119 118. Brown bear and mother and child.txt (1/2)

There's a fire bear!

Someone shouted and the village panicked.

A fire bear is a powerful demon.

It has hard fur that can repel ordinary swords and bows and arrows, stiff arms that can shatter huge rocks with a single blow, and it is also a terrifying existence that spits fire and turns the village into a sea of fire.

''Run!　Just run!

Borrow a horse from the chief and drive it into town!　Call the adventurers!

There is no such thing as a vigilante group in a small village.

Some men confronted the fire bear with mulberry, sickles and sticks to stop him.

The fire bear stood up on his hind legs only and breathed fire.

''Whoa!''

The villagers are helpless.

They may have been drafted and trained in combat, but they are the ones with the least aptitude for warfare.

Those with higher aptitude have become knights, joined the national army, become adventurers, or become the private army of their lords.

No matter how much the empire boasted one of the best national and military strengths, as expected, even those who couldn't become combatants couldn't be elite.

The fire bears mockingly tore into people with their sharp claws and blew them away with their strong arms.

He then chased after the fleeing people.

The speed of the fire bear was comparable to that of a horse, and an ordinary person would not be able to escape.

The fire bear circled around in front of the mother, who was holding the little girl in her left arm and pulling the boy's hand with her right hand as she struggled to escape.

The reason he went all the way around when he could have attacked her from behind is because the fire bear has a cruel desire to enjoy the fear of the person he is attacking.

'Hee......'

Her mother turns blue and slumps to the spot.

Her husband is unlucky enough to be out of the village on business, and she can't rely on him.

'You - go away!

A boy picked up a pebble lying nearby and threw it at the fire bear.

Of course, there was no way for such a thing to pass.

''Ggaaaaaaah!''

The fire bear barked deliberately.

''Hee!''

The mother is frightened, the girl begins to cry, and the boy jolts and shakes as he picks up the stone again and throws it.

What motivates him is the sense of duty that he will protect his mother and sister now that his father is gone.

In an attempt to violate such small courage, the fire bear slowly approached him.

The mother quickly withdrew her son's hand and held him in a tight hug.

The fire bear changed its target to its mother and raised its right arm, and at the moment it raised its right arm, a powerful impact struck its side of the head.

The huge body of the fire bear, which should be taller than a two-story building and boasting a weight to match, floats up, spins around and crashes to the ground.

''It was a good decision to come closer for some reason.
