I managed to block the first hit of the mace, but the second one from the high priestess got me in my side.
Nothing was cracked, and yet, the hit managed to send me flying into the tree. The very next second, I rolled to the side instinctively as I felt the priestess trying to hit me once more.
She was giving me no time to prepare or counter as she kept on attacking me one after the other. I had no choice but to be on the defensive.
"Tsk, do you think blocking me would make me get weaker? You are not fighting one-on-one here, kid. And it's time you learn what real despair is."
The high priestess told me, and I had seconds to dodge the blade that was thrown at me from my side.
Another monster rushed toward me and grabbed me as a third one attacked, not caring whether they would hit the monster along with me or not.
Suddenly, I realized that it was not a one-vs-one but a one-vs-many.
