Chương 160: Battle of the Tormented (10)

The lava immediately cooled down into a tray of igneous rock, setting up the stage for the final stretch of the fight. 

Once again, in tandem with the floating weapons of blood around us, I ran towards him, making sure to keep him just at the right distance to where he couldn't hit me with his blade, but I could still hit him. 

He clearly wasn't proficient in any close combat as he had many times used it after drawing me in with one of his attacks, but just as I had predicted, he was too bulky to pull off any of those moves. 

He wasn't particularly fast but what set him apart from everybody else was his insane strength, battle IQ, and overall control of his skills. 

We exchanged a few swings with our weapons but none of them connected, and as he slowly warmed up again to my fighting style, he incorporated attacks of lava.
