    Stu''s bodynguage was a lot different than it was moments ago, he was surprised that this man was this strong but what was more puzzling was Gissur''s strength.


    He feltpletely different than when they fought, there was no way he could have touched Gissur if he fought him seriously because what he was feeling from him was like someone opened up an endless abyss of bloodlust.


    It was hard to breathe, Tyr could feel the tension, this battle felt different from all the battles he had fought until now.


    "Are you going to choke again, Tyr?" Gissur questioned, noticing he had just saved his life even in his frozen state which was impressive because he knew the tension would be too much for most to handle because these were men that craved blood at an unprecedented level.


    "I am good…" Tyr said, dropping his sledgehammer on the ground after noticing that this weapon of choice was not working for him but only weighing him down.


    But this wasn''t the only thing he dropped, he removed the multipleyers of clothes he wore during his travel.


    "What are you doing?" Gissur questioned him but Tyr did not respond to him as he took a deep breath and his concentration peaked as he equipped both his axes.


    Stu was amazed, he noticed the change in Tyr, the fear had disappeared but something was unsettling about his eyes.


    It looked nk, it was like he was looking at Stu but through him.


    Gissur expected the boy to give a n to attack but Tyr simply charged at Stu without saying a word to Gissur, prompting him to sigh.


    *Do not get carried away or you will die…" Gissur said as he observed what Tyr wanted to do.


    He did not even rush in to support him, he watched just what Tyr had in mind because Tyr did leave him to fight Stu alone momentarily so you could think of this as payback.


    Tyr was within range of Stu, and all it took was a blink from the older warrior for Tyr to disappear from his line of sight.


    This did not mean Stu was not aware of where he wanted to strike from because Tyr''s shadow betrayed him.


    Stu blocked his strike as he tilted his head to the left to see Tyr, he certainly was fast but his strength was looking. He noticed that Tyr brought his other ax to strike from below, this strike was aimed at Stu''s finger that held the weapon.


    The fact that the hand targeted not only had his de between them but was locked in with Tyr''s axe. This severely dulled his response time because, in terms of speed, Tyr had the edge.


    There was only one way he was not going to lose his fingers and that was letting his de go.


    He dropped his de and moved backward but Tyr kicked the falling de right at him, giving him little to no time to catch his breath.


    Stu pped the iing de that was about to take off his head with the back of his hand, thanks to the metallic tes there.


    But he lost sight of Tyr once more and all he felt was a sweeping kick from below that left him falling.


    Tyr had actually managed tond a move on him, and he stole a page right out of Gissur''s book.


    Gissur was nothing short of amazed and frightened by how fast Tyr was developing but he knew better. <novelsnext></novelsnext>


    There was no way a warrior as experienced as Stu would fall for the same trick twice.


    And he was right, the momentarypse of concentration from Tyr was all Stu needed to grab both his wrists before he could even move them.


    Tyr struggled to break free but it was futile, this was a man that could easily overpower Njal and was on the same level as Gissur.


    "I cannot kill you but I can break you…" Stu said and began squeezing away at his wrists.


    He wanted to break them like he did Njal but a flying kick from Gissur forced him to break his contact with Tyr to block it. The kick sent him skidding backward in the snow.


    "You are starting to annoy me, Gissur…" Stu said as he dusted himself, and re-equipped his de.


    "Right back at you! Why don''t you just die?" Gissur mocked, before looking at Tyr.


    "We are even now," Gissur said as he returned his concentration to Stu who had controlled the narrative of this battle.


    Stu was not in any hurry to end the battle either because he knew what killing Gissur would mean but he also knew that Gissur was dangerous.


    He never once underestimated him but he also found it impressive that Tyr did not attempt to use his weapons to attack his lower body.


    "He must have sensed it…" Stu thought to himself, he was growing wary of Tyr and was beginning to understand just why Signy wanted him.


    They all charged at each other and after a series of blows and exchanges, Stu began to realize that Tyr''s movement was bing more and more irregr, making it harder for him to defend against them as he had Gissur to contend with.


    If he could kill him, it would have made everything a whole lot easier but he could not and that limited the course of action he could take and it was hard to kill Gissur as well.


    Stu knew this would drag on for far too long if it continued at this pace, he had to gamble.


    Stu blocked Tyr''s axes aimed at taking off his head with the back of his hands right before nting a powerful kick into the side of his head that was certain to take him out ofmission.


    Tyr was sent flying like a rag doll, and Gissur tried to exploit this opening but there was none.


    Stu had grown ustomed to his fighting style, Gissur brought down his de like an executioner with a wide grin on his face because Stu could not use his sword to defend this strike.


    It was going to be a clean hit and because of this through, Gissur used his full strength so he could cut him in half but Stu send his clenched fist crashing into his elbow, this snapped his arm into two, breaking it as Stu used his attack against him.


    Gissur''s de dropped to the ground as Stu tackled him to the ground and wrapped both his hands around his neck.


    Gissur fought in vain but there was only so much he could do with a single arm.


    "It''s over, Gissur… You can rest now,"
