I am back. Once again thank you for reading and sorry if I hurt your brain cells. Enjoy.
"Damn,"
No one knew who said that but it felt like everyone has the same feelings. As they watch the massive entity in front of them rose up, they could clearly see the difference between them.
"Aol, move both of them. I am gonna lure it downstairs." Zhul whisper quietly. He prepare himself to ran full speed to the stairs at any given moment. One small mistake and the entire bar would be covered in strawberry jam.
"You sure?" Aol slowly back away. His bow was still aiming and ready to be used anytime that thing make a move. "I can't cover you if shit went down."
"Sutr, Briar and Koth in the basement, probably." Zhul launch himself at the opponent. He threw his dagger at the enemy. His dagger planted itself deep inside the big guy, but that thing doesn't even flinch. It just stand there. This is a problem. Zhul pulled his dagger and ran for the stairs. He almost reached the stairs until a big arm swipe above his head.
Zhul rolled and watched as the big guy raise his arm and dropped it hard at him. Zhul jumped to the side as the hand fell and destroy the floor. The hand then move fast, attempting to grab Zhul as he keep jumping all over the place. Zhul threw his dagger at the enemy face. It easily dodged it and proceed to raise both of his arms. It smashed the floor so hard that it cause the entire second stories to collapse.
Zhul landed on one of the table. Not soon after, the enemy followed and cause a tremor to the entire bar. The enemy grabbed a table and threw it at Zhul in which he respond by kicking a chair. The two furniture crashed into each other, turning them into a pile of planks. This is so gonna put us in the red. The enemy then ran at him. Zhul jumped out of the way into the counter where he grabbed two knives. Not sure why did I think a little knife will help.
Zhul raised his head and saw the enemy stand in front of the counter. His knives doesn't evlen stand a chance against the thing in front of it. They looked pathetically out of place.
The big guy slammed his fist into the counter. Zhul use this opportunity to stabbed it with the knives. The enemy doesn't even care as it throw a punch right at Zhul. Zhul managed to avoid the punch just before it made a hole in the wall. Zhul felt the wind rushed at him when he is just a few inches away from death. The enemy then slapped Zhul body all the way across the room.
Zhul's body smashed the wall and he landed on his four limbs. Each limbs was shaking and could hardly supports their own weight. His ears were ringing and he could barely make out what in front of him. Everything was blurry as he feel the ground shake. Damn it. He saw the silhouette of the enemy coming right at him.
Suddenly, swords burst out of the ground. They stabbed the enemy feet making it tripped just before it reached Zhul.
"What the heck is going on?!" Sutr, who was covered in blood, ran straight at Zhul. He then drag Zhul out of the way while the dwarf, Briar and the half dwarf, Koth protected their back.
"Kill it." Zhul slowly raise. His body was still shaking but not as bad as it used to. "I don't think any of them can or will speak."
The enemy stand up and turn his face around. It ran as soon as it saw the target. Each of it's steps cause the floor to rumble.
Sutr ran to meet the enemy barehanded. Once he is in range, he slide pass the enemy and grab a chair. Sutr smashed the chair right at the enemy face and deliver a couple of blows from his fist.
With a damaged body, the big guy pull his leg backward and deliver a shocking kick. The kick made a brief contact with Sutr body before Sutr was sent flying through the wall. Sutr flew so far, at this point nobody could see his body or where did he land.
"I knew he is stupid but that is beyond stupidity right there." Zhul with his stable body couldn't believe what Sutr just did. "Why didn't he dodge it like usual?"
"You really questioning him? I thought you are smarter than this." Koth commented on Zhul statement. By this point, they already lived together long enough that they supposedly have become immune to Sutr weird antics.
"Lad probably wanted some fun. Let him have it will ya?" Briar couldn't really know what Sutr was doing but he choose to stay positive.
"I am gonna stay positive and say that he wanted to test the enemy strength even though it is completely obvious. That thing destroy the second floor."
They focused their attention to the moving object that was coming closer by the seconds. It moved slowly unlike earlier when he ran. In closer inspection, someone could see some knives was planted deeply at its foot. The same foot that kicked Sutr.
Briar grabbed his shield and stands in front. When the big guy came, he hammered Briar with both of his hands. Zhul jumped from Briar shoulder onto the big guy. He circled around and choke its neck with all of his strength. It was trying to grab Zhul when an arrow came and hit it's hand. The arrow managed to drag it and toppled it down.
"That should do it." Aol walked to his comrade with a different bow. This bow was dark green with a very, very tight string. It got a carving of a bird on its side.
The big guy doesn't stand down for long as he jumped from his position heading straight for Aol. Aol than shot another arrow. It landed on the thing stomach and, like last time, drag his body with it.
"Don't use all of your arrows." The same elf that was injured right now was walking towards Aol with a handful of arrows. He has a glossy blue hair and his eyes is light blue. He was wearing a greenish-blue shirt with a gray pants. He stands approximately 180 centimeter tall. "I want my revenge."
"Elf ain't supposed to seek revenge." Briar turn his head without lowering his shield. "Aren't ye lads supposed to be noble?"
"Well fuck them." Zhul and the elf said at the same time with the exact same tone they sounded like a robot.
"That thing is still alive and you guys just going to ignore that?!" Koth couldn't really keep it within himself. His so called friends was chatting idly while the enemy slowly ran toward them.
Aol took the arrow and shot it. The result was the same except this time it doesn't goes down. It was still standing and running towards them. Aol shot a couple of arrows, the best he can do was push it backward a step.
"Blunt weapon won't work." A voice could be heard from behind them. It was followed by a person running toward the enemy carrying eight throwing knives. He jumped from Briar shoulder and threw his knives. The big guy covered his face and blocked a couple of the knives.
Briar and Koth used this opportunity to push the big guy with their shield. They managed to push it 5 steps before it regained its ground. Zhul grabbed a knife from the ground and launch it at the enemy left eye. It dodged it just before the knife hits. An arrow was already shot when the enemy was being pushed by the dwarves, the arrow hit the enemy shoulder making his foot unstable. Another arrow was shot effectively toppling the big guy down.
"Lug, Han. What its weakness?" Zhul asked to the elf and human that just a moment ago was injured.
Lug is the human. He has a bright pure hair with contrast his eyes which was black. He is wearing a very loose clothing. He kept his knives inside his clothes wherever in his ash colored shirt or his black pants. He also has a couple of small bag that was tied to his body. This bags also contain his throwing knives.
"Possibly sharp thing." Lug said as he pulled out a bunch of knives from his shirt.
"He doesn't react to blunt or he can't, which one do you like?" Han retorical question didn't helped how to beat this thing but it did helped in something else. "Want to take this fight somewhere big? I can't use my magic if this keep going."
"You can only use your magic in the dungeon. Keep this place safe while I take my dagger from the basement." Zhul then quickly ran downstairs.
"More like I am not allowed to use my magic anywhere else except the dungeon." Han grumbled in annoyance. He didn't like becoming a spectator so he grabbed one of Lug's knife. "I'll be using this."
"Make sure you stabbed the right people."
"OY! Our enemy is waking up!" Koth yelled. He then prepared his shield.
The enemy grabbed a bunch of furniture, crush them and throw the debris at it's enemy. Koth and Briar braced themselves while Han and Lug take cover behind them. Aol stand two meters away from the rest. He was prepared to shot an arrow when the enemy sent flying debris at him. He can shot now but the risk of hitting a debris and making his shot misses made him stop his action.
"Real supports there, buddy." Lug said sarcastically as he lower his head.
"None of you manage to knock it down." Aol was dodging the debris as he protested. He pulled his bow and shot an arrow. The enemy pick up a big chunk made of wood and throw it. The chunk them got shot and shattered into a million pieces. The arrow stop and landed on the floor. "Guess it is learning."
The enemy grabbed another big chunk of wood, destroyed it in it's grip and throw the little shrapnel at it's enemy. He walked closer and do the same think over and over again. Everytime an arrow was shot, he use the same strategy as before. Using a big debris as a shield. Its slowly but surely advanced towards it's target.
Briar ran into the enemy and use his shield as a batting ram. The enemy tanked the hit and raise it's two massive arms. It used it's arms as a hammer and smashed Briar. Even though Briar managed to use his shield, his body was pummeled into the basement where he hits a wine rack.
"Damn. Strength it got." Briar talked quietly as he got up. His body was covered in red wine. He shakes his head a couple of times before running to the stairs. When he reach the ground floor, he saw Koth tanking every hits from the enemy, while the other use any opportunity they have to attacked.
The enemy swings it's arm quickly and was managed to be blocked by Koth. It's other arm was ready to punch Koth when it notice Aol was ready to shot. The enemy grabbed the floor and pulled it up, stopping Aol arrow before its hits. Lug circled around and was throwing hundreds of knives some of which managed to land a hit. Han was running between it's legs, slashing every thing that he could get his knife on.
For the first time, the enemy roar. It raise both of his arms as high as it could. Just before the arms started descending, a chains wrapped around it and somehow managed to stop it. But not for long, the enemy use all of it's strength to pulled the chain. What followed was Pern flying and landing smoothly.
"Looked like shit got interesting while I am out." Pern pulled his chains from the enemy arm. He then wrapped the chains on his right arm. "The only thing I fought was a bunch of cosplayer."
"I hope those cosplayer you are talking about are the same with us. If not, I don't want to be a part of any of this." Koth could see the guild coming to investigate them of they do anything suspicious which they already did.
Koth prepared his body to receive a big shock as the enemy attempted to do the exact thing. While this time, Briar came and hits the enemy with his shield. Aol then shot an arrow straight to it's head. Han throw a bunch of knives at it's feet. Pern was the last push as he punched the enemy with all of his power.
"Where's those two lads?" Briar asked Pern.
"Don't worry. They'll be back." Pern released the chains from his arm, allowing it to hit the floor. "They'll always be."
The enemy rose to its feet. It looked at it's target with eyes full of emotions, mostly grief and regret. It then stretch it's arm at the target and open it's hand. It looked like it trying to invite them.
The moment didn't last long as two silhouettes appeared in mid air. One was wielding a sword while the other carried a scythe. The two silhouettes spins fast like a keyblade and managed to cause a big damaged to the enemy. The silhouettes landed and joined their allied.
"What took you so long?" Pern asked the two person that just came barging in. "I thought Jagamarukun's stall was closed when it is almost midnight."
Before Pern could get his answer another voice commands them from the back.
"Duck."
Everyone followed as they lower their heads and bodies. A bunch of throwing knives flew past them and hit the enemy. Its explode upon contact which cause a massive damage to the enemy.
"Didn't know you got a grenade in there. Want to explain how?" Han turn his head. He saw Zhul in the corner of his eye. Zhul was carrying a sack full of magic stones.
"Later. Right now..." Zhul stepped forward. He got to the frontline with Sutr and Tez. "We have a very troublesome costumer."
