The momentum of the battle shifted soon after that.
Samael was pushed back multiple times by the Draken twins. He started losing ground. And in under a minute, his situation went from bad to worse.
Alice struck high, her fiery sword crashing down with impressive force.
Samael raised his newly stolen spear to block, and the impact reverberated down his arms.
But Willem was already moving, his axe cleaving low, aimed for Samael's legs.
The Theosbane twisted to narrowly avoid the strike, but it left him exposed.
And Alice was there to take advantage of that vulnerability.
The pommel of her sword slammed into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him.
Samael staggered back, gasping, but managed to somehow avoid her follow-up slash by getting away just in time.
"Not so smug now, are you?" Alice sneered.
Samael gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his face.
