Part 12
“You’ll fight me because I insisted on it, because I enjoy this kind of thing even more than my companions.” Helemia told her with a grin as she stood up and Translocated out of her armor. “And I’ll fight all twenty of you at once, with no magic, and no psionic holds or attacks. You’ll fight the same way. If any of you tries to cheat by using magic or psionics against me, I’ll do the same to you, and I bet you won’t like that a bit!
“And just to keep things fair, I’m fighting you without my armor or my shield or my good weapons, since they have a lot of permanent magical enhancements. Just this.” she giggled as she held up a knife with a fifteen centimeter blade. “You can all use whatever you’ve got for weapons or armor.”
“You must be insane.” a male Sylvan said as he drew his sword.
“We’ll know in a moment, won’t we?” Helemia laughed. “Whenever you’re ready.”
The Sylvan gave a snarl and chopped down at her with his sword. Helemia merely side-stepped just enough that the sword brushed her clothing as it whistled by and struck the ground, and poked him with her knife over his heart hard enough to draw a drop of blood.
“That’s it for you.” she laughed as he winced and stepped back, clutching his chest to assess the damage. “I’d have stabbed you through the heart if I wanted to.”
“Get her!” the Sylvan yelled as he attacked again, and the twenty converged. They largely got in each other’s way, as only six of them at most could directly attack her at once without hitting each other.
She danced among them, her expression grim as her concentration focused, and she set to disarming them with strikes on their hands. She had to deal out a few other blows and mild cuts as she did so to avoid injury, but most of her defense was dodging, deflecting, and blocking. She moved through them at their knee level so quickly and unpredictably that none managed an effective strike against her. When she’d disarmed them by disabling one of their hands, they picked up their weapon in their other hand and kept coming. She had to disarm most of them at least twice before the combat came to an end, with all of them standing in a circle around her with their weapons on the ground and their bleeding and broken hands held awkwardly before them. Though it had only lasted for four minutes, all of them were panting and sweating, including Helemia.
