Chapter: 652

Jay believed the fight was pretty one-sided, especially since Heavy had full set of heavy armour and a shield on its side, while Dark only had the two daggers to keep it light and nimble.

Counter to Jays expectations, Dark jumped back further and turned to the side as it began running through the rocks, weaving in and out of them with tremendous speed. Its light body allowed it to turn at sharp angles without losing any speed.

Heavy had to keep spinning and repositioning it’s shield, but suddenly a dagger fell down from the sky behind it.

The dagger was obviously a misdirection and Heavy was only distracted for a fraction of a second, but this was all the assassin needed.

It quickly sprinted from a concealed crack behind some rocks, dashing with undead speed and pouncing with its last dagger out.

Heavy raised the shield but couldn’t brace in time. Dark bashed it’s body against the shield, ignoring the damage as it raised its arm to block a sword slash, taking enough damage to snap its arm.

With the shield pushed up against its body, Heavy was vulnerable.

The dagger Dark had saved was thrust into its eyes. Time seemed to show as the dagger shimmered with a bone luster towards its face.

Heavy tried to lower its head so the helmet would take the hit, but it was simply too late.

*Donk~*

The dagger pierced its eye socket, but stopped just before it hit the back of the skull. Dark didn’t want to hurt Heavy in any meaningful way.

Heavy stopped moving as it stood there with Dark’s blade in its face – not because it was dead, but because it was realizing what just happened: it lost.

Dark wasn’t sure what to do now either. It had won the fight but lost an arm, so it didn’t go to pick up its new dagger.

They were both caught in a strange embrace, as neither knew the ethics around beating an opponent.

However, both of them soon heard a sound.

Looking around, they heard a slow clapping sound and saw a smiling human face.

“Excellent fight.” Jay smiled, “now we will do it again, but this time it will be a little different…”

The skeletons finally disengaged; Dark pulled its dagger out of Heavy’s eye and stared at Jay for a moment, both wondering what was going to happen.

“You two will fight again, but now, Dark will be one-handed.” Jay said as he picked up Dark's dropped dagger.

The skeletons each looked at Jay dumbfounded - their master wanted them to fight again?

Of course, Jay expected Heavy to win now, and this strategy would also allow Dark to thick more tactically and gain more battle experience.

After another short battle, Heavy did win, though it lost its shield. Jay could craft another as he had the blueprint down in his mind.

Dark won the next round, then the next round - until Heavy used its second arm to start grappling, and won again.

Soon enough, Heavy lost its arm too, and then Dark continued to win for the next few rounds.
