No matter what he did, Brax couldn't defeat these two. They had looked like such weak and easy prey. He had never misjudged anyone so badly before. His next attack was blocked again and the boy slammed a fist into his stomach. The blow knocked the wind out of him and drove him to his knees as he tried to suck in air. The boy may have been strong, but he was a coward, avoiding the killing shot. "Just end me, damn it." The man wheezed between breaths. "You've taken everything else, you may as well take my life." He didn't even bother to try and grab for his axe, which had fallen out of his grasp when he had dropped to his knees.
