Emilia's slender sword barely managed to block the jester's attack at the last moment with his dagger. Meanwhile, the jester not only parried Emilia's strikes but also kicked me hard in the stomach, pushing me away from the fight. It was probably a smart move to keep me out since he didn't want to fight two people at once, but it would be tough to do anything with my injured body.
I leaned against the tree behind me and started watching Emilia's fight with the jester. If I joined the fight now, I would only be a burden to Emilia. Therefore, I needed to come up with a plan to defeat the jester... But where should I start?
Seeing blood dripping from the top of Emilia's head and seeing her in pain, even though it was hard to notice from a distance... No, Ethan, focus! Control your emotions.
