“I guess that was a mating call... I lie! Something wants to eat us!” shouted Chack who had a thick fur armor covering his entire body to keep him warm.
“Not while I am here!” shouted Zundar.
“Burkin take your guards and go to the cave behind us. You should wait there until we can take care of this problem. We might end up clearing the dungeon so don''t worry if we take a long time to return,” said Akira.
“Be sure to bring back some good stuff from the dungeon if it has anything. I''ll be sure to buy it at a fair price!” said Burkin as he walked to the cave with his guards.
“We will also go with the dwarf,” said Nollan as he pulled his granddaughter towards the cave.
“But I want to go help,” said Yuki, giving her grandfather a firm look full of cold determination.
“Hey don''t look at me like that! I can''t let you do something like that. If my daughter heard that I let you do something dangerous and you got hurt... Not going to happen!” said Nollan as he pulled Yuki with him followed by the rest of their party who would not be fighting.
“Let''s not be sloppy since there is bound to be a large number of monsters coming out of the dungeon. We don''t have a lot of time to waste before the warm month''s end and have to go back. Let''s head out!” Akira said to the remaining companions and guards around him.
“Understood!” shouted all of his personal guards.
“With me by your side there is no need to worry!” shouted Zundar.
They all ran towards the constant roars that rang out as if trying to challenge anyone to a fight. Akira turned to the small Fluffball who was running next to him.
“Make sure that you stay close to me and fight like we trained,” said Akira.
“Yap!” shouted Fluffball as he ran through the soft snow.
Klyn was following right behind Akira busy with chanting off several buffs for the entire group, starting with Akira first.
“I have a bad feeling about today!” said Akira as he ran.
Ding!

“I have located the monsters!” Shouted Bo as he caught back up to the group. His raven companion swooped down and landed on his shoulder before letting out a caw.
“Where?”
“South East of here there is a large clearing with a small hill made of ice at the center. But there seems to be something wrong. I only saw three monsters and each of them were holding a large weapon.”
“That''s even better for us if we don''t have to fight several waves of monsters,” shouted Akira as they headed east.
Several minutes of running passed before they exited the snowy pine trees and entered a flat snowy plain with only an ice hill in the middle.
As Bo said there were only three monsters rampaging around the ice hill searching their surroundings for something while roaring.
Akira focused on them to see what they were up against. [Brown hammer polar bear lvl 79] [Brown hammer polar bear lvl 82] [White hammer polar bear lvl 90].
“Why did such strong monsters escape the dungeon?” asked Akira as he looked at the large polar bears who were standing on two feet carrying around large hammers.
“My blood is boiling for a good fight! They even use hammers like me! Lord, please let me take on that white furry guy in the middle,” said Zundar, giving Akira a pleading look that did not suit such a fierce-looking barbarian like him.
Akira waved his hand to stop him from looking at him like that, “Sure knock yourself out. Dolph, Vilkas you take the others and fight the one on the left I will take the one on the right!”
“But...”
“No need to worry. I''ll have my companions and Klyn to help me. You have your orders! Now let''s go take care of them!” said Akira using the [Shout] skill to raise everyone''s morale.
They split up and charged towards their target. The guards and soldiers led by Dolph and Vilkas were all in a good formation using the shield charge they had trained in for many months.
Both Akira and Chack took up the front position with their shields ready while Varbu and the girls followed behind them.
Zundar who was alone just charged forward in a berserk fashion gleefully plowing through the snow to recklessly ram into the [White hammer polar bear].
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
When Maya and the other ranged werewolves were in range, they started to shoot at the two [Brown hammer polar bears] angering them and pulling them away from Zundar''s fight with the large [White hammer polar bear].
Roar!
The [Brown hammer polar bear] on the right that had received several arrows from Maya started to charge towards Akira and his companions. The bear''s killing intent was all focused on Maya.
“Hey you ^&%$ don''t look at girls like that or I''ll have to do ^*&= to you!” shouted Akira using the [Potty mouth] skill.
“Roar!” The confused [Brown hammer polar bear] angrily shouted at Akira as he decided to first kill the very annoying person who had just said something rude to him.
“[Shield Slam]!” Akira hurtled forward to meet the charging [Brown hammer polar bear].
Before they could clash the [Brown hammer polar bear] stopped and swung his large hammer at Akira who was unable to dodge due to the skill shooting him forward in a straight line.
Boom! The hammer impacted on the center of his new shield with great force and stopped Akira in his tracks and... Even sent him flying backward crashing into the snow.

“Roar!” the [Brown hammer polar bear] let out a taunting roar at Akira who had been knocked back and received several arrows to his body for his troubles.
The [Brown hammer polar bear] ignored the arrows and charged forward towards Akira who was just getting up.
“[Harden]!” Akira braced himself and used the first skill that came to mind as the [Brown hammer polar bear] slammed it''s hammer into his shield again.
But this time when the hammer slammed into his shield he stood firm not moving an inch.

The hammer bounced back from the impact and pulled the [Brown hammer polar bears] body around, making him stumble and reveal his back to Akira and his companions who had caught up with him.
Fwoosh! A small fireball flew forward and struck the [Brown hammer polar bear] on the back where it burned for a few seconds before dying out. The fireball attack was followed by arrows from Maya and spears thrown by Chack.
Fluffball stood next to Akira and let out an ice breath that covered the legs of the [Brown hammer polar bear].
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Akira glanced over towards the explosive attacks and saw that Zundar and the [White hammer polar bear] were sending huge clouds of snow up into the air as they attacked each other.
Their fight was nothing more than brute force vs brute force. The two of them were so focused on each other and were heading away from the main group towards the woods as they traded heavy blows.
“ROAR!” the [Brown hammer polar bear] recovered from its failed attack and was now even more enraged at its back getting singed.
As it slowly turned around Akira could see yellow flames coming out of its eyes diagonally, making it look even more fierce.
“I''ll keep him in place, Varbu and Mileena use the opportunity to attack from the side or rear again. Chack guard Maya!” said Akira as he activated [Shield slam] once again.
With the short distance between them and its movements dulled by the frost, Akira was able to land a solid hit forcing the [Brown hammer polar bear] to stumble backward after receiving large damage from the impact.
Akira used [Shadow chains] as soon as he recovered from the charge, locking the [Brown hammer polar bear] in an awkward sideways bent position.
Blink! Mileena used her skill to appear right behind the trapped [Brown hammer polar bear] and dealt several blows to its neck before jumping back to catch her breath and escape any counter-attack.
Varbu followed up her attack with his own skill [Spin to win] becoming a flaming whirlwind as he spun towards the exposed side of the bear.
Thud! The skill and Varbu were stopped in his tracks as his burning battleax bit deep into the [Brown hammer polar bear] the area around it all burnt black.
“Ah! My skill stopped! I wanted to keep on hitting him with my ax,” shouted a disappointed Varbu as he pried his battleax from the [Brown hammer polar bear].
“Looks like you can only keep spinning if it''s against smaller or less armored monsters,” said Akira as he launched a shield bash to the [Brown hammer polar bears] head that was now close to Akira due to the awkward position it was in.
Crack! The sound of something breaking could be heard and the [Brown hammer polar bear] let out a weak gargled roar of anger as it struggled to free itself.
“Yap!” Fluffball used another Ice breath to cover the [Brown hammer polar bear] arms making them stiff and unable to use its full power. Mileena again aimed several attacks at its vitals from behind dealing heavy damage.
The [Brown hammer polar bear] was able to escape from the chains but he was far more ragged than when he had entered them.
“Stand back, I''ll finish this with one attack!” shouted Akira as he activated the [Cross attack] skill.
The blue X flew towards the [Brown hammer polar bear] and slammed into its body biting deep but not killing it as it still stood now bleeding deeply from the large X.
“You''re sturdier than I thought, here have another!” said Akira.
As the second blue X slammed into its body it cut the rest of the way through severing its body into four parts.

“Hah... that was hard but easier than expected,” said Klyn who had been focusing on buffing everyone and making sure that If Akira was wounded he could use his healing chant.
Akira looked towards Dolph and Vilkas and saw they were just finishing their fight with the bear as Vilkas sent a spear through its head. With all the spears and javelins sticking out of its entire body it looked like a giant furry porcupine.
Zundar was nowhere to be seen but the booming sounds from his fight had already stopped so Akira hoped that meant that he had finished his own fight.
“Looks like the fight''s finished, let''s rest for a bit and wait for Zundar to return before heading into the dungeon,” said Akira as his stomach let out a grumbling uncomfortable feeling.
Ding!

Bo who had been focused on watching the surroundings from the air came out of his trance and rushed over to Akira. “Lord bad news I just saw...”
“Oh look! Another party has already come to challenge the Dungeon as well.”
