as soon as Mars signaled to strike Victoria melted into a shadow which glided across the clearing until she was in the blind spot in the middle of the hobgoblins where she emerged from the shadow and punched on one of the hobgoblins while she fired spells at another 4, Mars took this as his signal to act and jumped out of the brushes before he kicked off the ground and stormed the nearest hobgoblin which was caught totally unprepared as it brought up its poorly made spear to block
'heh...'
time slowed down for Mars as he drew his sword and easily slashed through the poorly made spear as well as the neck of the hobgoblin with his sword, then he activated [Instant movement] and instantly cut open another 6 hobgoblins, this thinned the group down to 3 hobgoblins which instantly turned and tried to flee however 2 of them was stuck down by shadow spears impaling them and just like planned only one managed to escape, Mars gave a nod everything went as he had planned
