The death and the strawberry.
I wake up and crawl back towards a tree and prop my back up on it and watch what's happening.
The giant human is now glowing with a tinge of yellow lightining crackling around him as he is pushes back by a hulking mass of destruction,
system identify that thing.

This is a good time to check my stats while they have a staring contest.
My level went up so that's cool but what's this?
[Awakening ready]
I hold up the tanto and inspect it, it glows brightly with a crimson tinge.
(Awaken me master)
Whoa it talks now.
[awaken blade]
[yes] [no]
obviously yes.
The tanto floats slightly out of my hand and starts spinning slowly before it turns into a flash and what pops out is a short sleek nodachi with half of the blade red and half of the blade black.
[A special evolution has a occured from excess blood consumption]
special evolution?
[Boosted stats, sword has requested a name]
A name huh, let me think.
I'll name it Masamune after the one and only.
[Processing name benefits]
[Acquired Masamune +90 physical damage and +20 beast breathing ]
Beast breathing what does that mean?
[???????????]
um ok.
The 90 damage is cool though.
I hold up the sword and whisper to it.
"Welcome to the world Masamune."
(thank you master, I will serve you well and put Excalibur to shame)
I sheath the sword and look up at the battle which still rages on between the minotaur.
The giant human is still glowing and pushing back the minotaur now.
The minotaur struggles to block the human.
I try to get up but a searing pain envelops my ribs and I spurt blood.
"Young blood dont die!"
What who said that.
I look around until I look directly above me and guess who is hanging in the tree above me. that damned lich I call out to him.
"why do you keep helping me?"
and he replies shortly after a few thoughts.
"Because you are special and you are growing extremely fast and I will take you as my student when you are ready."
Kuntaro wastes no time and walks over to the shamans corpse before whispering to himself.
"Such, talent cant be wasted."
The lich then channels energy into the corpse reforming the head and not before long Kuntaro vanishes into the shadows.
Well then that happened.
I continue observing the battle as the 2 become bloodied more and more.
I hear a light shuffling and look towards the noise and see the goblin shaman getting up and shaking his head and disbelief and I call out to him and he looks at me wide eyed before running up to me and crouching down next to me.
He utters a incantation and a light yellow envelops my wounds and slowly my hp goes back to normal I stand up with some struggle but manage to hold myself up and the goblin looks up to me with thankful face.
(the goblins are like from that time I reincarnated as a slime so they dont look absolutely putrid and some are actually quite cute!)
I crouch down and pat the little goblin on the head and he smiles wisely before pulling out a small scroll.
[Unnamed lvl 12 goblin shaman requests blood pact]
What's a blood pact?
[2 people are bound and gain double exp when together]
Wow, that's pretty good
The little goblin holds out his hand and slashes his finger with his nail
A small drop of blood the drop of fate the binding blood fates and destinies have flipped on their head at this moment as I slice my finger over the scroll mixing our blood under the text.
[blood pact with Unnamed lvl 12 goblin shaman]
The scroll slowly disappears into dust as a small tattooe appears on both of our forearms.
The little goblin looks up to me and says.
"Thank you so much, I could tell you have much more potential then me, but we must help the minotaur quickly!"
I revert from my zoned out state and look up at the clash and pick up the goblin onto my shoulders.
"little buddy you will watch my back and shoot spells alright"
I ask the goblin and he quickly starts conjuring some mana as we flank around the giant and I pull out.
[Masamune]
The giant man looks back disgruntled before taking massive blow in the shoulder from the minotaur and falling back on one of his knees breathing heavily.
I look at the foe and memories pass through my head of watching him rip and tear and throwing me around like a ragdoll.
My eyes turn red with rage as one last memory passes through my head.
A muscular man with a boar head stabbing a monster in the throat.
I slowly aproach the labored human from behind and quickly jump up in the air and spin Uttering under my breath.
"First fang:Pierce"
I quickly land on the giant and stab
[Masamune]
Through his neck.
I roll the blade around and turn it ripping it out making a deep laceration into his arteries.
[Goliath Mark killed]
[level up]
[level up]
What... did I just do?
The minotaur sighs before collapsing onto his face and snoring.
The goblin wich flew off my back mid spin sits in disbelief that we actually won.

So that move was beast breathing I guess.
System what does beast breathing actually do besides moves?
[Gives user double stats when performing beast breathing moves and has a ]
I guess theres more to this than it seems even the system wont tell me, enough with stats let's check up on the others.
I get off of the humans corpse and wall over to the little goblin and see he is now level 15 from this battle wich is a huge jump for not doing much and the minotaur didn't level up but was pushed to its limits.
I walk over to the sleeping minotaur and the little goblin rushes over and starts healing it as it snores.
After a half an hour the minotaur wakes up and shakes its head before looking up to me standing over it with a red glint from the glowing
[Masamune]
The minotaur screams.
"Furry friend ok!"
Before picking me up and hugging me and thank the gods my armor took it or I would have been in a world of pain.
The minotaur releases me from its grasp and smiles at me and saying.
"I have many fwinds that are gnoll so I had to hwelp you!"
I stumble back responding.
"That's cool and all but we have to go now, it was good seeing you!"
I then pick up the little goblin and run, that thing has the intelligence of a 3 year old and is a ticking time bomb I dont want to be friends with it.
The minotaur looks ok surprise and sighs before pulling off one of the humans arms and chomping down on it.
We find the mouth of a cave and enter it and the little goblin jumps down from my back and sits down twiddling with some mana before making a light orb that hums lightly as it spreads light through the cave .
I sit down and start making a bed with some fur.
The goblin looks at me before a tear forms in his eyes as he stutters.
"All my brothers are dead, everyone is dead we just want peace but the humans keep invading our home and taking our things, why did the gods make us fodder for their own strength and greed, Please dont leave me mister."
I look at the goblin crying before walking up to him and giving him a pat on the head before speaking.
"I will never leave you, I've committed many sins and now is the time to repent, for there is only death and the strawberry now.."
... ..
"The goliath dead impossible, send all reinforcements to the first floor now you idiots!"
[A/N To all the people that think I dropped this I havent, im currently working on a mass release so expect some more chapters soon-ish!]
