Nikolai hadn't fought a Djinn before, nor did he realise just how much advantage extra arms could bring in a melee brawl. He focused on Verda's movements, ensuring he didn't blink or miss the moment she rushed at him.
But couldn't ignore the whispered voices of the Shadow Guard who vanished from around the table, making room for a fight the instant Verda shouted.
"Oh god, Captain is doing it again."
"Shh! You know she dotes on the Vice-Captain and Princess dearly."
"Well, he had this coming..."
He stood about five metres away from the tall military woman. She tossed the metal desk aside with her extra hands and created a square arena 5x5 metres in size.
Humans might consider this size too big for an area.
However, Nikolai and Verda were monsters.
Step!
Instantly, Verda pushed off the floor with explosive speed. She held her six arms fixed in defensive positions, protecting her lower body, abdomen and face.
'Shit, that's cheating!'
