Everything seemed to have turned for the better when Elidyr's sword pierced the chest of the hooded leader, but the joy was short-lived, as only seconds later, the stabbed man began to laugh hysterically.
He moved with such freedom despite being stabbed by Elidyr that he didn't seem to have suffered any damage at all. Noticing his confusion, the hooded leader stopped laughing and, looking at Elidyr, asked rhetorically, "Did you think you had won?"
Seconds later, he laughed mockingly again, and while Elidyr was dismayed, the leader of the men from Purgatory took a step back and pulled out the sword lodged in his chest.
Although this took Elidyr by surprise, he wasn't worried about the man stepping away, as he was sure he had injured him. What he didn't understand was how the man could keep moving so calmly and vigorously.
