The Gnoll threw a punch, and just as it hit the machete, Apache suddenly retracted the weapon, spun around, and swept a leg towards the Gnoll's temple.
Ada!
Apache screamed wildly.
He was born in a poor family and worked as an apprentice in a boxing gym before becoming a God Hunter, playing the role of a sparring partner, getting beaten up from a young age, and later started to throw fights to make a living.
Such rigged matches heavily tested one's fighting skills, perception, and acting because the slightest mistake could result in death, and once the deception was revealed, that source of income would be gone for good.
Therefore, Apache's attack, enhanced by his expressive acting, looked exceptionally convincing, even fooling the Gnoll
The Gnoll that had already thrown a punch could not change its move in time.
Bang!
