ALL NOVEL Chapter 670: Flamboyant
(Dumpy's POV)
Dumpy had not yet mastered the art of throwing daggers, which meant he couldn't discreetly eliminate unsuspecting opponents like his Lord Father or Grandfather could.
Hence, when he saw Leo and Ben taking out enemies from a distance with such precision, he was filled with admiration towards them.
The sight of them fighting side by side made his blood boil with excitement, fueling his desire to one day achieve their level of skill.
"Let's go–" Leo signaled, as Dumpy became the first to sprint into action.
Having no role in taking out the perimeter guards, he felt restless to jump into battle, and hence, as soon as Leo gave the signal, he became the first to jump into battle, whistling past both Ben and Leo to enter the village.
"Puny humans, face my wrath–" he muttered under his breath, as he leapt over the 18 foot high spiked wooden wall with ease and landed straight inside the village perimeter.
*THUD*
Hitting the ground with a thunderous impact, Dumpy immediately became the center of attention of all the surrounding soldiers, as his massive amphibian form towered over the startled guards.
"Wha–" one guard said, but before he could even complete his sentence, Dumpy's dual blades gleaned wickedly, as without a shred of hesitation, he surged forward as a blur of speed and power.
The first guard didn't even have time to cry out, before Dumpy's blade slashed through him in a single stroke, the force of the impact being so overwhelming that it sent the sliced bodily halves onto the nearby walls and broke the bones within it later.

The dead man's eyes became wide with horror as he died one of the most brutal in-game deaths that he had ever experienced, his avatar crumpling lifelessly on the ground.
However, Dumpy did not stop there.
Pivoting with the momentum, Dumpy hurled himself at the next cluster of four guards who never even had the chance to catch his silhouette before he slaughtered them all.
"Ribbit! DIE PUNY HUMANS" Dumpy said, enjoying the carnage now, as he moved towards the next nearest group of 7 soldiers that was in his line of sight.
Unfortunately for them, 6 men in this group died before they could even notice who exactly the enemy was and the 7th who seemed to be their leader only lasted a total of 5 seconds at best.
Being a paladin by class, he managed to desperately raise his shield in an attempt to block the oncoming assault, but Dumpy's sheer strength shattered his defense like brittle glass.
With just a single blow, Dumpy blew apart his defenses with ease and managed to follow it up immediately with a strike from his second blade, cleaving through the man's torso, as the seventh player also lost his life in a flash.
"This is more like it…." Dumpy said, as he jumped towards the next group standing at the center of the village square, not even taking a moment to breathe as he did so.
Leaping high into the air, Dumpy landed in the center of this next group of guards, who were startled by his sudden arrival.
*Thud*
As he landed in the middle of them all, his massive frame caused the ground to tremble, knocking a few off their feet.
Then, as he spun his dual blades in a deadly arc, he managed to catch three soldiers at once, their blood spraying across the cobblestone streets, mixing with the flour on the floor as he decapitated them all at once.
"Enemy!" A fourth managed to shout, however, those were the last words out of his mouth, as Dumpy quickly killed him and a couple others with him as well, to wipe out a majority of the group.
The guards' who remained alive now, had their faces turn pale with terror as they realized what they were up against.
"M-m-monster!" One of them said, trying to run away, as he broke formation and ran, however, unfortunately for him, Dumpy proved to be faster.
Bounding over him in a single leap, Dumpy landed behind the man and delivered a precise strike to the back of his neck, causing the guard to fall forward like a puppet with his strings cut.
Watching all this carnage unfold, another group of defenders attempted to regroup near a storage shed which would make it impossible for Dumpy to enter in his 12 foot tall form since the entry door was only 6 feet tall, however, Dumpy did not give them that chance.
Charging with a roar, he smashed through the flimsy wooden structure, scattering debris and bodies alike, as his dual blades moved like extensions of his will, cutting down anyone in his path.
"W-what is that thing?!" one soldier stammered as he backed away, trembling, however, Dumpy only turned toward him, with a cold look in his eyes, as without a word, he lunged forward, his blade slicing cleanly through the man's midsection, as he sent him to the afterlife.
The soldier's weapon clattered to the ground as he collapsed, his expression frozen in disbelief, as Dumpy single-handedly wiped off nearly 12 remaining soldiers within the shed, to bring his kill count to 30 within just two minutes of entering the village.
The village square eerily silent now, looked like a scene straight from a horror movie, as apart from one massive frog with bloodstained swords in his hands, there were no alive humans to be found.
Save for the soft rustle of the wind and the faint drip of blood pooling in the streets, there was no other sound to be heard either, as Dumpy stood proud amidst the carnage, his chest heaving as he surveyed his handiwork.
He thought he had done a good job so far, however, while he killed 30 soldiers at best, both Leo and Ben killed over a 100 each, as although Dumpy moved forward with gusto, the two of them had years of experience behind them.
Making the most of their daggers and long distance reach, Ben and Leo took out entire groups of soldiers from range without ever having to engage against them, as while Dumpy flamboyantly killed a few, the two silently killed three times as many men, with much less effort.
