The Sheikh spun his chains faster, each rotation kicking up a whirlwind of dust and dirt that filled the dimly lit room with choking debris. The metallic clinking of the chains echoed ominously, a precursor to the impending assault. Without warning, the Sheikh flung both of the chains at Ludwig with devastating speed and force.
Reacting on pure instinct, Ludwig dove to the side, narrowly evading the first chain as it whistled past his ear. In one seamless motion, he reached into his ring, pulling out one of the scimitars he had collected earlier. He brought the blade up just in time to intercept the second chain, the impact sending a jarring vibration through his arm.
The Sheikh grinned maliciously, yanking on the chain and wrenching the scimitar from Ludwig's grasp. The weapon clattered uselessly across the floor, but Ludwig barely flinched. He was already closing the distance between them.
