After Wedan's attack, the paladins fought back, but part of the palace was destroyed. As the floor collapsed beneath us, I jumped out of the nearby window to prevent a surprise attack from the paladins. I hoped that by attacking them unexpectedly from the outside, I could help my allies. But things didn't work out the way I thought they would.
As I jumped out the window, a paladin followed me. I was surprised by how quickly he moved over the collapsing floor. In mid-air, he swung his sword at me from behind. I countered with my sword and we clashed as we fell towards the ground.
The paladin's sword was made entirely of crystal. I wasn't sure if it was magical, but I could feel its defensive power. When we were close to the ground, the paladin swung his sword with great force. I blocked the blow with my sword but landed hard on the ground. Even though he was floating in the air, he was able to swing his sword very strongly.
