บท 637: Annihilation - Part 4

For an ordinary man, that slight opening would have been a prime opportunity to get an attack in. Against Oliver Patrick, it was a death sentence.

His whole body felt as though it was floating on air. Every action he took exploded with profundity. The early entry to the Third Boundary lent him a flow that he would normally not be able to tap into on his own.

Three slightly off-centre spears, with eyes off-centre, and with a sweep of his blade, a sudden tensing of his back, and a rapid turn of his hips, Oliver used his strength to send them staggering. The first man stumbled into the second, who stumbled into the third, rendering the left side all but ineffectual.

Oliver then focused his attentions on the right. He slipped past the thrust that came for him when the middle man recovered his senses, and he ran his sword down the length of the spear, keeping it in place whilst he closed the distance between himself and the man.
