They didn't hesitate just because he was stronger. They attacked at the same time.
Harvey charged first, shield raised, axe glowing with mana. He slammed forward with full force, aiming to crush Vaelrik head-on.
Derrick vanished from sight again, slipping into Kalrik's blind spot like a shadow.
Lucien thrust his spear forward, lightning crackling wildly around it.
Kaelra rushed from the opposite side, her sword wrapped in wind mana, cutting through the air. Mira released her arrow.
Twang!
The arrow screamed through the battlefield, aimed straight at Kalrik's head.
Amon followed behind, darkness coating his sword and his shadow wrapped around his hatchet as he dashed forward.
Six attacks. While the target was a single person.
Vaelrik laughed. "Good! Good!" He lazily held his sword. Then he moved. He spun his blade in a wide arc.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
Harvey's axe was deflected. Kaelra's sword was pushed aside. Lucien's spear was knocked off course.
