Enzo and Matilda engaged in a strategic retreat towards the spaceship, fully aware that if they could board the vessel and leverage its armament systems, they might just be able to turn the tide of the battle.
As they neared the spacecraft, a cloaked figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, brandishing a blade emitting an eerie black glow, and lunged towards Matilda, who was preoccupied with fending off foes advancing from the front line, completely unsuspecting of the unexpected assault.
"Matilda, beware!" Enzo, witnessing the peril, brimming with urgency, swiftly maneuvered to intercept the oncoming blade, his silhouette materializing beside Matilda in a flash.
With a swift "hiss." the blade sliced through Enzo's forearm, crimson blood instantaneously trickling forth. Seizing the opportunity, Enzo forcefully pushed back the assailant with a well-placed kick, shielding Matilda from harm.
"Enzo, you're wounded!" Matilda cried out in anguish.
