Humor aside, this was probably the most exhausting duel I had been on.
Leaping to the side to avoid a direct attack from the half-human Spawn, I had to dodge back to evade another attempt from the four-pawed one.
"Two against one," I mumbled. "Tch!"
[They're not undefeatable]

"So, uh, any words of encouragement?"
[Don't die]
"Sheesh."
[What? I'm not an embodiment of hope]
