Chapter 59: Death versus Death
Snow exploded outward in every direction, revealing the blackened ground shattered beneath the Death Knight’s relentless charge.
Faster than a heartbeat, the abomination had reached the Blood Knotted, with a black sword already slashing through the air.
The Blood Knotted staggered for a brief moment. Even its Reaver Danger Level couldn’t keep up with the movements of the being that should have ranked beneath it in the hierarchy.
In the next instant, the towering monster’s lower left arm collapsed softly onto the snow, blood staining the ground beneath it.
With a roar, the Blood Knotted lashed out with its other three limbs.
Unfazed, the Death Knight raised its sword and tilted it sideways. The ground beneath them cracked as the blade met two powerful fists. Simultaneously, the knight’s free right arm intercepted the Blood Knotted’s third punch.
A shockwave passed over the area; Azrael was swept off his feet, and the tree that he had been using to hide behind broke into chunks.
The Blood Knotted a monster five times bigger than the average male, a being of Reaver Danger Level. Had lost in a contest of raw power.
Its hand shattered, the bones of its forearm broken beyond repair, unable to match the Death Knight’s overwhelming strength.
With a mighty roar, unwilling to show even the faintest hint of fear, it tried to lunge at the knight. However, it was unable to, as its two legs were cleanly cut with one strike of the knight’s sword.
Its body toppled to the ground like a lifeless husk. Before it could collapse fully, however, the knight gripped its head with its free right hand.
The Profane monster swung again, severing the two whole arms of its foe.
