Arad was trying his best to dodge the storm of violence Nina was throwing at him. Each of her strikes, moves, and charges had significantly changed by now. She had even started throwing feints and setting traps for him to open his guard.
He had never expected a heavy battleaxe to be that nimble or versatile. Nina used the blade to slash, the back end of the shaft to pierce, and the flat to smash. And unlike most fighters, she wasn't shy of using all of her limbs in combat. She used both her hands and feet to grapple and shift her weight. Arad counted countless times when she stepped on his foot to hold him down or grabbed him into a tight hold to stab him with the shaft or try to bite his nose off.
But… luckily for Arad, he didn't need to worry about the axe's enchantments because as long as she doesn't hit him, he won't bleed. The axe she is swinging is just a weapon after all. And a weapon designed for slaughter, it works better against large numbers of enemies.
