Bab 1198: Chapter 1197: Fiend's Galore (5)

As I tilted my head to the side to avoid the blood blade that streaked towards me, the Fiend continued to press down even as Anput's blade sang towards her back, leaving herself seemingly undefended.

That swift burst of hot pain as the blood blade sliced into my cheek was bearable as I stared into the Fiend's eyes and hissed "Gonna have to do better than that Fiend!", though as Anput's attack was blocked the Fiend hissed back "Oh I will..."

Suddenly she retreated from me, yanking her blade back and attempting to pull me forwards as the blood that had latched onto my shield pulled away alongside her, dragging me forwards a step and making it hard to prepare for the blood blade that had flipped back around and was coming for my head again.
