Chapter 93

I first searched the woman who used the bow . I wanted that bow anyway . It was a ranged weapon which would allow me to shoot from greater distance . My daggers would be used in close combat and mid range combat while bow would be used in long range combat . This would cover all sorts of combat ranges and it would be perfect .

I took the bow first and examined it . I didn't know much about bows but it looked usual and had no specific detailing or quality about it . Maybe I was wrong but looking at the stuff other people brought, this bow would be at most of similar quality as the swords I found on those three sword wielders . While bow was a weapon, it needed to be paired with arrows . I took the arrows that were in a quiver laying not far away . There were about 11 arrows left . But it was not a problem for me as I could make new arrows, although much worse than the ones in the quiver right now .

If I wanted to make some real arrows, I would have to find a furnace or build one to melt steel or even better purified steel . For now, I would have to create some arrows made from stones in order to practise my shooting . I then check the clothes of the woman and noticed a small bag inside . The bag contain gold, emblem depicting a bow with wings as well as a neckles . I took all the stuff and thought of something 'I wonder if this bag is the same as mine' . I tried to stuff couple of things inside but the bag would not fit them and finally, I broke it . 'It turns out that it was just a normal bag' I thought and continued to the last corpse .

The woman who fought with her fists had no weapon . That was to be expected, yet I saw some kind of gloves that she used to wear . I searched for the gloves and soon found them, all bloodied in what could only be described as pile of guts and bones . The gloves vere still intact and not destroyed . I examined them more closely and noticed that they had a very hard knuckle area but were also very st.u.r.dy . The gloves were made from leather but not just normal leather, it was some sort of special leather that was flexible but st.u.r.dy like a stone . I placed the gloves beside me as I needed to wash them properly before I could use them .

With my strength and those gloves, I could deal some serious damage with my bare hands . If used properly, it could be quite a nice weapon against some enemies . 'I will test them later on but before that, I need to check for other stuff that is on her or rather what is left of her' I thought . I only managed to find a small bag again and nothing else . I checked the contents of the bag and I said "Jackpot" . The bag contained stuff like supplies, fruits, water and also stuff like gold and even books . 'This must be the same type of bag that I have' I thought and smiled . I figured that this woman was their leader and therefore would be the richest . I was not wrong in thinking that and now I had another bag which I could fill up and strap onto Sh.e.l.ly .

'Although Sh.e.l.ly will not like the idea, it will get used to it I'm sure . Besides it would also train at the same time just like me' I thought and pocketed the bag . I decided to dig a hole and bury the remains of these people . , Not because of respect but because I didn't want bad smell to affect my training and mood . After a bit of work the hole was dug out and I collected all the remains and buried them there .

After a bit of work the hole was dug out and I collected all the remains and buried them there .

I thought 'That is that . I hope we have no other uninvited guests' . It was already late and I wanted to properly rest for the next day, I said to Sh.e.l.ly "Let us retire for the night, today was quite eventful" and we went back to out shelter for the night .

When I opened my eyes, I was back in the dream but it was different again . The dream was not like the others where the dark figure would either train or talk . This time there were 10 dark figures and they were killing each other . When one died, another would appear and so on . The dark figures used different methods to kill their opponents . One pair used their fists, the other pair used daggers while another used legs only .

I didn't know what to do as the figures would fight themselves to death all the time and didn't really pay attention to me . I sat down on the ground and observed . 'Maybe this is the purpose of this dream? To observe?' I thought while watching the fights .

The dark figures were dying left and right while skills of all sorts were displayed . I mostly paid attention to the dagger users . Their technique was weird and unpredictable, 'I wonder if I would be able to do this as well' . The techniques displayed seemed to be very profound, even more profound than Nick's . I couldn't see most of the attacks and the daggers were only visible when the target was. .h.i.t or when they missed and hit the ground .

While thinking like this, a dagger appeared in front of me . "What the . . ?" the next instant a dark hooded figure appeared with the same dagger and threw it at me . Then nothingness . I died and when I opened my eyes, the same scene repeated . A dagger appeared in front of me and next instance the dark figure . I tried to grab the dagger as quickly as I could but didn't manage to do it because I already died .

When I opened my eyes again, I shouted "What the f.u.c.k is this?!" and again died . I got fed up and as soon as I opened my eyes, I grabbed the dagger in front of me and threw it at the dark figure who was appearing . To my shock, the dark figure just evaded it and again lights out . I tried couple of times, throwing my dagger as soon as I woke up but to no avail . The dark figure was always faster than me or easily evaded my dagger . After about 10 tries, I woke up in my bed .

"What the h.e.l.l was that about?" I said out loud as I was stupefied . I was just sitting there thinking about the skills those dark figures used and suddenly a dagger materialised out of nowhere with the addition of a dark figure that immediately attacked me .

I tried to gather my thoughts . 'Let's think about it logically as stupid as it may sound . There are few things that I know about those weird dreams . First . Depending on my action during the day, I will receive corresponding dream' . My thoughts then continued 'If I train my skills, the dream I will have would be about a dark figure talking away and then killing me . If I were to train my body, the dark figure would do a set of weird exercises that I could mimic but not do any other training . The new dream contained multiple dark figures that killed each other with different set of techniques' .

I then summed up all of that into simple categories 'The dreams could be separated into skill, body and combat but there is a problem . I fought animals all the time and never had this dream . It only happened when I killed those humans . Does that mean that I have to kill people in order to have that dream?' . I wondered about it more and there was another crucial difference in the 3rd dream 'When I thought about the dark figures that fought each other with daggers, one such dagger simply materialised in front of me . What followed was my opponent . This never happened in other dreams . It seems I could affect the dream in some way when it came to fighting but couldn't the other two' .

This was weird indeed but I wasn't about to go and find a village in order to slaughter some people, just to test my thoughts . Yet the skills that those dark figures used seemed very profound . I wasn't able to even see most of them . 'I would like to study those techniques more than anything but I'm not a madman and besides, I have loads of stuff I can train' I thought to myself while leaving my bed to eat my breakfast and start the day .
