Bab 679: Adonis

With her dagger being blocked at the last moment, Shiro immediately understood that it was going to be hard to sneak in some small attacks against this commander. To win, she'd need to disarm him of his spear.

With that goal in mind, she flicked her dagger up and reached for the handle of his spear.

Using it as a pole, she swung her body in front of him and wanted to knee him in the chin.

Unfortunately for her, his armour was rather sharp in areas and the chin was one of those areas.

Halting her attack due to the fact that she would disable her leg if she continued, her next best bet was to stab him in the shoulder area where the armour is slightly exposed.

Catching her dagger, she wanted to stab towards him but he pushed out with his spear, launching Shiro into the air such that it was risky to hold onto the weapon.
