These balls of light continued to grow in intensity until they were quite bright.
Once they reached this level of light, they suddenly started releasing blades of light that completely surrounded the leader.
The leader saw this and knew that this wasn't good for him.
With the way the blades of light were arranged, there just wasn't any space for him to dodge with. The only way that he could resist the blades of light was to use his weapon to cut them down.
So without any hesitation, the leader pulled out a pair of daggers that he started slashing out with all around himself.
The blades of light weren't that strong, so he was able to easily cut them down, but he knew that this array wouldn't be this simple. And he was right as the blades of light continued to grow in power.
