PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER-Chapter 61

61 Chapter 61 Fierce and controlled, a Desmond who instills fear.(2)

Little by little the loss of blood and fatigue began to slow down the lizardmen, out of nowhere the man pounced with a burst of speed like the one he used at the beginning of the fight, and with a diagonal cross-cut, he cut the heads of two beasts, followed with another boost of momentum and performing a counterclockwise twist he nailed his left dagger into the center of the chest of another beast while with a back hook he nailed his right dagger into the lower part of the chin of the fourth beast that He killed in this brutal and dazzling combo, causing the point of the dagger to protrude from the top of her bleeding skull.

Drawing both daggers full of blood and bone fragments, in his third consecutive burst of speed he lunged with a frontal onslaught against the enemy in front of him, leaving aside all showy acrobatics or elaborate movement, he rammed his enemy with the daggers ahead which horns of a bull and nailed them in the chest of this until only the hilt protruded, then using the daggers as support and the body yet to collapse of his last victim as a pivot, the masked man performed acrobatics that seemed to imitate a tiger saber teeth when I diagonally pierce both sides of the enemy’s neck behind him.

After holding on to both daggers, he stood on his dying victim before using his legs as a scale to generate momentum and with another cartwheel to completely tear the inside of both of her shoulders, causing a shower of blood to fall on the area that had just left. One of the two remaining beasts, the one that had received a kick to the sternum, tried to get closer believing that it might attack him by falling, but what he received in return was a downward kick delivered with overwhelming speed to the top of the skull.

CRACK! 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

The sound of the bone fracture echoed to where I was, the whole fight seemed to have its weight on the physical condition of the masked man, when he fell after killing his ninth victim in a row, he staggered for a moment, the last of the creatures He seemed to perceive his moment of weakness as he tried to attack the man from behind, but I could almost feel the smile that was hidden under the mask of the latter when without any effort he made a lateral turn avoiding the incoming attack while he stabbed his dagger in the lateral side of his attacker’s skull.

The brutality and ferocity of the masked man caused a fear that was only supported by the degree of control he had over the battlefield and the pace of his enemies, from start to finish he did not receive a single wound, he seemed to simply be always one step ahead. , seizing the slightest opportunity to end the life of his enemies. From the moment he was shown on the battlefield until now, the man had fought and killed every one of his victims at the time he proposed, not a single one of them managed to counter-attack when the moment came That he made his killing move.

As I stared in admiration at the man in front of me, he shook the blood and pieces of flesh from his daggers, after sheathing them, he started walking towards me, I almost thought he had something to say to me, until he stopped in front of the second lizardman attacked, the one with the gigantic gash on his back, only to raise his leg so high that it almost formed a 180-degree angle with his other leg and as he dropped it in a brutal downward kick, a loud reverberating bone fracture sound leaving, of course, the life of this beast had finally ended.

He seemed to check his surroundings, perhaps to make sure that other of these invisible beasts weren’t hiding somewhere or trying to flee, after a brief moment he began to clean the bleeding pieces of his enemies that had made their way to his clothes when finished. He waved his hand as if yawning at how easy the battle was and ignoring my disbelief at his gesture he shrugged and continued on his way.

Taking the bow from him the man set off on his way to the watchtower where he had been before and as if this whole battle had been just an illusion, he continued to play his role as an anti-aircraft shooter. The rest of the defensive battle was much calmer and nothing important happened later, tonight I was able to go home to see my wife and children, I lost many friends today, but at least I am happy to see survive.

.....

While I was helping my comrades to collect the corpses of our fallen friends, a squad at the hand of the general came to take the corpses of those strange lizardmen, they also approached the masked man and with a respect that I had never seen the show before they asked him to accompany them somewhere. It’s good that they were that respectful, seeing how all the creatures that dared to attack him ended up tonight, I don’t think he would have been very nice to those men if they insulted him just because they were from the army. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

As I left my team at the base and prepared to go home, I heard that the higher-ups were going to have an emergency meeting tonight to discuss some things related to today’s battle, but the truth is that it was none of my business as a low-ranking soldier. I just want to go back to bed with my wife and if I get a promotion for this battle it wouldn’t be bad either. . . I wonder if the masked man participated in the meeting with the higher-ups.

Unconscious to everyone, everything that took place during the defensive battle was being observed by a pair of golden eyes in the dark and when he saw that the show had ended, the owner of these eyes flew away in the darkness of the night. . . at least it seemed so.
