Three seconds may seem momentary, but for warriors fighting for their lives, it's the difference between life and death.
With the last dredges of her strength, Tina lunges forward, her spear tip piercing through the air with a high-pitched shriek aimed at Swirl's abdomen.
Swirl instinctively tries to lift her spear to parry.
But to her astonishment, she found herself out of control, unable to lift even a pinky finger!
Thud!
The spear impales Swirl's abdomen, her substantial inertia carrying her through the air and eventually being pinned to the ground by Tina.
Swirl's Unicorn mount, unprepared for this sudden turn of events, lets out a terrified neigh.
It rushes to cast [Healing Skill] on Swirl while trying to attack Tina with its sharp horn.
But it's useless.
Tina pulls her spear from Swirl's body and drives it through the Unicorn's chest with a "Spinning Spear" attack.
