The sword struck, barely missing the mark.
The wizard didn't relax a bit, instead becoming even more alert. Most of its attention was directed at this unknown attacker. The sword turned and twisted in the air threateningly before once again shooting towards the Wizard at breakneck speed.
The Wizard flew back several meters before stopping. It moved its hand in a semi-circle clockwise before changing the direction and repeating. A barrier visible to the naked eye surrounded it from top to bottom.
It glowed with a bright blue color in the dark, rainy night. The sword flew straight at the barrier before being pushed back. The barrier looked like an elastic egg from afar. It bent but never broke.
Just as the Wizard had relaxed, another sword joined the fray. And then another and another. In less than 5 seconds more than twelve full-length blood-red swords had surrounded the wizard from all sides, trapping it in mid-air.
