53 chapter 53

The two ate some rabbit stew after setting up camp and went right to sleep after a hard day of traveling.

Rin and Lin decided to head south along the eastern Lowrado border, with the intimating mountain ranges to their left and forest to the down to their feet. They traveled for what seemed to be a

few days. The days and nights were starting to blur together after the already long journey.

#

There was few hunters out in the far east hunting The hunter would try to keep his hunting varied over a wide as an area as possible, that the local ecosystems would not be damaged due to over hunting. All the hunters in the land of Lowrado had to keep a log that the local mayor could look at a moment's notice. Some hunters kept two sets of books: one that was within the allowed hunting limit and the second how much they really was hunting.

The hunters often looked over the duo to see if they were bandits, but most of them gave Lin and Rin little trouble, since the twins were still so innocent looking. They did not look or act like the typical stereotype of a bandit: rough and always into trouble.

Rin spoke,"I do not know about you Sis, but I would like to sleep indoors tonight. We are within

less than one hundred miles from our destination. Let us go seen if there is someone who will put us up for the night. We are still way under budget for our travel funds!"

Lin smiled and spoke,"That sounds like a plan, bro! We can get some supplies in the morning after we had a good night's rest. If we are lucky, they might give us some leftovers from supper.

The two walked west trough the woods when they see a simple wooden home with smoke coming out of the chimney.

Lin spoke,"The place has a large barn, they might us stay up in the loft. Also, It could not be any worse than staying out in the woods another night.

The twins were both walking towards the front door when the front door opens up, revealing a

ginormous man. The man had to lean forward to get through the door and he stood up to just over

ten foot tall. The twins were both awestruck at seeing such a large come out of the humble house.

Lin thought,"This guy has to weigh at least a half a ton if not more!"

The giant spoke with a loud bass voice,"Who are you two little ones and how can I help you?"

Lin gave the giant an evil look as she spoke,"My name is Lin and is my brother Rin. We are hoping that you will give us a place to sleep tonight. We got..."

The large man laughed at Lin's words and said,"I am afraid that I can not do that, little Missy!"

Lin yelled,"Why is that, you overgrown punk!"

Rin tried to calm his sister down but it was not successfully.

The giant spoke,"Little lady, I mean you no disrespect but I detect some high-caliber Ki oozing off of you two. You can give me some fun roughhousing and after that I will give you room and board for free tonight! Rin, I would live to have a little fun with you and try out my power. no weapons are needed, since this is not a battle to death and just a little exhibition. "

Lin spoke,"You do not have to do this! Brother, do not given to the barbarian's demands."

Rin spoke,"I will give him a go on it like of which he has never seen before!"

The giant spoke,"Is that so, then let us go out in the woods and see who will be the one to prevail."

#

The trio go out into the woods, so that the nearby house would not be a causality in the battle.

The two males prepare to battle each other.

The giant spoke,"There is no need to fight until one is hurt! We will fight until one declares that the other is the best. Only then, the battle will end!"

The giant prepared himself for the battle by flexing his huge muscles. The battle would not be a serious one but just a showing of strength. at least that was what Rin had hope that it was the fight would come to. the twins did not know if this man was friend or foe at this point, so caution had to be kept at all times.

Rin tried to keep his cool and unhooked his bladed weapons from off his body and gently down to the ground.

He charged directly at the giant but there was no one there!

Rin looked above in horror to see that his foe was up in the air, preparing to land an elbow drop on him. The swordsman knows that the giant was right on top of him and he would not be able to escape!

The giant smacked Rin and knocked chest deep into the grassy ground.

Luckily, Rin had the foresight to leave the large shield on his back. He had pulled it over his head in the attempt to block the blow.

Lin's jaw had dropped to the ground out of the giant being so strong. Even Bines, had never used such raw strength against the twins before. This man was stronger than anyone that ever met before throughout their lives.

Rin could not get out of the ground, so he decided to dig deep into the ground.

The giant lands back on the ground, but finds it too shaky to his standards, since Rin had left a huge crevice in the ground as he dug.

The giant was completely in awe in how Rin took to digging to the ground.

The giant yelled,"The wee man is a mole!"

There formed a straight lined hole in the ground, that went in between the mighty man's legs.

The giant stomped at the ground in the attempt to stop the subterranean assault.

But this was all for naught as the giant's legs were cut repeatedly.

The mighty man leans over and punches a giant hole into the ground to lure out Rin.

The tactic had worked as intended, since Rin had jumped in front of the giant's head.

The swordsman throws hundreds of rocks at the giant to get him distracted for some sort of attack.

None of the rocks land at their designated target.

The giant had performed a Ki shout at the rocks, which leaves nothing but dust behind.

Rin was hit by the shout as well and was knocked to the ground. The swordsman had flown through a thick tree on the way down to the ground.

Rin had recovered quickly and pulled out a spiked ball and chain to divert a lot of damage away from himself by wrapping it around a nearby tree. Getting slammed through the tree had knocked the wind out of him.

Rin performs a dropkick to the giant, but the giant counters with a drop kick of his own. Rin got kicked cleanly into his chest, which caused blood to gush out of the swordsman's mouth.
