263 CCLXIII. The Chain-Warrior (1/2)

An electric aura began to wrap Dag's hammer and the corresponding arm.

The celestial sparks soon joined the fluid, which embellished their color, turning them into the usual deep purple.

From the dust, Roar came out, walking slowly in the direction of Dag.

”Tanngnjóstr and Tanngrisnir were the magical goats that towed the chariot of the mighty God of thunder... Thor, son of Odin... when the evening came, the warrior used to kill his beasts, cook them and devour them to the last shred... but the morning after, reassembling their bones, with the help of Mjöllnir, his magic hammer, the two goats came back to life, again and again, and again” exclaimed the beastly man, as he approached him, comparing his hammer enveloped in purple sparks to Thor's.

After those words, Kjell, who had grabbed the chain he had been deprived of just before, struck Roar again, wrapping his legs with both chains.

”Ellen! Now!” he shouted, trying to put into practice an action plan with Ellen, who quickly twirled the rod in her hands and then hit the ground, creating a fracture under Roar's legs, whose hooves sink inside of.

Soon after, Ellen ran towards him, loading another hit directly to his head, but Roar, with a simple movement of his hand, hit her on the shoulder, sending her flying meters away.

”You're really annoying, my speech was not over yet!” yelled the beast-man, again trying to grab Kjell's chains, which this time was quicker than before and pulled them to himself before the enemy could catch them.

Roar detached his hooves from the ground and rushed to Dag trying to land him, but he dodged his opponent's body at a frightening speed, hitting him soon after with the electric hammer, which on impact with the goat demon's back, released an enormous amount of energy and caused him to slam his chest to the ground.

”Karl, stay here with Freydis! Reidar, come with me! Dag needs our help!” exclaimed Gridd, tired of watching the fight without intervening.

Reidar, after a moment's hesitation, due to the fear that the filthy being emanated, ran with her to Dag and the others, stopping a few meters back and preparing the Failnaught.

Meanwhile, Roar got up from the ground but was hammered again on the chest by Dag, who caused him to retreat a few feet.

He tried to counterattack, waving his arm toward Dag, trying to hit him with the sharp claws of his hand, but he dodged the blow again and violently hit the enemy's wrist with the Giantbane, choking his hand.

Liters of magenta blood poured to the ground, while the demon looked at his handless arm, without feeling pain and amazed at the cutting ability of Dag's axe, which had penetrated his skin, harder than iron.

Before Dag could attack him again, he leaped backward, moving away from the opposing warriors, ready to join forces and kill him for good.

Dag rotated both weapons in his hands, emitting sparks of electricity and fire, carefully studying his opponent's movements to deduce his next move.

”Aaagh!” Freydis continued, as the pain of her wound kept on growing exponentially as the fight went on.
