Shinobi From Hell

"He… He showed up?" While someone might call him a fool for being shocked at Klautz's appearance, only he knew how much importance such an event had. 

At first, Dant had thought that someone would be dying at this stage so that Klautz can take on the beast. Little did he knew that such a strategy would be rendered completely useless in face of such a speedy beast.

But when he found himself at death's door, everything didn't seem so simple anymore. He never thought that Klautz would keep his promise and save his life.

But their was something he found much more unbelievable. Klautz not only saved him, but is now fighting the tooth and nail without any sacrifices being made for him.

"Does it mean… Does it mean he is sparing her life?" Dant could come to only one conclusion as to why Klautz would be entering the fray. 'If it is not for saving his wife what else could it be?' He contemplated. Dant mistook Klautz appearance for him showing pity on him and his wife. After all if no one dies at this stage, with Bret dying in the next stage, they will be able to leave the trial grounds safely.

"Maybe he is not as scary as I initially thought," Dant said as tickles of salty water ran down his face. The fortuitous encounter he was waiting for, something that would save his family had come in front of him yet again. He was luckier than he had ever been. First Klautz had saved him and now he was saving his wife. How could he not feel indebted? He began feeling extremely grateful to the uninitiated Klautz. 

Klautz had no clue that he was being misunderstood in such a ridiculous fashion. After all the only reason he is fighting this beast is cause the old way won't work and he already gave away his location when he threw the sword.

"Thank you," he whispered under his breath. Even if he didn't make sobbing sounds the tears won't stop flowing.

Bret and Verona watched as KLautz fought with the beast. 'Amazing' was the only thing that they could say. Both of them were equally matched in speed. While the beast was most ferocious and scary as it can be, Klautz was cautious not to get hurt at all. He had only light injuries on him even after fighting for so long. He was dodging every attck that came its way while attacking only when he was most sure it would hit.

Bret and Verona couldn't even follow them with their eyes. Once again they were reminded as to why they should revere Klautz and fear him even.

"Tch, it is not working!" Klautz complained. The beast was much faster than he had initially predicted. He could barely dodge and even for that, he had to be on his toes at all times. He was getting fewer and fewer chances to attack.

"Damn it, boost again!"

[User chose to use Probationer]

[All stats boosted by +2]

[No of uses left: 2/5]

Klautz agility got another +2.

Little by little Klautz gained the edge over the beast after that boost. He couldn't help but smile.

"Now come at me," He readied his sword.

*slash*

With a diagonal slash, he left a deep imprint on the beast's back.  Red blood tickled from the injury he imparted.

"Roar!" the beast cried in pain. But it didn't end there as the beast refused to give up. He pounced at Klautz as the battle continued. The beast wasn't much stronger than those beasts Klautz fought in the previous stages. It had a low strength stat. But it was still annoying because of its speed.

"It's time to finish this," With the boost in his strength that came as a side effect, it didn't take long for Klautz to give some major stabs to the beast. Klautz had been always aiming for the beast's neck. With a low defence stat that would have been the end of it. But alas, he never made his mark. But now with the beast being injured, it had slowed down considerably.

Klautz unleashed an intense amount of killing intent which causes the beast to halt its charge.

*Slash*

The beast's leapt as it dodged Klautz's supposed to be finishing blow.

Klautz breathed heavily as his chest went up and down. His panting didn't seem to cease after such an exhausting battle. Everyone thought that he deserved some rest. 

"Sh*t I can't finish this. Looks like I have depleted my stamina."

Klautz has been fighting non-stop ever since... ever since the boss battle began back at the safe zone. Dant's group was better off as they had escaped even before the safe zone battle began. Coupled with such a hack and slash battle with this sabertooth in which he had to constantly dodge against the beast, his stamina had taken a severe blow. 

Because of this Klautz felt extremely famished. With no healer on his side, he could only rely on one thing.

"Healing wave!" He said as he rubbed his ring.

[User used Probationer]

[Number of uses left 1/5]

A holy yellowish light wrapped around Klautz as the light injuries he had on his body began to heal. His breathing calmed down as he puffed his chest. He was healed; his stamina was replenished back to the brim again.

"Let's see how you dodge my attacks now."

Klautz lept at the beast. Somehow the beast sensed its impending death. It tried to run but alas with the +4 stat boost that Klautz got after using Probationer twice, he was faster than the sabertooth.

*Slash*

The beast neck was mercilessly slashed separating the head from the torso. Blood gushed and splattered on Klautz face which died him in red.

*thud*
