~Somewhere at Thrisk a certain someone kept on knocking at a mansion's door but he was multiple times ignored~

"I swear I will kill those self-entitled rich guys that don't even bother answering the door..."

Jem mumbled to himself as he kept on knocking on the door, but even after those tries he got no response

"TERAS SENT ME GOD DAMMIT! OPEN THIS DOOR IT'S IMPORTANT!"

Jem screamed with all of his force and suddenly the door opened, a familiar red-haired lady opened the door

"Did you say Teras?"

Becka asked Jem with a surprised look

"I need to talk to Tokkou!"

Jem said as he entered the mansion

"I'm afraid master Tokkou is in the capital attending a royal meeting, and he won't return until the end of this week so if it isn't something important then I suggest you come later..."

Becka said as she weirdly looked at the man that suddenly came inside the mansion

"And what if I told you that Teras's life was in danger, would you be any help then?"

Jem asked Becka while staring at her, Becka looked surprised

"Take a seat in the living room while I make something for you"

Becka said as she showed Jem the living room, and after quickly preparing tea Becka sat across Jem and started talking

"Please tell me more details about how Teras's life is in danger because as his teacher I'm not very pleased to hear that he is in danger"

Becka asked as she took a sip out of her black tea

"A group of bandits started abusing our village for resources not long ago and once I requested help in a form of a quest Teras and his party came to help us but they weren't strong enough to handle the Kourkata(The name of the beast) the bandits has captured, I don't know how they managed to do this because everyone looked weak but with this monster on their hand they could easily beat any of us"

Becka was shocked by what Jem said, Kourkata was something only one man she knew sold, and this man was the previous owner of hers

"So I'm assuming you need Tokkou's help to get rid of these guys, right?"

Becka asked as she tried to calm herself down

"No, you got it wrong! They are probably fighting right this moment so asking for the Grand Jack's help now is probably worthless but I can't return with no one"

Jem said as he drank all of his tea in one sip

"I know that I can't help much but please take this and use it so you can sustain yourself in this town for a little, when Tokkou returns then I will convince him to take you to your village and then you two can figure out what you can do"

Becka said as she handed Jem two golden coins (100 bronze coins= 1 silver, 100 silver=1 gold and 100 gold =1 royal coin)

"I don't need your money"

Jem said as he gave the coins back to Becka, he then left the mansion, he wanted to wait for Tokkou but he still didn't want to be dependent on the money of a maid, whom he barely even knows

~Back to the battlefield ~

Teras continued fighting the monster with all of his might but little damage was dealt to it

"Is this all you got you monster?"

Teras asked with a smile, the monster responded with a scratch from above but Teras blocked it by raising his hand and counter-attacked with a mana-enhanced kick to the monster's ribs, breaking them in the process

'Crack? Did its ribs just make a crack sound?'

Teras thought as a big smile formed on his face, Teras then charged at the monster and used an explosion at its face and then hit him with a two-punch combo, Teras then ended the combo with another kick to its broken ribs, this time Teras didn't feel anything hard since there was nothing there, the monster was launched back from this attack, but before getting launched the monster managed to scratch Teras's chest with its tail but attacks like that didn't faze Teras anymore since his adrenaline was off the rails after finally managing to hurt the monster significantly

"Oh, are we running now?"

Teras asked as blood was dripping from his body, the monster then charged at Teras punching him in the face, Teras managed to withstand the attack and with sheer force, he managed to kick the monster at its jaw stunning it for a little, he then quickly drew his sword and stabbed the monster at the chest, penetrating its thick skin

The monster released a powerful scream while moving its limbs around, Teras jumped away from the monster so he could avoid any injury, leaving his sword stuck into the monster's chest, the monster then launched itself at Teras without thinking, Teras grabbed the monster's hands restraining it from attacking but the monster was still able to attack by attacking with its tail, it tried to stab Teras with its tail but thankfully Teras dodged it but it scratched a big part of Teras's stomach, Teras then kicked the sword digging it deeper into the monster

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

The monster screamed again and in this moment of weakness Teras used this moment to head-bump the monster, the monster was pushed back from the recoil of the attack, and Teras then merged his hands and used them as a hammer, slamming the monster's head, after that Teras pulled both of his hands back and enhanced them with mana, this little preparation time gave the monster enough time to recover and counter-attack, the monster tried to scratch Teras on his face but with a quick lean of his body Teras didn't only manage to dodge the attack but also build momentum for his attack, after dodging pulled his body up once again hitting the monster with both of his enhanced fists, the attack came like a missile to the monster's face launching it at a near house, the monster crashed into the house breaking its wall

'Even after getting stabbed with a sword, this thing can still move like that? I'm surprised that I can handle a beast like that!'

Teras thought as he saw the monster slowly push the debris of the house off it, the monster wasn't relatively hurt even after all this damage it had taken from Teras, Teras, and the monster were slowly walking closer and closer to each other, and as they were walking Teras snapped

"Turns out everything I do is worthless against you so now I don't care anymore, from now on I'm going on full attacking, I don't care if my body hurts, if there is a chance that yours will break first then I will surely take it"

Teras told the monster as he released more mana with his overflow, his aura shinned silver again and his eyes started glowing, just like the time he fought Prodo but this time was more intense but controlled nonetheless

After Teras finished his talking the monster jumped in the air and was directed at Teras, the monster was forming a punch with its right arm, Teras then prepared another mana-enhanced attack and jumped too, the two powerful attacks clashed against each other but the results were surprising, the monster's hand started to break more and more as Teras got closer to it, after breaking the monster's hand Teras grabbed its face and threw the monster to the ground, he then used an explosion to launch himself at the monster and once he got closer he used a much larger and destructive explosion at the monster breaking a big part of the road and injuring the monster, but this attack came with a cost

Because Teras had limited his defense his hand was very damaged by his own explosion, Teras didn't manage to land because of his dizziness, he had lost a lot of blood, after all, Teras tried to get up but before he could do that the monster emerged from the smoke of the explosion kicking Teras, Teras's body violently bounced from the friction of the ground, Teras was sent near the river from the strength of the attack

'Oh water I really needed that'

Teras thought as he took a sip out of the river's water, it was cool and refreshing

Before he knew it the monster already found him, and once he spotted him it jumped and while in the air it prepared an attack with its tail, but to its surprise the attack missed, Tears saw the monster from the reflection of the water and dodged its sneak attack, Teras then enhanced his leg with mana and kicked the monster into the air, Teras jumped and punched them monster, the monster crushed to one of the houses that were in this circular pattern around a well, Teras then used a mana shield as a stepping tool so he can launch himself at the monster, once he got close he punched it once again sending it to the next house, and before the monster could recover from the attack Teras grabbed its tail and threw the monster at the well, the monster tried to hold its self but it ended up falling inside the water of the well, it tried to get out but Teras didn't let it, he stood on the top of the well and with a small step he fell down but before he could get close to the monster he used both of his hands to create a huge explosion heavily damaging the monster and launching himself high into the air

Teras was launched in the sky like a cannonball being shoot, the pressure of the explosion heavily damaged the monster and the well too, it was honestly an amazing view from Teras's viewpoint, but sadly he was distracted from the view that he didn't notice the monster, Teras then got kicked by the monster and he then was crushed to the floor

'It's strange, the world is moving around, I don't feel my body, everything is going dark...'

Teras thought as he tried to get up but before he could even get up on his knees the monster jumped once again and then stumped Teras

The attack of the monster created a small crater around Teras, the monster thought that Teras died so it gave up on him and started to leave, it was way too damaged to stay on this battlefield but before it could jump away something grabbed into its tail with D E T E R M I N A T I O N

"Where the fuck do you think you are going, you animal?"

Teras said with a deadly stare, before the monster could react Teras stuck it with a powerful mana-enhanced punch to the head, Teras then upper-cut the monster and then he grabbed the sword, the moment Teras grabbed it he started charging it with mana, all of his mana to be exact

"DIE YOU FUCKHEAD!"

Teras said as he pulled the sword up, slashing the monster in half, the blade then created a massive wave of air that tore apart a cloud that was above them, letting the triumph light shine on Teras's bloody face, Teras fell to his knees and screamed a winning battle cry, as he was screaming he remembered

'I have to go to everyone else, they must be in trouble! My fight doesn't end here, so get up Teras! Get up and help your friends'

Teras thought as he got up, he then started taking slow and steady steps towards the forest, he felt the duty to help even though he was in a desperate state, but even though he was on the verge of fading, Teras kept on walking and walking

But before he entered the forest he saw everyone slowly getting out of the forest with almost all of the bandits tied up, Teras saw everyone, everyone except one person, but this person quickly showed up, she was running to him with a happy look

"I LOVE YOU!"

She yelled before kissing Teras, this person was Cara, after many failed attempts at revealing her feelings to Teras she finally managed to be real to herself, after the kiss ended Teras was confused

"You... I... C-Cara....."

He wanted to say something but words didn't come out of his mouth

"It wasn't so hard to say you like him, huh girl?"

Zak said as he walked past them with Marco tied with a rope

"W-What do you mean?"

Teras asked confused

"Didn't you know that she liked you?"

Zak asked, implying that everyone knew

"NO? Did you know?"

Teras asked even more confused, everyone laughed

"Let's go home kid, we can talk about such things when we enjoy a cold beer with family"

Zak said as he hugged Teras with his left hand

The fight then ended with the villagers winning, with no casualties but the same can't be said for the bandits, half of the bandits either left mid-fight or died during the fight, the only thing that can be said about the fight is that the villagers won and managed to keep their land, and all of this was thanks to 'Orion'...
