Wizzo VS Granilith!

While keeping an eye on the Wizzo and Granilith, the Paru cautiously made its way down the tree, only to climb up to the top again seconds later.

'The Granilith is walking away. I suppose it was tipped off by the noise of our landing. Perhaps the Wizzo as well.'

The Paru took a deep breath in.

'Alright. The Wizzo isn't moving much. Let's start with the Granilith!'

Due to the difference in size, it was unlikely that these creatures would fall as easily as Airo or Ornidon did. After all, Wizzos are close to twice the size of Ornidon. 

Defeating them with the Paru's available weapons would be tough. 

Even using Invisibility coupled with Venomous Fangs and Infectious Cut would be jarring.

The Paru had quickly settled on an easier solution. A more efficient way.

'My strength Stat should be high enough to make this…' The Paru thought to itself as it contracted the muscles of its tentacle-like arm.

Around that arm was a random stone he had grabbed from the ground.

The Paru pulled its arm back, before throwing the stone and… Missing.

The Granilith stopped walking upon hearing noise in close proximity. 

'They really are humanoid. Their rocky skin looks incredibly tough. Their muscles aren't bad either. Yes…' A second stone was thrown. 'It will do nicely.'

The stone collided with the Granilith's shoulder, and it immediately turned around!

The Paru had, right after shooting, circled around the tree.

'I wonder if these tentacles are strong enough for me to hang from a branch… Or even throw myself towards a branch on a different tree…'

The Granilith kept staring in the general direction that would lead to the tree on which the Paru was, but it didn't move.

Whatever had hit its body could've been the product of the wind, or simply a small branch falling from the trees above.

A third stone was thrown.

But this time, it was aimed at the Wizzo!

KEEEROOO-

The sound emitted from the Wizzo upon being hit was completely different from before, sounding much closer to a growl or roar!

'According to Raya and Kris, these guys are territorial. They should be easy to provoke!'

And, indeed, they were.

Refusing to be intimidated by a random enemy's growl, the Granilith let out a growl of its own!

The two massive creatures lock eyes, and the Paru smiles internally.

'If I'm able to eat enough of these guys, I'll be able to fight on my own without relying on Invisibility… I'll still use it when I need though.'

Both creatures roar and growl while staring at one another. 

Neither turns away, and both refuse to show weakness.

The Wizzo is the first to step closer.

The Granilith's roars grow louder, but the Wizzo is undeterred.

'The ability to change their arms into blades… I definitely want to see that. Though it's more likely for it to change into some kind of long claw than an actual metallic blade. Still…' The Paru's excitement surges as the Granilith starts walking closer as well. 'It's a crazy ability that I need to see!'

The Paru watches silently as the two opponents step closer to one another, and, therefore, closer to the Paru.

'According to what they said, this fight is probably a toss-up. I'll need to change the odds. This is the Wizzos' territory…'

The Wizzo, being the first to have stepped forward, was closer to the Paru than the Granilith was. 

Taking advantage of that, the Paru waited for the Wizzo to get close enough, before opening his mouth!

The Wizzo roars at its enemy, the Granilith! 

Only a dozen steps separate them now!

It lowers its knees, preparing to launch itself forward, and-

A growl resonates as the Wizzo starts moving frantically.

Those movements agitate the Granilith, and it starts running as fast as it can towards its opponent!

As the Wizzo reaches for its own head, and a punch lands on the side of its head!

'This is… Perfect!'

The instant that the Paru felt like the Wizzo was about to do something, the Paru used its Spiderweb Production Skill to shoot a thick thread onto the Wizzo's face.

Just like the Paru had aimed, the thick thread landed on the Wizzo's wide-open eyes, ridding it of its vision!

The Granilith, not having noticed that, went on the offensive right away. Although, even if it had noticed, the Granilith wouldn't have cared one bit!

The Granilith's clenched fist, due to its rocky skin, hit hard and heavy. 

The Wizzo was immediately stunned, feeling as if a large rock had just collided with its skull.

The Granilith roars in its enemy's face as a show of dominance.

'Oh, just kill it already!'

With most of its field of vision obscured, the Wizzo moves back. Ridding itself of those webs would only take a moment. But the Granilith doesn't allow that!

An uppercut connected with the lower portion of the Wizzo's head. The next second, its head was grabbed and lowered. 

Lowered enough for the Granilith's sharp knee to hit and pierce the side of the Wizzo's neck.

'Its skin almost looks like it's covered by rocks. The knees and elbows are the only truly sharp and dangerous points. Only one knee and one elbow though… I suppose where or how numerous those sharp points are depends on the specimen.'

The Wizzo, accepting its temporary and partial blindness, uses both of its arms to push the Granilith away.

The two creatures roar as a wrestling match begins.

'This is…' The Paru's eyes burn with excitement as it activates its Invisibility Skill. 'Amazing!!'
