Immediately, Valen dropped to the side to avoid the attack.
'This was the attack Asterix warned me about!' he thought, feeling a nick on his shoulder before dropping to the floor.
That small hit moved his body back, nearly making a forty-degree angle.
"Damn!" he whispered as he tried regaining his balance, holding onto the rope.
'No!' Rhyla hid the disappointment on her face. 'This is what I was trying to avoid.'
Surrounding her were nobles whispering to each other.
"What happened?"
"Why did Valen jump to dodge that attack?"
Rhyla shook her head slightly. 'Now Valen cannot afford another mistake…'
Cheng had an amused look on his face. "It seems that has gotten a bit of attention."
The Baron nodded. "So that was the one move that beat Jorvik."
