In the middle of the chaos, the duel raged on.
"Oi, shorty!! HERE!!" Kenjirou shouted as he swung down his divine sword again.
CLANG!!
The Halfling General blocked the attack with one axe and twisted, bringing the second blade in from the side.
"You wicked human—" the General snarled, "—should DIE here!!"
His axes flashed in the light, moving with surprising speed and power, especially for someone half Kenjirou's size.
CLANG!
Kenjirou caught the first blow and parried the second, but the third scrape across his ribs left a line of blood on his side.
He staggered slightly, breath coming heavy—but his grin only widened.
"Hah… you actually scratched me."
The General didn't stop. He charged again, both axes spinning as if they were part of his body.
Kenjirou planted his feet and let the next swing hit him directly.
BAM!!
He skidded back, his boots dragging a deep mark through the blood-soaked ground.
