The battle with the adventurers

Once Darius regained his footing, clutching his sword tightly, Akun swung his silver hammer against Darius's broadsword. The impact created a strong shockwave that echoed through the surroundings. The sheer force of the clash propelled Darius backwards, causing him to tumble onto the forest floor once more.

Darius clenched his teeth, his hands shaking as he fought to stand steady. "You... you monster!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with a mix of fear and anger.

Akun, now towering in Dalamute's form, looked down at Darius with a mix of amusement and annoyance. His movements were like a dance of grace and power, each step deliberate and controlled. He took five calculated steps backward, effortlessly dodging all of Darius's attacks before they could make contact.
