Karl's blade twirled, creating a field of fire from [Flaming Body] that acted as a shield as the Ogres launched their first attacks.
Two rapid steps to the side, and Karl used [Shred] to launch an attack at the flank of his closest opponent. The skill only cut a shallow line in the thick hide of the Ogre, but it stretched across its back, which would make every swing ache.
The other Ogre hurled a spear at Karl too fast for him to dodge, but the obsidian head of the weapon slammed into his armour with a clang, while the outer shell of [Flaming Body] was pierced, but under that [Eternal Lightning] was only vibrating, and then the spear was tossed to the ground.
Karl stomped on the spearhead, shattering the fragile stone so it couldn't be reused, and let a cruel laugh escape the confines of his helmet.
