The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 132 - Lifesaving Jump

The "Bloody Berserker" wanted to continue attacking Lars, but suddenly he felt a strong pain in the ankle. Chloe slammed into it with all her might, causing the monster to lose its balance for a second.

The next moment, the girl forcefully grabbed the monster's right hand, struck the wrist and knocked out the sword.

Bam.

Without stopping, she pulled the monster's arm and knocked it to the ground. This attack was hard for her, every muscle in her body tensed and her veins swollen. What's more, the blow made her right leg burn with the pain, she had hurt it badly when she struck the monster's sturdy armor.

However, she wasn't going to stop there. While the "Bloody Berserker" was still awake, Chloe sprang into action.

She approached the monster from behind and with one hand began to strangle it, while the other one helped to carry out this strangulation. Although the monsters were very different from humans, nevertheless everybody needed air to breathe. If she cut off the "Bloody Berserker's" oxygen supply now, it would simply suffocate.

The armor protected the monster, but Chloe's grip was too strong. It urgently needed to get rid of the girl, if it didn't want to die right now.

Whoosh.

The monster tried to attack with its left hand, where it still had the sword.  The "Bloody Berserker" wanted to get rid of Chloe at all costs. The sword blade swiftly approached the girl, until suddenly it stopped a few centimeters from her face.

The monster's hand was blocked by an ivy vine, that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Evan hadn't expected Chloe to decide to attack the "Bloody Berserker", much less this way. But, he had to act on the situation.

The "Summon Thorny Ivy" wouldn`t be able to hold back the "Bloody Berserker's" hand for long, but it didn't need to.

Whoosh.

Enni appeared beside the monster. Her legs were covered in wind currents, and she had to speed up considerably to get to the rescue in time.

Bam.

Enni struck the monster's wrist with a U-turn and knocked out a second sword. Moreover, like Chloe, she decided to use her grip, curled around the monster's arm and began to break it.

The monster's flesh was cracking, and there was less and less air with every second.  A little longer and the "Bloody Berserker" would be strangled, but it still had one way out of this difficult situation.

The "Bloody Berserker" tried to throw Chloe off with its other hand, but the girl would not let do it, then it decided to act differently.  With great difficulty, the monster managed to get to the feet. Otherwise, Chloe would strangle it in a few minutes.

Bam.

The "Bloody Berserker" jumped in the air as high as it could, then turned around and crashed with its back to the ground. The monster made everything possible to hurt Chloe and Enni, and it succeeded.

The girls didn't expect the monster to do something like that. They were sure that it would suffocate and die, but wouldn`t counterattack them.

From such a powerful blow, both girls vomited a mouthful of blood and the "Bloody Berserker" quickly tossed Chloe and Enni aside. It miraculously managed to get out of their trap, inflicting wounds on them and getting a few more drops of blood that it was about to drink.

The "Bloody Berserker" bent down to the ground and quickly drank a few drops of blood while they were still on the ground.

Crack.

Its muscles began to increase dramatically, in an instant the monster became considerably stronger. Each drop increased its power and helped it to recover. Oddly enough, Chloe and Enni's daring and incredibly dangerous attack played into the monster's hands. Though the "Bloody Berserker" was on the verge of death, in the end the situation turned out in the best possible way for it.

Whoosh.

Suddenly Lars appeared behind the monster. Despite the monster's powerful blow, the young man was able to keep fighting. He quickly got to the "Bloody Berserker" and had already cast the "Blast of the Edge".

An amber cube of blast energy came into contact with the monster's flesh. Lars attacked exactly where Evan and Enni had destroyed some of the monster's armor.

Boom.

There was a deafening explosion. Lars' attack was the first, which hit not the monster's armor, but the "Bloody Berserker" itself.

The explosion hit not only the monster, but Lars, too. The shockwave threw him back several meters. His skin was badly burned, especially his arms and chest. Most of his clothes were destroyed as well, but Lars was not confused. 

He was in pain, but he still had some mana left to fix the situation.

Bam.

Upon landing, Lars immediately cast a healing spell. If he didn't heal his wounds right away, he was unlikely to be able to continue fighting.

The "Bloody Berserker" had much more serious wounds than Lars. Part of its left side was destroyed, as were huge chunks of armor. The monster's body was now only half protected by the armor. The left side of its chest was left without black armor. Now everyone could see what the monster looked like underneath its armor.

The monster's torn wound was bleeding, but thanks to the blood he`d drunk, the "Bloody Berserk" would not die. It only needed to drink some more to speed up the healing process considerably.

Swing.

Suddenly, a snow-white blade covered in ice swept right in front of the "Bloody Berserker".

"Damn!" Evan said grudgingly and attacked again. He wanted to blind his enemy, but the monster reacted in time and threw its head back. Because of this, the scythe blade failed to wound the "Bloody Berserker's" eyes.

Whoosh.

Evan struck a horizontal blow with lightning speed, but the "Bloody Berserker" once again ducked. The monster couldn't afford to get more wounds.

Whoosh.

The "Bloody Berserker" quickly bounced back and picked up its massive black sword. 

Evan lunged in its direction and instantly cast the "Magic Missile". The snow-white beam flew toward the monster. Just as Evan had expected, the "Bloody Berserker" decided to dodge rather than block the spell. Evan counted on that.

Whoosh.

The young man quickly picked up Chloe's sword from the ground and threw it to the girl, then stepped back himself.

<Our situation is very bad, but despite our many wounds, we`ve still managed to achieve something.> Evan thought, looking at the monster's serious wound.

Its blood was leaking without stopping.

<Now all we have to do is wait and it'll die on its own, but I think that's going to be rather problematic. It knows it's going to die soon, so it`ll do everything possible to survive. Chloe, Lars and Enni are wounded, but they can move, and... we're all in different corners of the arena... >.

Evan thought to himself and the next moment the "Bloody Berserker" ran towards Chloe with an incredible speed.
