The thought that the soldier was a corpse worried Ning. The fact that he was armored up, having most of his weak points protected, terrified him.
How did you fight a man who had no weakness?
Ning wasn't sure at the moment. He didn't have the luxury to think either.
He dodged the sword just before it attacked him and created a barrier above it to make it harder to pull. He was about to attack back, regardless of how useful it was, when he noticed movement from the side.
He turned around and noticed another soldier coming down at him.
He created a barrier, stopping the attack right before it landed on him. The sword slammed onto the barrier and Ning went around the soldier, stabbing him in the back.
He pulled the spear out and it came out bloodless. Once again, it was not a living man at all inside of that suit, but rather a corpse.
