Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3083

Andrew thrust out his chest and did not even strike back, taking the hit head-on.

With a thunderous boom, the giant's attack dissipated while Andrew remained completely unharmed.

Then, Andrew suddenly stepped forward twice and slammed his shoulder forward like a speeding tank in a brutal collision.

The giant was sent flying backward, tumbling across the ground continuously until he finally came to a stop about 300 feet away.

Dead silence fell over the scene. In front of the wooden hall, the sound of collective gasps filled the air as the giant struggled with a twisted expression, trying to get up. Yet, he ultimately just spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed unconscious on the ground.

The surrounding warriors slowly grew hostile again. They gripped their weapons tightly and stared at Andrew with angry gazes.

Knox said, "This is what Highland warriors are like. We never back down, and we never know fear. For our comrades, we would rather die than step back."

Andrew said coldly, "Then I will knock all of them down first, and then we can talk about hospitality."

A somewhat deep voice rang out at that moment. "Stand down, everyone. When friends come from afar, the Highland Tribe must treat them with courtesy. But if they're enemies rather than friends, then we won't fear them in the slightest either!"

Andrew and the others turned their heads, clearly surprised. The speaker's words were perfectly understandable; it was no longer the strange growling language of the Highland Tribe.

Surrounded by an entourage, a tall elderly man wearing ceremonial jewelry and carrying a staff emerged from the hall.

His cloudy eyes fixed on Andrew first. He said, "Stranger, we don't welcome visitors from the Wastelands here. And you're particularly complicated… You carry the Cathedral's holy light, a vampire's blood energy, the dark stench of werewolves, and even the mysterious power of the East, all at once. Just what are you exactly?"

Before Andrew could answer, Knox had already stepped forward and knelt, trembling. "Father, I've come home!"
