The monster looked a little surprised by us attacking them a second before they supposed to attack us, but they quickly got over it and countered in the swiftest speed they could muster.
Clang!
It's thin sword slashed against mine and I felt my internal organs shake and blood came to my mouth which I had forcefully drunk back. If not for me using all the power of my swirling Armor from the beginning, I would have received the tiny internal injury.
I am still quite fine, Rachel who just clashed had directly flown back while puking lots of blood on the way. Though I am worried about her, I did not move to help her, I am sure that Rachel will able to handle that dogman.
If she didn't, there is still Ashlyn who is will save Rachel before anything serious could happen to her. So, I have to concentrate on my fight alone and leave Rachel to herself.
