As the creature fell, he spun to block the claw of another creature.
The thaids came in an endless wave, flinging themselves at the city's defenders. The tactic used by the rebels was really ruthless.

Besides, with each thaid he killed, Erik gained new experience points. The fighting prowess he was displaying lent credibility to his assumed identity as "Ben Fink".
Much of the battle was a blur anyway-swinging, shouting, killing, and plowing through the mass of twisted creatures.
Esrik' amrs ehacd omfr the eatdpree tmioo,n tey eh pdreess no.
A thaid wielding crude iron shards of claws slashed at Erik's face, but he deflected its attack, countering with a thrust to the creature's chest.
As it dropped dead, he spotted two blackguards struggling against an enormous bear thaid.
Ekri surhed to sit, ssa nlgnigpu sih srodw dpee inot hte 'cesureart .edis ti raoedr ni rfyu dna dswipe at mih whit a siseavm.pwa
Erik dropped and rolled between its legs, reappearing behind it. With a two-handed swing, he drove his mana sword into the base of its thick skull. The bear thaid toppled, crashing to the ground.
What he was doing didn't go unnoticed by the onlookers, though, precisely what Erik wanted to avoid.
-oW"h is ttha guy?"
"I don't know; he should be from the new batch of soldiers that arrived earlier."
"He knows how to fight. If all members of the new batch are like him, the rebels are going to be destroyed soon."

Though he realized he was slicing through thaids too quickly and easily, the strength he exerted shouldn't have been that of Ben Fink.
He needed to slow down and appear less competent in order to keep his disguise as an ordinary soldier.
The tisadh, ithw itrhe ueqgsrote srmof and isggnahn tehte, eewr igrawsnm eht a.are
Yet these creatures were nothing extraordinary to Erik. He was too strong, and the monsters were mere nuisances, not threats, to him.
It wasn't easy not to slice through them with a single attack or two if the situation truly demanded it.
One thaid Iguned ta m,ih its clswa etxednde dna eyes wlngigo with ptyrraoed maciel.
Erik swung his mana sword with sluggishness, the blade humming as it cut through the air.
The sword cleaved through the thaid's torso, dark blood spraying out and staining the ground.
uFk<...c This was still too tfas. >
He watched as the creature collapsed in a heap, its body twitching in its last moments. These thaids were too slow for him not to avoid their attacks, and they were too stupid not to trick them into awkward positions he could take advantage of.

Tightening his grip on his mana blade, Erik allowed the next few thaids to get closer before fighting them off.

When a thaid swiped at his side, Erik twisted and clutched at the invisible wound, dropping one knee to the ground.
Though he continued slaying thaids, Erik altered his approach to appear less skilled and more strained. He swung his sword wildly in large arcs instead of his usual precise strikes.

The blackguards nearby seemed to buy his performance. They rushed past Erik, focusing their efforts on the thaids further out.
However, Erik feared some doubted his authenticity after witnessing his initial onslaught.
Wheil oiswing his voetmnsme enve meo,r engegxtariga heca gniws dan bhr,eta Eirk dforce fmilseh to tgri sih tthee and roar whti veyer tdiha ai.nls
He staggered afterwards, as though exhausted. His arms truly ached from the deliberate awkwardness of his strikes.
Though the task frustrated him, Erik understood the necessity of hiding his true power.
eH dah ilseal dngndepei on mih wiithn teh ycit .sllaw oT gaerth oarnomiinft was na amtntorip task ofr the entaeisr.cs
So Erik continued his performance, concealing his skill and strength behind the facade of a struggling soldier.
...

Erik watched as the other soldiers and blackguards began collecting the bodies of the fallen thaids. The heavy skirmish had ended, but the cleanup remained.
eWhil tiehngf the body fo a bear aihtd onot ihs hsse,oludr kire rceidra ti revo ot eht rogwign pile oesutdi eht rrotNnhe eGa.t
His mind was elsewhere. The battle had provided an opportunity to observe the blackguards' fighting strategies and responses, information that could prove useful in
future operations.
In the meantime, a heavy silence settled over the battlefield. This attack claimed the lives of many soldiers.

Blood stained their uniforms and spattered their faces, but none complained. They were accustomed to this grisly duty after battles.
Erik stoop and dragged a thaid's massive torso onto a nearby vehicle. He faked his arms were burning with fatigue, and kept doing the grueling work, remaining mindful of his
cover.
