A Miracle!

Though you were just one or two more dashes away from ****, you kept on lumbering towards the assassin. Much to your surprise, as she ran towards you she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. As a matter of fact, she stood completely still, not even moving a muscle as if she was hit by a freeze spell. You stop infront of her, and you move your cleavers to your side and begin winding up Cleave. The assassin still hadn't budged, your eyes widened in anticipation.

The knight, who was getting worried yelled out: "What are you doing?! He's about to swing!". Then the assassin's voice was heard, though her mouth didn't move and neither did her body. "FREAKING LAG!"

SHINK! your cleavers swing out in a wide arc, hitting the assassin and instantly depleting her pitiful health bar. The strike severed her upper and lower half, her legs comically stumbled a few steps before falling motionless onto the floor. It had been so long since the last time you saw that animation, it felt good to get a kill again! As you turn your attention to the shocked knight, you hear a jingle that you haven't heard in an even longer time.

New Active Skill learned:

Flying Guillotine: The Hell Chef flings his cleaver in a straight line, dealing heavy damage to the first enemy struck. Has a 2 second wind up. The thrown cleaver must be manually retrieved. If the Hell chef only has a single cleaver, Chop Chop! becomes Chop! and only strikes once. If both cleavers are missing the Hell Chef is **** to use unarmed attacks

Finally! A ranged attack! That would definitely help remedy your atrocious mobility, but you would still need to be careful to not become cleaver-less during a fight. Your stats also got a small boost, still no defense through, but you can't have everything.

"He-he leveled up! Was that supposed to happen?" The knight stammers out

"Calm down dude! He's still very low. Finish him off and remember to dodge backwards when he winds up an attack. I'll meet you back at the dungeon's entrance" The assassin's disembodied voice says out.

The knight breathes in and begins walking straight towards you. You grin as you raise your cleaver and begin winding up Flying Guillotine. "Wait, he's not supposed to wind up an attack when you're that far awa-" the assassin's voice calls out again, but is interrupted by the whistling sound of your cleaver flying through the air. The knight foolishly jumps backwards, and then CRUNCH! The massive cleaver slams into him with such **** that it splits his wooden shield in half and nails his dead body to the nearby wall.

You snort out at the knight's stupidity, then you walk up to him and retrieve your cleaver. You leveled up, gained a new useful skill, and finally won a battle after so long, today was going absolutely great!
