G.I. Tesse (2)

Gray went rampant on the second floor, killing any goblins too slow to run into one of the classrooms, his katana becoming dull with blood.

A melody of screams and laughs flooded Tesse's ears as Gray sliced a goblin's head clean off, its dismembered braincase lobbing to the ground with a splatter, reddening the already crimson floor.

The goblins had locked themselves in a class labeled 8C, a human skull pinned on a spear decorating the entrance.

*Argha* screamed a goblin as it rushed at Gray from the other end of the hallway, however, a split second later a huge gaping hole appeared on its face, shattering its jaw and exposing the insides of its mouth.

"Good job," said Gray, blood flowing out of his ears as he turned to look at Tesse. She had her eyes looking through the scope, and the sniper butt to her shoulder, however, something seemed off.

"Perhaps move the sniper a bit more away from the shoulder joint next time," warned Gray, ignoring the pain exuded from his burst eardrums.

Tesse had an awkward bump at the back of her shoulder blade as she stared at Gray blankly. Unable to hear a thing he had just said due to the damage to her eardrums.

"Now where were we?" asked Gray, turning his katana into a pistol.

"Oh yes, goblins" laughed Gray as dozens of bullets fired into the door handle. The lock came undone and Gray opened the class door slowly.

*Aghrah* A dozen goblins plowed their spears through Gray's torso, catching him by surprise. Blood gushed from his stomach as the goblins stared at him with teary eyes, still shivering from fear.

"Well played," whispered Gray, coughing out blood as his smile slowly disappeared, his blood-red eyes going dim, and his vision turning black.

"M-master," a mix of emotions flooded Tesse's heart as her mind went blank. The tip of their spears protruded from Gray's back, her master's blood dripping to the floor as his body went limp on the spears.

The goblins were silent for a moment, before bursting out in joyful laughter, a look of relief visible on all their faces.

*Ragsgah Rashah* laughed the goblins, however, that was short-lived. In a flash, the muzzle of a sniper rifle pressed against one of the goblin's heads, the shoulder blade of the white-haired girl holding shifting back into place as if it were magic.

"U-unf-forgivable," whispered Tesse, rage seething into her words as she was unable to even complete that single phrase without stuttering in anger. The goblins were confused, they simply stared at her in silence, wondering what was going on.

A loud bang burst the eardrums of all those present in the room, causing stress cracks to appear on the windows.

A few goblins looked at Tesse in horror, their face covered in the brains of their ally, while the others were too confused to even process what was going on.

"You'll all die here," whispered Tesse in a cold voice, aiming at her next victim. The goblins snapped out of their stupor, fear turning into rage as they realized that she was but a single opponent.

A goblin thrust its spear at Tesse, aiming to puncture her stomach. She reacted quickly, using the length of the sniper to block the attack, following up with a kick to its head sending it flying towards the other side of the room.

The other goblins joined into the fray, slashes and slices sent in every which direction towards Tesse, wounds and cuts littered her body, but she seemed unphased. The cuts closed as fast as they appeared.

Using her sniper as a club, she swung at all her attackers, crouching into a sniping position once they had given her just a bit of breathing space.

Three bangs caused even more stress cracks to appear on the windows, the kick from the recoil causing Tesse's whole body to jerk backward.

"Master would be pleased to see this," thought Tesse, a single tear running down her cheek as she looked at the mess in front of her.

Two goblins had their brains splattered on the floor, while another was screaming in pain, its arm nothing more than a bloody stump.

The remaining goblins were all shell-shocked, drowned in confusion as their eardrums bled, their screams inaudible even to themselves.

Tesse rushed to Gray's side, his stomach bleeding out at a visible rate. 'Please be okay master,' thought Tesse, her tears mixing in with the blood that covered Gray's face.

A white light covered Gray's body, and a split second later Tesse was on the floor, while Gray stood up, anger distorting his facial features.

"I wanted to have fun, but you've gone and broken my toy," said Gray cooly, his mark glowing red as he looked at the goblins with an amused expression.

"You guys are lucky, you get to see me use something new," as Gray said this a blood red katana formed in his right hand, undecipherable encryptions written along its length.

[In order for the Kobold boss's fire enchantment to be added to the Mighty Sword, the Kobold boss's gemstone is required. Add Kobold Boss's gemstone to Mighty Sword?]  prompted the voice in Gray's head.

"Accept," whispered Gray, his pace slow as he walked towards the cowering goblins.

"Enjoy hell," laughed Gray as his katana went ablaze, its intense light gleaming in his eyes.

*Aghrah Afrhga* cried a goblin, its body set on fire. It ran around the room in agony, rolling on the ground as its green skin peeled back, turning ashy black.

The five remaining goblins used what little courage they had to charge at Gray, and a split second later a charred head dropped to the ground. Gray's eyes red with bloodlust.

His laugh echoed throughout the classroom as the goblins rushed at him with their spears, the katana transforming into a spear as well.

He thrust it at them, driving its flaming tip into one of the goblins' heads while jumping into the air to dodge the incoming attacks.

Gray lifted the spear into the air, dragging the goblin corpse into the air along with it.

"Yes, I quite like this attachment," laughed Gray wildly, the intensity of the flames on the spear becoming so harsh that the Goblin corpse was set ablaze. The smell of roasted flesh began to fill the room as the three remaining goblins ran for the exit.

"You can't leave without saying goodbye," said Gray, his eyes still fixated on the burning corpse before turning the spear into a crimson red vector pistol, the charred corpse slamming the ground all at once.

Glowing red runes ran along its length, shining with a mysterious power right before Gray pulled the trigger. "And anyway, you haven't had a taste of hell yet," commented Gray, a smile on his face as a stream of flaming bullets flew out of the gun, puncturing charred bullet holes all over the goblins backs.
