The flame`y system window disappeared after a short while, minimalizing itself into the fire in Adam`s chest. He fixed his grip on a beaten-up fire extinguisher, shook off the first blood and straighten up his posture.
'I`m not even surprised at this point' he mumbled to himself.
People around started to act weird, moving hands in the air or just extensively rubbing their eyes. Others, not so calm ,were crying in corners of buildings or trying to pray.
'So I`m not the only one who saw that thing'
A middle aged bald man, came to a nearby cafeteria and ripped a 2 table legs off, someone else tried to break a street sign. Still, most were terrified and scattered around.
The pack of goblins were approaching as the gate behind them continued to pulse, looking ready to summon more enemies.
"ALRIGHT PEOPLE" Adam said loud and clear to those behind him, who were ready to fight.
"Who`s ready to kill some green bastards" with a smirk on his face
No one said anything, no happy *YEAH*, no claps. Silence, as basically no one was in a good mood. No one, except Adam and the goblins of course.
'Yea well makes sense.'
The green pack started to slow down, and individual goblins moved forward.
So did the human side, bigger and better armed people, Adam was apparently the best armed of all, also started to walk forward.
And then faster, charging at each other with weapons ready to kill.
"DIEEEE" /*Skreeeeeee*
Metal hit the bones of goblins, bone blades and spears hit the flesh of humans, green and red blood splattered around.
Adam beat the living hell out of the first charger, his spear grazed his stomach and Adam`s improvised mace smashed his shoulders. After dis-arming the monster, a swift hit to the head finished the thing.
The 2 table-legs man stabbed both of them into a goblin next to him and ripped them out in a bloody show, while some guy with a chair got his legged slashed in half.
Luckily, humanity side seemed to be winning, as out of the 40 or so green s**ts only 10 remained. Fighting people though around 5 died and 3 were crawling away, bleeding badly.
Adam was still fighting, bleeding slightly but mostly fine. His smile turned into a screaming anger, but that doesn`t change the fact, that his mind was still just as excited .
'MORE. BRING ME MORE' sometimes he just thought that, sometimes it slipped out of his mouth, no one seemed to care anyways. If anyone could hear him, they were about to be killed by another goblin so they weren`t paying attention.
10 minutes and 10 dead goblins later, the humans have won.
4 were left standing, rest dead or heavily wounded.
Adam, covered in green blood, with multiple cuts on his body and ripped clothes was panting of tiredness. Bald guy, a different chair-wielding lady and some teenager with a spear stolen from a goblin, were in even worse shape, but standing still.
Notification window popped-out of Adam`s chest

'Yes please' Adam pressed the invisible button in the air.
Thankfully, he wasn`t insane and others seemed to be doing the same.
His flame started to shake, change size and almost disappear for second, then bursting out , becoming even larger than Adam, giving him a veil of fire. Well more like an orange glow with a slight fire texture, but Adam`s mind might have exaggerated a little.
The fire wasn`t burning, it was hot but pleasantly hot. His body felt good, relaxed.
His wounds started to close, blood smoked away and his thoughts calmed down.
*poof* like a smoke grenade, he was covered in a small cloud of his own making.
*Cough Cough* as he waved it away, a new window shot out in his face

questioning nothing "Okey", he closed it, and another one opened up.

[Please wait]
At least this one closed automatically.
Silence and peace from notification, made the night suddenly colder.
Adam finally turned around and saw the state of the street.
Blood of 2 colors, broken weapons and destroyed surroundings.
People and goblins, dead, some humans still alive but devastated.
Those who fought at least got a similar treatment to Adam and were sort of okay.
There were also those however, that ran away, or hid, or tried both. Either mentally scarred and crying or physically scarred and dying.
Adam stood still. no guilt, no excitement anymore but no compassion either.
Just. Tired.
