《Unleash the beast》Chapter 4: Wolf vs Ogre
Advertisement
"GROAAAAAAR"
The ogre screamed in fury after seeing its encampment showered in the blood of his comrades, his 5 hobgoblin guards also let out a shout of rage and charged with him.
I saw that the ogres tag read 'lvl 14 Brutish Ogre'
'I need to thin out the numbers, my fur is tough but I don't like the look of that studded club' I thought looking at the ogre.
I grabbed a large hobgoblin in my mouth and hurled it at the group, and then threw another one, both of the battered corpses flew towards the group at high speeds.
One of the corpses smashed into 3 of the hobgoblins, send them flying with it. The other corpse flew at the ogre, who just batted it aside with his hand, like it was a fly.
This meant that there were still two hobgoblins charging at me along with the ogre.
I decided to risk it and find out just how tough this ogre was, so I leaped at him. Turning as I flew and smashed my tail into him using my skill 'steel tail'.
The ogre caught it with his left hand, causing him to slide back a few feet along with a few of his fingers breaking. Then making all his muscles bulge out and go into overdrive, he raised his club. I watched it rise with dread, as soon as he started raising his deadly club I tried to jump away but despite his broke fingers he held firm onto my tail with an iron grip.
He then yanked me back towards him and brought down his club with a shout of exertion, straight down don't my spine. I closed my eyes and hoped my steel fur could take it.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAH"
*THUD*
I felt his club smash down on my spine, causing me to get thrown to the ground like gravity had increased by 100x.

Luckily my spine didn't break, if it did I would have died immediately. However I could feel some serious internal injuries, I looked at the ogre only to be met with raging red eyes.
The two hobgoblins rushed at me from behind the ogre, but the ogre spun around and smashed them into jelly with his club.
It seemed that he could differentiate between friend and foe while in an enraged state, seeing this the remaining hobgoblins ran into the forest screaming.
While he was distracted beating the shit out of his comrades I rolled away and sprung to my feet. Lowering my centre of gravity with a low stance so that I could move out of the way at a moments notice.
The ogre turned around and when he saw me he roared again. The fury evident in his eyes like someone had set fire to his soul, and charged me like a bull. Getting ready to swing his bat around in a large arc he roared.
"GROAAAAAR"
I ran at him to and we met halfway, just as his club was about to hit me I gripped the dirt with my claws and pulled myself down below the swinging club. I could feel the air rushing past me as the club swung over me missing by only centimetres.
My adrenaline was working in overdrive so I watched it swing by in slow motion, he then took another step forward because the club was upsetting his centre of balance.
As soon as his leg came into view I I swung my claws at it, the claws only managed to get to the bone and then stopped. But it was enough.
Using my momentum I then used my skill 'steel tail' and swung the tail and the open bone.
Because there was no tough skin in the way, my tail smashed through his kneecap and flipped the ogre over. But the ogre displayed his fighting prowess and while mid side flip, swung his bat at my front left leg, returning the favour.

I cursed my blunder as I felt the bones breaking like twigs despite my tough fur.
As the ogre hit the dirt on his side, using my back legs I pounced on him. However the ogre was expecting this as he threw away his bat and grabbed me around the throat with his good hand, only just stopped me from tearing out his neck with my fangs.
Instead I pushed against his arm, and clamped my teeth around his shoulder. He grunted with pain and started trying to strangle me using his good hand and beat the side of me with his broken hand. I felt blow after blow of his monstrous strength raining down on me.
I then dug my back leg's claws into his thighs to keep me locked onto him and lessen his grip on my throat, then ignoring the pain I started goring his chest with my good and bad front claws, tearing chunks of tough flesh off him.
We rolled around like this for a while, him strangling me and beating me while I bit him and clawed him. Slowly his grip lessened and his beatings got weaker and weaker.
I wasn't doing much better either, my claws started slowing down and my bites tore off less and less flesh. I also was started to feel several broken ribs from his fists, this ogre was putting up a fight. I knew if I didn't finish this soon I would die wether I won or not. And I don't want to find out wether or not an npc can respawn.
Then as my vision started growing darker and darker, I felt my claws finally get through his inches and inches of thick skin and flesh and reach the softer stuff. Barely conscious anymore I speared my claws into his chest cavity using my good claws and scooped out his heart, throwing it into the air i wrenched myself out of the ogres death grip and using my battered legs I jumped into the air and ate his still beating heart.
Surprise was rendered on the dying ogres face, but it soon changed into one of respect as he muttered his last words.
"Twas a good fight, I'm glad to die to such a fearsome beast..."
"Grrrrr"

I growled in agreement with the proud and fierce ogre before rolling off his body and letting sleep embrace me.
But not before I saw the person in front of me, she was a pretty little thing. A human woman in leather armour wielding a short bow, she muttered one thing before I fell asleep.
"Stop recording"
'Oh shit'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if the chapter is a little short, I didn't want to drag out the fight too long, despite the amount of fun I had while writing it.
The suspense continues! What on Ragnarok will happen to Fenrir?
Tell me what you would make happen in the comments. Though it won't sway my decision i always have fun reading the comments!

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6
