"Eren, go kill the archer bitch." The woman said, as she held her still heavily bleeding friend. One of the two remaining men nodded his head and entered the forest.
"Are you sure that you want to do that? You are only making this easier for me." Xavier said, and the three of them looked at him irritatedly
"Shut your mouth, you will be dead soon enough." The woman snarled
"You said that a few minutes ago, you know, back when you had five members and not four. Well, three and a half anyone." Xavier said condescendingly, and this pissed them off even more. The woman laid her friend gently on the ground, before throwing a deadly glare at Xavier. Both of them rushed towards him, and Xavier took in a deep breath, before rushing towards them as well. Neither of them were as fast as the next girl, Darla, but that didn't mean they were slow, and in his exhausted state, they might as well have been as fast as he was.
The man was the first to meet him, and he came in with an overhead swing and Xavier tried to deflect the blade, but received a wound to his shoulder. He gritted his teeth, and launched a savage counter attack, a knee strike to the man's crotch. The woman soon came in with a horizontal swing, forcing Xavier to block. She continued to strike at him furiously, forcing him to block each strike, and receive a few wounds, but he blocked anything fatal. Even so, the injuries and the exhaustion were taking it's toll, and he slipped up, causing him to get stabbed in the stomach.
"Die, you-" She said, but never managed to finish her sentence, as Xavier grabbed her hand firmly, and swung his sword at her neck.
[You have slain a member of your own species. 230 points have been transferred.]
[You are able to purchase +6 VIT for 100 Points. Do you wish to make this purchase?].
[Yes] [No]
'Yes.' Xavier thought as he grunted and pulled out the sword. A cool sensation filled his body, and the bleeding slowed down as soon as he pulled out the sword, but even so, he still fell to the ground. He fell right infront of the corpse of the woman he killed, making him groan even more.
"You bastard." The man said, as he unsteadily got to his feet, but before he could even get up properly, he felt something pierce him in the back.
"I won't let you hurt Xavier anymore you bastard." Maria said as she came out of the bushes, her bow in hand and a serious expression on her face. That was the last thing the man saw before he fell to the ground, dead.
"Well, it seems I underestimated you." Rosie said as she pulled out her sword out of Darla, and limped over while holding her stomach. She was still injured from the wolf attack, and even though the healing stopped, the wounds were still there.
"Xavier!!!" Maria screamed as she ran over to him, and helped him up, as he coughed up some blood.
[You are able to purchase +1 VIT and + 4 STR for 70 Points. Do you wish to make this purchase?]
[Yes] [No]
'Yes.' Xavier said, as he added another point of vitality just to make sure.

The bleeding stopped, but he was still in a world pain.
"Some food might help my recovery." Xavier said and Maria nodded her head, before climbing the tree overhead. She started picking some fruits and dropping them to the ground.
"Here, you left this over there. And, you look like shit for someone who is alive." Rosie said, handing him the bag and sitting beside him.
"Same to you." Xavier said, and took the bag, before taking up one of the fruits and eating it.
"I really do owe you guys a lot. So is there anything I can do? I just got my hands on quite a few points." Rosie offered
"Since you're being generous, I wouldn't mind some clothes. Something clean please." Xavier said and Rosie nodded her head with a smile. All of their clothes were plain, dull clothing when they got them, but now, they were rags. Dirty rags soaked with the blood of multiple creatures.
"Will do. But before that, we have a pressing issue. The both of us are severely injured and we only have enough monster stones for two." Rosie said and Xavier groaned.
