" Little Girl, How did your talk with the barbarians go?" A large old man, with his upper body, only covered with armour and scars on his face spoke. He was bald and had a long beard and had a Claymore type sword on his back.
" Old man Steel, you look anxious what's the reason." The doctor asked.
" I think I should tell you, it seems one of my kind is following us. I had sensed them in the free city and now they are even here."
" Are they dangerous?"
" I can't tell if they are close then maybe I can tell."
" You once said that you can hide your smell, then that means whoever it is, must be skilled to follow you even here." The doctor said.
" Yes, you may be right,"

" H-Hey, Conan, Are you sure they will not attack us?" Ben asked when he walked through the street where many Barbarians were. They looked at the three people with curiosity, the three of them were being accompanied by a Barbarian as well.
" Honestly I am amazed, They are so big and human-like." Yelena was also looking here and there. " But I don't think we have anything to do here?"
" Why don't we ask the man?" Conan said and turn towards the Barbarian guard following them.
Conan started to speak in a language that was understood by the barbarian.
The barbarian seemed to be explaining what they can do for fun here in this Village.
" It seems there is some kind of weightlifting contest that is popular here in the Village. I am going to participate, they said that there is a big reward."
" I am going to participate as well then," Yelena said. Only Ben seemed to be a little reluctant among the group, he sighed and followed them from behind.
Soon they reached an area type structure that was made of wood and stones, the structure looked like a normal fighting arena. The three of them could see various people coming and trying to lift large stones on their shoulders. The stones were the same size as the height of an average Barbarian.
Conan quickly jumped into the Arena while the other two sat on the place to spectate.
" Now, We have a human, trying to Win the big thing, let's cheer him on for his efforts." The entire arena was filled with laughter and boos when Conan entered the ring.
Conan went toward the square shape stone, which was hard to grab. He put pressure through his fingers which directly dug into the stone, and he lifted the stone from one side and then slowly he let his body below the stone and using his back and leg lifted the stone.
" He is doing it, He is lifting it." A Barbarian spoke.
" How is that possible, that's a human right." Another spoke, and everyone started to stand up in admiration.
Some ran towards the first row seats to watch, the entire Arena was filled with chaos. Everyone who was booing at first started to cheer for Conan to completely lift the large stone.
" He isn't even using Aura, from his breathing I can tell that he is not channelling other energies as well. It's his raw strength." Yelena looked more surprised than anyone.
" Is he even human? I mean come on, I could never do that even in a million years. Even if I trained hard, it is absurd? And what the hell is wrong here, everything is so noisy." Ben was shocked and disturbed by what Conan is capable of, only one thing ran through his mind that he will never be able to catch up to him.
It was too heavy and Conan was still only halfway through the lifting process. Then slowly, he raised himself and completely lifted the large stone above his shoulder then using both of his hands above in the sky.
The large stone twice the size of Conan was being lifted by him. All of the barbarians had gone mad with excitement and were making loud noises, some were slapping their chests to show their appreciation and some couldn't get their eyes off the human lifting the stone they couldn't.

Steel was watching everything, he had come looking for Conan. He quietly observed him from the moment he had entered the arena.
' This smell, He is a Royal. But, this can't be real, there was only one royal, Have I finally found out about her. Lady Veronica is this boy your son?' Steel thought to himself.
' How should I approach him? Should I go meet him now? Who would have thought that fate would make such a thing happen so suddenly for a traitor like me?' Steel was too nervous he kept looking at the young man, as his hands and whole body shivered just seeing the strength of the boy. There was no doubt in his mind that the person with the smell of the Royal family of werewolves and divine wolves was in front of his eyes.
