Cmon, Fight Bobin!

Seeing the 7-foot wolf Infront of them Ron and Bob took out their weapons. Ron took out his axe while Bob took out his long sword.

The ground shook beneath their feet as the tree's branches thrashed wildly, reaching out like gnarled fingers to impale anything in their path. With lightning-fast reflexes, Edward dismounted and motioned for Bob and Ron to do the same.

Vines erupted from the tree's trunk and surrounded the wolf's body, each thorn-like tendril shooting towards Edward with deadly precision. He skillfully deflected them, but the onslaught seemed endless.

Meanwhile, Ron found that he could feel something warm forming inside his body and flowing into the axe making it shine, enabling him to slice through the wood with ease. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't use his eyes like before.

Bob too was too now able to use magic, coating his long sword with blue aura.

As Edward pressed forward, his sword ablaze with fire slicing all the vines that surrounded it, the massive wolf at the heart of the chaos let out a deafening roar. It swiped its massive claws at Edward, who leaped above them and tried to plunge his sword into the wolf's chest.

However, the wolf quickly jumped back avoid the attack. It again formed for vines with sharp thorns trying to grab and kill Edwards.

As the vines lashed forward, Edwards took a steady stand and swung his sword, unleashing a powerful slash of flames that engulfed the vines, burning them to a crisp and slashing the wolf's body with incredible force.

The wolf writhed in pain and fury, its vines lashing out with renewed Vigor. They twisted and rotated, slicing through the surrounding trees like a massive buzzsaw. Bob and Ron fought hard to avoid the vines, but the onslaught seemed never-ending.

Meanwhile, Edward charged forward, his flame sword flashing in the dim light of the forest. He sliced through the vines the wolf had formed with ease, but the wolf was not giving up. It tried to bite Edward with its massive jaws, but he was too fast for it, evading the attack and delivering a swift strike to the wolf's neck.

With a mighty roar, the wolf unleashed more vines that spun like a tornado, slicing through everything in their path. The three fought valiantly, dodging and weaving through the vines and cutting them down with all their might. Finally, Edward saw his chance and charged at the wolf, his sword blazing with fire.

With a deft swing, he sliced through the wolf's remaining vines and dealt a powerful blow to its head, causing it to fall to the ground, lifeless.

The whole forest went back to normal again.

"Well good job on taking care of the branches," said Edward to Ron and Bob who looked like they could drop dead any second.

After resting for a bit, the three of them started walking in the forest as they had lost their horse.

"Man, I can't walk anymore," said Bob, panting heavily.

"Bro, come on man, it's not even been 30 minutes," said Ron, trying to motivate him.

"We have to keep moving before the sun goes down," Edward reminded them.

"Mr. Edward, how much more do we have to go to reach there?" asked Bob, curious to know.

"Too much," replied Edward with a sigh.

Suddenly, Ron spoke up, "Yes, now that I think about it, I never asked you about your devil contract. What happened in your contract?"

"Umm about that".

.

{What really happened}

Bob found himself standing in a dark, eerie forest, with strange, glowing eyes peering at him from the shadows.

"Who's there?" Bob called out, feeling a little nervous.

Suddenly, a devil stepped out from behind a tree, looking all menacing and terrifying. But Bob wasn't one to back down from a challenge.

"Hey, you're kinda cute," Bob said with a wink. "Wanna make a deal?"

The devil was taken aback. "You think I'm cute?"

"Sure do," Bob replied, flashing a grin. "But more importantly, I could use some magical powers. You got any of those?"

The devil pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll make a deal with you. But it's gonna cost you something."

"Name your price," Bob said confidently.

"I want your soul," the devil said with a smirk.

Bob thought for a moment, then replied, "Nah, I think I'll keep that. How about...my left sock?"

The devil raised an eyebrow. "Your left sock?"

"Yeah, I got a great pair of socks that I really love, but the right one tore a bit. So, if you give me some cool powers, I'll give you my left sock. Deal?"

The devil shrugged. "Fine, I'll take it" said the devil and it formed a contract with Ron.

And with that, the devil vanished into thin air, leaving Bob standing alone in the dark forest with only his right socks.

"Well, that was easy" thought Bob.

.

coming back:

Bob's face lit up with pride, "Oh yeah! I had to fight a big monster, man. It was tough. I almost died."

"Oh, yea then what's the power you got?" asked Ron.

"I think it was cursing or something. I can curse someone and ask them to do what I want if it works," Bob replied.

Ron nodded thoughtfully, "Interesting."

Bob beamed, "I know, right? It's gonna come in handy for sure."

"Oh, look I can see light over there," said Bob, pointing ahead.

"We must be getting close," Edward said, joining the conversation.

"Finally," said Ron as he saw the massive town infront of him.

.

As the three of them walked towards the town, there was a long line of people waiting to get inside.

Ignoring the line, the trio approached the two guards who were checking all the goods.

"STOP!" shouted one guard. "Can't you see the line behind you?" he said angrily.

"My name is Austin, and I am empirical guard returning from an important mission in the southern territories," said Edward, trying to sound friendly.

The guard eyed them suspiciously, "And what about these two pimps behind you?"

"Ohh, these are my cousins, Chips and Jester, c'mon don't be shy, say hi" said Edward with a forced smile.

"Use better names, dumbass," though both of them.

The guard asked, "Do you have any identification with you?"

"Yes, I do," said Edward as he took out an identification card and showed it to him.

He also slipped a silver coin to the guard with the card, hoping it would help things move along.

After reading the card and seeing the coin, the guard signalled for the doors to be opened and let them inside the town.
