Aldrich felt his foe's power in that one exchange and narrowed his eyes, the demi-human was indeed strong, he was truly a level three creature.
Aldrich needed to finish it off as soon as possible, the others had the upper hand now but as time passes more bandits would regain their composure.
The demi-human attacked in a barrage it didn't slow down even when it's attacks were deflected one after another, in fact his attacks got even faster.
Aldrich used the Waves stance to negate the distance disadvantage between the sword and the spear but it wasn't exactly working out as he was forced into a defensive position.
The demi-human was an experienced warrior and his attacks were varied and he even used his wings to surprise Aldrich and block his sight.
But Aldrich was no amateur, he charged forward instead of retreating and used the attack to his advantage, to flip over the extended wing and in the air he cut off that wing.
