Another Stupid Isekai

The next stop on our journey through the second-tier hunting grounds was the lizardfolk village in the swamps.

Since people were barely standing on their feet I moved them via shadow walking, and then began clearing the path to the boss on my own. We came to the conclusion that they all were already out for today, and it was better if I were to fight than for them to get unnecessarily injured. You might be wondering why did just didn't give up, and that was because some of us, mainly Tihana John and I, wanted everybody to see the boss, so they could understand how strong they needed to be to even approach the place.

The fact that there was no boss room, and instead the hemomancer was laying in the open, on the pedestal in the very middle of a shallow pit, with stone plates covering the ground, and surrounded with pillars reaching ten meters high, covered in the fake runes.

I didn't know if you remember, so I'm gonna remind you how she looked. She had deeply green, long hair, and was completely naken if not count the golden jewelry, a lot of it. She watched me carefully. there was something magnetic in her gaze, and I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

Some of the guys glared at the naked goddess with open mouths, stunned by her exotic beauty.

As I came closer, she picked herself up. Then, from those large bracelets, covering both of her forearms almost completely, she pulled out two knives in one fluid motion. There was a lot of grace in her moves like she was performing some kind of ceremony.

I was quite familiar with what she looked like, but for the people who saw her for the first time, it was quite a view, especially when she stood on her feet, giving them all a perfect opportunity to notice every detail of her body. The hourglass figure with wide hips, and especially the dark green nipples adorning her ripe breasts.

- Stop starring you horny dumbass! - he heard from the side.

The voice belonged to Tihana, so I looked to find out who she was talking to. It was John, and my jaw almost dropped to the floor. Why? Because it sounded like she was jealous.

"I and you are going to have a long conversation", I promised myself, then focused once again on the boss.

She cut her forearms open, letting the blood flow out of her veins, then drop almost to the ground. Before the red drops were able to reach it, though, they began shooting up and crystallizing. They soon created this swarm of tiny shards around her slowly bouncing up and down in the air, like they were impatient to attack me.

It happened a second later, but I held them in place before the attack reached me with 'Telekinesis' Then I leaped forward, dropping straight at my enemy, who squeezed even more bold out of her veins to protect herself with a crystalized barrel.

I guess my anger got the best of me because I went overboard with that hit. To put more power into it, I made a plate of void essence to give my feet a base to produce even more power to push my fist.

The effect was... strong. As if a bomb exploded, rising a cloud of dust, erupted from the ground, accompanied by a loud noise. The ground shook slightly, making a few lose their footing. I noticed that when I emerged from the dust, holding a crystal in my hand, because a couple of hunters were on the ground, picking themselves up.

I threw the gemstone to John,  who caught it at the last moment.

- Let's go hunt some bears - I said, glaring at him.

I guess my eyes were enough for him to know he was in trouble since his face suddenly became quite pale. It was just a brief moment because I didn't want Tihana to notice, so I quite quickly looked away, then gestured to the people together, so we could move to the next place.

I bet they noticed I was slightly pissed, as we walked through the woods because any bear that tried to attack me got blasted in the head. Others also contributed a bit to hunting this time, since they caught a breather in the lizardfolk village.

With me being the spearhead of the expedition, we cut through the ranks of furious animals with ease, eventually reaching the boss room. When I approached the door, I could hear the hushed voices behind me of people discussing what they might see on the other side.

I pushed the door, revealing to them a giant, oval space, quite bright because of white light coming from the ceiling, very high up. In the middle was a simple throne, made out of stone, with rather a small, light brown bear sleeping on it.

- It's so cute - Tihana said, and some people even agreed with her.

I rolled my eyes, knowing the real appearance of the creature. To make them witness it too, I stepped into the room.

The animal woke up, cutely wiping his face with a paw before getting up, just to jump down. A few 'aaawww' reached my ears, triggering them even more. I couldn't wait for them to change their minds about the bear.

When the bones began to crack, and pop out of the sockets, as the animal bulked up, growing and growing in volume, all the irritating noises made by the hunters behind me were cut short. I even glanced behind and saw a few jaws being dropped, as they observed the form of the beast getting darker, when it grew in size, eventually stretching out to its full monstrous size. To become this five meters tall, humanoid-looking cluster of muscle with a bear head.

- Awww it's so cute - I mocked them, which ended me a furious glare from Tihana.

Then I rolled my eyes, perfectly imitating what she always was doing.
