Bab 57: The Dragon

Khutulun was the first to move, making use of his speed to close the distance between him and their enemy, his spear cut the air between their enemy in an instant, but was deflected by a fist. The blow felt almost like hitting a rock. He turned the spear, intent on hitting their enemy with the other side, but the man moved incredibly fast, closing in on him and projecting a punch against his chest. He managed to catch it with his spear but was still sent flying backward a good six feet.

He landed with a roll and was on his feet again just as Urus’ mace came down on the man that had called himself Tngri. Again, Tngri deflected the downward blow with a fist and one of his elbows hit Urus on the ribs, eliciting a grunt of pain that made Khutulun raise his eyebrows. It was the first time he had ever heard Urus ‘the Giant’ demonstrate any kind of pain during an encounter.
