He could not believe it. As his brain was shutting down, his will to stay alive, at least long enough to finish what he had started, was still too strong to just fade away. This translated itself into all the powers he had absorbed from all others like him, and allowed him to turn into a giant. He didn't know that, but as soon as he was a giant, he saw the benefits in his new situation. He could not only trample his enemies like he would an insect, he could see much further than before, so if his targets were to run away, he could see them run. Unfortunately, his enemies were too smart for that. They managed to distract him enough, he lost track of them long before he realized he lost sight of them. The only one that is in his immediate vicinity, was the humanoid bee.
"Where did they go?" he asked him.
"I don't know." Noyhe's buzzing voice sounded quiet, despite the fact that he looked like he was screaming at the top of his lungs, "They knocked me on the head, zo I couldn't zee where they were going."
"They couldn't have gone far." the Lowlander howled, "Drago is too weak, and the others can't hope to outrun me."
"That'z the zpirit!" Noyhe spoke, his shouting voice barely a whisper to the Lowlander.
The Lowlander looked about himself. Beyond the quarry, he could see the buildings of the nearest city, unaware that one of them is Cefabew's main headquarters, and that the people inside that building were watching him. He looked past the buildings, into the horizons. He could see more from this point than he could ever hope to see from his human-eye view.
"Uh... Lowlander?" he heard the buzzing next to his ear. He stepped away, and saw Noyhe, fluttering around his head. Noyhe didn't say anything, but he pointed behind the Lowlander. He turned, and saw three distinct shapes at a distance. One looked like it had multiple legs, and was crawling, another seemed to be placing two legs forward, then two larger ones followed, and a third one was airborne. The closer they got, the more they took on the shapes of things he recognized. Respectively, he was looking at one giant spider, one giant gorilla, and one huge dragon. As those animals were getting nearer, he saw them moving across building, over people, who were running and screaming in a panic. This angered the Lowlander, who ran toward the animals, as fast as his body, and the planet's gravity, could allow him to. As he came near, the giant spider spat something, which fell on his feet. He didn't think much of it, until he could move his feet no longer. Stuck like this, he could do very little when the gorilla decided to raise its fists and deal its punches. As he tried fighting back, the dragon lowered itself to look the Lowlander straight in the eyes.
"Give it up." it spoke, with a heavy, though somehow feminine voice, "You have already lost."
Despite the slight distortion, the Lowlander recognized the voice: "Drago? I should have known. Only you would be so bold."
This time, he let the gorilla punch him. This way, when its fists hit him, he could grab it by its arms. When the dragon started to exhale its fiery breath, the Lowlander tossed the gorilla toward it. The dragon stopped breathing fire, but it was too late. The gorilla hit the dragon hard, and it couldn't stay airborne. The spider tried an attack of its own, but only then did the Lowlander find the strength to release its feet, and kicked the spider. It landed on top of the other two monsters. With them down, the Lowlander decided he had to kill them as fast as possible.
"Is there a large, heavy rock I can use..." he growled to himself.

The three giant monsters tried to recover from the blow they just received. The gorilla was the first to speak, somehow with two voices: "It's not working."
"What gave you that idea." the spider replied, also with two voices.
"Is there any way we can summon a stronger monster?" the dragon asked.
"There is one." the spider replied, "But I don't recommend it."
As they spoke, the Lowlander had already found his large boulder, and started to pick it up.
"Does it look like we have a choice?" the dragon asked.
The spider shook its tiny head (tiny compared to the rest of its body): "I suppose we do not. Everyone repeat after me..."

The Lowlander could hear them whisper, but he didn't that anything they could do now would make any sort of difference. He raised his boulder, when he heard the monsters exclaim: "Ya vulgtlagln uln gnaiih."
Did the monsters just lose their minds, the Lowlander wondered, as they started to speak gibberish. He decided to not let that distract him, but as he made his way toward them, something incredible happened. The three monsters started to float off the ground. The dragon didn't flap its wings, it didn't carry the gorilla or the spider, and yet all three were flying. Before his very eyes, the gorilla turned upside down, twisting its arms in such a way that they started to look more like legs, while his actual legs had retracted themselves inside its body, as did its head. The dragon's wings stayed the way they were, while its body turned around its axis, its long neck bending to form a right arm, while the long tail became a left arm. This deformed dragon placed itself on top of the strangely formed gorilla, and suddenly it looked like the two had become one whole body, where only the head was missing. The spider placed itself on top of the dragon-arms, its legs moving to the front, while its body opened up to reveal a head. This one body, if possible, looked even more horrifying than the three monsters it was before. It looked like a part scaly, part furry beast, with wings on its back, and tentacles where the mouth should be. The Lowlander dropped his boulder at the same time as when the monster landed back on the ground.
"Great Katulhu has arrived." it said, using five voices at once.
Once the Lowlander heard it call its own name, he regained his composure, as though knowing its name made it less scary. Katulhu took one step closer to the Lowlander, who started tossing smaller stones to the giant in front of him. One after another hit Katulhu, but he seemed to either feel none of them, or he didn't care to be hit by them. With that, the Lowlander lifted up his larger boulder, and heaved it at the monstrosity. Katulhu used his wings to cover his head, and as the boulder hit them, it broke into millions of pieces. Realizing this attack didn't work, the Lowlander decided upon a different strategy. He ran toward the monster before him.
Katulhu raised his right hand above his head and spoke: "Sog-Yoth."
From the air above it, a large sword appeared. Katulhu grabbed it and slashed at the Lowlander with it. The Lowlander stopped as soon as he felt the sword hit. It didn't feel like a sword hit him, it felt like a dog sinking its teeth into his flesh, only worse somehow. He would have fallen to the ground in pain, but his Lowlander pride would not allow him to fall like that. Katulhu saw this, and so he held his sword with both hands. He drew one perfect circle in the air, as the sword lit up like a flashlight, getting progressively brighter as it moved. As soon as it made its way back into the air, Katulhu struck it down, cutting its way through the Lowlander, from his right shoulder, down to his left side. This was too much for even the Lowlander to bear. With all his strength and pride destroyed, he fell down, the energy that had kept him alive for many centuries obliterating him.

Noyhe, who witnessed all the events closely, was even more saddened to see his friend die a second time. But this time, there was something much worse than five human-sized monsters. He decided he'd better buzz off, and let Van Helsen know what had transpired here.
