"You are right and wrong at the same time, old man" he said with a glint as he directed the sword too the two archers, slicing them both in half with ease.
'WOAH, it seems like using the spell is more powerful than my own strike. At least my previous strike.' He thought as the sword slowly drifted back towards him covered in blood.
"I do have my weapon" He said as he charged forward, leaving his sword in a ready position to do a side swing.
The tall barbarian yelled commands at his remaining 7 subordinates.
"Gary, use your shield to pin him in one direction and Alex, use your small dagger to use a surprise attack." HIs voice was loud and rushed.
Andrew took note of their plan, that was one of the many flaws that came with communication. Andrew was thrown a little out of balance after hearing his friends name, but quickly returned to normal as he steadied himself.
Gary rushed froward with his shield to try and guide him left, But Andrew was having none of that as he used his large amount of dexterity to jump over the large shield at an unaware guard, stabbing his sword through his torso and giving it a twist.
Gary turned and slammed his shield down on Andrews leg, causing him to fall over and stumble onto the ground.
'Item transport' He activated his spell on Gary's shield and it wouldn't budge, at least until Gary lessen his grip a little. The shield didn't fly nearly as fast or rather. It didn't fly at all as it tilted off of Andrews leg, giving him freedom.
He used his other leg to thrust himself forward into the clear as the only backline they had was the two archers. Reeling up on his two feet he returned to a ready stance as he stared at the remaining 6 once more.
He rushed forward towards Gary who was looking at him with confusion. Who in their right mind would rush at a shield wielder.
But Andrew had a different plan in mind, upon reaching Gary he saw the Lead barbarian swing his large axe at Andrew with an absurd amount of force. Andrew used this opportunity to swing diagonally with all of his body, causing him to slouch just under the imposing attack. But his sword did not go untouched as his swing collided with the barbarians arms, slicing one of them off and leaving a large gash in the second one.
Andrew did not even have time to complain as he had to back off from an upcoming attack coming from Cliff. Jumping over Gary to avoid being cornered by the oncoming assassin from behind him.
'It really sucks that they can think at a minor level.' Andrew complained as he returned to his starting location. Sword pointed at the ground
Turning back around he saw one of the two assassins already behind him. They were actually a little bit faster than him as he ducked an oncoming jab. Andrew kicked forward at the assailant causing a grunt to spew from the assassin's mouth. This was short lived as Andrew thrusted his sword upwards, impaling their chest. Blood spewed from his mouth as it fell onto Andrew's shirt, after withdrawing his sword he found Cliff and Gary both rushing at him in unison.
Gary leaned into his sword with intent to slam into Andrew, who just sidestepped the large shield. But it seems that this was the path they wanted him to take as Cliff's blade was already swung towards him. Andrew tried to dodge but wasn't left unscathed this time as Cliff's blade left a large gash on his left arm. Blood fell out of the wound periodically as he watched his arm coat in a sheet of red.
Andrew bounced away from the blade once more and turned to Gary who was repositioning his shield. Raising his blade towards the unguarded shieldman, slicing down on his shoulder. The blade made contact with the shieldman and sliced of his arm, causing an agonized scream to ring through the air. Andrew had little time to finish the job as Cliff attacked him again. Backing away from the strike Andrew regained his composure and saw the second assassin behind him, threatening to slice his neck.
'Item transport' He casted Item transport on the blade as it neared his neck. With the lighter target the blade was easily repelled and Andrew used this chance to pierce his sword into the surprised assailant.
Andrew watched as the person Infront of him evaporated and he turned to see his remaining 5 opponents, two without an arm.
'Man this is taking a while' He thought as he tried to think of a way to end this quickly, but didnt think of much. His only option was to use item transport on his sword, but that would leave him defenseless to most attacks, especially if they are faster than him.
Making a decision he threw his sword forward towards the lead barbarian, using item transport to repel the blade from him. Allowing it to speed up an absurd amount, the sword sadly didnt go unnoticed. But it didn't matter, with the speed up the lead barbarian could barely react and it slammed into his chest. Cracking of rib bones could be heard as the sword passed through him with great force, leaving a gaping hole in the middle of his chest.
Andrew smiled at this and ran forward to keep the sword in range of his spell and guided it towards Cliff.
Cliff was obviously the smartest one here, so he needed to take him out as soon as possible. Cliff obviously had his eyes on the flying sword as he had watched his leader get pulverized by the oncoming missile. But he didn't notice Andrew running towards him at full speed as he felt a kick to his stomach. Nocking the air out of him, as he was pushed back. His last moments of sight was a sword flying straight towards his head.
Andrew watched as his sword slammed into Cliffs head, making it explode everywhere. He had no time to be disgusted about the situation as he turned towards Gary to do the same thing. Gary seemed to have realized the pattern and coward behind his shield, hoping to block the oncoming sword.
'Yeesh, an attempt at least' Andrew guided his sword around the shield and watched blood fly out from behind it, indicating death.
There were only two pitiful guards who have barely even moved since the start, one was holding a shield and the other another longsword.
"Man, a sword is getting quite boring." Andrew commented as he ran forward towards the man with the longsword.
He guided his flying sword towards the guy with the shield, flying around him and stabbing him in the back.
It seems his entire job was to protect their leader, but he failed at that.
Lastly was the guy in front of him. Andrew raised his right arm to punch the man but he was dodged easily and the knight was preparing to swing at him.
"Got ya" Andrew smiled as a sword slammed into the man's side.

Floor (2,9) cleared.

Would you like to continue?

"No" he said without any hesitation, his left arm had rendered it useless and pain radiated throughout his arm.
[I think you should get some regen skill, if this place even has any.]
"No shit sherlock" Andrew retorted, gripping his open wound as the metal door opened in front of him. The afternoon sun shining through the opening causing him to cover his eyes.
Andrew walked forward towards the nurses office, retracing his steps from when he got a blood transfer. Opening the door revealed almost nothing, no medication or ointment, just large packages of wrapping bandages.
[...Yea, healing is a must.]
".... I think so too." Andrew said as he looked down at his hands.
