Chapter 20: Death

Swinging a huge double-handed broadsword, the Mercenary Corps leader struck hard at the high platform's base where Veck was standing. The base was a crucial pillar supporting the weight of the platform and seemed remarkably sturdy.

This was precisely the target the Mercenary Corps leader intended to strike. He understood well what he was engaged in, what he should and shouldn't do—a basic understanding honed from countless battles.

A moment's contemplation sparked the plan on how to deal with Veck.

Not being able to knock Veck off that platform would render any resistance fruitless, simply a waste of effort.

Furthermore, the corrosive nature of the potion in the bottles that Veck kept throwing was no longer requiring any further testing. He had witnessed its power firsthand.
