Renee was forced to defend herself as best she could, parrying and counterattacking with all her might. The two of them were surrounded by enemies, but she was confident that she and the young man would be able to fend off the enemy if they coordinated their efforts.
They were doing well, but she knew they wouldn't be able to hold out forever. They were running out of time.
She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath as she watched the boy block an incoming swing from a hollow, then kick the thing away, leaving himself wide open. The moment he was exposed, another of the creatures lunged in, aiming a vicious strike at the Knight Commander.
She pushed her feet into the ground, taking the force of the strike, allowing the strike to glance harmlessly against the stone beneath her. As the Hollow Templar stumbled, Renee stepped in, thrusting her longsword through the creature's stomach, piercing it straight through.
