As Fer managed to separate the two Cole moved in quickly and swiped his sword in a broad arc cutting through the armored plate on the chest of the bandit and felling him with the blow. Cole felt the blood splash on his cheek from the attack but he pulled back and readied himself all the same as he rushed over, and pushed the other bandit over once Fer had managed to knock him off balance with his shield bash. Cole went to strike at him but he got his sword blocked by the enemy's own blade he had chosen to use as his weapon. [b]"I don't care if your heroes if I don't kill you the boss will!"[/b] the bandit shouted as he kicked Cole in his knee which had little effect due to his armor. Cole proceeded then to kick him in the gut, and then the face. The bandits who weren't focused on Cole started to go and focus on the shield seemingly drawn to him as to try and get to Cole's flank.

Cole heard the swords bang off of Fer's shield and went to strike at the bandits with another meteor strike which this time was off the mark smashing into the cave wall but it bought them both time. The bandits moved backward as Cole turned back to slash the fingers off of the bandit he had kicked on the face as he had gone back for his weapon leaving him writhing on the ground in pain. The other bandits huddled together, and stared down the sword, and shield heroes. [b]"Ugh! Shouldn't you fucking do-gooders be off saving the world!? Why are farm raiders being dealt with by actual living legends huh!? Or is this the king punching down at the people he's supposedly protecting!?"[/b] growled the bandit as Cole spit on the floor.
