"Alright, let's go change this tradition of yours."
I say as I pick her up and put her on my back. She cries softly as I carry her towards direction she came from.
"So where am I going? I need directions."
I ask as she point to our left with difficulty.
I must've done a lot of damage throwing her against that tree.
I think as I start walking where she pointed. I hear a dragging sound, quickly realizing it's her feet on the ground.
Damn, these things are tall.
I keep walking and after a minute see a dim light in the distance. I hear rustling around me, but continue walking. After several more minutes I emerge into a clearing with several tents and almost 50 of these creatures. I see several hurry into their tents as a large one emerges from a noticeably larger housing.
"Glartha, why are you on the back of this filth?"
He asks in a deep tone as I set her down. She crawls on her knees for a second before collapsing.
"Filth, what is wrong with Glartha?"
He asks angrily and I glare at him.
"For starters, the names Dante. Not filth."
I growl as he laughs and walks towards me. As he gets closer I can tell he stands almost 15 feet tall.
"Human filth, answer my question and I may let you leave."
He snarls as he leans down face to face with me.
"She lost a fight with me, but that's not why I'm here. I'm here to change this system of letting your young get themselves killed with no supervision over their test."
I say as he laughs.
"Glartha lost to human trash? Gah! Then no wonder her children did as well. Pathetic offspring will come from pathetic parents. I'm assuming why that's why you're so naive?"
He licks his lips and teeth while sniffing me.
"You have no right to talk about them."
I say as I clench my fist.
"Then by all means, show me your streng-"
I quickly knee him in the chin and kick him back away from me. As he slide back I hold out my hand.
"[Telekinesis 4]."
I say as he floats off the ground.
"No! There are no magic casters with a high strength!"
He yells as I glare at him. Hushed whispers and panic starts setting in amongst the group.
"Listen, I may spare you if you let me know a few things I want to know."
I say as he growls and swings wildly at the air.
"First, what's your level? The level of those around you? You must know the strength of your underlings?"
I remark as he continues to swing wildly.
"Grr. Fine. I can tell you my level, but I don't know the levels of the rest of my pack! My level is fourty-four!"
He yells as I smirk and slam him to the ground.
"Also, how much do you weigh?"
I ask as he glares at me.
"How would I know?!"
He screams as I sigh.
"Guess you really are just a dumb beast after all. But here's my olive branch, change your tradition so that your young won't be murdered so easily. If you do that I'll leave."
I growl as he claws the ground in front of him.
"You dare, defeat our young and our warriors, then demand we change our ways!"
He yells as I nod.
"Yes, because to be frank, you are all weak. But some of you show compassion for your young, to which I have a soft spot."
I stare at him as he struggles to break free.
"You get cocky. You are unbelievably cocky! To think a human would make me use my trump card! [Rage] and [Greater Rage]!"
He screams as his fur stands up. He almost doubles in size as he gets insanely strong and heavy.
"A skill I possess as leader of our pack!"
He yells as he grabs the ground and starts pulling himself forward. I quickly hold him up off the ground and sigh.
"I really don't think you understand how t-"
Before I can finish a slash goes across my face.
[-50 HP]
[+47 HP]
How did he?
I stare up at him as he swings towards me again, one more cutting my face.
[-50 HP]
[+47 HP]
He's attacking me with air pressure?!
I grit my teeth and hold out my other hand.
"[Fireball 2]! [Fireball 2]! [Fireball 2]!"
I yell as I shoot 6 fireballs up to him. The fire whips and slaps the ground burning a few tents and setting the trees on fire. I feel myself out of breath as I fall to one knee. I hear a loud crash as I see the leader on one knee, partially on fire.
"Human, you may have decently strong magic. But know your place, among the lesser race!"
He screams as he lunges towards me.
I quickly stand up and lunge towards him as well. His eyes show that my reaction shocked him. In the half a second he pauses from confusion, I punch him as hard as I can in the throat.
He quickly uppercuts me as my fist connects. I cough up a little blood as I see the notice.
[-380 HP]
[+47 HP]
As I fly up into the air a few feet, he grabs me and spikes me down against a tree.
[-480 HP]
[+47 HP]
Shit, I overestimated how long [Telekinesis 4] would last.
I stumble to my feet as he lunges and kicks me in the side. I get launched almost 50 feet away straight against another tree.
[-480 HP]
[+47 HP]
I stand up and ready my fists.
If I'm not careful, this might be it for me. Focus.
I take a deep breath as it charges me. It swings down with its claw but I manage to side step it. As its claws plant into the ground, I manage to jump and punch its elbow, punching the bone through the skin.
He screams in agony as he falls back and grabs his arm. I quickly lunge at him and punch him in the throat multiple times until I dig through. As he lays bleeding and choking on his blood I see the entire village watching.
