Undead Knights (3)

•••

Eloise had the Undead Knight in a stalemate and even as the strength behind the enemy's attack made her knees buckle ever so slightly, she managed to retain her ground while yelling behind her at the robed man she had spared by stepping in,

"Go! Get away from here!"

The robed man's eyes were widened. He had just seen his life flash before his eyes and the fact that he had only barely gotten spared shocked him so much that his reaction was delayed. But then his brain became active again. 

The pain from the gash the Undead Knight had cut across his chest began to ache again and, wincing at it, he nodded to Eloise while gritting his teeth as he crawled away. 

The Undead Knight's hollow glowing eyes flashed as it saw its kill getting away. With a massive surge of sickly deathly mana, it pushed Eloise away to take a single large step toward the escaping robed man and bring its sword down to complete the kill.
