Ouyang Biya adapted as the fight continued on. She started to get used to the mage's unexpected attack that could come from anywhere. Another thing she realized about mages was that they were utilizing elemental attacks most of the time. Unless she prepared a defensive formation, she should never block or meet it head-on.
While she could redirect most of the attack with Gentle Flow, some of the elementals were still affecting her. The thunder that transferred the shock through her sword slowed her down slightly. Then there was also the ice element that stiffened her movement as well.
Ouyang came up with several plans to fight them, but she could never apply her plan because of their teamwork. That was the most frustrating part of fighting these five figures. They never overwhelmed her with their attacks. They always took a turn; one or two attacked her, and the remaining three would cover for the two.
