"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! IM GOING TO SKIN YOU ALIVE!!!!!" The enraged Bearserker Hertz shouted at me as he kept swiping his claws at me over and over again while I kept dodging, however just barely at that.
While my stats were ultimately broken thanks to helping Hephaestus and taking away the void curse that has been with her for eons and my stats had gone high enough thanks to the battle with Sköll, however it seems his stats were increasing the more enraged he was getting.

I could in fact already level up again due to the battle with Sköll with these stats alone but I was more wanting to at least get all my stats up to A rank, also it was a supreme shock to Orario that I reached Lvl. 2 in only 2 weeks, it would be insane for everyone if I became Lvl. 3 in only a months time.
So I was going to take my time leveling up again, maybe waiting until my body felt like it can't take on anymore Falna then I'll level up again, but who knows?
However while this fight was going on Hertz was getting even more ferocious with his attacks that were getting faster and faster while his now bear claws were cutting through the bricks in the streets and on any unfortunate building that was decimated by every attack I dodged.
*Woosh*
I teleported behind him and tried to stab him through the neck only for his thick hide to barely give leaving only a minor wound that was more like a paper cut rather than a katana trying to insert into his neck.
"ROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!" He angrily swiped at me but I bullet jumped out of the way before wall latching and putting my Sun and Moon away.
"I didn't want to pull this out if I didn't have to, but your not leaving me much choice!" I couldn't help but shout out before reaching behind me as my Boltor materialized in my hands, luckily the option to hide my weapons from view is still available to Warframes.
*Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!*
You could only hear the sounds of the bolts going through the air as I had the 'Hush' Mod on my gun making my shots near dead silent.
He reacted fast enough and covered his body with his large arms but the bolts hit true and buried themselves right into his flesh.
*ROOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!*
It was both a roar of Anger and pain from being shot at, but his anger only made him begin to get larger at that along with more feral as he looked less like a Werebear and more like just a Bear now as he got down on all fours.
"Haven't you already made yourself enough of an embarrassment?" Suddenly a deep voice cut through our battle making both me and Hertz turn in the direction of the voice.
A tall man with swept back red hair, brown eyes, some chin hair along with a few scars on his face, he was wearing a full set of black plate armor and a red cape hanging over his shoulders, all while he was dragging another adventurer with him, who surprisingly was the red haired Renard.
"Renard, you go running to get help from your older brother or something?" I couldn't help but ask as Renard and this other guy looked eerily similar to each other.
Hearing that the man looked at Renard in his hand before tossing him to the side, "It makes me sick to think that this rookie looks like me and has the gall to try using our Familia's name to get away with whatever they so desire." He says but I just chuckle before double jumping onto the rooftop of the building I was latched onto.
"Huh, well ain't that just the pot calling the Kettle black, don't give me that hypocritical bullshit, your family has always known what your lower rank members do but you don't even remotely try to put your foot down and stop them and just let them get away with whatever you want." I say as I let my Boltor rest on my shoulder while I look down on both of them.
Zald had a pensive look on his face while he thought to the past.
*Flashback*
"Maxim! Why the hell do we let our lower ranks keep getting away with this?!?!" Zald yelled out at his Familia's leader who was standing upon the ramparts of the walls surrounding Orario.
"Zald…. When you here the name Zeus or Hera, what is the first thing that comes to mind?" Maxim instead responded with a question.
(A/N: I for some reason imagine Maxim sounding just like Antonio Banderas)
Zald paused when he heard this and thought Maxim was just dodging the subject but he could see the serious look on his face.
"Power…. When I hear those names I think of power." Zald said to which Maxim nodded while looking back to the open fields outside of Orario where all the wheat and grains were being grown at.
"Power, Might, Domination, all these words represent our Familia's in full force and our Familia's have nearly been ruling for over a thousand years, but to do that sometimes fear is required to show that beneath us that barely have the strength to fight back." He said with a sense of certainty in his voice.
"It will not hurt our Familia's pride if others want to weed out the chaff, any of those not born from within the Familia and were brought in from the outside can use our name to get what they want, however if they are caught by those that can teach them a lesson then let them do so." He says before turning back to Zald.
"However you have my full authority to meet out the justice when you see fit, but don't let it take you away from your true pursuit of strength and mastering the blade just to become a hero of Justice for the weak and powerless." He said before turning and walking away as his long dark grey hair fluttered in the wind.
"We need you at your strongest for what we will finally accomplish, completing the Great Feats."
*Flashback End*
"KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILL!!!!!!" Though while Zald was lost in his thoughts Hertz couldn't hold back his madness and leapt into the air with immense strength, cratering the road beneath his feet.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
*Shwing*
Suddenly as I began to take aim Zald moved so fast it was as if he had teleported and his Greatsword moved was already drawn in his hand finishing a downward motion.
The area went dead silent as I slowly watched Hertz's head separated from his neck in one clean attack where as I couldn't even deeply cut into his skin.
Then as if time began to move Hertz's body collapsed back to the ground with his bear head rolling across the ground while not a drop of blood got on Zald's blade before he holstered it on his back once more.
He looked up at me before turning around and walking away not caring about Hertz's body at all.
I just shake my head, "What a bunch of hypocrites, only do something when one is doing too much." I mutter before jumping off the building and putting my Boltor away.
But the fight is over and it was in my and the Loki Familia's victory, so it's time to celebrate back at the bar!
