The fact that his blade had managed to slice through Ray's gauntlets meant he wielded a higher-tier weapon. If all three of these enemies were as strong as this man, survival was nearly impossible. Ray quickly glanced over at Gary to see how he was holding up.
Gary was engaged in a relentless battle with the dual swordsman. Sparks flew as their blades clashed repeatedly, each impact ringing through the air. Gary had no time to breathe, no moment to regroup. He was doing well to hold his ground, but minor scratches were beginning to accumulate. If this dragged on any longer, those small injuries would build up and ultimately cost him the fight.
The fact that Gary could block his opponent's strikes at all meant that the dual swordsman wasn't as powerful as the first man who had attacked Ray. That confirmed it—Ray's own opponent was likely the leader of the group.
