"Way too slow," I smirked, as I deflected an incoming Earth Magic projectile with my katana, and then countered by flinging a poison needle at the person who fired it at me, hitting his shoulder as he sprang out of the way, eliciting a stifled hiss of pain from his as it pierced into his skin.
"A needle? Hah, this won't be...be...enough to...t-to shtop m-...h-huh?" He began, before trailing off and collapsing onto the ground as the poison took effect, his mouth foaming and his body spasming violently.
Okay, that's half of them down, still more than ten of them left to go.
I then leapt up as several of the hooded figures fired out their Spells at me, evading the attacks before kicking off the wall to the right of the alley to spring further up into the air, reaching into my Item Box.
