The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 124 - A Shield And A Hammer



With a concerted effort, one of the five Ogres was defeated, but the others were already close by.

<We`ve managed to kill one Ogre with such difficulty, but we need to take out four more, there are only ten of us, it will be quite difficult>. Evan thought to himself as he looked at the approaching monsters and the other participants.

Some of them were very strong like Chloe, Lars and Enni, while others couldn\'t even kill one Ogre together.

Whoosh.

While Evan was thinking, one of the Ogres had already got to the ice platform and hit it with his massive club with all its might. The platform broke into two more pieces, separating the participants from each other.

On the right side, there was the weaker half of their group, and on the left one - Evan, Chloe, Lars, and Enni.

<We need to quickly deal with this Ogre and attack the rest of the group. We can\'t let the other members get knocked out of the ordeal ahead of time. Thought Evan watching as another Ogre with a big sword attacked the people on the right.

Whoosh.

Without hesitation, Evan quickly ran toward the Ogre with the club. He was quickly followed by the others. Chloe and Lars attacked Ogre\'s left arm. Evan, on the other hand, attacked the right where the monster held its weapon.

Whoosh.

Chloe\'s big sword was covered in a thick layer of stone, and she attacked the Ogre with all her might. It was very large, so the girl decided to hit not on its hand, but fingers. She couldn\'t cut them off, but given the weight of her sword, breaking them wouldn\'t be difficult.

Bam.

The stone sword collapsed on Ogre\'s fingers and immediately a loud cracking sound was heard. As Chloe expected, her attack was strong enough to break them. The Ogre instantly roared and attacked the girl furiously.

It was about to crush her with a club strike. But just as the monster swung it, he felt his weapon become incredibly light, as if it hadn\'t been there at all.

Whoosh.

When Ogre turned around, it saw a terrible sight. Three of his fingers had been severed in the middle of the phalanx, and there was a thick layer of ice where the cut had been made. Naturally, it was impossible to hold such a large club with just two fingers.

The Ogre\'s weapon fell into the water, and at the same moment, there was a deafening explosion next to its left hand.

Boom.

Lars cast - "Blast of the Edge" and a cube of blast energy appeared in his hand instantly. Lars threw it to the monster\'s hand and it was torn apart. In just a few attacks, the Ogre was left unarmed and with serious arm damage. This trio was too strong for this monster and there was nothing it could do about it.

Whoosh.

The monster was about to run away and hide behind the other Ogres, but as soon as it thought about it, a fist of fire came crashing down on its head. The red-hot knuckles burned through the monster\'s skin.

Whoosh.

Enni did a somersault in the air and kicked Ogre in the head with all her might. That incredible blow was the last for the Ogre.

Its huge carcass fell into the water and slowly sank to the bottom. The waves parted from it, pushing parts of the ice platforms farther apart.

<Why do I feel like this girl`s got stronger? If her punches had been as powerful in the tournament, she would have easily beaten Katlyn. It\'s no surprise though, that\'s why she\'s here and not that girl from the Erden Family>.

Evan was surprised by Enni\'s strength and speed. She had been the first to be able to last ten seconds, and not because of luck, but because her skills were at a very good level.

...

"They`ve taken out that Ogre so easily, that\'s what it means to team up and act together!" The man in the silver mantle said loudly.

"Their attack actually turned out very well, each of them has a lot of power. But, it only works well against such slow opponents. The other team isn\'t doing as well, though it\'s not bad either."

Said the girl in the silver mantle watching the five students fight against the Ogre. The monster had already received many wounds and should have died soon, but time was not playing in favor of the participants.

Bam.

A wind blade and a fiery arrow flew at the Ogre\'s head, but a moment before it hit, a huge, iron hammer appeared in front of the Ogre\'s face. The other Ogre came to the aid of its comrade and shielded it from the two spells that should have killed it.

The hammer was strong enough to block the spells without damage. The second group was a little slower than the first, so they now had to fight two monsters at once. Of course, one of the Ogres was already very seriously wounded, but it was still capable of giving them trouble.

<Some of them are wounded, I wonder if they can handle the second Ogre?> Evan thought to himself as he watched the participants on the other side of the ice platform.

The Ogre with the sword managed to wound two students, not seriously, but they wouldn`t be able to fight as vigorously as before.

"Here comes our opponent." Evan said slowly, looking at the Ogre walking in their direction.

It was larger than the others and looked very formidable. It had a huge shield in its left hand and an axe with a broad blade in the right one.

Neither Evan nor the others, however, were frightened. The Ogre was gigantic, which meant it was even slower than its comrades.

The other two Ogres were distracted by the team on the other side of the ice platform. Evan and the others didn\'t need to rush, they had plenty of time to deal with this Ogre.

Whoosh.

When the Ogre was close enough, both Evan and Enni rushed in its direction. They were going to give it a couple of powerful blows and seriously wound it.

<What?!>

Evan stopped abruptly when he saw something unexpected: suddenly Ogre began to raise its huge shield high above its head.

<Damn!>

The young man quickly realized what was about to happen and ran with all speed away from the Ogre in the other direction. Chloe, Lars and Enni were surprised by the monster\'s actions, they immediately jumped into the water.

Bam.

The next moment Ogre slammed its shield against the ice platform with all its might, breaking it into small pieces. They had no chance to fight the Ogre in the water.

Chloe, Lars and Enni were able to save themselves by diving deep under the water, while Evan had already been very far away.

"I didn\'t expect the last Ogre to be so problematic. We need to get over to the right side right away." Evan said with a frown.

Whoosh.

The young man plunged his icy scythe blade into the water and ran toward the right team. They were fighting two Ogres at once and Evan intended to help them. If the Ogre with the shield broke their part of the platform as well, they might indeed lose without reaching the finals.
