There was no time to block both. My body moved on pure instinct.
I ducked down, dropping into a low crouch. Both swords whistled pass my head, so close I felt the displacement of air rustle my hair.
In the process of their swords slashing through the empty space where my neck had been, the two robots, unable to arrest their momentum, ended up cutting their own arms.
There was a horrible crunch of polymer as their weapons bit into each other's joints.
Sparks flew. Their systems short-circuited, and they fell to the ground in a tangled, twitching heap.
I stared dumbfoundedly at their fallen robot bodies.
How much dumber can they be?
It was a flaw in their programming, a failure to account for their own proximity.
At least their stupidity saved me some time and energy.
I didn't have a second to celebrate. Suddenly I felt something fly towards me with lightning speed, entering my domain.
It wasn't a bullet this time; it was heavier, more brutal.
