Edward was looking at Marlin's limping body. Marlin wasn't moving anymore. Witnessing that Edward's eyes were trembling. The stream of sweat was running down his body without pause.
He was laying down at the same spot where Marlin dives down with him to evade the attack. After that, he experienced the fight between Marlin and the Bull monster. This is the first time he saw Marlin's battle, so I cannot blame his bewilderment and change of point of view toward Marlin.
I know by seeing his expression, what he was thinking. He was thinking that he never could give a fight like Marlin. For him, Marlin is right now out of his league.
After killing Marlin, the Bull was advancing toward Edward. He snapped back Marlin's dead body to the Bull. Evident fear was in his eyes. But unlike other times where he would have back down, he tried to stand up. He took out his hammer.
For the first time, I am seeing something has changed in him. Which is, the firmness he was showing. While the Bull was coming toward him slowly, he ran toward him with his fat body. Because he has bad adaptability in terms of moving speed because of his body I told him to increase his agility. Now, people of the Gungnir will be astonished how can a fat guy like him move this fast.
He follows the same tactic as Marlin, he ran toward it and attack it with a hammer, but unlike Marlin, he didn't jump. The bull didn't depend on the club to screen like last time. It used its right arm. Edward was backed down a few steps.
Edward raised his hammer with both hands and tried to use his strongest ability, that is "Thor's Hammer".
This attack delivers a 200 percent blow than the basic damage. Not only that, but it does also have a 20% knockback ability. Knockback is the sub-skill which makes the enemy back down by a few steps, though he couldn't deal much damage on the Bull, the knockback worked on the Bull.
It stepped away about a two meters distance than Edward. Edward got his confidence back and tried to attack it with Thor's Hammer again, but before he could do that, the monster used its very first skill with its club he used on them which made Marlin dive down to the ground. The name of the skill is Arc Slash. Unlike Heavenly Slash that Marlin used, it creates a single slash. However, the sharpness of the shockwave not lesser than Heavenly Slash.
Edward wasn't Marlin, even though I made him invest in agility, that doesn't mean his reaction is greater than Marlin. For that, he needs more humanly experience. Having capability doesn't mean having the ability to execute it, which was the case for Edward. And that was also the reason that brought his end.
The Arc Slasher directly struck on his head which severe his head's connection with his body. He died before he could understand that. He was down.
When that happened, both of their body had dissolved from there.
Outside of the dungeon, I stood up and teleported to the City of Light. There was a church in it called Light Hall. I directly transported there.
I saw three men inside the church, one of them was the father of the church and the other two were Edward and Marlin who were checking their bodies with disbelieving eyes.
