Komodo rushed at it again, jumping into the air and slashing down on it. But it was fast and went from behind and stabbed Komodo in the back with its fingers.
Blood poured from Komodo.
"Shit," Komodo said in distress, "I didn't wanna use this move. I'm not sure if I should? What if there is a stronger person in the forest?"
The fly got on the ground and attacked Komodo. They were trading blows and keeping up with each other. Komodo was being pushed to his limits and the fly kept adapting.
"I guess I got no choice!" Komodo said, "Nevooa! Distract this guy for a moment."
Komodo landed a blow that pushed the fly backward. And Nevooa went in front.
Nevooa was scared. This was his first battle against someone in this new world. And to top it off his first opponent might be equal to Komodo.
But Nevooa could react and if he could react he could fight.
The fly came towards him, Nevooa's sword set on fire. The fly stopped and gazed at it.
This was the first time the fly has seen fire. He was interested in it.
Nevooa stood there waiting for something to happen.
"AAARRRRRHHHH!" Komodo yelled out in pain.
At that moment blood spilt from his back and tentacles came out. The tentacles were made from the same material as his spine. There were three on each side and he could control them each individually. At the end of each one was a sharp tailbone meant for piercing.
Komodo rushed at the fly and Nevooa got out of the way. They got into a one verses one, each going blow for blow. Komodo swung his halberd straight into its chest launching it far into a tree.
The fly started to move uncontrollably, it was spasming out.
"What the hell?" Komodo said.
The fly said random words and noises. But then it stopped and its eyes widened.
The fly went towards Komodo leaving a burst of wind behind it. Komodo tried to stab it with his tentacles but missed.
They started fighting and midrange, Komodo was trying to use his abilities at its full potential. The fly was easily dodging Komodo's attacks. And was hitting Komodo with ease.
Komodo's chest was bloody after taking too much hits.
"This guy," Komodo said to himself, "He's fighting differently than before."
Before the fly spasmed it was just throwing random blows, but now each attack was targeted. It was like something else was controlling it.
Komodo realized this and started to play more defensively. He was starting to only block attacks with his tentacles and attack with his halberd.
But then the fly grabbed one of Komodo's tentacles and pulled it towards him. Then it stabbed Komodo right through the stomach.
Komodo threw up blood.
"You idiot!" Komodo said.
At that moment Komodo grabbed the fly's other arm and then stabbed it in the back with his other tentacles.
The fly let go of him and then Komodo sliced its head off.
Komodo sat on the ground. He was tired out and was covered in blood. The tentacles retracted and went back into Komodo's back.
"Holy shit," Komodo said while heavily breathing, "That fly wasn't a fly."
"What?" Nevooa said.
"There was something controlling it, probably the one who controls this whole forest. And whoever controls this forest has good fighting experience." Komodo said.
"You two have impressed me." A strange voice said from atop a tree.
"Who are you" Komodo said.
"Me?" the voice said, "I am the one that controls this whole forest. Every animal, every bug, and every plant."
"So will you let us go free?" Nevooa said.
"No, you are intruders. So you must die." the voice said.
Something fell down from the trees slowly. It was the voice and it was a person.
The person was a woman covered in plants, vines, and some torn clothes. She looked around in her mid twenties. Her hair was black that faded to a dark purple. Her face was a pale white but was also dirty. And her eyes were black and menacing. She had under eyebags that were barely noticeable but were really black.
"Why are we prisoners to you." Komodo said.
