23 Dragoon And Luck - 5

Chris watched in horror as the Rookie Killer's claws raked across the back of Uarden's neck and his eyes widened in pain.

The force behind the blow slammed the boy down onto his knees, the weight of Gram also working against him in that moment.

Yarden, pinned beneath the weight of the sword and the giant Rookie Killer bigger than any lion or tiger, was helpless with its claws raking into his neck as it leaned down with massive gleaming teeth, maw opening wide to crunch his head into mulch.

She was too far away, and she couldn't use her godly powers here, so all Chris could do was watch in horror as the young boys life was about to be snuffed it. He was abrasive, and felt her up without permission, but she didn't want him to die!

This silly idiot why did he have to be so gung ho and drag these monsters to him and-

"Oi," Yarden's voice cut through her thoughts, stunning them to a stop. She watched with wide eyes as his hand not holding Gram shot up over his head and grabbed the Rookie Killer by one of its long sword like teeth, "None of that now."

And the Rookie Killer yelped in surprise and then pain as Yarden, with one hand, dragged it up over his head by its tooth alone and slammed it bodily into the ground.

It lay there stunned for a moment, and even the One Punch Bear stared in bemusement as Yarden rose to his feet and rubbed at the back of his neck.

And Chris gaped when all she saw was a trio of slight gouges, closer to scratches than anything bleeding at the back of his neck, "Nice try, but no," Yarden snorted and smirked down at the stunned Rookie Killer, "That might have worked on me yesterday, but I'm a whole of motherfucker now ya' dumb arse big pussy, between ma' durability stat and physical resistance, yer' shit out of luck son." he happily informed the beast.

Before his leg lashed out and he punted it across the face so hard the huge feline monster was bodily lifted up into the air and sent soaring easily twenty feet high above him-

And then gravity asserted itself once more and the huge dark furred feline monster fell back down, straight into the blade of Gram that Yarden lifted up to meet its unprotected back.

Gram pierced straight through the Rookie Killer and came out the other side of its stomach, blood coating the blade. The beast savagely jerked around, clawing at the air as it tried to dislodge itself for a few moments, its last few feeble attempts at staying alive.

Before falling limp as the life left its body entirely and it died.

Yarden stared at the dead beast for a moment, before jerking his legendary stolen cheat blade to the side and dislodging it like a piece of trash to the ground beside him with a meaty thumb, before once more pointed Gram at the One Punch Bear, "Now where were we big man?" he grinned at it once more.

The One Punch Bear stared at the corpse of the Rookie Killer, before snorting contemptuously and baring its teeth once more at Yarden in a massive roar. It pounded its huge claws against its chest, before rushing towards Yarden on two legs as if it were a sprinting man.

Said boy responded by stabbing Gram once more into the ground and clenching his fists.

"That's it! That's the way!" Yarden whooped in joy before also rushing the huge bear monster, fists clenched.

And Christ just stared, 'What…what is he doing!?' she stared wide eyed, the shock and horror of the sudden attack by the Rookie Killer replaced by just sheer confused shock.

As strong as the One Punch Bear was, Gram could slice through it easily, so why was he dropping the weapon that would let him kill it one attack and instead meeting it head on, barehanded?!

No, really, what was he doing?! Even Darkness with her adamantite armour, higher than average stats as a noble and crusader class with physical resistance, would only be able to take a few hits from a One hit Bear without dying.

Yet he was challenging it to a fist fight, why?!

'Damn dragon instincts.' Chris cringed as she watched both Yarden and the giant bear meet each other in the middle of the plains. He ducked under a massive fist launched by the One Punch Bear.

He was way faster than it, and got inside its guard easily and launched out with a rapid one two set of punches into its lower stomach, before jumping up and smashing a rising uppercut into the bottom of its chin.

The giant bear staggered back a single step, but that was also. A One Punch Bear's fur was more durable and thick than a set of iron plate after all, and that wasn't even getting into their massively thick muscles that absorbed blunt force impact incredibly well.

Challenging one to a fist fight was literal suicide!

The massive bear swiped down from the right with its massive clawed paw, while trapping Yarden inside its guard as it hunched over and encircled its other arm around to keep him from dodging.

Instead of doing so though, Yarden hunkered touch and his right arm rose up, catching the massive paw in a block with his forearm that almost dislodged his feet from the ground and would have if not for him bracing his left hand against his right forearm.

"Jesus fuck you're a tank!" Yarden guffawed, even as blood began to pool down his arm. Before exploding forward and burying his knee in the giant bears lower stomach.

This time there was a massive difference as the bear staggered away from him, gagging great big globs of spit from its mouth into the air.
