The Berserker of My Fantasy Online

Chapter 27: A Scary Parallel

With Violet and the rest taking off, we still stand a chance to be the first guild to the rendezvous point. Aegis is still nowhere to be found and it's a 2v1. It's going to be very hard to win this from here on out.

Gash got within range of my attack and I made a swing powerful enough to take his head off. He defended by using his two swords to block it. As our blades clashed once more, he tip of his sword began to glow as he fell back and dashed to attack me from another angle.

"VITAL PUNCTURE!"

He was going to use vital puncture with his right sword. If this hits, the fight is as good as lost. I retaliated by dodging and using my axe to make a wide swing across his chest, but he anticipated that and dodged the swing itself.

"Lesser Buffing!" Polk sent out a skill to buff Gash and as soon as he received it, he became considerably faster.

Any regular attack I tried doing had no chance of hitting him at this point. He simply dodged and attacked, or attacked at any opening he saw. He already brought my HP to 60%. At this rate, I'm going to slowly die here.

Things are starting to get exciting!

"I guess I have no choice. It's been a while, but I've ran out of options!" I readied my axe for throw directly at Gash. Gash began to laugh at the beginnings of my plan.

"Well when you make it that obvious, I know you're going to throw the axe at me. Please tell me you have more planned, Matthew-"

Before he could finish his sentence, I hurled my axe it him at immense speeds. While it was travelling to him, I used Deathly Lunge to begin closing in the distance. I have to just match the speed of General Slayer, whilst staying behind it. Otherwise, my plan won't work.

Gash used both of his swords to do an upwards swing and redirect the axe's path. That's it! That's what I was looking for! The small window of opportunity where he is still reacting to the axe throw-where his body is exposed- is the moment I was looking for for my attack!

I gave the hardest swing to Gash's stomach and he recoiled in pain.

"GAH!"

However, I wasn't done there. I gave Gash a punch to his face and he staggered backwards.

As he staggered, I tackled him onto the sand. As I tackled him, the sand below him gave way and an avalanche happened around the three of us.

We plummeted until we all hit the floor and we all entered FYL. I briefly darted my eyes around to get an idea of my surroundings. I looked around and it seemed like we were in a large hole that had a spotlight we were in, but darkness all around us. In that darkness, were countless red eyes that surrounded us.

"HAAAAAAAAAA!" Gash ignored the monsters and came charging at me.

"GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Four monsters shaped like small rabbits jumped out of the shadows and intercepted him. As he fought them off, I retreated into the darkness. I need to get health back if I want to stand a chance, and the best way to do that is to deal as much damage as possible. This deposit was a blessing in disguise.

As I ran through, dispatching of the rabbit monsters in the darkness, I looked to see a green light near the opening.

"HA!" Gash came for my neck with one of his swords, but I just barely dodged it. His powerful swing then attributed to taking out two rabbits. For a long time, our little game was one of cat and mouse. He would chase me throughout the darkness, and I would dodge any attack he would send.

While we tried to get the upper hand on each other, we eliminated the rabbits along the way. This went on until all of the rabbits were defeated, and the green light I saw earlier turned red. Gash sighed in disappointment as I still kept my distance.
