Capítulo 32: Devil

In the center of the village, people started gathering to watch two giants fight. Well, one was fighting, and the other was being beat up. All the guards from the gates and outside came rushing when they saw the young chief being attacked by a traitor, but before any of them could do anything, the real chief appeared and stopped them. He said he would explain everything later and let them fight right now. Meanwhile, many of the giants questioned the little man sitting on the chief's shoulder; one even pointed it out to the chief in response, to which he only replied. "And?" Which meant it was fine and no one pushed it further.

Meanwhile, in the center of the village, Carus grabbed Radus by the face and slammed him into the ground. Turning him over and grabbing him by his neck and legs, slamming him down on his knee by the back, which almost made a cracking noise. He grabbed Radus and punched him in the guts, and before Radus color fell down, he grabbed the man by the face and hit him with the knee in the head as blood spilled from Radus's face. Giving the fucker no time to collect himself, Carus uppercutted him, then while he was knocked back, he grabbed his hand, pulled him in, and punched him directly in the face, making his teeth go flying.

He punched his face with a right jab and left uppercut, thinking about everything Radus and Rena did. He punched him down into the ground so hard that Jack can swear he saw the man bounce back up from solid ground. Jack was so enjoying the show as Carus grabbed Radus's head, dragged him through the ground, and then slammed him down. Before getting on top of him and starting to punch down his face over and over and over again until he couldn't even bleed anymore. Carus's own hands were bloody, but it was nothing compared to the condition Radus was in right now. This beatdown went on for several hours until Radus finally stopped breathing.

As he finally did, Jack just threw a dagger made from the poisoned snake tooth towards the man just before he died, wondering if that would work. Finally, the giant stopped breathing, and a panel popped up.

[You have killed an inferior III creature.]

[100 merits have been awarded.]

[You have completed the quest Revenge and Blood].

[3000 merits have been awarded.]

This was the sole reason why Jack changed his mind to help out Carus in the first place. Only an idiot would avoid that many points, and Jack was really no idiot as he finally jumped off the chief's shoulder, gliding down with his Aquamarine Fangs.

Carus, who had finally stopped beating down the body of the dead Radus, sighed and looked up towards the sky. He had taken another life, yet he didn't feel bad. He thought he would feel bad or hollow after getting revenge, but what a buttload of bullshit! He had never felt this good in his life, as he chuckled. Seeing this, the chief was almost worried for a second, seeing the tiny man walk towards Carus, who was laughing after killing someone. It felt like the devil itself had placed its hand on his child, but then again, he couldn't say anything since that man was also the person who saved his life. "What a day to see," he said to himself while sighing.

"Feel better?" Carus nodded to Jack's question. "A lot", Jack smiled, but before he could say anything else, the chief spoke. "I am afraid you'll have to leave now. We cannot allow outsiders in our village; I am forever indebted to you, but I cannot allow you to stay here, little one."

Carus was angered by his father's words. After all that the man did for them, was he going to kick him out? He wanted to say something, but he felt the words get stuck in his throat upon seeing the glare of his dad.

"Hey Carus, remember the favor? I'll call it in." Carus looked at Jack, suddenly a bit confused as to what he meant but it didn't take him long to realize.

Carus was almost shocked as he did realize. But he understood better than anyone that Jack wasn't one for jokes, if anything, which meant he was completely serious. But thinking about it, Carus can't be living under his dad's shadow and following his dad's orders all his life. He needed to stand up for himself at some point; maybe this was the time it was meant to happen. "No, dad, he isn't leaving. He is going to stay, and he's my guest."

"Did you not?"

"I heard it. I have been hearing it my whole life. This time, you need to understand what I am saying, dad. He saved my, your, and everyone here in the village's life, probably, and you are not treating him like an outsider."

"Fine, then, not as your dad. As your chief, I order you to: "

"I refuse. If you are going to order me as the chief, then I'll do what I must. I'll fight you right here for the position of chief. Come at me, father."

The chief was silent. Looking at the young boy, who was all grown up now, He had a broken nose and multiple injuries on his face, yet he stood for what he believed in. His conviction was admirable. He truly believed in what he stood for, it seemed. Even more than the chief himself did. He always thought keeping the village closed up was a good way to keep themselves safe, but the danger came from within the village in this case. He was a stubborn man, but one who could understand his own mistakes. Maybe it was the right time to change things in the end. As he looked at his son, he didn't see the man with bloody hands standing in front of him right now; he saw the little child who wanted to sit on his dad's shoulder to see the stars. Oh, how the time passes. "I yield."

The chief spoke one word, which made everyone except Jack almost faint in surprise. He understood what the giant's emotional state was right now, but he could care less about this melodrama.

"I NAME MY SON AS THE NEXT CHIEF OF THE GIANT VILLAGE."

The chief announced without wasting a breath as Jack smiled seeing the panel that popped up in front of him.

[You have gained the favor of the chief of the dominant race of the forest of giants.]

[+1000 merits have been awarded.]

[Extra-skill gigantification has been awarded.]

"It's a great day today. But i really want some sleep now." Jack spoke with a smile as he looked up at the timer in the middle of the village center, finally hitting 0.

[THE TUTORIAL HAS ENDED]
