Cid - Demon Size + Strength

“The thigh bone’s connected to the hip bone, the hip bone’s connected to the backbone…”

There’s no way I’m gonna be able to completely reconstruct the skeleton, but even so, I’m able to fit a bunch of the parts back together.

The bones begin to tell a story—a story of teeth.

When I reassemble one shattered femur, I find a deep set of bite marks in it.

The teeth definitely weren’t human. Whatever bit these guys, it had a big-ass mouth and some pointy, pointy fangs.

“Was it a big dog? No, it’d have to be something even larger…”

We’re looking at something about as big as a lion.

They have that same black fur, and their red eyes look similar, too. In terms of how much mana they have, though, the creatures in Oriana have these guys beat by a country mile.

They’re kind of like a cross between a lion and a bear, and between that and the admittedly meager amount of mana they have, an average human would have a pretty tough time dealing with one of these.

Compared to me and Beta, though…

“…They’re so weak.”

“They really are,” Beta agrees.

She plants her foot atop the raging beast’s neck and stomps down, pulverizing its throat and ending its life.

Blood goes spraying everywhere, so I have to use the beasts I’ve grabbed as shields to block it.

“Oh, I’m sorry, my lord.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

I have one creature in each hand, and I smash them together to kill them.
