Gauss steadied one foot on the unmoving back of the giant rat, a cold glint flashing from the rapier in his hand as he once more precisely penetrated its chest.
Withdrawing the sword, he flicked off the dirty blood.
His gaze swept across the wrecked battlefield.

She took out a towel to wipe the sticky bloodstains from her cheeks.
Recalling the brief but fierce battle moments ago, she still looked at Gauss with some amazement.
This close combat performance was even more like a swordsman than an actual swordsman.
