Grimm flung his axe once more at Godbolt as the sorcer flung Priest into the hard trunk of a huge nearby tree. Priest skull slammed against it, and he lost consciousness.
Grimm's axe sunk into Godbolt's back, and he sunk to his knees. Grimm ran at the man and retrieved his axe, driving once more into Godbolt's skull.
Godbolt was taking longer to react to each blow. He was getting slow. Grimm raised the axe once more and brought it down hard, slamming it into Gaovulte's shoulder. Gaovulte was pushed to the ground, where he squirmed out from under the axe and grabbed Grimm's leg. He pulled the Avatar of Death to the ground, and grabbed him firmly around the neck.
"You... frustrate me," Gaovulte said through gritted teeth.
Grimm broke free of his grasp and stepped back as twenty-one zombies swarmed over Godbolt, attacking him with all the force left in their dead little bodies.
Godbolt screamed. He lashed out with his all waning strength, ripping the head off whatever came near him. He reached down and grabbed a zombie who was gnawing at his leg, tearing off its head as if it were the top of a potato chip bag. Another grabbed at his arm, and he shot a fist through its skull, crushing its head.
He reached behind him and pulled one off his back bringing it down in front of himself and tearing off its head.
He screamed and lashed out to his left, grabbing the head of one zombie and using it as a club to knock the head off another to his right.
Grimm watched, and managed a chuckle as Godbolt fought through the wall of the undead.
Grimm drove the blade of his axe into Godbolt's chest when he broke free, sending him back down to the ground. Godbolt reached up and grabbed the handle of Grimm's axe, trying to tear it free of his grasp.
Grimm yanked it back.
Gaovulte stood.
Grimm swung the axe, hitting the side of Godbolt's head with the flat side of the blade. Godbolt tumbled across the ground, coming to a stop some fifteen metres away from Grimm.
He lifted a finger. "You..."
He was interrupted by the sudden and painful impact of sword piercing his back and protruding through his chest.
