Skadi's POV
'That was quite the kick to have even damaged me that much. I lost around 200 hp. Let me see who we are dealing with here [identify].'
-Name: Brok
-Class: Drunken Brawler
-Level: 45/60
He has a higher level cap than I do he must be pretty strong, I think Ill be able to take him. I can't lose two fights in a row.'
Skadi circulated her mana and bashed her fists together as a chilling blue flame erupted. She rushed forward with her bare knuckle boxing technique, the only issue was that she could not manage to hit him the way he swayed back and forth and the incredibly unpredictable movements just made boxing impossible. At one point during her onslaught of punches he bent down to readjust his leg wraps, and when getting up head butted her directly in the chest throwing her off balance.
This isn't getting anywhere time to switch things up.
She stomped the ground twice; the first foot stomped forward erupting another blue flame her second foot stomped slightly to the side as another flame came to life. She now had four flames altogether, one on each of her hands and feet. Her fighting style then changed from a bare knuckle boxing fighting style to a muy tai fighting style and she rushed Brok. She was using every combo she could think of reverse elbows to a knee to the face, reverse back hand to a round house. She was fists, elbows, and all were being dodge, until she landed a tilan strike which is a brutal low kick directly to the knee joint. Seeing her connect she went for a clinch where she punched and elbowed the mans face and started to force the bears face down into her rising knee attacks. She separated breathing hard from her exertion. Brok seemed mostly undamaged, he was limping slightly to cater to his leg but other than that he had mostly blocked the other blows.
Brok's POV
What a fierce attacker, if it wasn't for my class Id have a harder time dealing with her, its also the first time I had to physical look up at a woman. I am much more nimble, or at least I was before she landed that kick in my knee. Luckily for my races innate ice resistance her added power from her magic isn't doing a ton of extra damage. [identify].
-Name: Skadi
-level: 28/30
-Class: Primal Artic Berserker
My race is good against her class if she specializes in ice magic. I should be able to win this.
Skadi's POV
She saw Brok smile as he stumbled forward she went to punch him and he fell forward dodging her attack, he then rolled at the last second kicking her legs out from under her. She fell forward as he rolled up to stomp on her head. She barrel rolled sideways as Brok missed.
I've got to do something different or this isn't going to go anywhere. It doesn't appear that my magic is having much effect on him so I need to conserve my mana.
She closed her eyes momentarily and Brok watched as her breathing became more calm, it was as if she had reached a tranquil state. She no longer had the persona of the predator vs the prey and Brok was unsure as to why but her flaming extremities went out. She opened her eyes but instead of charging in like before she just stood there. This had confused Brok further.
Did she change her fighting style again?
Brok decided to test the waters, he swayed and tripped, stumbled and backtracked, but Skadi hadn't moved from her spot. Then when he got within range he sent a wild haymaking bear claw towards her, she bent sideways and sent a striking knee directly into his face making him stumble backwards. She hadn't changed her fighting style at all, she was still using muy thai, however, instead of going on the offensive she started to just counter attack. She would force herself to watch his movements and only react when he made an offensive move. This worked out favorably for her as it forced her to improve. The blow seemed to have badly hurt the bear folk and his nose was now bleeding profusely. Brok was furious, he roared as he felt the need to go on an onslaught, completely letting his animal instincts take over. He had changed his fighting style from a drunken brawler, to a drunken bear. Similarly how martial artists would imitate animals in the wild to infuse different types of deadly strikes, Brok has now done the same thing, only he IS a bear. He attacked her from all fours chomping and swiping at her. She went to counter kick but he barrel rolled and lunged at her knocking her down and went to bite her throat. She grabbed the top and bottom of his jaws with her bare hands preventing him from securing the kill. She activated her class' berserker mode allowing her to break his jaw entirely. The berserker mode was a huge temporary boost in power but the after effects were incredibly detrimental, essentially if she didn't win in the next few moments the recoil would render her unable to fight and she would likely die. Brok cried out, "Aaaaargh!"

He backed away from her quickly trying to attend to his jaw waving her off, but she was no longer listening. She picked up a boulder launched it at him, the boulder left her as if being shot out of a cannon, forcing Brok to dodge. She anticipated where Brok would dodge and rushed there clinching him from behind. He was trying to shake her off, but not only was she strong, but he was incredibly distracted from his jaw being broken like it was. The two of them wrestled back and forth in that position for several tens of seconds which seemed like minutes until a {crack}{pop} resounded throughout the clearing. Breathing heavy Skadi released Brok who collapsed to the ground with his head facing an extreme angle.

Dominating Titan Guildmaster's POV
"Hurry and bring them in now! That bastard James! He said the person of interest was less than a D rank nobody. How on gods name did he manage to take down three B rank adventurers," the guildmaster shouted furiously.
The guild master went up and inspected the wounds on all three of his fellow guild members Samuel, Tinker, and Brok. The guildmaster started with Samuel since the four of his members were struggling to bring Brok in. Samuel had a single wound directly in the center of his chest that came out his back. Tinker was the most damaged of the three, not only did it appear something of enormous weight landed on him, but it also looked like his throat had been crushed.
It looks like a fuckin boulder fell on top of him. Weren't they in the woods?
By the time the guildmaster had finished inspecting the first two, Brok had been finally dropped on the floor where the four of his other members had tried catching their breath. He noted how weird of an angle Brok's head was at and realized that someone was powerful enough to break Brok's neck.
Who would be strong enough to break Brok's neck and quick enough to evade the fire attack of Samuel while being able to choke the life out of Tinker? No, that doesn't seem possible, there had to be at least one other person in that clearing fighting for the other side.

James' POV
James was pacing back and forth in his office waiting for some sort of news, it was well past midday at this point and could be considered early evening as the sun would soon start to set. Finally after a few more anxious moments {rappa}{tap}{tap} came to his door and he wrenched the door open with all his strength making Jill jump. "James you startled me, I have a letter from the guild for you," Jill told James.
"Ah, yes, sorry about that. Ill take the letter thank you."
James closed the door harder than he meant to almost right in Jill's face who kind of expected to be invited in but was not. As James read the letter his skin grew pale, he started to hyperventilate, he could not understand why he was so cursed with terrible luck.
There's just no way! How could that little bug kill three veteran B rank adventurers. The guildmaster is going to be pissed, I'll have to flee. Ill write a letter vacating my post collect my affairs, then I am gone. It'll take me two days tops. First, I'll have to make an announcement to the town.
