Chapter 54 - The Knight And The Horse (Part 2) (1/2)
Luke opened his inventory and looked at the icons of the Biped Rabbit meat, Biped Rabbit leather, and the Wooden Swords, in that same order.
Luckily, he had not dared to use the swords when he fought the Rabbits, and since he was now out of options, that was the only useful thing he could use.
As soon as the training sword started to come out of the bright yellow square, Luke pulled it so hard that there was almost no resistance.
In the midst of a swift thrust, he raised the saber to shoulder height, with the blade facing forward, and just as he had done with one of the Giant Spiders, Luke hurled the sword toward the horse's eye.
Trrrack! The sword broke into dozens of pieces when it hit the horse's visor, which was made of the same metal as the knight's armor.
”Tsk! What the fuck...” The half-wolf complained, having to suddenly turn direction.
Since the knight didn't expect this sudden move made by Luke, he also lost his horse's direction a bit, which alleviated his opponent's mistake.
Seeing this, Luke took advantage of the monster's recovery time to grab another sword, and when he turned around, he saw the knight already running towards him, while the scythe dragged on the ground and generated sparks.
Vuuupt! Another training sword cut the arena in half, heading towards the Dark Horse's eye and... Prrraft! It dug deep into the creature's left eye, which took critical damage and rose up under its hind legs, finally creating a viable opening for Luke.
Luke then ran towards the horse to take advantage of this mistake. In a deft leap, he managed to reach the monster's large neck and clawed it. Since his plan only consisted of creating a chance, the half-wolf had to improvise, so he tried to break the horse's neck.
However, that was not a normal monster like Kobolds, Goblins, and not even like Biped Rabbits. So, the moment he applied force to twist the creature's limb, he felt the creature's fibrous muscles and also the one clear weak point.
But the adventurer didn't want to end up dead, so he managed to be quick enough to spin himself around and hit the monster's jugular with a powerful one-handed blow. Prrrraft! The half-wolf's fist went through the neck on the way in and finished the monster on the way back.
During the horse's fall, Luke jumped up and caught the egg, which was falling.
”Do you feel better now?” He shouted angrily, scrambling away from the mess.
The feet of the half-beast's worn soles, scraped on the metal floor of the place as he skidded at speed.
The knight expressed no reaction as he fell, only instinctively stood up and swung his spear with his right arm, generating a bit of wind.
Luke didn't understand what was happening, yet he felt compelled to keep fighting, not for himself, but for his companions who were waiting for him in the old shed.
