At first glance, the so-called Centurion's stance was riddled with openings.
Colin tentatively stepped forward and swung his sword.
However, the Skeleton Centurion reacted with extreme speed. It precisely parried the tip of Colin's sword with a backhanded block from its Bronze Wrist Guard, while the Bronze Short Sword in its other hand thrust forward without a moment's hesitation.
"My turn!"
Kase roared, raising his Shield to block the strike. He barely managed to deflect the thrusting Short Sword and simultaneously swung his Battle Axe in a fierce backhand chop at his opponent's scapula.
Just as Colin was adjusting his footing to attack again, Kase staggered. The Half-Orc's massive body slammed into him, forcefully shoving him aside.
'A Half-Orc would never do something to hinder a companion,' Colin thought. 'The Skeleton's Power must be immense. It shoved Kase into me with just one arm.'
