Clang! Crack! Crash!
Ossa remained unmoving as William's reinforced claymore hit his blackened sternum, the sword bouncing off it, leaving a shocked and ashen-faced William stumbling back.
Ossa used that opportunity to grab William's hand, his hand which held the claymore, he grabbed it so tightly that the sound of bone breaking could be heard.
William winced in pain, as he dashed back, trying to pull his hand out of the skeleton's grip.
Clang! Richard appeared out of nowhere, delivering a concentrated aura-infused strike to Ossa's head, the sword bouncing off the skeleton's blackened skull.
"Aura blast," he muttered, a concentrated aura blast shooting out of the tip of his sword.
Boom! The blast hit Ossa squarely in the face, the force of the impact pushing his light skeleton frame back, yet he did not let go of William, still gripping tightly to his hand.
