Ryuu Vs. The First Epic

Despite not having full control of my body, I managed to get in front of the king and save him from harm. Even though my body was still not fully under my command, it miraculously obeyed my intentions. But after blocking the attack of the epic, my body once again became uncontrollable.

Despite my efforts to prevent this from happening, regaining control was a challenging task.

As I struggled to regain control, the epic looked at me and said, "Oh? So Miron was right after all. You are truly a 'wolf.' It's a shame that I have to hand you over to Miron now. I really wanted to tear you to pieces."

I asked him, "How did you know I'm descended from wolves?"

The epic replied: "Only the descendants of wolves get out of control when they are covered in blood, and the smell of blood here is so intense that I understand very well that you can't control yourself"

"Don't mistake my bloodlust for your own, I am not you," I retorted.

The Epic laughed and said: "Look at you. You can barely control yourself and yet you are eager to fight. And that's what you're going to get, I'm going to tear you to pieces and scatter you all over the kingdom so that Miron won't be all over me because of you, because I'll make sure he can't find you."

Upon his words, my body went into a frenzy, and I started attacking him. My movements were faster and stronger than usual. However, the epic was able to block my attacks, dodge my punches, and even catch my feet. He threw a wave of energy towards me and I threw my arms forward to protect myself.

Even though I collapsed to the ground, the saga continued to relentlessly use its energy waves against me. I tried to avoid them by running left and right, but it was no use. I quickly grabbed a big rock and decided to throw it and when he smashed the rock with his energy wave, I appeared from behind the rock and punched him in the head. Then I hit him in the stomach and when he ducked from the punch, I put both hands together and hit his back with all my strength.

Although he fell to the ground, the epic managed to quickly dodge my other incoming blows. Then he turned and gave me a swift kick. As I stepped back, he put his hands on my stomach, just like he did with the King, and tried to ignite a wave of energy. I made the first move and grabbed the Epic by the wrists, pushed him back, and then hit him hard with my head. It didn't seem to hurt him much, so he hit me back with his head. When we faced each other, we clasped our hands tightly and started pushing each other.

The epic looked at me and said: "This is what I'm looking for, the power of a wolf. Come on, boy. Show me all your strength. Show me all your strength so I won't kill you in vain."

Our feet pounded the ground with intense force as we pushed each other with all our might. The earth below us began to collapse, and cracks spread all over the battlefield. The battle was neck and neck until he unleashed a wave of energy, badly burning my hands. When I recoiled, he struck me in the head with his knee and pummeled me until I was breathless, then hurled me far back with a final blow.

Struggling to stand, I saw the First Epic slowly approaching me, and I knew I was on the verge of defeat. There was only one option left: I had to relinquish all control and unleash a monster I never knew existed.

The First Epic drew nearer, and I had no choice but to act. Grabbing a knife from the ground, I slashed my stomach, letting my blood flow.

"Hey, Kid, you're ruining the show," Epic taunted.

My power surged through me, and I dropped the knife involuntarily. I could no longer control my body in any way. As Epic approached, I rose to my feet.

"Whatever. I'll still have fun beating you to death," Epic sneered.

I seized his throat and slammed him to the ground, raining blows upon him. He used his energy wave to shoot me in the head and managed to scramble to his feet. But I pursued him, grabbing his arm, pulling him close, and delivering a brutal knee to his stomach. My body moved faster and attacked with merciless intensity, even stronger than when I took on the first elite soldier.

Epic flailed his fists at me, but I easily dodged them, landing a fierce blow to his throat. When he was gasping for breath, I evaded his final punch and slammed him in the head with my elbow. As I prepared to strike again, he tried to block my fist with his arms, but I hit him with such force that my fist broke through and landed in his stomach.

Angry, he charged at me, striking my stomach with all his might. But I grabbed his wrist and flung him backward. In mid-air, I appeared by his side, thwarting his attempt to kick me and delivering a powerful blow to his chest. He collapsed, gasping for air.

He looked at me with intense hatred, realizing that the end was near, the First Epic leapt into the air with all his might to make one last move. Clasping his hands together, he aimed at me and began to emit a wave of unparalleled energy. The sheer power of the energy wave was palpable, and being caught by it could mean certain death. Yet I didn't run away, my body was strangely still, as if I was waiting for him.

The energy wave was getting closer and closer and I knew I had no way out, but just as it was about to hit, I extended my claws forward like a shield, my claws were like iron, and somehow I managed to deflect the energy wave, but not only that, even though I felt my hands burning, I managed to deflect the energy wave towards the first Epic. The first Epic, unable to dodge the incoming attack, collapsed with it.

I was sure he would never get up again.
