The moment the cannibal's attack connected with his sword, Duncan knew that this one was different than the others that had come before.
The force behind the blow that he was experiencing was stronger than what came from the other cannibals. Normally, his sword would have cut clean through the nails or hand when he attacked, but this time the sword was rebuffed with force.
Duncan had to struggle a bit to regain his footing from the sudden resistance he experienced. The same was true for the cannibal as well. The cannibal roared in challenge and once more attacked Duncan.
Duncan hastily evaded the blow and came up with a cut to its back. However, the cannibal was quick to react and it blocked the blow once more. Duncan frowned as he realized that this would be a long fight.
