One Shot

Garou was sitting in the carriage while staring daggers at Seryu, the crazy bitch actually bandaged him till he looked like a mummy. The later in return gave him her angry stare.

The guy she picked up turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothes. After putting all this effort in helping him treating the wounds, he asked if they had something to eat. She so foolishly took out their food and lay it in front of Garou who ate whole without leaving anything behind. The guy ate food for 5 people in a single meal. What made it worse is that she received the anger of her hungry fellow soldiers and a berated by Ogre. And the ungrateful guy not only didn't try to help her, but he seemed to enjoy the show. Seryu started regretting helping him.

"Hey Seryu, do you have something else to eat?" Garou asked as he wanted to piss Seryu more.

"You ungrateful glutton, we don't have anything else !!!" Seryu replied angrily

"You still have that little thing next to you, it looks tasty," Garou said eyeing Seryu's pet. The pet sensing Garou hungry gaze hid behind his owner, for some reason, the human before him gave a dreadful feeling.

"You monster, you can't eat Kuro !!!!" Seryu screamed back as she dropped down to hug Kuro protectively as she eyed Garou, who smirked evilly at her, he was not someone who would let others walk on him without biting back.

Ogre on the side laughed along with the rest of the soldiers, he then said "Garou, give Seryu a break, you are already in your thirties. Try acting more dignified."

Garou looked toward Ogre and said, "I'm 18 smart ass."

Ogre and the rest stopped laughing as they stared in shock toward Garou.

"18??? You are younger than me !!! This can't be true, you must be lying" Seryu said with a shocked face as she dismissed Garou words

"I swear on my pride that I'm 18, happy now ?" Garou said. He didn't like how stunned they are, he doesn't look that old, does he?

"Assuming your words are real, how the fuck did become looking older like this, this can't be natural?" Ogre asked the question in mind of the soldiers under him.

"I train a lot" Garou answered.

"Oh, so you are strong?" Seryu asked

"Probably one of the strongest beings in this world," Garou said arrogantly. Even if he wasn't at the top, he still one of the strongest out there. Moreover, unlike many, his strength is the result of his hard work. Not some kind of extraordinary power they were given or born with.

"It won't harm you if you tried to be a little humbler" Seryu replied, while the rest dismissed his words.

The group continued with Garou and Seryu annoying each other, while the rest laughing at them. Hours later, Seryu screamed happily "The capital, I can see it!!!"

Garou looked forward and widened his eyes, he could see a massive city with a massive palace at the top of the mountain. His mind short-circuited for a moment before he started thinking violently. What was going on here? This is definitely not Z city, hell it not even any of Japan's cities.

Seryu noticed Garou's surprise, she assumed because it is the first time seeing the capital, so she spoke proudly "The capital is the biggest and most beautiful city in the empire."

Garou face darkened slightly as he asked "Seryu, did you of the words China, America or maybe Asia ?"

Seryu shook her head and replied "never. What are those?"

Garou ignored her and thought about everything since he woke up. The weird animal, the group of heroes, these soldiers and the capital before him. Is he still in his world? He then remembered the light he saw before losing his consciousness last night. Garou was sure that purple light has something to do with all of this.

"Earth Dragons !!!!" A soldier screamed, pulling Garou out from his thoughts.

Garou looked forward, 5 huge monsters were coming from the ground. Garou narrowed his eyes. He didn't recognize these things, and the soldiers knew them, so they are known around here. Garou was 99% sure he wasn't in Japan or even in his world by now.

"Garou stay in the carriage, don't leave it no matter what!! We will do our best to stop these things" Seryu said hurriedly before she charged forward with Kuro.

Ogre in the front screamed to his soldiers "Raise your weapon and open fire, kill these bastards. Seryu order Kuro to attack" while he brought his sword out and charged toward one of the monsters.

The soldiers started firing alongside Seryu, who brought out two small machine guns. Kuro, who looked like a little dog, grew larger suddenly. It looked like a huge white muscular bear. His hands disgustingly became enormous, reminding Garou of the S-ranked hero Black Shine but white.

Kuro charged toward one of the beasts and savagely bit the neck. On the other side, Ogre cut down one of the giant monster. In few seconds 2 out of 5 already down. The remaining three charged toward Seryu and soldier who were shooting bullets toward them. Before they could reach them, one of the beasts died because of the shots.

The last two continued their advancement toward the group, The soldiers seeing the approaching beasts ran for their lives except Seryu who continued shooting them, causing another one to die. However, the last one was a few meters away from her, and she was out of ammo.

Seryu seeing the approaching beast closed her eyes surrendering to her face when she heard an explosion in front of her but she felt no pain. She opened her eyes and met with Garous back, who was standing two feet in front of her. His leg resting on top the earth dragon crushed head. The best was killed instantly by crushing his skull.

Garou turned around to face her and said, "Despite being so weak, you have a little courage and so much foolishness. What were you thinking? This thing could have killed you."

Seryu felt a little insulted by being called weak, but she still answered "If I moved you would have died. It is my job as a soldier to protect the citizens."

Garou rolled his eyes at her words "Protect me? I'm stronger than you. Actually, I'm stronger than all of you combined even while I'm injured. Not to mention, I told you I'm strong."

Seryu replied "I thought you were lying to me. Beside Kuro can beat you !!"

Garou looked at the huge and said while licking his lips "I don't mind fighting it, but if I win, I want to cook him hehehehe."

Seryu widened her eyes as she jumped in front of Garou trying to hide his sight from Kuro "No!!! You can't cook Kuro."

Garou smirked evilly making Seryu worries for her dog survival. On the other hand, Ogre was staring at Garou intently. He was surprised by Garou speed and strength, seeing his performance just now, he was sure Garou was far stronger than him. This was his strength while being injured and seemingly tired, Ogre at this point believed Garou could be strong enough to give those elite with teigus a run for their money when he is at his peak.

And if he indeed was that strong, then how strong would he be if he used one himself? This thought terrified him, he might become as strong as generals. He then thought about the empire's strongest general, didn't that woman look for talents to add them to her army? Maybe if he got Garou to become her subordinate, he would receive a grand prize for his work.

While Ogre was thinking on how to use Garou, the later sensed something from Ogre and looked at him, He had no doubt Ogre was planning something for him. So he spoke, "Hey, What are you thinking about? I have a feeling you are plotting something evil here."

"What?!! NO!!! Captain Ogre is the greatest and kindest man that it is. How could you say he is plotting something evil !!" Seryu protest protecting her captain and mentor

Garou looked at her as if she was an idiot then pointed at Ogre "The guy looks like a ruffian who work as thief and rapist in dark alleys, and his single eye is adding more to this image. He has one of the ugliest and evilest faces I have ever seen. How can you be so blind?" he then pointed at the dog and said, "Hey Kuro, am I correct?"

Kuro, hearing Garou's words nodded as he didn't want to have trouble with this scary human. He might be a weapon in the shape of a pet, but he still had some emotion and simple thoughts. And both of them warning him of Garou.

Seryu looked at her pet hurt "You traitor!! How could you take his side !!"

Ogre, on the other hand, was looking at them angrily. He was evil and corrupted, he may not say it loudly, but he knew it, and everyone knew what kind of person he was, and it was not something of importance for him. But now, a dog and a guy, who didn't even know him for more than a few hours, accused him being evil for his looks. He doesn't look that bad, does he?

The soldiers who were listening to Garou and Seryu arguing over their captain face, and how he was twitching in anger made them look at each other awkwardly. One of the bravest soldiers said, "We should continue, let's not waste time here."

Ogre snapped at the soldier "You think my face is a waste of time?"

Garou and Seryu stopped arguing as they stared at Ogre, who was threatening to hunt the poor soldier.
