The next heavy blow from the Clannfear sent Bardeck skidding. He'd barely gotten his shield up in time, and his arm throbbed from having to block so many hard hits. The Daedra was not unscathed though, having taken three minor hits from Bardeck's axe. The young man gritted his teeth, holding his shield before him and his axe out ready to strike whenever he deemed he needed to. Similarly, the Clannfear regarded him with hate filled eyes, but stayed back intelligently as if studying the young human. Moments later, it suddenly began to pace to and fro, letting out a clicking growl as it stalked its potential prey, trying to goad Bardeck into a sense of worry and anxiety. It had no idea what it was getting itself into. Bardeck began to approach it cautiously, his Axe head now pointed at the beast as if in challenge, feet stepping carefully and steadily, always in stance. The Clannfear waited with its head swaying like a striking snake, using its striking claw as a feint before it attempted to whirl and trip Bardeck with its powerful tail. The warrior saw the trick for what it was, ducking and waving out his shield to block the club-like tail strike. The Clannfear saw his shield out wide, and snapped downwards at Bardeck's exposed face, only for it to forget its own face was also exposed. An Axe head swung from the ground up, burying itself into the Clannfear's chin and neck. Hot blood seeped out of its wound as the life fled from the Daedra's eyes, and the beast fell over dead. The Daedra's body pushed forward, and with a great warcry, Bardeck heaved the dead weight of the Daedra, pitching it over him and onto the ground. The warrior stood up, yanking his Axe from the beast's head and casually spitting on its corpse for good measure. He went off in search of more foes, keeping an eye out for Gideon.
