"Stop Crawling Up!"
Malcolm, clad in the armor of a black knight, charged forward, trailing black smoke behind him.
His armored fist swung viciously.
Boom! Simon easily dodged by twisting his shoulder and slid to the side, swinging his left fist.
Crack! Malcolm's head snapped back from the impact.
Yet, he managed to withstand the shock and extended his other arm.
Simon, refusing to back down, reached out with his right fist.
Thud! Crack! Their fists collided, striking each other's faces.
The sound of Malcolm's helmet and Simon's skull helmet creaking filled the air as their heads turned from the force.
"Wow!" The sudden brawl sent the audience into a frenzy.
Simon stepped back, wiping his mouth.
Malcolm appeared unscathed, but a small portion of Simon's barrier gauge had been chipped away.
Malcolm, aware of this, let out a sneer.
'Pure hand-to-hand combat won't work.' Simon's main armor was still in its early stages.
The defense of the areas covered by bones had increased, and it was possible to enhance strength using the undead core, similar to an exoskeleton suit.
In the previous Blue Harbor incident, Simon had fully utilized this feature to arm the residents with his main armor and drive away the pirates.
