Canna's instincts proved correct as he summoned his sword just in time to meet the incoming threat. The village chief's perplexed expression shifted to one of shock as a hulking figure, wielding a massive greatsword, smashed into the hut. The force of the impact was explosive, causing Canna's feet to sink into the ground, leaving craters. The unknown figure moved with incredible speed, sending a powerful kick to Canna's chest, propelling him out of the hut.
Canna's body crashed through the wall, but he landed on his feet, skidding to a stop in the open area outside. Dust and debris settled around him as he quickly assessed his opponent. The man, covered in tribal tattoos and with an imposing muscular build, emerged from the wreckage, his greatsword held effortlessly in one hand.
"You must be the intruder," the man said, his voice deep and resonant. "I'm Tiberius, the guardian of this village. You have a lot to answer for."
