#82 The Mauler of Mayhem by Eternal-Shadow-S on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

A barbarian warrior who once led a group of vicious raiders. He and his men roamed throughout the lands, attacking villages and settlements, plundering whatever goods it could offer. Eventually, he and his men would raid a small castle. Although successful, they would earn the ire of a terrible lord who hunted them down. His men were ambushed, but put on a bitter and vicious fight. Despite his defeat, the barbarian had slain many great knights and warriors, which would impress the lord. The barbarian was offered a chance to serve him, which the barbarian readily accepted. Donning his own set of armor and a pair of maces, the barbarian would lay waste to whomever his lord commanded him to. The barbarian laid waste to lesser kingdoms, destroying their fortifications and bringing down their knights. In time, lesser kingdoms would submit to the barbarian, without even putting much of a fight. Then came a day, when he faced the champion of a lesser kingdom. A bandit and former acquaintance of his challenged him to a single duel. Accepting without hesitation, they engaged in a ferocious battle of strength and ferocity. At first, both seemed almost equal. It was until the bandit transformed into some vile beast that tore the barbarian to pieces.
