(Make Up Chapter for Thursday)
*****
A sea of flames seemed to be rolling towards Dave, as about a hundred Ignarok beasts charged in his direction, their fiery manes blazing like a wildfire. The ground trembled beneath their paws, and the air was filled with the thunderous sound of their collective roar. Dave’s eyes widened slightly as he took in the sheer number of beasts, a hint of amusement dancing on his lips.
"Shit! Did I trespass their territory or what?" he muttered to himself, a wry smile spreading across his face.
"It almost seems as if I missed my daily quest, and now I’m being punished by the system." He chuckled, the sound low and husky, as he shook his head. "Well, only that this time, I have all my stats and abilities intact. Let’s get this over with, and gather more armies."
With a fluid motion, Dave twisted his neck, cracking the vertebrae softly, before grasping his sword tightly. His eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he gazed out at the approaching beasts. "This will take a long time," he said, his voice laced with a hint of anticipation.
Without another word, Dave launched himself forward, dashing towards the group of Ignarok beasts with a speed that surpasses his human form. His sword flashed in the fading light, piercing the skull of one beast with deadly precision.
He punched another beast squarely on the face, the force of the blow sending it stumbling backward. Despite the inferno surrounding their heads, Dave seemed impervious to the flames, his endurance allowing him to shrug off the heat.
As he fought, the sound of clashing steel and the roar of the beasts filled the air, the scent of smoke and sweat hanging heavy over the battlefield. Dave moved with a deadly efficiency, his sword slicing through the beasts with ease, his movements were a blur of speed and precision.
A deafening roar erupted from the group of Ignarok, and the ground beneath Dave’s feet seemed to come alive as flames burst forth like a swarm of fiery serpents. It was like a larva from a mountain as it spewed out from below.
They danced and twisted, the tongues of fire licking at the air as they sought to engulf Dave. But he was a blur of motion, his speed allowing him to dodge and weave between the flames with ease. The heat was intense, but Dave’s agility and quick reflexes enabled him to avoid the worst of it.
