Seeing the weapon swiping towards my head, I was already too invested in my attack, I simply had to rely on my armour to tank the blow. Her feint struck first and the sheer force of the blow made me reel to the side.
All it took for Nerissa to evade my strike was a simple torso movement and to follow up on her sudden advantage, she kneed me in the stomach, using my own momentum against me. The sudden blows happened with such speed, I was still reeling backwards and yet another strike from her sword was once more descending upon me.
My body flared up its instincts, the faint already left a deep gash across my helmet, a full power attack would penetrate deep. Bringing Zircon into a half-sword, I just barely got her up in time for the two swords to collide.
