The battle continued, soon Sam got bored of this.
These shadow guys are good, but they are too reliant on their shadow abilities and didn't focus on anything else. Their dagger skills are mediocre at best, their awareness is nowhere near elite. If not for the ambush, Arkiv could have already maintained distance.
He is not particularly good at close combat but he is still gaining upper hand as time passed and eventually he is going to win.
These guys are in fact worse than grace. At least she could land a decent hit or two on him. But there is nothing these guys could do unless Sam becomes lazy and closes his eyes and senses off completely, he wouldn't be able to do any critical damage.
He couldn't take it anymore and decided to finish the whole thing off.
