The Owlbear then started to speak with its mind, sounds vibrating in the air surrounding it.
"Wait, Human! Haven't you massacred enough? What did we ever do to you? I watched you brutalize scores of my species and for what? To curb your unending appetite for destruction? My guidance is what safeguards my people. I never ant you any harm!"
The mbers of the caravan grew dumbfounded at the loud voice echoing for all to hear. This bird knew how to speak human language? This was a monuntal discovery! If it had enough intelligence to speak dialogue and common ground could be reached!
'Ha? Do I look like I give a crap about any of that? How many humans have died to you and your kin? I don't see you doing any differently. Stop trying to sound honorable you dumbass!'
"But we never assaulted your cities! We only killed the ones in the forest. And it was to survive only! What else were we expected to do?"
The rcenaries of the caravan started comnting on what they heard. "Doesn't it sound like the butcher intends to kill the Owlbear no matter what?"
"Yeah, never thought I would see an Owlbear of all things plead innocent in eating people." Added another.
The rcenary leader then rubbed his bald head as he replied. "Well, to kill or spare this beast is not our call. Responsibility only belongs to those who willingly shoulder it."
'Don't fuck with . You never assaulted the cities not because you didn't not want to but because you lacked the power to do so. I have spent a month with this forest's inhabitants Owlbear. I know the beast tides are the orders of you elders.'
"They you must know we never had a choice! If we did not send the beast tides to reduce our numbers, the rest will starve!"
'And all of you so happened to send all your enemies into the beast tides then? Fuck your excuses, everyone from the apes, to the butterflies, the toads to the bisons hates your self-righteous condescending ass.'
"Those decisions were made by our clan leaders, it is not like I wanted to do it!"
'Yeah, yeah so selling the children of the other clans beneath you to humans was totally outside your control no? Poor you. You are a fucking traitor you pathetic little bitch. Today will be your death anniversary.'
"How dare you lecture on the responsibilities of leadership, it is a heavy burden I didn't do so because I want to. It was that or annihilation! I am innocent!"
The rcenaries drew a blank on the words the colossal monster was making as it patted its ear and neck. This gave them an idea of how smart monsters can beco. The ripples of this event would shake the foundations of this world.
'I am uninterested in your excuses bird. I learned one thing for sure while living with you fuckers for a month. You bastard only grow chatty when you know you are about to die.'
"Do not push human. We are not even on the sa level as warriors. I could kill you like a bug if I wanted to."
'I fought with thousands of bugs bird. From butterflies who create copies of themselves to beetles who regrow limbs as easily as taking a shit. You can call a bug if you wish, but you will still die in the next few minutes.'
"What do you want?! Spare and I will give you all your heart's desire."
'I want to go ho.'
"Then I will take you ho! Where do you live? I will even protect your house like a guard forever."
'When I arrived here, everything in this forest wanted to kill , You helped the wolf, right? Did he ask you to hunt in exchange for favors? If I didn't survive your ambushes I would be long gone. Since then I hunted and killed all of you so-called overlords. You are the last bird. I can only go ho once you are all dead.'
"YOU ARE TOO ARROGANT HUMAN!"
'And, you talk too much, oh by the way. I finally found your second heart. Who would have thought it was between your testicles? Well sayonara bird, we won't be eting again.'
"NOOO!!!!!!"
A bone sword then pierced out the groin area of the Owlbear. The monster's testicles rolled out as the blade traveled upwards. Red fiery light accompanied the edge as it slowly sliced the enormous body in two. Loud screams from the Owlbear thundered in the entire forest as well as the trails.
The caravan watched in horror as the Owlbear slowly got bisected despite the monster's best efforts to stop it. Death finally arrived for the Owlbear Tyrant when the bone reached its brain.
With the front side of the monster sliced open its organs and bodily fluids all rushed out like lava out of a volcano. The gruesoness of the kill caused about 80% of the rcenaries to vomit in disgust.
Suddenly however the blood started to flow backward like a recalled tsunami, then huge chunks of at started to disappear. This went on until eventually, the entire corpse disappeared.
Shocked by the horrific execution they had to witness, none of the humans could speak. Until they heard the sound of crisp footsteps walking toward them.
They eventually saw that the butcher, a 180cm tall man with a headpiece made from forest wolves. The man had a large piece of at in his hand as he took large bites of it.
No one could move from terror at the approaching lunatic to the caravan, those of lesser wills started to soil themselves as they failed to keep themselves calm.
The rcenary leader walked forward to serve as a representative. He lowered his axe to the ground to show he wasn't on edge.
"Greetings, I am Hach Holzfaller leader of this group's escorts. Impressive battle friend, how can I help you?"
Inwardly Hach was sweating bullets as he thought. 'FUCCCCK! Was that too chummy? What if this guy cos and slices in two? AHHH!!! Can't soone take over for already!'
The Butcher didn't engage the rcenary and slowly said an order devoid of any feeling. "Take to the Capital of Valorious."
Hach was about to decline when a middle-aged man quickly ca out and spoke with the butcher while rubbing his hands. "Master Butcher, I am a rchant and the owner of this caravan my na is Alan Sryaver. I would gladly take you to the capital."
Alan then stretched out his hand toward the butcher in an attempt to shake hands, unfortunately, the man covered in Owlbear blood only looked at his hand without saying anything.
The rchant could only weekly retract his hand as he shared his next thoughts. "While I did say I would take you to the capital, I have two other places I need to visit first as part of this caravan expedition. Are you in a hurry? If you aren't why not stay with us while waiting?"
Taking sothing from his pocket, the butcher threw sothing toward Alan. The object was caught by Hach as he analyzed it's nature. After a few seconds and everyone's jaw dropped to the floor.
"This… This is a class B magic stone, right? Why are you giving sothing so expensive to us?"
"Fare. Take to the capital Now."
