“Tch!” you seethe through clenched teeth, grasping firmly onto the protruding weapon and jerk it free before pulling it up to look at it. It looks odd for a knife, the top half of the blade protruding forward. It forms an almost-L shape instead of being a straight blade, the end of the blade covered in your own blood.
“HAA!” the woman fighting Caulifla shouts, kicking her back-first into the wall and raising her sword overhead for a kill shot. But, unfortunately for her, her ally you'd just dispatched gave you a perfect throwing weapon. So with your limited movement thanks to the blade in your left shoulder you pitch it, the boomerang-like blade spinning through the air in a single circle before slamming point-first into her back. The knife hits with enough force to stagger her, giving your daughter an opening. “Guuuh!?”
“Gotcha!” Caulifla shouts, left hand covered in the same darkness as the Darkwraiths as she grabs the taller woman by the face.
“NOOO! No no no no no!!” the phantom shouts in abject terror, you feeling her ki dropping as Caulifla holds her. That one's done, so you reach up your back with your right hand, and brush against the second knife in your back. It steals your breath, the pain blooming in your chest as the blade moves in your back. Fortunately it isn't deep in, you grabbing it by the blade and jerking the knife free.
“SHIT!” you shout, gasping as the painful weapon is pulled free and you can take a full breath again. As you do, you immediately reach over your left shoulder with your right arm, and jerk the third knife free as well before dropping them both to the ground, metal clattering against stone. “Gaaaah! Dammit, that hurt. Alright, who's next?”
