The Orc jumped away at the last moment. Taylor pursued it to kill it, but he had to back off when it whirled around swinging its axe at him.
He continued to back off until the orc became tired and stopped. Then he dashed forward and used Power Strike together with a sword chop. The sword struck down with so much speed and strength that it felt like he had swung the sword with four arms, not one.
The orc was breathing intensely, but it managed to block his strike with an axe. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. His sword pushed the axe downwards on its chest and cut deeply into it.
Taylor wasn't content with that. He kicked the Orc and followed up with another Power Strike.
This drained his stamina far more than the previous one because he didn't give his core engine time to cool down and reset. However, his move paid off. He managed to score another hit on the shoulder of the orc.
