The first strike repelled the weapon, the second left a wound.
Master Yang and all the other melee fighters had their defenses broken and then were penetrated by four in a necessary evil's supersonic precision targeting. If it wasn't for the application of a "blood-locking" undead pact by the Demon Eight Elites beforehand, this single strike would have resulted in four instant kills.
Seeing this scene, Master Yang immediately shook his head, discarded his heavy sword, and in a reverse grip drew out two single-handed swords of different lengths, charging forward. The clanging "iron forging" sounds attempted to trap Sir Morphy, who was poised to charge again, while the shield holders covered the injured melee fighters, retreating to a safe zone.
But immediately there was a problem with this retreat!
Once space was freed, a desolate howl of a wolf resonated across the battlefield.
