Once everything was finished up, everyone was taking a breather before heading back into the cave. The young boys were walking over goblin bodies and if they so much as twitched a sword was stabbed into their skulls.
Chase and the group were surrounding Damian who was barely keeping his helmet on. "I'm liking these changes" Damian said, smiling and clenching a fist.
It was clear now that whatever he was going to evolve into would love battle. Probably some berserker demon class. "Don't over exert yourself" Chase warned.
"what are you talking about?"
Chase looked over his shoulders to see the elder instructing the boys on ways to fight inside of a cave. Ensuring he wasn't looking.
"It seems like when we go far enough, our features become more inhuman. Keep your wits about you and stay calm."
"Oh, right" he seemed to simmer down a bit.
They didn't need their identities exposed already. Andrew had blue magic symbols shining on his sleeves. He was switching back to water magic now that everyone was watching.
'I also won't be using any claws. It seems that the minor things Vantriel was able to do in my body, I can also replicate to a small degree'
Once everyone was settled they gathered in front of the cave, intending to spearhead the charge. Yet as they stood there the boys still gossiped. "Should we just stand back?"
"If anything gets past them, it's barreling through us"
It seemed as if they were irrelevant.
After seeing that kind of display, they did not wish to come across any sort of orc. Any monster in any rank above zero would mutilate them.
"Enough babbling" Earl shouted, eager to end this. Chase was at the cave entrance with the rest. The cave was large, wide enough to fit 3 semi trucks side by side. As everyone got in, the boys began equipping the knives that were already in handles on the armor they wore.
The cave was dark and the air was humid, stinky. Charles was the main one under earl as his grandson. He lead the charge of young men. Earl now had a weapon out as well, a sword with a gem in at the hilt.
holes littered the walls, enough to fit small humans, or in this case goblins. "Watch yourselves" Earl said, prompting all the boys to watch their feet and back, scared of being ambushed.
Eventually everyone got to a more open space, being 20 feet in height. Massive room of pure rock where goblins were not only resting in some areas, but eating rotting slop that nobody wanted to guess the origins of.
Others were walking around with weapons, not really doing anything. They would probably be looking for weaker goblins to extort if Chase didn't come into view.
"Death is merciful compared to living like this"
Chase said, starting pitifully at the 70 goblins and 5 orcs in the vicinity. Their growls became angry, as they realized intruders waltzed in
"Let's end this"
