"Follow my lead, alright?" She muttered as the Followers grabbed their daggers and maces.
The seven Followers made a circle around the two.
Instantly, five of them moved towards Syl, and the remaining two towards Akane.
"They'll try to keep you busy while they kill me." Syl whispered as she pulled back, the swung dagger cutting the air in front of her chest.
A mace was quickly approaching her head. Syl barely had the time to draw a shallow wound on the first Follower's thigh before having to dodge.
The slightly wounded Follower staggered but did not fall.
Syl spun her spear, intercepting another coming from the right. She was forced to use the butt of the spear, which powerfully collided with that Follower's ribs.
"What the hell?" Akane muttered with wide eyes. "You're good at this-"
"Stay focused." Syl whispered, and Akane immediately crouched, letting a mace pass over her.
Unable to properly use her flames at a distance, Akane decided to settle on the next best thing.
