Chapitre 237: Sacrifice

Elias didn't see the trash can flying through the air until it struck him in the head. He stumbled to the side, feeling dazed as he tried to maintain his balance.

He was soon knocked off his feet as Alaric swept his legs right out from under him. Elias hit the ground on his back with a pained huff.

Alaric punched downward at Elias' face with a shout.

Elias jerked his head out of the way at the last second, hearing Alaric's fist collide with the asphalt. He kicked his foot upward, striking Alaric in the stomach to knock the breath from him.

They tussled on the ground, punching and elbowing each other as much as they could in close quarter combat.

Alaric placed his hands on Elias' chest, creating a crushing feeling that made Elias grit his teeth in pain.
