Path of the Cataclysm

"He tore through the army without a break of sweat, his axe cleaved men in half as if they were paper, his wounds showed signs of death to a normal man. He was not normal, he was a demon that ripped off a horses head with one arm, while drinking its blood, he was pierced by 6 spears and made them look as if they were mere toothpicks. He used the horse head as a club, smashing the skulls of any who were too close open. After 20 minutes of fighting the army of 210 soldiers, only 89 were left before they retreated, he stood on the bodies of the dismembered and unrecognizable, then he started to break a sweat."

 

-Accounts of Legendary Warriors, Ch 30, Pg 3.
