25 Forest Hun (1/2)

In a lush forested area, four men stood around, facing a tree that was riddled with scratch marks. The scratches weren't deep, however, they were still dangerous nevertheless. These scratches came from Zheng, who stood next to Niko.Zheng's hand was hairier than Candreva chest and his nails expanded out with a purple color. The fur like hair on his hands and forearm was also shaded with a purple color making it look strange. Niko could also feel an acute aura emitting from the claws of Zheng, however, it was too little to make him feel anything else.

”I'm next!” Candreva walked forward with big strides as he faced the thick brown tree, but strangely, Candreva slowly turned and faced the others and pointed towards Zheng, ”Zheng, my skill doesn't kill, but it's very manly! Let me test it out on you!”

Niko looked at Zheng who walked back facing Candreva as well and stood to face Candreva.

”Charge at me!” Candreva took a stance as he said this.

Zheng tilted his head and grinned. His purple nails were raised as he rushed towards Candreva, however, something strange happened.

[Powerful Beast Roar]

”ROAR!!!” Candreva gave a powerful roar which sent visible sound waves from his mouth towards Zheng.

The rushing Zheng saw the sound waves coming towards him, however, he was too slow to evade it. As the sound wave hit him, he was completely stopped in his tracks as if he was paralyzed and began to fall forward due to momentum. As he was about to fall face first towards the ground, he was able to snap out of it to pick himself up.

”What just happened?” Ivanic asked with a tilted head confused.

Zheng shook his head as he shrugged, ”I don't know… As soon as I heard the roar my body became paralyzed and my mind went blank for a slight second…”

”Hahaha!! Manly! Truly manly! All monsters will be paralyzed for a second in front of this man!” Candreva pumped up his hairy chest as he gave a huge grin.

”That's a unique skill! I have only seen a skill like that once and it was one of those protectors. If used properly your skill will heavily aid us in combat!” Ivanic spoke with excitement.

”Aid!? That's what the weak do! I'm manly! I fight!” Candreva protested, making ivanic annoyed.

Ivanic then said, ”It's smart. We are here to live and prosper, I hope you are smart when dealing with monsters and does not bring us down.” As if he had just realized who he was talking to, he said, ”... And it would be manly to not bring the team down!”
