Sometime later, on a late evening, Erws sneaked out once more from the Grynssford Manor. Knocking out the guardsmen near his chambers, he quietly went his way outside and made journey towards the village of the strange lady that "He" encountered days prior.
"You can find her all by yourself." The voice told Erws.
"I'm not so sure about it. But I can feel a strange energy coming this way." Erws replied.
"Hmmm." The voice "nodded" in agreement.
Erws made his way through the hilly terrain west of Tynthebarne, following the source of the strange energy. His tingling senses continue to grow in intensity as he further nears the source.
However, it wasn't the lady from before."Erws, you found something else." The voice ridiculed him.
"A PUNY HUMAN? OH, IT'S A DAMNED MUTE!" The mysterious being cackled.
Standing before Erws is a giant being with a bulky body with a complexion that absorbs every ray of light. It was a Demonspawn Ogre, although where it came from was a mystery in itself.
"How did this manage to get here?" The voice rattled.
"I've never seen this thing before I died. Are you sure this isn't your fault?" Erws asked.
"If it were mine, I would've known! But clearly something is amiss here!" The voice replied.
Erws proceeded to dodge the creature's attacks. Although slow and easy to move against, Erws wouldn't dare to risk getting hit by the tree that the Demonspawn was using as a club.
"COME AT ME, WEAKLING!" The ogre taunted.
"Wait, Erws, don't!" The voice alarmed.
Erws dashed and dodged the Ogre's attacks, sneaking underneath the creature's groin and proceeding to strike with his dagger. This caused immense pain towards the demonspawn and almost crushes Erws underneath if not for the voice's quick-decision of taking control of Erws' body.
"Why'd you do that?" Erws asked.
"You stupid kid. You're a man with an experience of a previous life time, and yet you act like you had none. Don't be reckless!" The voice angrily responded.
The demonspawn continued screaming in agony, which alarmed neighboring settlements. The voice knew better to just leave the being alone, and so it proceeded to attack the creature while it was weakened.
"You... you're one of us... Why are you doing this to me?" The creature asked.
"You are sorely mistaken." The voice replied.
Using Erws' dagger, the voice pummeled through until the ogre's chest was broken, and striked the demon's heart. This burned Erws' hand as the demon heart engulfed his arms in a fiery blaze. The rest of the demonspawn withered away into the air as ashes, and Erws soon fainted.
