Kapitel 115: The Gate Has Fallen!?

Erik against Asmund, round two. Kjell watched because he did not mind if Asmund died in this battle. He was aware of how huge a blow the death of Erik The Berserker would prove to be.

He entertained the bout, not making a single move to interfere with the battle because this was the day he was waiting for, the day that Signy would be recognized as king as he had already conditioned him to a certain degree.

The death of Asmund would prove beneficial to him, but he had more important things than politics right now and that was surviving the war.

"King Asmund, what happened to you?" Erik asked, he did not like the fact that he was fighting him when he was not at his prime and even in a weakened state.

Erik swung his ax in a bid to take off his head but Asmund barely avoided it while simultaneously rupturing a vein in Erik's wrist, forcing blood to spill like a water hose.

It was impressive that in this state he could still best Erik and Erik was satisfied with this too.
