A Brother's Sacrifice

The battlefield had turned into chaos as Astaroth stepped up against Kro'Han for the final time, buying precious moments for Ashton to charge his [Revenge Strike] skill.

Since Ashton had accumulated an ungodly amount of damage, it was taking a while. Besides, considering Ashton's lousy health situation, Astaroth decided to buy him as much time as he possibly could. 

With a wave, Astaroth called Raphael in his hands, which also freed Kro'Han from his agony. While the move seemed unnecessary at first, Astaroth knew with his trusty sword by his side, his chances of survival doubled. 

With sword gleaming in the dim moonlit sky, Astaroth charged towards Kro'Han. The Precursor sensed the attack coming and struck Astaroth. 

However, Astaroth dodged and weaved through Kro'Han's relentless attacks. The god-like being, now with only one eye remaining, bore the scars of a previous encounter with Astaroth, who had deftly taken out the other eye.
