The Ulurugg charged at our hero who quickly rolled out of its path, it would have been useless to try and hide from it now that he was spotted. The hero drew his axe and stood up to face the creature. It towered over him, steam shooted out of its nostrils, its hot breath felt overbearing, as the hero was used to the cold air of the cave. The beast did its best to intimidate him, but our hero was unmoved.
The gargantuan monster raised a long arm and swung it at him, he dodged and swung at the monster. With surprising agility, it dodged and jumped towards the hero. The hero blocked its mighty fists with the halt of his axe. The two were locked in a stalemate, each pushing on the other, snarling and gritting their teeth. Our hero looking more animalistic as the fight went on. Our hero landed a successful slice at the Ulurugg, lodging his axe into its right arm. The creature, now in a fit of rage ripped a stalagmite out of the ground and used it as a club of sorts. The Ulurugg whacked our hero in his side, which sent him toppling to the floor.
Things were looking grim for him as the behemoth lumbered over to his body, clutching its right arm, it made a sound that was eerily close to a human laugh. Suddenly, he realized how close his axe had fallen to him, in a swift motion he reached for his axe and dug it straight into its leg., the big blade bit deep into the beast’s thigh. It let out a mighty roar, shaking the entire cavern, bits of rock were falling from the ceiling. The creature clutched it;s side as our hero pulled the axe out and swiftly cracked it right into the creature’s back.
At last, the Ulurugg was defeated, with a final ear splitting roar it exhaled its dying breath. The hero sliced the massive head off of the now cooling body to bring back for his reward. He exits the cave, carving as much useful materials from the corpse as he can carry beforehand. The sky was now growing dark, as he exited from the mouth of the cave and the first hints of the night sky were beginning to show. The long horned ants were chirping in the twilight and he could see the distant glow of the village he passed through in the morning in the distance. Holding the head of the recent kill under his arms he says out loud in an exhausted voice, “All in a day's work.”.
I am glad you figured out how long you wanted your fight scene to be. I enjoyed the way you were able to capture action in your story, too many times I find that some authors write off action as if there was seemingly nothing happening. (Now this makes me conscious of what I write to pass off as action…) Regardless, this was a good read of our hero’s little adventure. I wish we could know a bit more about him and what he is going to do with the Ulurugg’s head. (Maybe get ‘ahead’ in life?) On only one squick of criticism, you seem to forget your tenses at some points of the story. Sometimes you use “exits” instead of “exited.” Keep it tight, bruh.
