And...I'm surrounded again. There's really a lot of them, and they sure are persistent. However, while they are really strong, my combats skills were far better. My training schedule had been called excessive by many, but it sure was paying off now. Most people tend to work primarily on their XFE Manifestations and neglect their basic combat training, looks like that goes for Wights as well.
I evaded as one drove a red energy spear towards me and then countered with a downward swing of one of my blades, slashing through his left shoulder and into his heart. I then rapidly descended as another one swung a two meter long metal blade horizontally across from behind the one I killed, slicing through the corpse and nearly taking the top of my head off.
