Started writing, went to get some water, came back, and forgot what I was going to write.

It happens all the time. And I'm not even drinking...

Continue with the same tactic?

 

Why the sheep?

I would continue, but it’s better to wait for Nebk, otherwise I might end up killing his character.

Let's continue. I have a mermaid. The main thing is that Shinomiya doesn't get on my nerves...

— It was a tough fight, it was close... We need to work on the defense.
Ruven regained his composure and waited to see what would happen next.
Will my health be restored, or do I need to eat more provisions?

Ruven also receives first aid and is taken off the field. The next two fighters are already preparing for the duel.
— Come and train daily until sunset, and with due diligence, you will achieve results in a short time. In addition, there is also the possibility of individual lessons in weapon handling. Of course, not for free, but I'll tell you about it later if you're interested. I assume you intend to go to the upcoming tournament in Divef, and as a fighter?

Well, weighing the flamethrower in his hands, Karlsson remembers that among his brothers, he was always considered the most stupid - Orm often deceived him for selfish reasons or just for fun, and the eldest, Ulf, looked down his nose and coldly uttered profound phrases, which were actually just something he had heard somewhere and repeated at the right moment, so that they would think of him as a "tadpole! he will be a king".
And yet, if they saw Krait now, they would be stunned and would be green with envy that it was he who was given the honor of advancing world technological progress, which nothing can stop.
Smiling at these thoughts, he announced:
- Long live Novuka! - and directed the flame at the nearest shack and the pig that was lying in front of it.

The pig takes 350 damage (death)
The pig barely has time to squeal before turning into a charred piece of meat. The flimsy wooden shack with a thatched roof ignites almost instantly, and a thick column of black smoke rises from the building. Krait can already hear someone from the peasants shouting about the start of the fire. A woman, about forty years old, with a bucket in her hands, suddenly appears from around the corner. For a moment, the peasant woman stands silently, looking alternately at the burning shack, Krait, the alchemist, and then back at the shack, and finally, having put everything together in her head, she drops her bucket and lets out a piercing squeal - like the pig just did, only five times louder.

DD, your Kotori is impressive. I respect that.

Why the sheep?

And why the pig?

Alright, let's do this. And I'll take them down.

Do you think you'll stick around until the very end, no matter what happens?

If the creature simply continues to attack me, then count it.

Naker's teeth tore at Unus's clothes and skin, ripping into his flesh, but unable to overcome the bone, the creature recoiled, only to bite again. Poison coursed through the paladin's veins, the poisoned blood burning in his veins, and his hands were no longer able to hold the mace. His mind clouded, and at some point, both Naker and the mace, and the pond, and even his own bitten body ceased to exist for Unus. But death, which had already been beckoning him, refused to accept the paladin – his mission on earth was not yet complete.

The effect of the poison ends
Unus uses a second chance.

The dead Naker lies on the shore of the pond, its head half-submerged in the water. It seems that after Unus was resurrected, it realized that this prey was too much for it, but it was too late.
Now, looking at the map, I realized that Kotori probably couldn't shoot through, but you would have finished it off anyway, considering the chance to hit the body.

Not enough for the next phase. But you can try to replenish, or take a walk in Knudos, just in case.

Ment, remind me, where do I need to skip you to?

Hey, remind me where I need to teleport to?

Alright, let’s go until the next weekend.

So, your Thor was resurrected after the battle with Jormungandr, huh? Take that, pagans.

Unus falls to his knees, raises his hands to the sky, and begins to recite a prayer.

- Heavenly Father! Almighty One! Good and merciful Lord! Accept the gratitude of Your servant for the strength in his hands! Accept the gratitude of Your servant for Your helping hand in a difficult moment of his life! Accept the gratitude of Your servant for sending a traveler from distant lands! Accept the gratitude of Your servant for saving his fragile body! Accept the gratitude of Your servant for the true path that saves his soul!

Having somewhat recovered from the battle shock, Unus realizes how badly he was hurt. He feels pain all over his body; it seems that the creature's teeth are still embedded in his flesh. But despite this, the paladin takes his hammer and cuts off the nakker's head (hopefully, that's the right term). Grabbing it by a tooth, Antinish approaches Shinomi and shows off the trophy.

- With the help of the Almighty and your skillful hands, we have defeated it!

“I was already starting to think that I was running out of arrows,” commented the tired archer, wiping sweat from her forehead, “but I must admit that I am surprised by your resilience, sir knight. The monster turned out to be incredibly huge and had such large fangs!”
Pointing with her gaze at the severed head, she spreads her arms wide, as if depicting the size of the Naker.
