Chapter 3 - Angry Behavior

The next day, Razwold wakes up and feels a sudden sharp pain from his feet. He grunts as he stretch his leg straight. He said, "This... is horrible." He tries to stand up with his wobbly feet and use the steel sword as a cane to stand up. He grit his teeth and grips the sword handle very tightly.

Waiting until the pain is gone, Razwold continues to travel through the wasteland. Few Stranglers stop his tracks and he kills them by destroying their arms so that they cannot hold him. Too bad the sword isn't that sharp to hack through their flesh. "Cursed savages." Razwold said when he got scratched to his right forearm.

Some Stranglers have valuable loots in them that Razwold can use, such as a healroot medicine that can patch his wounds, some apparels that somehow still in good condition. With repeat of fighting the Stranglers, Razwold gains more melee combat experience and because he is passionate of it, he feels ecstatic.

Another day is almost over and Razwold is eating the dried meat to ease his hunger. He isn't happy about the taste and sitting on the uncomfortable environment. He feels very pathetic about himself, being lost to the desert without any reason.

The next day, Razwold wakes up and got shocked by the group of Giant Scorpions surrounding him. The Giant Scorpion is a dangerous predator in the desert. Their sharp claws can crush rocks and their stinger induces venom that can incapacitate an elephant. There are 6 Giant Scorpions surrounding Razwold and getting out of there isn't easy as these scorpions are known to be faster than a normal human.

One way to kill the Giant Scorpion is to crush its head with a blunt object like a Warhammer. But unfortunately for Razwold, he only has a steel sword with poor quality. Hitting it against the hard exoskeleton of the monster may only lose its durability. Razwold could only wish for a miracle to happen.

Two Giant Scorpion simultaneously lunge towards Razwold. Razwold ducks down and moves out of the way. Suddenly, one beast approaches him from behind and swings its claw, hitting Razwold. Razwold winced in pain as his wound from behind weakens him.

A Giant Scorpion is about to sting him with its stinger. It was very fast and it cannot be dodged. Razwold feels powerless and is about to give in. But inside of him, a surge of power explodes. His eyes turned from red to purple and his face expresses an intense hatred towards the Giant Scorpion. "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU VILE BEAST!!!" Razwold roared loudly and shakes the whole area.

The attacking Giant Scorpion got terrified and backs away. All other Giant Scorpions burrows underground to hide from Razwold. His mighty roar saved him from his certain demise. When he calmed down, Razwold questions himself of what just happened. "What is happening to me?" Razwold asked himself, wondering if he has gone crazy.

The wound on his back is aching, making him kneel down. He looks around and said, "I need to get out of this bewitching land as soon as possible." After a few moments of resting, Razwold continues his journey, looking for his way home.
