Had it been an ordinary person, that blow would have already stripped them of their ability to fight, but these Barbarians seemed to ignore the pain, stabbing with their Short Swords from treacherous angles.
Unfortunately for them, Balistan was not fighting alone.
"Holy Light, grant me strength!"
A roar erupted as Reynard, who had remained behind Balistan, raised his Longsword, took a stance, and cleaved downwards.
Gripping the hilt with both hands, the accumulated power exploded forth, accelerating the Longsword to a terrifying speed in an instant. Even more frightening was Reynard's unwavering control over the blade's edge, as he brought it down precisely into the small gap between the Barbarian's shoulder and neck.
SHRAAACK!
The grating sound of tearing metal resounded. As Reynard withdrew his sword, a large part of the Barbarian's shoulder was cleft open, their spine severed. Regardless of their ability to ignore pain, they could only collapse.
