She didn't dodge.
A terrifying noise, bam, he steps into Atofe.
The gauntlet smashed into an awful shape.
Zanoba follows through with another step.
A big step forward, another punch at Atofe.
"Good!"
Atofe lifts up her great sword from an awkward position.
Another terrible noise, crunch, Atofe's leg twisted.
But her momentum remains, and her swing towards Zanoba.
"Grr."
Zanoba kneels in pain.
The first time I have ever seen Zanoba like this.
Zanoba doesn't even flinch when I hit him with Stone Cannon.
With a single blow...
Atofe looks over arrogantly, but a little short of breath.
"That body is not bad, but... remember. There's no perfect defense. This is what my husband Karum..."
"Hah!"
"Mm?"
While she was talking.
Using Zanoba's back as her springboard, Elinalise leaps over.
Using her momentum she aims for Atofe's throat, aiming for the exposed flesh.
But the attack and cut sound are both deflected.
Not the sound of skin.
The defense of touki.
"There's more!"
Elinalise's sword hand holds firm.
With her shield raised, she makes a sidestep and thrusts.
Invisible shock wave flies from the sword and lands on Atofe.
But Atofe looks undisturbed.
She wrinkles her brows unhappily, like sand got into her eyes.
"Your strike is weak! Fine, here, take this!"
Atofe raises up her great sword and slashes.
Elinalise steps back to avoid that swing.
"Psh!"
Hurriedly she raises her shield.
GONG. Elinalise spins around.
Elinalise rolls on the rocky ground, then pounced like a cat.
My eye sees, terror.
"But good footwork. With training at my place..."
"Aaah!"
Zanoba suddenly gets up while Atofe was talking.
More like a leap, with his hands stretched, he dives at Atofe.
"Ahh!"
Just like that, he grabs Atofe with a bear hug.
Both her hands restrained, he lifts her off the ground.
"Argh. How dare you hug me so shamelessly... Guards!"
Like a vise Zanoba holds on with all his strength. Atofe spits out black blood.
The combo worked?
No, the opponent is an Immortal Demon Lord, temporary damage won't work.
"Shisho! Now!"
"...!"
Zanoba's words confirm the situation.
Atofe is immobilized.
A chance.
"Cliff, now, go!"
With all my power injected into my staff.
An area of effect spell.
Enough to kill all the black clad soldiers at once.
"Got it!"
Cliff begins to run, the black clad soldiers surrounding us raise their swords in shock.
No, too late.
