Although the burly, tough Mo'arg brutes were taking the blows, there was no way to turn the situation on Mardum around.
Mere Mo'arg brutes only meant a few extra swings for Ulthalesh.
And if Ulthalesh fired sword energy, it could still cut them down in swathes.
No matter how many more Mo'arg brutes came, they could not change anything.
In the end, they were just a bunch of big fellows who could take a beating!
The livestream of Ulthalesh's killing spree had already been shut off.
That meat-grinder battle was nothing but savage slaughter, charging and crashing about, and did not suit High Elf tastes.
Only Orcs would enjoy such bloody, brutal combat with no skill involved whatsoever.
Xal'atath's fighting style near the tower, on the other hand, was very much to the High Elves' liking.
Against Felguards that were not much larger, it slit their throats with a single stroke, or circled behind them and stabbed into their hearts.
A heavily curved dagger was certainly less suited to a Backstab than a straight one.
Thus, weapons with such sharply curved blades were more often used to slit enemies' throats with their edges.
Constrained by the limitations of the weapon itself, Xal'atath's close-combat style was set in stone.
It could only nimbly close in on enemies to engage them and swiftly reap their lives.
With its absolute advantages in speed and sharpness, it could become the bane of non-tank classes.
But those thick-skinned, tough opponents were more of a headache.
When their armor and hide were thicker than the length of the blade, even driving it all the way in could not inflict effective damage.
One example was a meat-shield demon like a Mo'arg brute, with the build of a full-fledged giant.
After Xal'atath pierced that thick Felsteel Armor, only
