Aldrich decided that he must get rid of the shieldman first. As long as the shieldman kept protecting and the swordsman got more chances to attack he would stand no chance at this rate.
Aldrich felt his blood flowing, yet he purposefully didn't look at his wound to keep his focus on the battle.
Aldrich exchanged blows with the swordsman from time to time, he managed to land some hits but they were too shallow. Most of the time his attacks were blocked by the shieldman.
This frustrated Aldrich to no end, if he attacked the swordsman the shieldman blocked him, if he attacked the shieldman he would leave an opening for the swordsman.
He was meeting the swordsman blow for blow but if the predicament continued he would tire out and lose.
Even if he wanted to use the same strategy again to kill one of them the staircase was blocked by the husks, he was trapped here.
