandemonium.

"HOLD ON FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES!!"
