Chapter Eighty-Seven: Madness
Hull was already starting to regret it, he felt that he would rather face three previous Pannises than one who was consumed by anger, and in his perception, Pannis had gone completely crazy and completely lost his mind. Just a few minutes ago, when Pannis's last words were finished, he rushed at him like lightning, completely abandoning any defensive maneuvers and launching the fiercest and most decisive attack, giving the impression that he would rather give up his life than drag Hel and him into hell.
Even Asker, even this man who was as cold as a stone had to show a look of surprise, after knowing him for so many years, in his memory, Kyle's image was always calm and steady, elegant and graceful, and there was never a moment like now, no more warm smile, no more careful planning, no more calmness in everything, but instead became like a beast crazy because he was cornered, facing an enemy stronger than himself to make a challenging roar, using all the means at his disposal to attack the enemy, even if he was seriously injured, he had to add an extra blood mark to the enemyγ
Indeed, Pannis, like crazy, seemed to have forgotten everything, the scythe cutting, the cold irritation, the loss of blood, the mutilation of limbs, these were no longer important. It's going to be pierced? It's okay, it's going to freeze right away. The intestines are going to be severed? It doesn't matter, you can't die for a while except for the pain. The finger is going to be amputated? It doesn't matter, the missing finger has little effect on combat effectiveness. The neck is going to be chopped off? This one has to be dodged, the dead have no fighting ability. Pannis, clinging to Hull's side, exchanged injuries for injuries without hesitation, one-handed swords, daggers, wrist blades, fists, claw stabs, crossbows, metal drills, fists and feet, elbows, knees, foreheads, nails, teeth, everything that could be used to inflict damage on the enemy was used as a weapon, as long as it could launch one more attack, it didn't matter what it used.
Hull panicked, he had only faced such an attack once in his long life force, and now this was the second time. The last time I faced a similar attack. It was also launched by Pannis, and it was a confrontation on the floatboat, but that time, although Pannis was also close to his height, he fought closely. But it's not at all as careless as it is now, and it's not like it's taking unlimited attacks to the extreme. Even though hundreds of thousands of years have passed, the battles Hull has seen are normalized, and he has no experience in facing such a mad dog-like enemy, so he can only barely minimize the damage he has suffered. At the same time, try to deal a more lethal blow to Pannis.
However, it didn't work. Pannis said before that he has discovered Hull's most fatal weakness, this weakness is that he is very inexperienced in combat, after all, Hull, as a high-level clergyman, even if he lives for a long time, he will not really experience too many hand-to-hand combat, especially in the last 100,000 years, he has hardly fought head-on, and he has no power bonus brought by divine grace. But I couldn't play to the extreme, too many opportunities, too many gaps, I couldn't grasp it, but I made a lot of mistakes, if it wasn't for relying on the rescue of light magic, it is estimated that I would have died I don't know how many times.
"Calm down. "When Pannis launched his fourteenth attack, Asker followed, not because Asker was too slow to recover from his surprise, but because Pannis was too fast. Only four seconds had passed. When Hull was forced to take a few steps back, a dagger suddenly appeared in Hull's backward path, and he didn't realize the threat until he was about to hit the dagger, and twisted his waist to avoid it. But he was still left with a long blood mark on his waist by the dagger. The blow worked, and Aske took a few steps back, leaving room for Pannis to continue attacking, but still shouted in a low voice: "You are too excited, now calm down and save it, retreat first." β
"I can't die. "Pannis's form is crazy though. But his voice sounded exceptionally calm, and he said without pause: "I'm normal, I've never been as normal as now, don't worry, cooperate with me." β
The expression on Asker's axe-like face moved, and he returned to his usual indifference and rigidity, and no longer continued to persuade. Years of cooperation, he and Kyle have long been full of tacit understanding, he knows that no matter at any time, he can fully trust this human partner, Kyle will never be sorry for his friends, Kyle will never let his friends down, therefore, since Kyle said that he himself is normal, then he must know what he is doing, so as long as he cooperates with him, he will usher in the final brilliant victory without suspense, just like the countless battles he has experienced.
So, Asker fell silent, and in the silence the two changed their roles. At the beginning of the battle, Pannis was mainly responsible for defense, and the truly effective attacks were handed over to Asker, but now, the positions of the two have been reversed, and the crazy Pannis has used all means to take on the responsibility of the main attack, while Aske has become a supporting task on the side, using timely attacks to minimize the number of fatal attacks for Pannis, as for non-lethal attacks, Pannis doesn't care at all.
Although Hull was flustered, his heart gradually settled down, because he found that as Pannis was hurt more and more, the state of outbursts due to anger gradually became sluggish, and even his movements seemed to slow down a bit. Hull knew in his heart that as long as he held on for a few more minutes and held on until the end of Pannis's outburst, the two of them would never have a chance to win again.
Not only did he discover the problem, but Pannis himself also discovered it, but he didn't show any panic at all, just whispered: "Asker, thirty seconds." β
The tacit understanding of the battle between the two made Asker immediately understand Pannis's order, and without thinking about why, Asker suddenly approached Hull and took over from Pannis to attack, but Pannis instead pulled back, and in a blink of an eye, he withdrew seven or eight meters away.
No one but Pannis, knew why he had withdrawn, Hel only saw Pannis standing still, his hand in his coat, not knowing what he had done, he knew that whatever Pannis was doing, it was not a good thing for him, and he had to stop it immediately, but Aske did not take a step back, pestering him so tightly that he had no chance to pass. When he finally found an opportunity to push Aske back, he saw that Pennis gave him an eerie, mocking smile.
In the next moment, Pannis disappeared on the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already clinging to his back, even if he found it in time and tried to stab back with the end of the scythe in his hand, but even if Pannis's chest was pierced, he still stretched out his hands and hugged his waist tightly, so that the two were completely close together.
The next moment, a violent explosion erupted in the position where the two of them fit together. (To be continued.) )
