Chapter 11 - Of Giants And Men

Nasiah and Forcas tag-teamed Jaguar. The latter specialized in heavy blows that would shatter the earthen walls that the giant would create, while the former would cut through the openings and land blows on the monster of a man that attacked them.

However, it did not seem to matter, each cut or stab that Nasiah did would regenerate soon after. Every wound upon Jaguar's body would close up and heal. 

It was just like Forenus's abilities, a Magick that was embedded into their very being, one that helped the user regenerate their body as if it was never cut!

That would just mean that they would have to slice them into pieces before they could regenerate!

Nasiah jumped away from an axe strike that split open the ground. He landed beside Forcas and stood up.

"Cut open his body, bit by bit!" The she-wolf grabbed the boy and threw him into the giant.

In retaliation, Jaguar stomped the ground again and summoned earthen spears to pierce Nasiah as he flew through the air.

Forcas foresaw this. She dashed across the ground and leaped into the air before slapping aside all of the spears.

The giant grunted. He slammed his foot into the ground and raised his fist up, summoning an earth wall that Nasiah ripped apart with his hands.

The little boy stabbed Jaguar in their arm. "Surrender, and I won't cut off your limb!"

The giant just laughed. He tried to grab the boy off. "Do it! It would not matter!"

Nasiah took the consent of the giant and, with one swift motion, cut his arm right off, sending it flying away on the field of battle.

However, the dismembered limb dissolved into dirt as Jaguar's stump regenerated immediately into a new arm that tried to grab Nasiah.

The boy managed to move out of the way before the hand could grab him. He looked up in awe at the power the giant held.

He completely regenerated his arm. Can he do that to any limb? Is there a limit to how many times he could do it?

Forcas did not focus on these questions. She jumped high into the air, and with a nightly blow, she cleaved the head of Jaguar in two before back-flipping away.

She watched the giant's head, which was clearly split down the middle, reattached itself instantly.

Nasiah thought back to the arm that fell off and how it became dirt. There was obviously some connection there to be exploited. He knew the giant could control Earth, but did that affect his regeneration somehow?

Jaguar raised his axe up into the air, and with a mighty force, he brought it down onto the ground. A violent tremor emerged as the earth around Nasiah and Forcas broke open. He was creating an earthquake with his combined might and Magick!

The ground cracked apart as it broke away at the duo's feet, causing them to retreat to more stable surfaces. However, that was what Jaguar wanted.

He leaped from rock to rock and slashed away at them over and over again, never giving them time to breathe.

Forcas met the brute in mid-air; their clash of greatsword and axe caused a violent shockwave akin to a tornado.

Nasiah capitalized on this. He jumped towards Jaguar and, once more, sliced his arms off, disarming him of a weapon.

All three combatants jumped back onto land. Nasiah noticed that Jaguar did not heal until he and his dismembered limbs landed onto the earth.

The boy ran to Forcas, a smile on his face grew more and more as he thought of a plan. "Throw him into the air. He can't regenerate his body until all his body parts touch the ground."

A grin grew on the she-wolf's face as she laughed. "Hah, good one! Alright then, little man, I'll do the restraining; you do the cutting!"

Forcas ran forward, leaving several sonic booms in her wake. She stabbed Jaguar in the chest right before he could fully stomp and raise his earthen shield.

Her force was so powerful that it lifted them both dozens of meters into the air.

Nasiah followed through, jumping up and slicing off the arms and legs of Jaguar until he was simply just a torso with a head.

Then, with great precision, he skewered each cut-off limb of the giant onto his sword. This caused the remaining body of the brute to fall onto the ground, unable to move except groan while his stumps could only marginally heal.

"No! This cannot be, how-" But before he could say anything further, Forcas came to gag his mouth with twine. 

"Heh, now this is a solid prisoner. You did good out there, little man." She patted Nasiah on the head, who sparkled in return.

Nasiah looked around; while many of the soldiers died, all of the ones he faced were unconscious, and most of them retreated.

Forcas gave a sigh and stretched her arms. "Now for the boring part… getting them all back to base. You up for that too, little man?"

The boy gave her a happy little nod, which caused her to laugh. "Alright then, whoever carries the most wins!"

The she-wolf ran off, collecting as many of the would-be prisoners as possible.

Nasiah followed her example, making sure that he got to load them all into a cart as he wondered what exactly they would win from this little competition.

When all was said and done, they moved on and returned to the base with their spoils.
