Haruki finally drew the blade strapped to his waist. It was a blood red blade and had black guard and handle. The blade slightly vibrated as the dim sunlight bounced off its edges.
"I guess the writer is an amateur. Still hasn't thought of a solution..."
Rhistel sighed at the sight. She channeled holy magic into her arrows and softly chanted.

The arrows took flight as soon as Rhistel loosened her hold. It served as a distraction towards the Gigantic Skeleton. Giving Haruki ample enough time to charge towards the skeleton.
Haruki drew his blade and slashed horizontaly aiming directly at the skeletons ankle joints.
However, it's massive frame made others think that it's speed as subpar. That isn't the case for this one. It easily swatted Haruki away with its palm slamming him towards a nearby tree.
A booming sound was followed by Haruki crashing towards a nearby tree. The tree was bent on an unnatural angle and a huge palm print was embedded in the tree. Haruki on the other hand was buried inside the tree.
Rhistel furrowed her brows, "Oi! Kaz! You still breathing?" She shouted but recieved no answer.
Haruki slowly slid down from the tree, his blood pouring all over. He coughed a mouthful of blood as he knelt on the ground. He clicked his tongue and stood up.
"Fuck! You're supposed to freeze there and show my back story..."
He brandished his blade and dashed towards the skeletons legs. "You're supposed to be slow! Follow the fucking script!" He bellowed as he slashed at its feet. His blade cut deep but not enough for the skeleton to be truly injured.
Rhistel at this point forgot to barrage the skeleton with holy arrows. She was ouring her focus towards Kaz who looked like he's one foot inside the grave yet still as chipper as always.
After a while of Haruki dodging and weaving between strikes Rhistel sighed, "If I manage to live another day. I'll demote you... Didn't you read the manual?!? Undead are weak to holy magic! Bless your weapon and aim at its spine or head!" She bellowed with a red face.
Haruki then stared at her in a daze. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" The elven woman's shoulders drooped. "Three times..." She said in a whisper. "I told you three fucking times! But you're too busy flirting with the barmaids! That's it you're demoted two ranks!" She was wholly pissed.
"I even told you before we left at the gates!!!" She said in complete resignation.
"Boo! You're a terrible superior I'll report you to HR!" He said in protest. He leapt backwards and landed beside Rhistel. She looked at him with a burning glare. "Coat your blade with holy magic now!"
He looked at her straight in the eye and raised his left eyebrow. "How can you demote me when I just joined? I literally have the lowest rank."
The elven woman looked at him then and then stated at the giant skeleton with hollowed eyes. "Oh wow. I'm turning 137 this year and I still haven't snagged a man. This is how it ends?" She let out a dry chuckle as the skeleton once more brandished its Axe.
Haruki stepped forwards and steadied his stance. As if he was anticipating the monsters blade. His eyes turned ferocious as his posture lowered. His blade glistened from the sun's rays peeking through the tall forest trees.
As the blade neared at an absurd speed Haruki's eyes lit up and stopped dead in his tracks. "Oh wait, shit. I Don't know any magi-...-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiicc!!!!! " His voice echoed as he was flung across the dense forest.
"Mother Nature... I'm not doubting your words. But it's kind of hard to believe right now..." Rhistel said as she said at the idiocy taking place right in front of her.
Rhistel gawked at her moronic companion. After a few seconds the regained a bit of clarity and gave the giant skeleton a beautiful smile as she turned tail and ran towards the opposite direction. The Giant skeleton growled as it turned his head. However he ignored the elf and focused on the annoying human. Its steps moved further and further away from her. She heaved a sigh of relief and stared at the direction where Haruki was thrown.
She sighed and with a glare flung a middle finger in his general direction and stomped her way back to Elysium.
Haruki on the other hand was lodged quite deep in a tree. He groaned and pushed himself out of the haruki sized hole he was in. He streched his body and wiped off the blood. He grinned at the towering monster above him. "Alright enough games. I've played around long enough. I just wanted to see how strong you really are big guy." He said with stark confidence that nothing will ever go wrong.
The giant skeleton's eyesockets shone a nasty red light at his blatant provocation. Haruki waved his blade in the air as he approached the monster. The two stared at each other in silence waiting for the other to move.
"I'm going to beat the shit out of you bone head." It was probably not the best of lines but it'll do in this situation. Nobody was watching him after all. Besides, even if someone was, he still wouldn't make the cut.
"Magus, Do I have enough for a boost?"
[I thought you'd never ask. You have roughly 2 minuites. If you go past that... I'll be using your own blood.]
He put his palms in front of his face.
Jet black mana swirled all around his body. Red lightning swarmed all around his body.
His entire body was wrapped with a shadow like cloak.
His face was covered with a jet black wolf mask with golden engravings.
His eyes blood red.
His ravenous hunger was at the peak.
The Wolf hath descended once more.
[Show me wolf.]
[Show me proof of your name.]
