Life Insurance Salesman is a Dangerous Job

Fred, before the old Life Insurance Salesman had time to react, spun around, running at fool speed, with his large broadsword facing the same way as his extended arm, at the dastardly life-insurance salesman. The sword made impact; going through the old man's next, blood poured out, and the body was lifeless. Fred took out the sword from the man's neck, and turned to Artemis, walking towards her, smiling proudly.

"See, I can kill as well as you can!" Fred told her proudly, and she grinned too. However, soon, her smile faded, and she screamed to Fred, "Look out!". The old man was charging towards them, and sprang of the ground, one leg flying for a kick- Fred dodged out the way, but it was too late for Artemis; the foot impacted with her face, knocking her to the ground so powerfully that it could have crushed her skull.

When Artemis went flying towards the ground, her sword fell out of her hand. As the old man leant over to pick it up, he told them; "Of course, a good life insurance salesman has good life insurance. I have sixteen lives." He began to laugh, furiously, as Artemis screamed in terror, "No, please, I-", it was never known what she was about to say, as before she could finish the sentence, the life insurance salesman had lopped off her head.

Fred, who was a few metres away now, due to his considerable dodging skill, screamed, "NOOO! I told her not to come with me! I will avenge her!" He roared, ever defiantly. Again, he charged, sword drawn, but this time in a defensive position. As he got close, the salesman swung, but it only clinked against Fred's sword. With the salesman caught off guard, Fred drove a large knee into the salesman's stomach. "OOF!" he growled.

Fred knew there was no time to waste. He whacked the the flat of the sword against the salesman's back, who crumbled to the floor. "So you have fifteen right now, yes? Guess I'll just have to kill you fifteen times!" Fred roared in anger and in victory, holding the sword downwards over the salesman's body. He kept driving the blade back and forth over him, ten times, but before Fred could deliver the eleventh blow, the salesman told him:

"I got the special plan, Fred. When I only have five times left, I grow to my SECOND FORM!" The Salesman warned, and then laughed maniacally. His shape was changing, he was becoming...

1. ...THE DRAGON!
2. ...AN INCREDIBLY POWERFUL WIZARD!
3. ...A SHADOW! Immortal to blows, yet able to kill with magic.
4. ...A GIANT!
