Chapter 5 - Forest Giant Bears

"Oh My Gods, Atli Heads Just Flew Off...!!!" Screams Robin.

"Please Buy Me Some Times And Plays With That Giants, Bjorn..!!! Lets Not Make Atli Dying In Vain..!!!" Shouts Ranu.

"Take Cares And Dont Dies Yet....!!!" He adds.

Right now in front of Bjorn, Standing talls a forest giants bears. It's a harmful species that shouldn't be in this forest.

It's all started 7 days ago, when Bjorn headed to the guilds after his day off. He wouldn't never expect to be in this kind of situations.

Lets go back and jumps to the 7 days befores.

"Oh my favorites adventurers has comes..!! The Mighty Bjorn has come...!!!" Said a familiar old man voices to Bjorn as he entered the guilds that days.

"Come here, I have the kind of quest that you will like to do. A minimum rewarded quest for it's high risk from a places that are pretty far aways that no one else take in this past two days." he adds.

The old man that talks to Bjorn are Hans the receptionist guilds and manager. The adventurers usually just calls him old man. He is a retired 50 years old soldiers that are employed by the associations.

"What did you get for me todays, old man...?" Said Bjorn.

"It's a mysterious beast hunting quest that roams around Sa'an Forest south from Nil villages. It's already claimed 21 victims when the quest reaches here." Said old man Hans.

"The problems are the descriptions of this beast. there is only the descriptions from 2 victims that survives in 2 different attacks from the beast." he adds.

"One said that it was black, as huge as caravans and can easily decapitates horses. The other said that it's enormous and has terrifying roars." Explains him.

"Both descriptions are too vague and the villages itself has barely enough moneys when Cedric done calculates the cost." He adds.

"A beast as big as a caravans? What is the minimums party for this quest?" Ask Bjorn.

"We decides that it has to be 8 persons party minimums. The pays is pretty goods for 8 persons, even for 12 persons it's a reasonable rewards. But undescribed beast that size are too terrifying to take down." Explain Hans.

"That way i am waiting for you, the only adventurers who are once honored with a gold adventurers tags in this small towns." he adds

"I want you to leads a party from the brave and desperates around here. If it's you many of them will willingly volunters." Ask old man Hans to Bjorn.

Bjorn thinking a little bit about the quest before he decides that times. The Sa'am forest are around 6 days up south on horses. So he need to shops for more supplies and nessecities.

The supplies are not a problem for him. He is more worried about who he should take with him for this quest.

Adventurers comes from a different backgrounds but they are mostly a peasant who seeks more fortunes. Bjorn knows very well that averages silver tags adventurers are as skilled or less as ordianary mercenaries.

And in his small towns there is few talented ones that stays like him. So his criteria are silver tags and has a horses since the quest are far aways. Not long after that in the evening, a party of all silvers adventurers was formed by Bjorn.

Bjorn party was a party consist of 10 silvers tags adventurers from the towns including him.

One was From Robin party that agree to join him. It was a groups of 7 silvers tags adventurers. There is Robin, Atli, Mist ,Sabt, Gwan as their frontlines while Bard and Zak as their scout and archers.

The other two are Ranu and Yash, two silvers adventurers that decides to join him.

Bjorn party consist of 6 melee and 4 archers. All of them except Yash who was elf are humans. Their party set out from towns the next mornings after planning and partying the night before.

They spend their 6 days trips to get to known about each others. Telling about each of their own quest and the adventures that they did in the past. Talking about each of their belief and mostly asking about their unusual elf friends lives and cultures.

They arrives on Nil villages at days 6 since they depart from towns. They begins by asking more questions to the villagers about the rumoured beast.

The villagers bring them fortunate news that are also unfortunates for Bjorn party.

Their villages chief says that the mysterious beast are a overgrown black bears that are as big as normal passengers caravans.

From villages chief descriptions, all of them knows that the beast wasn't overgrown black bears but it was a forest giant bears. They've known as the seconds largest bears species that are native from the beast forest.

That news are pretty bad since the forest giant bears presences will scares even the bravest horses, so none of Bjorn teams and himself can use one.

They leave and trust their horses in the hands of the villagers and hoping that they all can ride it back homes again after they are done with their quest.

Forest giant bears are a creatures that all of them never fought befores. Even for Bjorn, in all his 5 years as a knight and 3 years as a adventurers. He never faced such a foes before.

He slays mostly Bandits, Goblins and Orcs that threatening poor villages so he kinda lacks knowledges to faces against such a beast forest dwellers foes like the forest giant bears.

All what Bjorn knows about the bears that are now furiously moving it's claws to attack him are that their claws and powers can easily tears humans flesh in two. Like what just unfortunately happens to Atli.

Right now, Bjorn,Robin and 3 of his teams has to dodges and kite the ferocious bears that beheaded Atli just now. While Ranu and the other 3 archers shoots at it with their bows.

"It's seems that our arrows cant penetrates deepers and our poisons are too weaks for him." Said Yash to the other archers.

"Yeah, let's changes our targets and aims at his legs." said Zak.

They are in dire situations right now as they lose 1 persons and the poisons on their arrows seems to do next to nothing to the bears.

Bjorn and the other at the frontline busy diverting the bear attention one after another while looking for the opening to attack it. And the archers on the back busy drawn their arrows and shoot it from the save distances.

'Damn, his size and reach are too big. There is no way to reach it vitals without getting hit by those sharps claws.' Bjorn thought to himself while the bear drawn his attentions at him.

Suddenly 3 arrows hitting the bear right paws that he swings at Bjorn. The bear roars as it get annoyed by the arrows that stuck at it paws. Bjorn that see the arrows hitting it paws suddenly get an ideas.

He swing his trusty Pollaxe at the bear paws when it was still standing and distracted by the arrows that hit it.

Bjorn doing a wide and powerful swings, betting his chances at the enraged bears that are distracted. He can feel his Pollaxe penetrates it flesh and hitting it bones. A loud whacking noises can be heards a split seconds after it happens.

Bjorn noticed that bear paws has a joints around it wrist just like humans hands, wich is one of the spots where he usually attacks to renders even the most armored man useless in battle.

He founds a same weak spots that all bipedal creatures had on the beast that stands more than two times his height. The bears left paws flews from the clean cuts of Bjorn Pollaxe.

'It's a small punishment for what you do to Atli.' Thought Bjorn as he see the bear left paws detached from it arms.

The bear growling in pains as it feels the pains and noticed his left paws are gone. It feels more enraged toward Bjorn and fully turn it attentions at him. Both of them are facing each other, ready to kills on their next moves.

Suddenly a multiple stabs noises can be heards one after another. Robin and the others that completely get ignored by it, attacked the moment it let his guards down. 3 boar spears and 1 billhooks stabbed on each side of it abdomen.

They stabs and pull fastly as the bears swings it paws that are left the moment it feels something stabbing his body.

The moment the bear turn it attentions to others that stabbing him, Bjorn take his chances to attacks the bear unguarded legs. He swings his Pollaxe with all his power towards the bear right legs joints.

Like chopping a big trees, his Pollaxe cant completely chop it off in one swings. But the moment Bjorn pull his Pollaxe from it legs, the bear lost it balances and fell down.

Even after it fall to the grounds, the bear didn't lose any of it ferociousness. He fastly swing his right paws toward Bjorn the moment it feels pains on it legs. That swings manages to lands and destroy Bjorn bracers and a part of his mail armor.

Bjorn were fortunate enough as he has been hit by a pretty weak attacks. If the bear were not losing his balances and using it full powers, Bjorn arms will definitely get torn off.

Bjorn party are started to carefully stabbed it one after another as the bears cant stands on it two feets anymores. They poke and land a stabs everytimes the bear getting distracted and facing the other ways.

They decides to slowly fatigued it and let it falls on it own exhaustions. They had easier times as the bear get slowed down so much and they can distract it one after anothers.

Seeing his party were doing fine attacking and distracting it, Bjorn withdarwn slightly without the bear noticing. He give a sign towards Robin and the other to keep distracting it.

He then walks toward Atli headless bodies. His hand are still holding his spears tightly even on his death. He began to gently remove a finger after a fingers that holds the spears.

He grabs Atli spears after he release the spears from it's owners holds. He then begins to looks at the still enraged bear that are distracted.

He take a deep breath and gains his focus. Then he lift Atli spears into throwing positions. Waiting in silences to get the right moment to end that growling big furs in one strikes.

Bjorn holds his breath and patiently waiting. Until that moment really comes.

When the bear turning his attentions toward Gwan that faced northeast, It was the moment when Bjorn very sure to not miss. He move all his powers toward his upper body and from the upper body toward his right arms.

He release his breath and use his powers that he all gathers from his body to the spears as he throw it with all his might.

The spears flew toward the directions of the ferocious bears and...
