Faced with such a sudden turn of events, Ethan was taken aback, swiftly sidestepping the barbarian's attack.
It was a close call for Ethan.
Although the brute's strength was no match for his, the unexpected nature of the assault, coupled with Ethan's somewhat playful attitude towards the barbarian, had led to a moment of carelessness.
It was a hair's breadth escape from the swing of the axe, a truly perilous moment.
Nevertheless, Ethan, though startled, managed to dodge the attack.
He hadn't anticipated such a move from the barbarian.
While it was a close shave, for Ethan, it only added an element of intrigue to the situation.
At that moment, the barbarian had already tumbled to the ground.
Unquestionably, it was a heavy fall, akin to a dog biting the dust.
This time, the fall was even more severe than the last.
However, the axe remained firmly clutched in his hand.
