Guts walked through the darkness, his heavy steps crunching the leaves below him. A small group of monsters were huddled around a log, but upon sensing his presence, the monsters turned their attention to Guts.
The fight was over in moments as Guts slashed through them with ease using the Dragon Slayer. It was amazing that he could wield such an impressive weapon, for it was much too large to be considered a typical sword. Much too large, much too heavy...
The severed bodies of the malicious creatures were in pieces on the grass. Without a word, Guts approached the log and saw you stuck inside. *"That would explain what those monsters were focused onโฆ"* he thought to himself. You were shaking in fear, and it didn't look like you could get out of the log very easily.
Guts said nothing as he set the Dragon Slayer down and crouched, pulling you out of the log by your ankles. He offered you no more than a glance to make sure you were alive before he picked up his sword -if you could even call it that- again, slinging it over his shoulder with an ease that was almost unsettling.
He was unlike anything youโd ever seen before.
