The Orinthian Warrior Book 1 Part 18

Dilo was getting tired of this. Already he’s fought so many ghastly beings that THIS THING was sure enough to fell him with a single blow. Now he had his sword raised against the literal snow god, knowing he’d die.

Then he saw the bottle. If he just managed to craft a boomerang and throw it towards the container… he had an idea. Then a massive avalanche occured. *just in time,* he thought. Sliding down it was a familiar rubble golem with the axe seperated into TWO parts. As soon as he got close enough, he double-whacked the monstrosity in the face and covered him under a pile of snow.

“HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!” The Megapithecus roared one last time… before he crumpled to the ground, motionless. “I GOT THE METAL!” Charcoal yelled. Then Dilo yanked the metal out of the golem’s hands and crafted a metallic boomerang.

He flung the boomerang towards the bottle, which, on impact, exploded into storm…
