He needed to his...but he was so far away from the tower that protects him in reality he didn't even think he could make it.
Concluding immediately, he backed up still facing his enemy and not averting his eyes for even a single moment. When he reached where the little robots were fighting he, grabbed the sword that was in the hand of one and a bow and some arrows from another.
Without taking his eyes of his enemy, he quickly equipped blindly and as he felt his weapon he found out that he had on him only 5 pieces of arrow.
The enemy robot, dashed to him, emitting a dangerous blood lust that made his breathing a bit difficult. He would have been in a huge disadvantage, but seeing that the enemy was a dual swords man like him, it would be a bit easy in predicting his opponent attacks.
The robot attacked him with the left dagger. Ernest, knowing that the robot would also attack with the right if he dodged or block the left attack, drew an arch facing skywards that deflected the left fake attack and blocked the right. His strength was not that strong enough to stop the right fully so he let the strong impact throw him into the thick high bushes causing him to slam onto the towering wall, which was what he had planned.
Hidden briefly by the bush, Ernest sunk his sword down to the ground. He had held his arrows in the same hand as the bow to make firing more easier. Noticing that the enemy robot was approaching, he threw one of his arrow out and high in the open space towards the enemy robot.
The robot, thinking it was an attack, followed the arrow with its eyes and in that moment where it left his neck totally unprotected which was also the least protected part in its body, an arrow pierced through its throat causing black oil to spill.
Ernest had not shot one arrow but two. He was sure the neck, even though it was the least protected, would still be stronger so he shot two at it. One to make a dent in the neck and the second to pierce through. The robot strutted like a drunk and then removed the arrow that was stuck in his neck. Eyeing the perpetrator, be dashed towards Ernest leaving behind only an after math of himself.
Ernest tucked, blocked, ducked and some times when his reflex could not allow any he allowed himself to be hit, although not heavily. He couldn't see any opening and when he did see, he couldn't attack because if he did he would also be creating an opening for the robot, he didn't think he would survive if he was hit with one attack.
Backing up until he had almost reached the tower, Ernest turned and started running towards it, he didn't have the ability to dash or move fast as his body was barely capable of standing on its own.
He had almost gotten there.
Just some yards.
Some metres.
Good. He did it!
Ernest out his hands on his thighs and breathed heavily, he was on the verge of sigh in relaxation when he saw a shadow move over his. Turning to see what it was, although already knowing it, he saw that the dual swords man robot had jumped into the tower with triggering it unlike the other robot.
It drew back both of its daggers as he was in the air and attempted to dig them into Ernest body to get a quick kill.
Ernest gathered all the strength he had left in his body, drew out one arrow, placed it on his bow and shot it at the robot.
It was a direct head shot, and it seemed like his attack had also triggered the tower because it started firing at the robot. Unlike the robot who was still chasing while it was being shot, this one was still standing, It seemed like it had being knocked silly by that head shot.
it had snapped out of its dazes and seemed to flee before the tower turned him to ashes but Ernest wasn't going to allow it. His arrows were finished so he couldn't shoot another, the only option he had was his sword and without putting any other thought in it, he threw his sword with all his strength he could muster after his quick rest and it went straight into the chest of the robot just before it could cross over.
"[SHUT DOWN!!!]" The Announcer yelled.
Pheew. He was this close to loosing his life.
He turned to return to his base when he felt something penetrate into his body from behind.
It was another enemy robot that was lurking in the bush behind the tower. It had dived into the tower and at him using its other ally as a meat shield to back stab Ernest when he wasn't looking.
Ernest saw his HP drain like water in a basket, from green to red, only when it had reached 0 did he hear the announcer last words.
