"How should we divide it, between us three?", Torsten asked.
He was the youngest among the three.
"I would say, that the one who kills it gets the head and the core. The rest will be divided into three among us. But be carful, aim on its feet and then we finish it off.", the oldest one said.
"I also agree with your suggestion, let's quickly kill it and then head back to our sect."
They took out their enhanced weapons and threw them toward Ryu. They had no intention to capture him alive, they just wanted his precious shiny golden scales and fangs to sell them.
When Ryu saw the attacks, he jumped to the right side to evade the attacks.
Allthrough he was way faster than before his evolution, he couldn't dodge the incoming attacks.
The swords flying toward him were too fast. Two of the three swords missed him, but the third one hit his back foot.
The metal was slicing over his sturdy scales and left tiny scars on them.
The sharp sword itself couldn't hurt him, but the strong impact stunned his foot.
His foot felt numb, he clearly felt the pain spreading in his body.
Out of instinct Ryu stated running away again. It was a bit difficult with one numb foot, luckily the numb feeling faded away slowly.
Unfortunately the three people in black were following him and throwing their weapons again after him.
This time Ryu acted faster and quickly evaded to the left side.
All three swords missed him.
A strange thing was, after hitting the ground, the swords flew back to them. As if thin wires were on them.
Ryu didn't know how long they could keep this game, but he was sure that he was at disadvantage.
The swords flew again toward him. Allthrough their fast speed he could predict their flight rail and easily dodge them.
They were truly massacring the forest. In their way no tree was spared.
After evading the attacks for several minutes, one of the three humans rushed foreward with his sword in both of his hands.
The sword emit a way more deadly aura then before and he could clearly feel the killing intent.
This time Ryu wasn't just dodging. He spun his back and let out a deafening roar, he was so angry at them, why couldn't they just let him walk his way and take their own?
Birds and other beasts were fleeing out of the whole forest in all directions away from him. The one guy who tried to finish him off fell of his flying sword and fell motionless to the ground. While the other to tried their best to not controll the control over their flying swords and keep the balance in the air.
All the accumulated anger unload in form of a huge golden flame. In a milliesecond the motionless human lying on the ground was burned into nothingness and the flames spread onto the other trees setting all his sourroundings on fire.

Ryu wanted to kill the other two humans, but he couldn't move his body an inch.
This powerful fire breath consumed all his remaining stamina.
The two guys were still struggling, to keep themselves in the air, but their senses were already coming back.
Allthrough the will to kill them, Ryu still could not move. It was the worst time fall unconscious now.
Being undeffenseless against these humans would mean his death or even worse.
While trying to stay awake the two flew to the ground near him and approached him.
"You filthy overgrown lizard! How dare you attack us! I will make sure you regret it with breaking every of your bones!"
Ryu just wanted to get away, why do they need to chase after him. So this was how his second life ends. He lived not even a week in this new unexplored world.
By closing his eyes in regret he saw that the third person in now white clothes stood behind the two.
^So I couldn't even kill one of them. I was simply too weak.^
