The helpers quickly rushed towards the five guards. Four helpers attacked, while two stayed back to protect Richard. These helpers were copies of Sebastian, so they were just as strong as him, who was a tier-2 Thespian.
Even if only one helper had fought, the guards wouldn't have stood a chance. However, with all the helpers joining in, the battle was going to end in seconds instead of minutes.
One helper ducked under a guard's wild sword swing, retaliating with a swift swing of its own that cut the guard's face in half.
Another helper caught a blade between its palms, wrenching the weapon away and turning it on its owner in one smooth motion.
After even three seconds had not passed, two guards were already dead.
Richard watched in fascinated horror as Sebastian's clones used their short swords with deadly precision.
