Chapter 39:Virtual Reality Fighting (2)
The battle remained at a stalemate for several minutes until a groan echoed from the fallen mace wielder. "Urghh," he grunted, clutching his head as he struggled to rise.
Realizing the fight would soon become a three-versus-one, Mikael made a risky decision. Abandoning defense, he concentrated all his efforts on taking down the spearman as quickly as possible.
Dodging a sword strike, Mikael closed in on the spearman. However, he couldn't fully evade the spear, which pierced his side, drawing blood. Mikael grunted in pain but didn't falter. Exploiting the opening, he decapitated the spearman with a precise slash, his blade finding the gap in the man's neck armor.
Thud
The spearman's body collapsed, and both the swordsman and the mace wielder froze in shock.
Mikael didn't give them time to recover. Capitalizing on their distraction, he slashed at the swordsman's right arm. Though the armor prevented the limb from being severed, Mikael's strike was deep enough to force the swordsman to drop his weapon in pain.
The mace wielder, enraged by the scene, charged at Mikael with a furious roar. Anticipating the attack, Mikael waited until the last moment before creating another aura thread, connecting it to the mace wielder's attacking arm.
Using the thread, Mikael redirected the mace's trajectory, causing it to slam into the swordsman's chest instead.
Clang
The force of the impact dented the swordsman's armor and sent him flying several meters before he collapsed, motionless.
Horrified, the mace wielder's rage boiled over. "I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna kill you!" he screamed, his attacks becoming wild and predictable. Mikael easily exploited this, tripping him and sending him tumbling to the ground.
