Multiple Steps

"We got played," Nekola gritted his teeth as he was sent flying through the air, crashing through walls as his back bore the brunt of the impact. 

He didn't know what had happened to his other comrades, but one thing was for sure: they were all wounded by that surprise attack. 

No matter how strong a hunter was, they were still human. 

Without conscious effort to protect themselves, their bodies would be susceptible to damage.

Drawing his sword mid-air, he slammed it into the ground to break his fall. 

The blade tore through the floor, sending sparks flying as he finally came to a stop. 

He knelt on the floor, gasping for breath, his body trembling from the impact.

"BUAHHHHH!" he vomited violently, blood bursting from his lips as the adrenaline faded. His body convulsed with each heave, blood splattering against the cracked floor.
