Unusual

The speed of the skinny, deranged humans was unbelievable, easily rivalling a new Initiate. Their speed, accompanied by the surprise of their attack, made it so that almost no one was ready to face them.

The first one lunged into Nero's spear on its own, but instead of being skewered, the spear only partially stabbed him, getting stuck on the bone. In fact, the spear was nearly ripped out of Nero's hands due to the amazing resistance the attacking human put up.

But Nero held on, and turned the spears blade, freeing from the bone and allowing it to cut through the body. Yet the attacking human was barely fazed. With claws and fangs that were unusually sharp, it leaped at Nero, dark red blood streaming down its body.

This time, however, Nero effortlessly swirled his spear, slamming its blunt end into the skinny, human and knocking it aside. Taking him by surprise once was already a big deal - he would not allow it to happen repeatedly.
