Kaine sighed as his foe advanced once more, never letting up, barely giving him time to breathe.

He pressed forward as well, excited and ready, welcoming the bloodshed that was to come.

His short blade, meeting the bestial warrior's bone-made longsword. Their weapons clattering sound into each of their ears when they clashed. Kaine pushed, as did his foe, beginning the contest of strength. A dance which Kaine controlled the steps of.

As their eyes met, both of them weary, but Kaine's expression was resolved...maddened almost.

Whilst his foe's was fear-struck, the creature was terrified down to its core.

As were its comrades which surrounded them, watching, waiting for an opening to have at Kaine themselves.

Seeing many...but they faltered, as the dead had seen the same openings before.

Their battered, broken and still freshly bleeding bodies laying sprawled about their surroundings.

It is just one...

One of them thought in shaken disbelief.

Just...Just one man but he kills so many...smiling even!

Glancing from the dead, and back at Kaine as he slew another.

No...this is no man...

Was its panicked conclusion.

This one's a monster!

As Kaine turned to face it, weapon ready and grinning widely throughout his approach.
