She cried out, trying to pull away.
But it was too late.
Kael spun her into the path of the axe-wielder.
Crunch!
The axe hit her instead. She dropped dead instantly.
Kael didn't wait. He used her body as cover, dashed toward the spear-user, and slashed upward. The man backstepped, but Kael pressed, ignoring the stinging pain in his limbs.
Another stab followed which he parried.
A kick to the gut. Kael caught the leg and wrenched it sideways, sending the enemy sprawling to the ground.
He moved to finish... But a blur closed in on him.
The knuckle-user crashed into him from the side like a boulder.
Kael flew. Hit the dirt hard and tumbled. Pain flared everywhere.
[HP reduced to 37%]
His vision wobbled, blurred.
He blinked. Blinked again to clear his head.
The sky above was gray and clouded. A bird passed silently overhead, wings stretched wide.
Kael's hands twitched. He couldn't stop now.
