While I was still talking to the ape holding the sword, the battle axe came at me horizontally aimed towards my stomach. Luckily I reacted in time and dodged it with a very small scratch.
"Tch....You also dodged that" the ape holding the sword sounded salty.
Both apes then looked so relaxed. I think they believe that they have victory at hand. They might be right because this is a two vs one battle. And I do not like my odds in the battle.
Looking closely at both apes, I notice that they are pretty large. Judging by the heights, they may be at least 190cm tall with really long and muscular arms and a lot of fur is covering their bodies. Because of the darkness, my vision cannot identify the colour of the fur. The ape holding the sword is slightly smaller in size than the on with the axe. My question is whether these beasts have names or not.
"By the way, do you guys got any names? Not that i will need to remember them coz I am going to murderer both you!" I replied sounding as cocky as possible
This statement angered the ape with the sword. The one with the axe was rather just standing there waiting for an opportunity to attack. I believe that the one with the sword has more intelligence than the one with the axe. So I will call the one with sword "cocky" and the one with the axe "dumb".
"Hey cocky! why aren't attacking me? You scared or something?" I taunted cocky
"Who are you calling cocky?!" he replied in anger
"You! who else?" I continued taunting him
During this conversation, dumb was standing there looking at both of us back and forth. This proved my second hypothesis that he was following orders of cocky. Taunting cocky was effective because now dumb does not know what to do.
I ran at full speed towards cocky and jumped bringing my large hammer down vertically to smash cocky's head. But dumb came in the middle and used himself as a shield for cocky.
Without a moment for me to react, the sword came straight to my left eye and it stabbed my right above the eye. The blood oozing out of that stab wound blinded my left eye as i fell on my back after that attack.
"Hahahahahahahahaha! you really thought you could land a hit on me. This ape here is under my control. He will protect me no matter what. I believe you cannot hear anything from him. Thats coz I am controlling him! He is my slave! Hahahahahahahaha!" cocky sounded so lunatic
Under control? Aren't they on the same side? Why is he enslaving his own kin? So many questions were running through my head.
Swish!
Bang!
Both dumb started throwing attacks at me before i could think of answers to my own questions. I was barely managing to dodge the attacks. A few attacks landed and left some scratches. Dumb's attack were rather straight forward. Vertical and horizontal strikes. They were easier to dodge but if i make a mistake, al that raw strength was going to kill in one shot. cocky was rather a crafty one. On top of having a live shield, he was adept to using a sword. He only attacked immediately after dumb finishes his attack giving me little to no reaction time.
While dodging backwards, my back hit the wall.
"Now you have no where to run" cocky started smiling
"__lp -"
"Help me"
I suddenly heard pleas for help. I was confused at first. But then I looked at dumb and saw an expression that was begging for help.
"The F*CK ARE YOU DOING?!" cocky started shouting at dumb. It seems, dumb is trying to resist the control of cocky.
I used this opportunity to run to side and directly attack cocky. I lifted the hammer and swung it at cocky with all my strength.
BOOM!!!
It hit something. But it was something I did not wanted to hit.
Dumb came between me and cocky again. But it seems he did not have enough time to take a defensive stance. And my hammer dug deep into his skull. Ending on the spot.
"SHIT!!" cocky sounded so pissed.
I used this opening and swung the hammer upwards this time towards cocky. The insides of dumb's head flew in every direction.
The swing connected and it hit the chin of cocky. I used so much force that he flew backwards and landed on his back. I waited for some time to see if he stands up again. He did not. So I went closer to see. He was still breathing but unconscious.
I grabbed the sword next to him pressed it on his neck. Some blood came out. The next moment, I dug the sword deep into his neck ending his life.
