I kept my focus locked on all four of them, tracking their movements with my perception.
Steve reached his target first. His sword flashed, slicing through the air toward the man's throat. But the guy leaned back just enough to dodge it.
Steve didn't hesitate. He shifted his footing, twisted his grip, and reversed the swing, aiming again for the neck. The man jumped back quickly, barely dodging.
Then came a sharp whoosh.
An arrow tore through the air, aimed clean at the man's head. He tilted just slightly, and the arrow whizzed past his cheek.
In the next second, a barrage of attacks followed. Wind blades, bursts of elemental force, all fired at once. The man twisted and jumped, weaving through it all with fast, sharp movements.
Just as he dodged a wind blade, Steve reappeared behind him, his sword flashing again toward the man's neck.
This time, the man had no space left.
