39 XXXIX. The Pendan (2/2)

The fist hit Dag's hand. He felt like a rumble behind him.

Judging by the enemy's astonished expression, it looked like Adamant Mountain had worked!

Dag rotated his hand and the man fell ruinously to the ground.

In the meantime, however, the other was also attacking him.

Immediately after landing the first, Dag raised his sword and managed to parry the blow.

Then he stared at the man on the ground.

He moved at times and seemed unable to get up from the ground. He did it! He had learned Magni's personal skill with very little practice!

These were the only thoughts in Dag's mind, who fought those men more as a workout than a real threat.

He turned to the man who tried to hit him.

With a quick stroke of the hilt he hit his chin and when the man resented the blow, Dag shoved to his side and pierced him in the ribs.

The man uttered a cry of pain when Dag turned the blade of the sword inside his body, shattering his rib cage.

The man stopped screaming.

Dag pulled the sword out of the enemy's body, kicking him to the ground.

”Minus one,” he thought.

That fight was even fun for him. Real enemies were certainly better opponents than inanimate old dummies.

The man on the ground began to regain the sensitivity of the limbs. He tried to get up.

When he put his hands down, trying to push himself, Dag threw his sword at him, piercing him on the shoulder.

He walked towards him, snared the sword still impaled and drew it violently, causing abundant bleeding in the man.

Before this one could say a word, he struck him again by slitting his throat.

The man began bubbling, spitting blood and dying slowly.

Dag stared at Kval, with the bloody sword in his hand.

Kval began to applaud ironically.

”Well well, who the fuck are you, boy?” he said, as he drew a double-headed axe from his back.

”One that's better not to provoke too much,” Dag replied, ironically.

Wielding the big axe, Kval began to walk with a menacing air toward Dag.

”Oh oh oh, listen to this one!” he said.

He came up again and without saying anything, waved his axe against him, striking him.

Dag parried the blow, but it was of such power that he threw it against a tree about 3 meters behind him.

Dag slammed back into the trunk of the tree, then fell to the ground.

”What the...?” he whispered to himself.

He stood up, staring at Kval, who kept walking towards him.

”Boooy! Listen to me, give me that necklace,” he said.

He kept insisting on that pendant.

”Why is a stupid pendant so important?! I just don't understand!” replied Dag.
