Chapter 37: I never apologised
"Fuck."
At the last second, Henrick leaps away as fast as he possibly can, but falls short as the fist hurtles at a deceptively quick speed. Electricity subconsciously appearing to protect his body.
The Goliath’s fist slams into Henrick’s chest with the force of a wrecking ball. CRUNCH. An audible collapsing of ribs rings out, making the group wince at the brutal sound.
Henrick sails through the air and slams into a tree, snapping it in half as he tumbles feet over head for a couple of meters. "AAAGHH!!" he screams in agony.
"Bluuurgh..." The soldier then throws up a copious amount of blood as his body struggles to compensate for the damage done to it, ears ringing from the shockwave.
"Henrick!! Watch out!!" David screams as he fires a concussive blast behind the electricity user, clipping his shoulder in the process as it slams into a Fishman.
The Fishman and Henrick both get sent rolling across the ground from the force of the strike, with the soldier dazedly laying there in absolute pain after.
Selene fires bolt after bolt at the corrupted horde while David leaps into the air and rains down concussive blasts onto the Fishmen, crushing and pulverising them.
Alex throws out multiple small sized fireballs in rapid succession towards both hordes, akin to a machine gun. The compact balls of flame explode upon impact, creating chaos on both sides.
Leo sprints to Henrick and gives him as many licks as he possibly can, but the canine is already exhausted from healing Veronica earlier.
The good boy wobbles and collapses on the soldier, but refuses to stop licking. "That’s...enough, boy." Henrick says as he slowly gets up.
Leo complies and leans his head on Henrick’s chest, tongue lolling out in abject fatigue, yet satisfied that his human isn’t dead.
