GA! Arad shouted, swinging his fist at the yeti and smacking him in the face. Flames gushed from his elbow, pushing his fist forward and sending the yeti rolling back.

The yeti gasped, opening his teary eyes to look up, only to see Arad flying toward him with a burning fist.

CRACK! Bigfoot jumped at Arad, swinging a forward kick.

Arad lifted his left arm and blocked the kick, barely managing not to get blown away.

Bigfoot smiled, grabbing Arad’s arm with his foot. He then stood on his hands and swung Arad into the air.

Arad smiled, swinging his quarterstaff down at Bigfoot’s crotch and smashing it.

Bigfoot cried, his toes opening and letting go of Arad’s arm. But, since he already picked up momentum, Arad flew toward the demonic baboons-infested trees.

CRACK! Arad caught one of the tree branches with his hand, looking around to see tens of six armed chimps and monkeys pouncing at him.

SWOSH! He spun his quarterstaff, smacking two chimps down, and grabbed the third by the neck, swinging him at the others.

At that moment, the monkeys tried snatching Merlin from his back, but they were met with a fire blast coming from his foot. They can’t reach her as long as Arad is alert.

The baboons were smart enough to understand it. Arad isn’t just protecting Merlin on his back. He’s actively using her as a bait. Those who try to grab her are exposing themselves, and he’s taking that chance to kill them.

“OOO! OOOO!” A baboon growled, signaling to the rest that going after Merlin was a trap. Kill Arad first, then deal with her later.

Two chimps lunged at Arad from both sides, aiming to grab his arms and snatch the quarterstaff.

BAM! Arad jumped into the sky, using jets of fire from his feet to burn the trees.

The yeti had already recovered. He stood and picked a large stone, throwing it at Arad.

Arad’s barely dodged the stone, “OOOO!” He growled at the yeti, mocking his aim.

Those weren’t words, not something that could be understood, but the yeti got it. That mocking grin on Arad’s face. That high-pitched growl infuriated him.

BAM! Arad unleashed a massive burst of fire from beneath his feet, propelling himself toward the yeti at an incredible speed.

CRACK! Bigfoot jumped back into the fight, blocking Arad’s drop quarterstaff slam with a kick.

The ruler of the labyrinth had informed them about the massive black-haired human. Out of the three intruders, he’s the biggest problem. Even with all of his powers sealed, he still can’t be stopped.

SWOSH! Arad spun in place, giving Bigfoot a Fire Kick to the crotch once again. The monster cried, rolling back in the snow in agony.

ROAR! The yeti rushed in, swinging his fist at Arad’s face. VAM! Arad dodged the strike, punching him in the guts Fire Fist

BAM! The yeti flew back, and Arad rushed after him, dodging the barrage of stones thrown by the demon baboons. The moment the yeti looked up, Arad smacked him in the face with the quarterstaff, spinning for a second and a third hit on his torso.

Enraged and in pain, the yeti flailed his arms, pushing Arad’s quarterstaff away and rushing with his jaw open. His arms and fists aren’t his only weapon. Like everyone else, his massive jaw gave him a powerful bite.

Arad swung his fist, smacking the yeti’s jaw with his backhand before he could bite him. He then quickly went in for a bite of his own, ripping the monster’s nose.

The baboons in the trees went silent as the yeti stood there, shocked as blood dripped across his lips and teeth, dripping on the white snow.

Arad opened his jaw, spitting the yeti’s nose on the snow as he glared at them.

They could feel it.

Bigfoot stared back, shocked.

Arad might look human, but the thing standing there, glaring back at them, wasn’t a human.

Some of the baboons turned away to run as Arad took one step toward the yeti.

They can see it in his eyes, an apex predator glaring back at them with hunger and bloodthirst swirling in his soul. That’s a dragon, not a human.

BLUGH! Merlin extended her head to the side, puking, “Arad, slow down a bit,”

Arad stopped, looking back at her, “Are you all right?”

“I rode over a thousand horses, and you’re nine hundred and ninety of them,” She mumbled, “You’re shaking my organs as if I’m a wine bottle at a party,”

“Sorry,” Arad sighed, “But you have to deal with it,” He cracked his fist on the quarterstaff, “Those apes seem to have misunderstood something,” He glared at them.

“I’m not relying on her plan,” He pointed at Merlin, “You’re my prey, not hers,”

“Wait a moment,” Merlin gasped, her neck jolting back as Arad burst forth at Bigfoot, blitzing him with a burning kick to the face.

Bigfoot rolled on the ground, bouncing off a tree only for Arad to give him a second kick to the face.

ROAR! The yeti emerged from the snow, his roar distorted due to his severed nose. He swung his arm at Arad’s head.

“Your attacks are simple and easy to predict. After facing Alcott, Nina, and countless monsters that think, the likes of you would never hit me.” Arad wiggled, bending his torso and dodging the strike. Merlin gasped as the yeti’s arm barely missed her.

Using that momentum, Arad swung his quarterstaff at the yeti’s legs, tripping him down, and before he could hit the ground, Arad’s fist burst with flames as he punched him in the face, sending him flying between the trees.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! The trees started shaking, and Arad sighed, “It’s about time. Those apes were slowly getting on my nerves.”

Tens of yeti emerged from between the trees as a deep voice growled behind them, “Then I will give you more of them,” A massive yeti standing at almost five feet tall glared at Arad from the snow. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚

“An Abominable Yeti?!” Merlin gasped, “That wasn’t the only one?”

“That one with the big feet is the leader of the demon apes. This large one leads the yeti, and he should be the one guarding the stairs.”

The Abominable Yeti lifted his hand and dropped it down, “Kill him!” He shouted, and all the yeti’s lunged forward.

“With those numbers,” Arad smiled, “There is bound to be an idiot who pulls his claws. Make sure to catch him before you get hit,” Fire ignited in his fists.
