The Greenskin boy who had been hit shook his head sharply, then glared at Grom.
He took a small step back, then swung the long halberd in his hands at Grom, hooking it toward him.
Judging by how he was aiming low, it looked like he was trying to trip Grom and knock him to the ground.
Halberds were pretty useful weapons.
Grom's AC clearly wasn't very high. At least, to Lin Yun, that halberd strike looked like it had only grazed him.
Maybe the boy wasn't very familiar with halberds.
Or maybe he simply didn't have the skill needed to wield one, and was swinging it using nothing but brute strength.
The halberd struck Grom's foot, cutting into the flesh of his thigh, then began to twist.
But even with the halberd wrenching into him, Grom didn't fall. Instead, he let out a roar, shouted "WAAAGH," and swung the Butchering Axe in his hands at the Orc boy in front of him.
There was nothing fancy about it. He just had to chop. This time, though, his injured thigh made him stumble a little. Even so, Grom quickly swung his axe at the Orc boy again.
This swing was undoubtedly a little weaker than the last one, but... the axe struck the Greenskin boy right in the head. It landed squarely on the wound Grom had made with his previous blow.
The Greenskin boy's skull had been hard enough to keep Grom from splitting his head open with the first strike.
But this time, the axe bit deep into the Greenskin boy's head. Grom gave the Butchering Axe a sharp tug, splitting the boy's skull open and knocking him to the ground.
"WAAAAGH!" After chopping the Greenskin boy down, Grom let out an excited roar.
