Bab 47: Not Over Yet [3]

The Gnoll, who had made his way into the ranks, saw the fallen Carl and jumped in.

Carl did not learn how to swing a sword while lying flat on the floor.

"Whoa!"

Carl reflexively raises his sword at the scenery seen through the visor slit.

Kaang!

Carl's long sword collided with Gnoll's axe as sparks from both weapons flew away in the air.

There was going to be only one who can be alive after this.

Carl held the sword with all his might, but he could not withstand the power of the monster gnoll, which was stronger than an adult man.

The sword bounces in vain from his grasp and flies away.

However, the gnoll's ax, made with crude metallurgy, could not withstand the blow and its head was broken.

Shattered fragments fall from the sack.

In a split second, the gnoll puts down the sack and stabs its claws, aiming for Carl's head and neck.

His death is visible in Carl's eyes.

He wanted to live.

"Kwaaah!"
