The hammers cracked and the man was disoriented!
Elias expected a marshmallow of brain and blood but was surprised. He did hold back because he didn't want to instantly kill the man. But the fact the man took the hit on the head with no visible injury amazed him and wondered why.
In time, Elias turned sharp as he narrowly escaped the blade striking him. Cleave moved his hand and struck Elias too, which forced Elias to jump away from him.
Cleave sighed in relief while the first hunter didn't hold back and struck with zeal. His anger is over the top. How could they lose to a single person that wasn't even using his Cursed Item?
"Be careful!" Cleave mumbled, but then it was too late. Elias has entered the battle stage and the hunter felt chills which pause him. Hammers with spiky heads spat out from the sand and Elias moved faster than the hunter's current perception and struck hard on the body of the hunter where the hems of the blades were.
