Eirikr might have been caught by surprise, but he reacted just as quickly. He leaped to his feet and then flung himself at her, sand coiled around his limbs as he reached her and returned the punch that she gave him.
But it was like trying to punch a mountain. "Just what are you made of?"
Helena grinned. "My mark Order gave me strength. I cultivate the strength essence!"
Then her two hands came together in a punch on the head that smashed his head into the floor, cracking it around him. "You can't match me in a contest of strength!"
Eirikr groaned, but he jumped out of the way as her legs came down. "I'm impressed. Is there a way I can keep you guys as pets? You are strong and will be good as house guards after I take over the house."
By this time, the Master Knights of the Akatsuki had arrived, and they hung around the intruders in a circle.
There were seven of them, and then with Eirikr, that's a total of eight.
As opposed to the six Master Knights of the Soryu Clan.
