Ren was in alot of pain after that attack, even more than probably what Lucian or Mike felt when they got hit by that Mass Zombie from before. Even after that soothing water went over his body for a moment from Undine he was still in a great amount of pain. Getting hit hurt, alot. The mage now had his full attention on Sasha though as he turned around as she spat at him and said something to summon another sword out of thin air before she went to work, now holding both blades in her hand, the Wakizashi fitting better in her main hand and the Tanto in her off hand.

Sasha Tanto: 54 - 25 Distance Bonus + 25 Dual Wield Penalty - 20 Melee Weaponry - 5 Skill Bonus = 29

Hit!

Damage Dealt: 17

The man was quite good with that staff in his hands, but Sasha was currently better with her two japanese weapons, her blades barely able to get past his guard to slash at the shield, dealing damage, but the blades just struck that barrier around him, draining more power from it. While the attacks didn't necessarily strike that well, there were a few benefits. Dagger Mastery Leveled up, two windows indicating the creation of a Short Sword Mastery Skill, and two windows indicating the creation of a new Skill. 

[hider=Window]
A Skill has been created through a Special Action. Through practicing wielding two weapons, one in each hand, the ability to properly wield a weapon or tool in each hand, Dual Wielding, has been created. [/hider]

[hider=Dual Wielding]
Dual Wielding (Level 1: 0/100 EXP) (Passive): You are somewhat proficient in wielding a weapon or tool in both hands. As long as one of your weapons is a Light Weapon and the other is a Medium you can make an attack with both weapons, suffering only a 10% Attack Speed Penalty to the attacks with both weapons. As this Skill's level increases this penalty will decrease. Also you have a +1% to Parry Speed while Dual Wielding and bonuses from Weapon Mastery Skills apply to both Weapons. To Level Up: Parry while Dual Wielding, Attack while Dual Wielding, get a Critical while Dual Wielding. [/hider]

Still, the shield was definitely weakening, but how much power it had left was uncertain. Still, Silas still had his opportunity to either counterattack against the armored man or attempt a different strategy lest he be completely pounded into dust by the hammer.
