"Asmund, you have raised an interesting child," Erik said, and this was the first time Erik had spoken to him like a person that can think outside of fighting.
"Why did you not kill me?" Asmund asked, despite injuring Erik he knew that Erik had the advantage of durability.
"I am no longer interested in you, you have been spoiled and you smell of death…" Erik said and this did not bring as much comfort to Asmund as he thought it would.
"Hahaha! I am an old man, it is no surprise you lost interest in me," Asmund said but he wanted to know why Erik of all people chose to stay with him when anyone could have killed him.
Why were they keeping him alive, he already knew whatever he was afflicted with was too far into his system to cure at this stage so death was certain.
"Do not worry, King Asmund. I have found a new toy to play with." Erik said, and he had a perverse look in his eyes, a look that made Asmund uncomfortable.
"You can't mean…!" Asmund realized who he was talking to.
"Yes, I want Signy…" Erik responded with a sickening grin before getting to his feet the moment he saw Kjell approaching him, he used a very thin-like needle blade.
Despite the size, he could parry swords twice their size and weight with no difficulty and deliver fast blows that almost looked to be blinding.
"Erik The Berserker, move aside and I do not need to stain my blade with your tainted blood," Kjell said but Erik did not bulge, there was only one way past him and that was killing him.
"Are you deaf?" Kjell asked and the moment these words left his lips. Erik swung his ax to try and take off his head, he expected him to dodge it but somehow Kjell effortlessly parried it with his needle sword, this should not be possible.
"You are strong Erik but you are a man without technique. You are an unrefined killer," Kjell teased but Erik was unmoved.
"Did I not swing hard enough?" Erik questioned himself, but Kjell was irritated that he was not listening to him. Erik swung his ax once again and Kjell parried it once again but this time counter-attacked by piercing his chest.
"Got you now…" Erik said calmly, grabbing his sword with one hand and swinging his ax with the other, Erik's attacks were linear and relied solely on power.
Kjell had to let go of his sword to avoid this attack, this meant that he lost his weapon but he was more surprised that Erik did not fall despite stabbing his heart.
He was not stupid in thinking Erik was a god, the fact that he bled already eliminated that possibility so did he miss his heart or was there another reason?
"You cannot beat him by fighting logically. Erik is a beast that is willing to sacrifice his body if it meant taking your head." Asmund advised and Erik tossed the blade that had pierced him onto the ground before charging at Kjell instantaneously.
"H-He is fast!" Kjell thought, Erik's speed did not match his size whatsoever and he nearly caught him by surprise.
"Stay one play so I can cut you in half. Stop running around." Erik said, he was tired of Kjell being on the defensive but there was nothing he could do, he needed his sword.
This was the problem with such a weapon, it had impressive piercing prowess but he could not slash. If Erik had his heart in the normal place, he would have been dead because he could not react to the stab, all he knew was something had pierced through his skin.
"You really are a monster," Kjell reiterated a statement everyone knew.

"Tyr! Brother!" Bjorn shouted, and Tyr smiled at his older brother, he was glad that he was still alive. His eyes darted to his father and Ragnar gave him a nod of acknowledgment.
"Men! Charge!" Aksel commanded his men and they charged, the battle had begun,
In the fight for Vestfold, Askild cut down the people in his path like they were not even there.
Aksel realistically knew he could not win, he was up against the commanders of Kattegat.
There was no way he could win, Ulf was like a beast charging head first.
It felt like he wanted to die and Aksel knew that he was the one charging the momentum for some reason and knew he needed to halt his advance.
He intercepted Ulf because he knew that he could cut down their manpower.
"Who the hell are you!?" Aksel questioned, and Ulf was surprised that he was about to cross swords with a high-ranking warrior from Vestfold, he could tell because of his clothing.
"I am Ulf!" Ulf responded but Aksel had a confused look, he did not know who he was.
He was surprised that he deemed him a threat when Ragnar and the others were cutting down his men with relative ease.
"I have never heard that name before, but something is telling me to kill you, Ulf!" Aksel said, swinging his broadsword, Ulf blocked it but the sheer force and vibration shook his bones.
The reverberation was powerful, and Ulf immediately knew he could not block the swing of this man because it felt like his arms would fall off.
"What strength!" Ulf thought, his arms shaking as Aksel moved in with a vertical swing, aimed at his upper torso, Ulf bent low enough to allow it to swing over his head, simultaneously lunging forward in an attempt to counterattack before he could retract his broadsword.
"I have caught him now!" Ulf thought but he felt a foot collide with his forehead that sent him crashing backward.
"I am the most complete warrior I know, I do not just know how to fight armed but I know how to fight unarmed as well," Aksel bragged as he landed the first blow.
Birger was not an active participant, only killing the warriors that went for him, he did not go out of his way to attack anyone as his eyes watched Ulf and Ragnar.
If Ulf was going to kill Ragnar, it was going to happen here.
