Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 922: Chapter 496, How to Win a Match? _2

His Powered Sword in hand actually wasn’t as fast as Kalduce. That meant every time he slashed, Kalduce could either dodge or block, still with enough strength left to counter Cao Boyang.

Kalduce also had to hold back, not using his full strength against the enemy, since the Terminator Power Armor was solid enough that if he failed to deliver a fatal blow, he would lose his agility advantage and couldn’t block or evade Cao Boyang’s next attack. Such a powerful and heavy strike from the Terminator would immediately cost him dearly.

Despite this, every shallow attack from the Power Axe was terrifying when accumulated.

The spectating Erso clenched his fists tightly.

No matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, Erso believed that in this duel, the Fury Flame Battle Group had lost.

Within the Battle Group, Cao Boyang, one of the best warriors and the Company Commander, had been defeated. If this were a normal duel, it would be at the point where conceding would be acceptable.

However, this was not a normal duel, but a blood fight to the death.

What does a blood fight to the death mean? It doesn’t end until the blood runs dry, and the person dies.

There has to be a complete death for it to end.

Even if he was reluctant to accept the death of his old comrade and brother, there was nothing he could do now. In a duel observed by all, he couldn’t interfere without trampling the honor of the Battle Group underfoot.

He could only watch helplessly as his brother sustained more and more injuries, growing increasingly immobile and sluggish, much like a wounded, bleeding bull in a bullfight that becomes more enraged yet weaker.

Eventually, the defeat Erso had foreseen came.

But the slight hope he harbored never materialized, as Kalduce, feeling it was about time, stopped ‘playing.’ Cao Boyang’s movements had slowed significantly, especially after a heavy blow where his Powered Axe pierced through the back of his left knee, causing a limp; another axe blow slid during a clashing and cut at the junction of his wrist guard and iron glove, making it harder for Cao Boyang to wield his Powered Sword.

Additionally, his left hand’s heavy bomb rotating machine gun was almost useless in such close-quarters combat, at most serving to block and provide a slight threatening effect with the heavy bomb, which was better than nothing.

Now, three out of Cao Boyang’s four limbs were either disabled or had very limited effectiveness.

At this point, Kalduce finally felt it was secure enough to go for the kill.

This time, it was Kalduce’s attack that led.

In fact, after his knee and wrist suffered heavy blows, Cao Boyang hardly launched any attacks, not even trying passive movements, just waiting for Kalduce to come forward.

Then let it come.

Kalduce brought his axe down towards Cao Boyang’s head.

Cao Boyang of course tried to block it.

However, just a moment before the axe struck, Kalduce simply changed direction and Cao Boyang could no longer keep up.

Or rather, his eyes, his consciousness could keep up, but his body, his damaged Terminator Power Armor could not.

With this, Kalduce’s Power Axe solidly, with utmost force, chopped into the inner side of Cao Boyang’s elbow.

Amputation!

The highly durable outer armor of the Terminator’s elbow wasn’t so easily shattered, but the axe cutting from the inside undoubtedly severed Cao Boyang’s arm.

Agonizing pain, but Cao Boyang, as a top-notch warrior himself, simple pain couldn’t rob him of his combat ability. With his other arm, he threw a fierce punch at Kalduce while also firing the hanging heavy bomb.

It seemed to be his prepared counterattack for a desperate situation; he no longer cared if the heavy bomb would also injure himself. He wanted to fire at close range while Kalduce was fully committed to cutting off his arm, even if it meant perishing together!

Kalduce was slightly surprised internally; Cao Boyang’s resolution indeed exceeded his expectations.

But it was meaningless.

He quickly kicked out, causing Cao Boyang to stagger back two steps, while Kalduce used the momentum to retreat five or six steps away.

He dodged, and though a step slower, Cao Boyang didn’t give up. He tried to shift the gun barrel to fire at Kalduce. But in the next moment, Kalduce charged back in, his axe severing Cao Boyang’s left arm as well.

With both arms lost, Cao Boyang had no remaining final moves.

In desperation, he lunged forward with his head, appearing to attempt a headbutt as a final resistance. But it looked more like he was presenting his head under Kalduce’s axe.

One axe split the helmet, and another split his head in two.

The Company Commander of the First Company of the Fury Flame Warband, arguably the second most important figure in the Battle Group next to the Battle Group Leader, died like that.

The 800 warriors of the Fury Flame Battle Group — now 799 — watched as Kalduce, clad in Red Armor, stood with his foot on the respected old Company Commander’s corpse, raising his axe and roaring towards the sky.
