Age Of Swordsmen 34 7.3 Boss Fight! 3

Oris the Hill Giant. Stage 2. (Lvl. 9)

HP: 261/965

"Let's just hope that there isn't a Stage 3." Said Itaka ironically and a bit out of breath from all the jumping.

"You really shouldn't be so ironic about that." Said s.h.i.+zu a lot more serious. "If there's a Boss a Monster here next to the village, why shouldn't there be a Stage 3 one?"

Itaka nodded. "You're right. Let's concentrate!"

The Giant turned over to s.h.i.+zu and she gave Itaka a quick look. He nodded and s.h.i.+zu got into her stance again.

Suddenly the giant let out a long scream, confusing s.h.i.+zu because he didn't do that before attacking earlier. Itaka noticed her slight confusion and screamed over to her. "Concentrate s.h.i.+zu! He's attacking!"

She looked up to the Giant's punching arm again but quickly noticed that it wasn't moving. In fact, he was attacking, but with the arm that was holding Kyaga.

She panicking and not moving but she knew she had to do something. She could hear Itaka screaming and saw him running towards her, but with the speed that the giant was attacking, there was no way he would be fast enough.

In the last second, she made up her mind and quickly jumped to the right. But instead of jumping away she just jumped a few meters, so that the giants arm was missing her by only a meter or two, only for her to jump another time, now back into the giants arm, and cutting it off in one swift motion, causing Kyaga to fly out of the giants hand and into the direction of the ground with rapid speed.

As s.h.i.+zu opened her eyes she saw him flying and was just about to start running to try catching him before he hit the ground, even though it was virtually impossible.

But just at that moment Itaka sprinted past her and with one huge, impressively fast leap he landed right under Kyaga, catching him not light, but safely.

s.h.i.+zu sighed a sigh of relief, as Kyaga was finally out of the Giant's grip.

But maybe a bit too relieved, as she didn't notice the Giant's other arm thrusting into her direction.

*Crack*

Accompanied by a horrible sound his fist hit s.h.i.+zu's back, making her fly above the heads of Itaka and Kyaga.

The two just looked above them, following s.h.i.+zu's supple body with their eyes as she hit the ground and rolled over and over, again and again, seemingly endlessly.

"NOOOO!" Screamed Kyaga as he tried to jump up, but failed due to his several injuries.

The Giant's fist was thrusting in their direction again, faster than ever before, and unnoticed by Kyaga again. But this time Itaka quickly pushed him away, drew his sword and held it against the powerful punch of the Boss.

"Kyaga... help..." He said strained by the force he had put in his blade in order to fight off the giant, who was pus.h.i.+ng him away further and further with any pa.s.sing second.

He quickly glanced over to s.h.i.+zu, who was seemingly lifeless laying on the ground and then back to Itaka who was struggling so hard that Kyaga thought he would pa.s.s out if he had to fight that Giant any longer.

"What should I do?" He whispered.
