Ligi ran up next to Resi and put up his shield. Within close proximity, he would be able to defend Resi from the hunter's attacks.
Resi still kept his eyes focused on the scaled mark on the hunter's shoulders. Even if Ligi had not come up next to him, he would have continued to attack the hunter without any regard for his own safety.
The hunter smiled as he welcomed them both with a wide swing of his axe. With one hand on the wooden handle, he swung the axe horizontally, aiming directly at Resi and Ligi's bodies.
Resi planted his feet firmly in the ground and made sure to brace himself. He had witnessed the hunter's strength before, so he knew how powerful he was.
With a crazed smile, the hunter swung his axe towards Ligi. The hunter knew about Ligi's shield and its properties, but he continued to attack Ligi.
