Chapter 125 - The Poleaxe And The Handle (1/2)

Whoosh.

Evan ran across the ice toward the right side of the platform. He had to help the others if he wanted to make it to the finals. He, Chloe, Lars, and Enni were very strong, but the four of them would hardly handle three Ogres at once.

Moreover, the Ogre with the shield was different from the others. It was sluggish, but it was able to make good decisions. If it decided to attack with a shield not a poleaxe, they would simply dodge that attack and pounce on the monster all at once.

<This Ogre`s destroyed the platform so we can't fight anymore. Good thing I didn't have to dive in.>

Evan thought to himself as he watched Enni emerging from the water far from the platform. She didn't take any chances and swam as far away from the monster as possible. Chloe and Lars did the same.

Whoosh.

After a few seconds, Evan reached the right side of the platform. He rushed to the aid of the other team. By this point, they had already killed the Ogre with the sword and inflicted several wounds on the Ogre with the hammer. But, two of the students were seriously wounded, and one was carried off the battlefield by a Golem.

<What?!>

Evan was about to attack the monster, but suddenly he noticed that the Ogre with the shield was staring at him intently. Evan became wary, he thought that for some reason the Ogre had chosen him as a target, but it wasn't quite true.

Whoosh.

”Bitch, why is it so smart?!” Evan said angrily, and instead of attacking the Ogre with the hammer, he ran off in the other direction.

Whoosh.

The next moment the Ogre with the shield raised its massive poleaxe, brought it behind its head, and threw it at the icy platform with all its might.

Bam.

The group of five people noticed this attack, but too late. The poleaxe hit the center of the platform and shattered it into many pieces. The weapon plunged into the water, but its hilt was sticking out of the water.

The students did not expect such an attack and tried to swim as far away from there as possible, but not everyone succeeded.

Bam.

Without wasting time, the Ogre struck with its hammer where the two students had just dived. Its blow was swift and incredibly powerful. If it hit the target, the participants would definitely not survive.

Bam.

The hammer plunged into the water and the massive waves pushing the last pieces of the ice platform apart in all directions.

At the same moment, Golem flew out of the water with two students in his arms. There was horror on their faces, if it wasn`t for Golem, they would have been crushed into a pancake by that hammer.

”Huh, this wench is pretty lucky, she's still here despite all the trouble.” Evan said with a smirk as he looked at Gerda floating away.

Evan's gaze shifted from the Ogre with the hammer, to the Ogre with the shield, he was trying to figure out what he should do. There were only two opponents left, but they could no longer fight on the water.

Thanks to the ”Ice Veil”, Evan could move through the water creating ice in front of him, but he had to keep his scythe blade submerged in the water to do so.

<Hmm, one has a sword and the other a poleaxe and a hammer. Looks like I`m going to have to strain a bit>.

Whoosh.

Evan quickly ran toward the Ogre with the sword. He decided to deal with it himself. It would be difficult, but Evan knew what he was capable of and besides, his opponent was wounded. The biggest problem was still the Ogre with the shield who was slowly pacing in his direction.
