FAULT ; ARTIFACT chapter 82
The girl braked sharply, darted behind a bush, I did not understand what had happened, but she sharply pulled her sleeve. Unable to stay on his feet, he flopped next to her.- What are you...- Quiet!I paused, followed her gaze. Two goblins are walking towards us. In the hands of a torch that creates around them two dim light spots.- Patrolmen? Something new.- Here and goblins stronger. Take a closer look, - whispered Weasel.Indeed, goblins are a head taller than usual, and stronger. Light from torches leaves glare on metal breastplates. Goblins have small maces with sharp spikes on their belts. They both walk slowly, talking about something.Weasel, meanwhile, drew her axes. Monsters are coming our way, and we have nowhere to hide, except behind a bush. There are several steps to the nearest tree. The fact that our movement will be noticed is one hundred percent."Wait," I whispered.A black ball began to form in his hand. The space was drawn towards him. As soon as the goblins w

- Come on, get up! What hung?Glancing up, I saw the girl stick out halfway, her fingers clenched on my wrist. With my other hand, I grabbed her hand, the girl exhaled sharply and pulled it towards herself with force, the wall in front of my eyes ran down, and after a few seconds I found myself on a flat stone surface. I am no longer surprised at the girl’s strength, she has a “duelist” class, so both dexterity and physique are pumped in.- Enough to lie, quickly run, - came the hissing of the girl.Jumping to his feet, he looked around.To the right there is a hubbub, several goblins began to peer into the darkness behind the walls, apparently trying to make out the sentries sent earlier. The entrance to the dungeon is guarded by a goblin, his partner went to see what happened there. And now the guard does not even look in our direction, all his attention is directed to the brethren crowded on the wall.We jumped down into the yard, dashed across the distance to the keep. The guard,

He turned sharply, trying to throw the girl off the back of her neck, but she put one ax into the magical space and clung to the armor. The hobgoblin spun around, tried to grab Weasel with his hand, but nothing happened, she deftly dodged. And then she slashed at the head. Thick skin and bone saved the hobgoblin, and the ax plunged barely a few millimeters into the head. A figure of 80 damage appeared above the goblin, he squealed.I stepped back, breathing heavily. The world shakes before my eyes. Pain ripples from the shoulder. I noticed a message that the hand was critically wounded and now I can’t move it for a hundred seconds.While the hobgoblin squeals and tries to throw Weasel off, I removed almost all the torches from magical space, dumped them in a pile. A strong flame shot up, illuminating the area. A black ball formed in the left hand, to which all space was drawn. The fire from the burning torches piled in a heap reached for the ball. I brought it closer. The flame seemed

- Yes. I have it marked on the map in the same way as the exits controlled by corporations, - I said, then stopped abruptly, looked at the girl. - Weasel.She also stopped and looked at me suspiciously.- What?- Thanks for helping.She looked away.- If you were a complete goat, then for any money I would not climb into that fortress to help you.- Why is this? Although I understand that life is more expensive ...- Tim. I am terminally ill. I have mimicking cancer. So I already have one foot in the grave. That's why I'm not interested in riches and other crap that ordinary people crave. My whole life here, in the rift, is an attempt to collect money in order to give them for treatment and live an extra day. This does not mean that I am ready for anything for the sake of money. But if there is a person who is also on the verge of life and death, instead of thinking about himself, goes and helps others, I cannot leave him alone. The reason why you decided to save those girls... I tota

New body.Nevertheless, the experience of battles, and with it the adoption of important and urgent decisions, made itself felt. Probably, an ordinary person who did not have my experience of fighting monsters would have panicked, started rushing around the apartment, thinking what had happened. I quickly got over my feelings. Now is not the time to be surprised. I’ll think about my current state later, now I need to bring down as quickly as possible, because in addition to Yuji’s bandits, we should also expect corporations. So the apartment should be left without delay.Looking down, I found myself standing naked. Well, it is understandable, from a powerful explosion all the clothes were torn to shreds. I mentally clicked on the inventory icon. To my relief, my first clothes remained in the magical vault - shoes, old trousers and a shirt. When I bought my first set, I put the starting clothes in the magical storage, and forgot about it. You don't know what will come in handy in life.

You should have seen the delivery man's face! Since I paid without using any visible device, which means that the logical conclusion is that I have an expensive chip implanted, only now I look like a bum.Once again, a couple of thugs rang at the door. I understand that these were Yuji's guys, who decided to walk around the neighbors, find out about the details of the explosion and if anyone saw a suspicious guy leaving the explosion site. I prepared a spell, but did not open it and generally somehow respond. I thought that they would decide to try to get into the apartment, but apparently they did not have an access key decoder, or there was an order to be careful, or the presence of police drones nearby stopped them from illegal actions.I also ordered delivery of clothes. I didn’t order something super cool for two reasons: firstly, I didn’t know if I could use it, and secondly, if I have to fight with someone again, it’s not a pity to ruin cheap clothes.Dressed in ordinary jeans

- Fuck you.- What?I didn't even waste the spell, I just punched him sharply from below in the jaw.- Bitch! he croaked.Flying away, I waved my knife, but the stone skin held out, and I didn’t even get hit.I ran up to him, fear appeared in the stranger's eyes, he hastily stabbed with a knife, but, like last time, nothing happened. And his blow was weak, and the quality of the steel of the knife left much to be desired. No, if I had ordinary flesh, his weapon would easily enter into it, but my skin became equal in strength to stone.His eyes widened in surprise as he realized that the knife hadn't even pierced the skin. He must have thought it was artificial. My fist hit hard on the nose. The enemy howled, dropped the knife, fell to the ground, covering his face with his palms, but even so he could not restrain the flow of blood, which rounded his lips in two red paths, accumulated on his chin and began to drip onto the ground.Crap! Some petty robber. I thought one of Yuuji's guys

Kingdom of Santon.I froze."Don't move," came a voice from behind. - Tell me, who are you? Ah, please forgive my manners, my name is Farust.- I'm Tim.- Tim? By chance not summoned by Sol? the stranger asked.- Yes. And by chance you are not studying this gap here. Are you a friend of Alast?I felt the tense gaze of an invisible interlocutor behind my back, but as soon as I called out the name of the alchemist, the tension hanging in the air eased. A weary exhalation reached his ears. Realizing that the immediate danger had passed, I slowly turned around.Three paces from me, near a small tree, stands a tall man in his fifties with a short white beard, in a dark robe and a pointed hat typical of a magician. It rests on a wooden staff, on top of which is attached a large shiny black stone with sharp edges.- So, you are the young man about whom Alast studied alchemy?- Yes.There was a short silence. Faroust studied me for a few moments, then turned his gaze to the rift.- So, you ge
